American Idol Review 4.21.09
*watch the above video if you’re in the mood for a laugh at some ridiculous girl’s expense. what a tool.
And then there were 7…again…
Theme: So Matt was saved last week and returns with the other 6 for a night of Disco. Blah. Not excited about the theme. Here we go…
Lil Rounds – “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan: I’m done feeling bad for her. She’s a sweet girl, but she picks dumb songs that don’t show what she can actually do with her voice. I really wanted her to do well but it’s time for her to go home. The vocals were shaky, she screamed the song and overall just can’t seem to become comfortable on stage.
GCT Rating: 2/10
Kris Allen – “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer: I have nothing but respect for this guy right now. Getting past my school girl crush, Kris is giving Adam (percieved frontrunner) a bit of a competition. Did anyone think that Kris would have picked a Donna Summer song? No one did. No only was the song choice courageous, but he completely pulled it off. The song was a tad boring at times for me, but overall I really enjoyed the performance. Bravo! (ps: Kris if you’re reading this, I want to have sexytimes with you).
GCT Rating: 7/10
Danny Gokey – “Yesterday” by Lionel Ritchie: Hmm. Well I thought he sang it really well, but my god is he uncomfortable to watch on stage. It’s like he’s doing a really bad version of the humpty dance while he sings. I’m really torn about Danny. I like his voice, but I’m not quite sure I love his performances. I thought he did well last night, but I wasn’t blown away. Dogg.
GCT Rating: 5/10
Allison Iraheta – “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer: I love Donna Summer and I kind of hated this arragement (updated rock sound), but this girl tore it up. I really like Allison and still can’t believe how talented she is at such a young age. I have a feeling she’s going to be in the top 3. Overall, amazing performance from Allison.
GCT Rating:8/10
Adam Lambert “If I Can’t Have You” by Yvonne Elliman (written by Bee Gees): I think everyone assumed he’d do a Bee Gees song, though this one wasn’t actually sung by them. Another terrific performance from Adam. I realize now that you either love him or hate him, and i LOVE him. His vocal abilities are insane and he seems so polished as a performer. I loved the arrangement of this song and really enjoy him changing things up a bit. He’s definitely my winner tonight.
GCT Rating: 9/10
Matt Giraud – “Stayin Alive” by BeeGees: Oh Matt, why? Why the BeeGees? When you sing in the style of the Gibbs you have to sing an extremely high falsetto all the time. This just didn’t work. He hit some awful notes but had some decent moments in there. He had to come out strong this week and just fell flat. I really want him in the competition but this was painful to watch.
GCT Rating: 4/10
Anoop Desia – “Dim All The Lights” by Donna Summer. I really don’t know how i feel about this one. I think his vocals were decent, with exception to that awful last note, but I’m not sure I got this performance. It had its moments but was overall a bit boring and blah. He could be in trouble after this. I also hate the softened arrangement for this song. It just didn’t work for me.
GCT Rating: 5/10
My Order of Hotness:
1. Adam
2. Allison
3. Kris
4. Danny
5. Anoop
6. Matt
7. Lil
Prediction for Bottom 3:
There will be two going home tonight. I think Lil is a pretty safe bet for one of the slots. I think that it’s a tossup between Anoop and Matt for the 2nd. I’m going to go ahead and guess that it’ll be Lil and Matt, but don’t be surprised if something wacky happens tonight.
i think the voting was pretty on point this week. i would love kris, adam, and allison to be final three…who do i want to win? i still don’t know.
That ridiculous girl needs to put the crack pipe away and come back down to earth. Adam is gay. She needs to deal with it … and find a shrink who enjoys a challenge.
My prediction for the finale: Adam & Danny.
I have no prediction as to who will win, however. It’s partly because it’s a tough call, and partly because I don’t care. Not in a “who the hell cares” kinda way, but more like a “they are both great and I’d be happy with either of them as the winner” sort of way.
I checked out that girls youtube site and she is hated by soooo many people. She’s only 18 and clearly has no idea how stupid and ashamed shes gonna be of herself in 3 years time. If she doesnt already feel that way now. I mean she disabled comments to this video cuz she knows its all just gonna be attacks on her sorry ass.
I loved the top 5 Idol group medley last night. It was moving to see Aaron Kelly got rid of but I think the other singers were better singers hence he had to go!
