Matt Giraud
Michael Sarver
Scott MacIntyre


OUT: Michael Sarver, was not saved.

Matt was only in the bottom just to make him noticeable

iTunes Top 100 this week!

Top 10 | Motown

Matt Giraud- "Let's Get it On": Good solid performance. I like his voice.
Kris Allen- "How Sweet it Is": Another adorable and actually a very good performance from Kris! I love the fact that he's really into all of his performances. He's a hardworker.
Scott MacIntyre- "You Can't Hurry Love": He's a good pianist, not a great singer. He can sing, but I don't think he's fit for this competition. He's too safe. It was really cheesy. I can see him in the bottom
Megan Joy- "For Once in My Life": It was painful to watch and listen at the same time. I still like her though, because she doesn't come off as conceited. Bad arrangement.
Anoop Desai- "Ooh Baby Baby": He has a beautiful voice, but that was quite boring. Safe though, but boring. He should step it up. It seemed like the judges were so sure that he'd still be there next week. "You should do this next week", "Do this next week"...
Michael Sarver- "Ain't Too Proud to Beg": He tries too hard. He should stick to ballads, but then again I don't think he's a great performer/ singer.
Lil Rounds- "Heatwave": I won't deny that she a great singing voice because she really does have it. But she doesn't have the WOW factor. Her songs are too safe, she does not stand out. I think the judges really want her to shine. I do too because she seems like a really great person, and is deserving to be in AI.
Adam Lambert- "Tracks of my Tears": The best performance so far in American Idol 8, one of the best performances ever in American Idol. His voice is just amazing, I cannot believe his falsetto. I am so jealous of his voice. Interesting look Adam! I love Adam Lambert and I hope he loves me too. HAHAHAHA. No seriously, it was great. I think most haters agree with me and the rest of the GLAMBERTS. He lives up to the hype.
Danny Gokey- "Get Ready": Cheesy. Again, great singer, but too much church music director going on. I still don't get the hype.
Allison Iraheta- "Papa Was a Rolling Stone": David Hernandez's version remains to be one of my favorite performances in AI history, and Allison's does not surpass his greatness. However, she is probably the best female contest this season. She's only 16 and she can sing like she has been singing for 100 years. Hehe. It was a fantastic vocal and she deserved to be in the pimp spot.

DAVID COOK | DAVID ARCHULETA in Manila

Mall of Asia Open Grounds, May 16TH

Results | Top 11

So I was riight!

The actual bottom 3 of the week:
Allison Iraheta
Michael Sarver
Alexis Grace (lol Randy called her Allison)

Allison did not deserve to be there. Seriously. But I predicted that she is.

Anyway

Carrie Underwood & Randy Travis performed. Carrie had an unusual outfit especially the thingon her hair. Ick. Good performance though.

Alexis Grace out! Never did care for her, but she was one of the supposed favorites. Another harsh "unsaving" by the judges. She won't be in the AI tour.


MOTOWN WEEK. *crosses fingers for Adam, Kris, Anoop and Matt*
David Cook will be performing at next week's results show! Well they've pre-recorded his performance already. I am so excited for my favorite Idol contestant.

Grand Ole Opry | Top 11

Michael Sarver- I don't get why this guy is still here. Sure, he has a good voice, but he is very boring. Very forgettable.
Allison Iraheta- Great energy, again. I am actually hoping that she can do a ballad or something next time.
Kris Allen- Oh dear. I absolutely loved this performance. His voice was just beautiful. It wasn't the perfect vocal, but it was definitely pure. Raw talent. That is why I admire the guy.
Lil Rounds- She was pretty good, but singing a song that was sung by Carrie Underwood amazingly, imo, is not a good thing. Carrie slayed that. Lil was making a point that she can also sing country, so shut up Randy.
Adam Lambert- HAHA. Speechless. It left me hot and heavy, and not really in a good way. I wasn't "violated" really. I felt a bit uncomfortable and well nervous when he was performing. Simon just lied! It wasn't horrible. It was different, but good. Strange, but good and interesting. I can't wait for him to sing ballads. This was not a ballad. HAHA. I still love him.
Scott MacIntyre- One word: Boring. Sorry Scottie.
Alexis Grace- I do not get the appeal of this person. I don't get her vocal ability whatsoever. She can sing, but her singing is nothing special. I think this was her worst performance so far, but I hope she won't go far. Stop trying to be "dirty".
Danny Gokey- From Hero to Zero. It was a bad performance. Stop pimping this guy. I dislike him even more. Voice : nothing special.
Anoop Desai- From Zero to Hero! Beautiful voice. See? And people say he doesn't have a good voice. He so does! Glad he picked a ballad.
Megan Joy- Much better than last week's. Still had pitch problems, but not to worry! She had the flu and she did a good job.
Matt Giraud- I love guys playing the piano/guitar. Well not all guys. Haha. I like Matt's voice, and his awesome piano playing. A potential winner, imo.

