I'm not a big watcher of American Idol (being in Australia obviously) but the Mariah Carey night caught my eye and I paid a bit of attention.
There was the odd slaughter of a MC classic but it was David Cook's treatment of Always Be My Baby that really stood head and shoulders above everything else. He's taken a pop song that's pretty breezy and given it a much harder edge and it works big time.
Worth checking out.
As an aside, I've just picked up the new Marah Carey CD, E=MC2, and am about to start listening. I'm going to be critical so stay tuned.
Also, I just wondered if Mariah mimed at least some of her song on Idol?

You should look up David Cook doing Billy Jean. He really did something special with that song.
Yeah Billie Jean wasn't bad. I don't watch Idol (even Oz Idol) as a rule so my views are limited.
Well, good music is good music, so... :)
