American Idol
It is David versus David in this season's final showdown
Jolene
This darker song is an excellent choice by Brooke to lead off Dolly Parton night, but her voice sounds tight and she seems a bit tense and rushed on the first verse or so. (Unlike the judges, I thought she connected with the song at the end, though.) One problem: the classic Idol disease, smiley-itis. You're pleading with her not to take your man, not asking her if she wants to get an Orange Julius.
