David Cook - Music of The Night Lyrics 4-22-2008
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it
Tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing
Music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candle light
Dare you trust the music of the night?

Close your eyes
For your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be

Secretly possess you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Close your eyes
Start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes
And let music set you free
Only then can you belong to me

Carly Smithson - Jesus Christ Superstar Lyrics 4-22-2008
Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of your hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?

If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
Don't you get me wrong

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop
Buddah was he where it's all? Is he where you are?
Could Mahomet move a mountain or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death would be a record-breaker?
Don't you get me wrong

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are

As for the judges comments, Randy said "What is really cool is that you can sing anything... It was a bomb. This boy is the one to beat". Paula said "I think it was absolutely perfect.

Simon said "I thought it was pleasant, one of your weakest performances over the show. It wasn't one of the performances you'll gonna remember. It's absolutely get you through next week but it was forgettable for me".

David Archuleta - Think of Me Lyrics 4-22-2008
Think of me
Think of me fondly when we've said goodbye
Remember me
Once in a while, please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again
you long to take your heart back and be free

If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me yeah

Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don't think about the things which might have been
Think of me
Think of me
Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind

Think of the things we never knew
There will never be a day when I won't think of you.

Brooke White - You Must Love Me Lyrics 4-22-2008

where do we go from here?
this isn't where we intended to be
we had it all, you beleived in me; i believed in you.
certainties disappear
what do we do for our dream to survive?
how do we keep all our passions alive as we used to do?

deep in my heart, i'm concealing
things that i'm longing to say
scared to confess what i'm feeling...
frightened you'll slip away
you must love me
you must love me

deep in my heart, i'm concealing
things that i'm longing to say
scared to confess what i'm feeling...
frightened you'll slip away
you must love me

It's not your thing... too much melody from me for you". Paula said "I think it was a very wise choice for you to do the song... and it further identifies your unique being as an artist, it sounds like a pop ballad". Simon said "It felt to me like a longest two minutes of your life. The reality was it came over as a young guy being forced by your mom and dad to sing a song at a wedding you didn't want to sing. You miserable throughout it. It wasn't your style in music."

Jason Castro - Memory Lyrics 4-22-2008
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun
