American Idol Review 5.5.09

Theme: It’s down to 4 and we’re doing Rock & Roll. Hmm…there are duets. This should be interesting. 

Adam Lambert – “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin: This was the perfect song choice for him. He picked a song where he could do Captain Screamy and no one could argue with it. This was bound to be his night, and he delivered. His vocal range is insane and sick. I can’t believe half the notes this boy can hit. DAMN! 

GCT Rating: 9/10

Allison Iraheta – “Cry Baby” by Janis Joplin: I think the verses slowed down in tempo a bit and were a tad choppy, but her chorus made up for it. She has unbelievable power and I think was unbelievable. I also think she commanded the stage tonight. I would have loved something different (Joplin=predictable), but I can’t argue with the girls pipes. 

GCT Rating: 8/10

DUET: Danny/Kris – “Renegade” by Styx: I’m not sure how to judge these. The two had great harmonies, but didn’t mesh will at times. It was an awkward performance. I could tell Kris was pissed off at Simon’s comments. I honestly thought Kris sounded better. I’m not sure why Simon is attached to Danny’s sack, but he needs to get over it. Overall i suppose it was a decent performance.

GCT Rating: 6/10

Kris Allen – “Come Together” by the Beatles: I think Kris did as much as he could with this night. He didn’t try to do too much, which was fine, but this ended up sounding a bit safe and boring. Overall the vocals were great, but I’m not sure he showed anything different tonight. He might be in trouble tonight, as sad as that makes me.

Danny Gokey – “Dream On” by Aerosmith: What? Why the song choice? What? Are you kidding? Gokey? Are you insane? This was a wreck. 

GCT Rating: 4/10

DUET: Adam/Allison – “Slowride” by Foghat: This was great. I’m not sure I loved the duet format tonight, but I’m glad these to sang together. Stellar vocals and I’m thinking Allison totally helped herself tonight. I think it might be these two in the end. They both have the strongest vocals. 

GCT Rating: 8/10

My Order of Hotness:

1. Adam

2. Allison

3. Kris

4. Danny

Prediction for Bottom 3:

I’m not sure they’ll pick a bottom 3, perhaps 2. I’m guessing Danny and Kris are the most likely to go. I have a feeling Kris is in trouble. However, based on tonight, I think it should be Danny. Therefore, I’m going to pick Danny in hopes that the cosmic forces will turn this blog into reality. I’m over Gokey. Yeah, I said it.