My favorites (ranked):
Kris Allen
Adam Lambert / Matt Giraud
Anoop Desai

Not so good performances (not ranked):
Scott MacIntyre
Michael Sarver
Alexis Grace

Who SHOULD be in the Bottom 3:
Alexis Grace
Michael Sarver
Scott MacIntyre

Who WILL be in the Bottom 3:
I'm guessing... Allison / Alexis / Michael / Megan

Who should go home:
Alexis or Michael

Top 13 results

Group performance, Jackson 5 medley- It wasn't good, it wasn't that bad either. But I cringed so hard when Danny soloed dancing. He just made me dislike him more.

Ok, the twist. The judges have the power to save the eliminated person, however they can only do this once in the season until Top 6 only. This was created to prevent the "shocker eliminations" happening (e.g: Chris Daughtry, Michael Johns, Jennifer Hudson, etc...) I hope they will choose wisely.

JASMINE MURRAY - out! Finally, but I felt really bad for her. She had to prove herself again to the judges by singing I'll Be There. It was just as bad as the previous night. Ryan asked Randy if they will be saving her. And Randy said no. Poor girl. She experienced being somewhat rejected by America and at the same time by the judges. Harsh twist.

Kanye West "Heartless"- I never liked Kanye's music, or even Kanye himself. Bad performance, lip synching at its worst. Why oh why. I would preferred "Love Lockdown" instead, because it was heard in Skins 3! Haha.

Between Anoop Desai and Jorge Nuñez

Kelly Clarkson "My Life Would Suck Without You"- She should have been the only guest! Not her best performance, but okay.

JORGE NUÑEZ- out! NOOOOO. He sings again, Simon directly says no. I hate it. He should have stayed over hmm, Michael Sarver. He is such a good singer, and seems to be a tough contender once he gets the importance of good song choices. =(

Grand Ole Opry theme next week. *Yawn*. OMG ADAM please be really really good! Enough with the super high notes for once. LET THE HATERS HEAR YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE! You will be awesome, I know it!

Top 13 - Michael Jackson

Lil Rounds "The Way You Make Me Feel"- Over the top singing. One of my fave MJ songs, she kinda ruined it with the singing. Not bad performance though.
Scott MacIntyre "Keep the Faith"- It was just okay.
Danny Gokey "Pretty Young Thing"- I was surprised because I didn't hate it! I don't like the dude, but his performance was good. BUT... the dancing + singing = church music director.
Michael Sarver "You Are Not Alone"- Good voice, not so good with the stage presence.
Jasmine Murray "I'll Be There"- OMG. I don't get the love from the judges! She was nasal all over. It wasn't a good vocal performance AND performance at all.
Kris Allen "Do You Remember the Time?"- Weird with the guitar. I like seeing him play the guitar though. Nice voice, IRRITATINGLY ADORABLE!!!
Allison Iraheta "Give in to Me"- As usual, great voice. The top female vocalist for me.
Anoop Desai "Beat It"- So disappointing. I didn't want to finish his performance.
Jorge Nuñez "Never Can Say Goodbye"- He sang it well. The judges just diverted him in entering the Bottom 3. Jorge >>>>> Jasmine.
Megan Joy Corkrey "Rockin' Robin"- Awkward. I still like her though. She had the poorest song choice, I feel.
Adam Lambert "Black & White"- THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVAR IN SEASON 8. Probably one of the best performances ever in the history of AI. I am not exaggerating. I don't get the hate. Haters to the farthest left. I think, after the scandal, the song is very appropriate. I think he was about to cry during Paula's comment. Other people just hate him because of his fabulousness, jealous! I don't get the hate of being too theatrical. Jeez, as if people actually watch musicals. They just hate theater.
Matt Giraud "Human Nature"- Nice performance. Didn't like his falsetto though. Would have preferred just him playing the piano, no band.
Alexis Grace "Dirty Diana"- I don't get it. I still feel she has an identity crisis. Is she good girl with awesome pipes or a bad girl with mediocre pipes. I'd like her if she was the former.


Favorite performances:
ADAM!
KRIS!
MATT G!
ALLISON!

