Who's going home tonight? The bottom three are easy...but it's a hard week (to say the least) to pick the worst.

Safe this week: David Archuleta

Not 100% safe: David Cook, Brooke White and Jason Castro.

In the bottom three:

3) Syesha

2) Kristy Lee Cook

and going home this week:

1) Carly Smithson

It's a tough call... Here's my scorecard from last night:

David Archuleta: A- ...not his best, but still great. And, Simon is completely on board now, as he's started to talk about David while commenting on the other performers. He's in to the end.

Carly Smithson: C ...enough shouting, I can't take it anymore. She's fine, but the party has got to be over. Is she connecting with anyone?

Syesha: B ...could have one of the best voices this season, when she's on. Last night, she sounded great, but it was a forgettable performance.

Brooke White: B+ ...sure, she didn't sound perfect, and was extremely nervous, but she was real, and that goes a long way. Apparently, America loves her. (Though, if I'm way off tonight, then she's going home.)

Kristy Lee Cook: B ...fine, rough start, old-fashioned, but probably did enough to keep the votes coming in from her dedicated fans.

David Cook: B- ...and I'm being generous, but at the very least, it was different, and I think he continues to prove that he might be worthy of winning the whole thing...

Jason Castro: B ...he got the job done, he finished the show, he'll be fine.

What do you think? Who do you think will be in the bottom three and going home tonight?
