Top 5 | Rat Pack

Kris "The Way You Look Tonight"- Very sweet rendition. It was obvious that he can't hit the higher notes, but his, I'm doing a Kara here, interpretation of the song was quite good.
Allison "Someone to Watch Over Me"- I really liked her voice with the song. It wasn't your typical voice like (McPhee's). I liked it very much. She has to stay until the finals. She really deserves it.
Matt "My Funny Valentine"- Melinda Doolittle and Constantine Maroulis pwned. Matt... I don't know. It was forgettable and he tries to hard to do the runs. I don't get you Simon.
Danny "Come Rain Come Shine"- It wasn't his worst performance. It was good. One of his performances that I will tolerate listening to.
Adam "Feelin` Good"- Loved the entrance, of course. I think they edited the part where he said that there's a rock edge to it. Listen again, you could hear it. Again, great vocals. I am not too keen with his ending though. He should do another "Tracks of my Tears" or "Mad World" again because those were times when he didn't do his thang.

Top 7 Results

Paula choreographs the group performance! It was pretty good. I was impressed with everyone. I think the best dancers are Adam, Matt and Lil. Kris was too adorable.

Lil is eliminated. It was time for her to go. But Paula was right, she left with a bang. She performed her last song as a contestant well.

David Archuleta performs "Touch My Hand" The song is such a girly song. Anyway, he sang it well and he was so adorable with the attempt in dancing and jumping. Haha.

Anoop is eliminated. Too bad for Anoop. He started to be an early favorite, but he became boring. I love his voice though.

The group seems really close, I like it.

THEME NEXT WEEK: Jazz: The Rat Pack.

Top 7 again! | Disco week

You know that it will be a cheese-fest. Well, only about 3 performances weren't.

Lil Rounds "I'm Every Woman"- Her voice lacks so much power and depth. Her song choice was very obvious and I think it was very karaoke.
Kris Allen "She Works Hard for the Money" - I loved his song choice. The guitar intro reminded me of his Michael Jackson performance. Anyway, it was original and memorable. One of his better ones. I still think his best was "To Make You Feel My Love".
Danny Gokey "September"- I don't think his voice was brilliant. I don't know what was up with the judges. I think they are forced to say amazing comments for Danny. Funny and very irritating thing, when Simon said that his performance wasn't good, you could see his face that he disagrees so much. Eh.
Allison Iraheta "Hot Stuff" - I liked the arrangement, did not love it. Hands down the best female vocalist this season, OBVIOUSLY. Even if you place the ones who were eliminated already or belonged in the Top 36 at least, she is still the best female vocalist.
Adam Lambert "If I Can't Have You"- Another amazing performance from Adam. However it wasn't as memorable as "Mad World" and "Tracks of my Tears", it does make "Play that Funky Music" non-existent, haha. Kidding. It's not that I hated PTFM, I was just very disappointed with the song choice. What I really loved about his choice this week was he managed to surprise everyone by doing it slow. I laughed so hard when Simon said that he bet that Adam would sing a Donna Summer song. Oh and, Kara with "You look like the guy from Saturday Night Live... wuuuutttt". OH! I loved Simon's comment about his voice "IMMACULATE".
Matt Giraud "Stayin` Alive"- I don't know what to say. It was weird. It wasn't the worst, but I am guessing that after this performance he'd be in the bottom, but at least it wasn't as corny and awkward as Danny's.
Anoop Desai "Dim All the Lights"- BORING, still good voice. Nice look though.

Top 7 | Songs from the Cinema & Results

Allison Iraheta "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"- I still think that David Cook did a better job, in fairness to Allison, she was good. I really like the tone of her voice, I'd like to hear/see her rock out again.
Anoop Desai "Everything I Do (I'd Do It For You)"- He really has a beautiful voice. He has a potential of having a powerful singing. I do however think that it quite boring.
Adam Lambert "Born to be Wild"- Adam saves the boring night by singing this song. I find him very entertaining and just plain awesome. I don't think he's screechy, hysterical yes, but not screechy. But, to be unbiased here... it wasn't as great as "Mad World", "Tracks of my Tears", "Black or White" or even "Ring of Fire".
Matt Giraud "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman"- Very pitchy. I don't really like hearing the rest of the band playing with him. The piano solo is fine. An okay performance.
Danny Gokey "Endless Love"- The song choice is odd. I love this as a duet, and not as a solo performance. And I don't really like how he interpreted the song.
Kris Allen "Falling Slowly"- I was really excited when I read @Rickey.org that he sang this. I finally had the chance to watch his performance, and oh my, that was really flat at the beginning. It's such a hard to sing actually, very simple and monotony existed in Glen Hansard singing and the song's melody also. I commend him for choosing the beautiful song and for at least redeeming himself towards the very end.
Lil Rounds "The Rose"- I think it is the first time that I heard a ~diva~ on the Idol show (who reached at least Top 12) sing so out-of-tune. It was flat all around. I was shocked, and I think she should really sing in R&B style, without those runs. And a major turnoff, she talked backed to Simon. Wrong move dahling. I guess I can understand her feeling in a way, because she was always criticized by the judges for not picking the right song blah blah, but she shouldn't have done that.