Wildcard shocker! | The Top 13

Jesse- You know, she's pretty good. She should have advanced, but someone else got in the way.
Matt- Huge improvement from his Group 2 performance. Good for him. I'm excited to see him play killer piano.
Megan- I liked her last performance better than this. She wasn't comfortable with the song I guess. Still, one of the female contestants I like.
Von- Well, he was too nervous. I thought he'd be Top 12 material since he had the publicity whatever.
Jasmine- She had the worst performance, IMO.
Ricky- I completely disagree with Simon. Ricky deserves to be in the Top 12
Tatiana- The judges tried to give her bad comments. She was actually good. Picking the same song made it easier for the judges to not advance her. How sad. Oh, LOL at her "accent", copying Jorge. Faker.
Anoop- It was so fun watching him perform. He started out flat, but he ended the song well. Yay Anoop!


Jasmine- IN (I don't know why)
Ricky- OUT (Ricky over Jasmine please)
Megan and Tatiana (Megan is in, sad for the newly "accentuated" Tatiana)
Jesse- OUT
Von- OUT
(It was so obvious that the end would be Matt vs Anoop)
Matt - IN
(Anoop prepares to leave the stage... Ryan tugged his arm... Simon saying stuff)
Anoop -IN :O

Yes, Top 13.

Who will advance: Matt Megan Anoop / Tatiana probably

American Idol 8- Group 3 Performances

Von Smith- Very painful to watch. I thought he did better with his "pompous" performances. I thought he would be a shoo-in for the Top 12, looks like he ruined that chance.
Taylor Vaifanua- I had high expectations for this girl. I really think she picked the wrong song. It was such a bad karaoke performance.
Alex Wagner-Trugman- The growling was a bit much. It could have been good. It was awkward. Another potential Top 12 thrown under the bus. But he is still so goofy looking, dorky... still no Top 12 spot for him.
Arianna Afsar - I watched her performances on YouTube, she really can sing. I was really excited for this girl since she started to be a judge favorite during first auditions with her BailyRae song. Another painful performance, painful song. Sorry girl. The last note: OMG.
Ju'not Joyner - We need a little diversity in our current Top 12! I guess we have it right her with Joyner. Good rendition of the nthly played song of Plain White Ts. Has a good chance in entering the Top 12. But, I find him boring. Good performance, one of the better ones. From an emo band version to an RnB one. =)
Kristen McNamara - I just find her, unlikeable. I can't deny that she has good singing voice, but I just don't like & I don't know why. I guess it's because of the Hollyweed week. She was so annoying back then. Boring & forgettable. But she probably had one of the better performances. Oh the end of the performance, just ick.
Nathaniel Marshall - LOL. It was so wrong of him to choose a Meatloaf song. I occasionally see Meatloaf's video of the song and I always think that 'Meatloaf is the only one who can sing this song.... ever.' NM turned it into a disco song, ohdearmy. Certainly not his best performance. Hollywood week was much better for him. Bye bye drama queen.
Felicia Barton - She impressed me! No air time! Last minute replacement for Joanna Pacitti! Not a great performance but definitely one of the better performances.
Scott MacIntyre - I don't want to be cruel, but he wasn't good. I think I like him as a person, and not specifically a singer. He's more of an artist or a musician who writes great songs, plays the piano amazingly. But not as a frontman. He was better with his "I'm Going Home" rendition during Hollywood. I don't care whether or not he uses his blindness for votes, he seems to be genuine and I wish him all the best.
Kendall Beard - Oh dear, another wannabe Carrie Underwood. Don't they get it? Well, I hope that they can realize that no other country singer (coming from Idol) will surpass the success of Carrie. Oh yeah, the performance was just blah to me. Nothing special. It wasn't that bad, wasn't good either.
Jorge Nuñez - Yes! I was really waiting for his performance. He really has a great voice and he seems to be really into the competition. He wants this, you can see it. The tears were heartwrenching. I cried with him and Paula. (*Kara was so irritating ".. oh he's so cute!"). When he told his feelings in Spanish, I laughed and teared up at the same time. Definitely Top 12 worthy.
Lil Rounds- Wow, they really placed the most pimped up contestants last (Danny, Adam and now Lil). What a way to get the most votes, ey? Lil is a good singer, but her performance was lackluster. I think she overdid it. BUT, a good performance.

OVERALL: I was very underwhelmed generally. The weakest group.

The good performances (yeah, there was no BEST that night):
Ju'Not Joyner
Kristen MacNamara
Felicia Barton
Jorge Nuñez
Lil Rounds

Who should advance:
Felicia Barton (as the top girl)
Jorge Nuñez (as the top guy)
Ju'Not Joyner / Lil Rounds (the next highest)

Who will advance:
Lil Rounds (top girl)
Scott MacIntyre (top guy)
Ju'Not Joyner / Felicia Barton / Jorge Nuñez (the next highest)

My wildcard picks:
Jorge Nunez (I have a feeling he won't get in)
Alex Wagner-Trugman
Arianna Afsar (I think she deserves a chance.)
