David Archuleta: “Stand By Me: (Ben E. King) and “Love Me Tender” (Norah Jones’ cover of the Elvis Presley hit).
David Cook: “Baba O’Reilly” (The Who) and “Hungry Like the Wolf” (Duran Duran).
Jason Castro: “Mr. Tambourine Man” (Bob Dylan) and “I Shot the Sheriff” (the Eric Clapton cover of the Bob Marley tune; we’re guessing because everyone is expecting him to do the Marley version).
Syesha Mercado: “Proud Mary” (Tina Turner) and “A Change is Gonna Come” (Sam Cooke).
First impressions: What is Archuleta thinking? His selection has “treacle.” Cook: Perhaps the night’s weirdest pairing (ok, they’re both British bands; maybe not so strange). Castro: Not exactly thinking outside the box here. Mercado: Not sure if her second choice is well-known enough.
Thoughts guys?