My personal Bottom 3
Matt Giraud
Danny Gokey
Lil Rounds

Matt Giraud

He was saved by the judges. (After Simon said that he won't be winning anyway, what's the point of saving him?)
And I don't think he was one of the contestants who deserved the save.


DISCO NEXT WEEK, bleh.

Top 8 | Results

Delayed, stupid internet.

Frankie Avalon... my mom became giddy.

Oh my, the group performance was horrible BUT Adam's fabulousness saved the day. He was so... unf. He was hot during their performance, seriously. His outfit was great, dancing and singing of course. I was so jealous with Allison. LOL

FORD Commercial.. mostly Adam/Allison. Awesome. I loved his costume, obviously he went crazy when they were told it was going to be a circus.

FLORIDA- I did not watch it.
Kellie Pickler- Painful, as usual

Bottom 3
Anoop Desai
Scott MacIntyre
Lil Rounds

Out: Scott, but the judges were really considering to save him. :D
Aw, I like Scott. He seems really sweet towards everyone. I miss him already
Farewell video: OMG ADAM LAMBERT IN A JERSEY. Heehee.

Theme this week: SONGS FROM THE CINEMA with Quentin Tarantino as the mentor and Miley Cyrus as the guest performer. :

Adam! Do not disappoint. Don't do the "Play the Funky Music" thing again. Haha.

Top 8 | Songs from the Year they were Born

Danny Gokey "Stand By Me" - It was really bad. It was like Chikezie's rendition of "I've Just Seen a Face". The beginning part of the performance was forced and the latter one made the whole performance really terrible. I still don't get the Gokey love. I hope he doesn't take the crown because I'd think that I just waited months and months of watching AI8.
Kris Allen "All She Wants To Do Is Dance"- I felt so disappointed afterwards. It was probably his not so good performance so far. I found it weird that he made the screaming girls "his stage", it was a bit awkward to watch. Usually, I find his performances really catchy, but for this one I just stared at his adorable face. Haha.
Lil Rounds "What's Love Got To Do With It"- I feel sad for her. I thought she'd be one of the stronger contestants and that performance didn't make it come true. I agree with Simon that it was just a copy of Tina Turner's. I also loved her outfit! Awesome. Still, I always expected a powerhouse performance from her or something cool like an R&B vibe coming from her,
Anoop Desai "True Colors"- He really has a nice voice. But I don't get excited whenever he performs anymore. He was really cute when he was a baby.
Scott MacIntyre "The Search Is Over"- Guitar! Electric! Ambitious! He's such a sweetheart. It's like you never want to break his hearty heart. An awkward performance, I actually liked the fact that he used the guitar. Vocally, it was umm... not good.
Allison Iraheta "I Can't Make You Love Me"- I'll start of by saying that I still love Constantine Maroulis' performance even though Allison gave a much better vocal. Allison, allison. She isn't my favorite, but she's somewhere near there. She's the best female contestant this season. I'm a bit surprised that she wasn't trumped by Lil yet. Anyway, she's nice. I don't get it with Simon's comment on her being more likeable.
Matt Giraud "Part Time Lover"- I don't understand my views on Matt. I REALLY liked him during Hollywood auditions during "I Want You Back", but now it's like.... whaaatt... However, his performance was one of the better performances of the night. But it was a bit corny at times.
Adam Lambert "Mad World"- Dearness. It's really hard to sing a "Tears of Fears" song, trust me I tried it (HAHA, I'm such a professional singer). It's hard to pull it off. Yeah I know that the rendition came from Gary Jules who covered it and was showcased in Donnie Darko, whatever. Still, he managed to do it beautifully and he made the night NOT BORING. I just realized, after his performance, that the performances before his had similar arrangements! Call me crazy, but I think I'm not. HAHA. Anyway, the last note was petrifying. Simon giving him a standing ovation... wasn't the right time, I think I would have preferred "Tracks of my Tears" for it. I think he was in a rush to praise Adam he just stood up.

Top 9 | Results

*I have been busy with school, and didn't get time to blog the results immediately.*

Group song Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' (ugh I wanted to sing that if I was in AI, I'd sing that during the finals!, LOL). The pre-recorded AND lip-synced performances are so bad. The only thing good about this performance was Adam, once again.

David Cook performs 'Come Back To Me'. He has a music video of it already, and it's much better than 'Light On'. THE KISS, nooo. :D

3 groups
1: Kris, Megan, Matt
2: Adam, Lil, Allison (Adam was such a gentleman, he held his hand for Lil!)
3: Scott, Danny, Anoop

Bottom 3:
Megan, Allison, Anoop

Lady GaGa performs 'Poker Face', her acoustic and original versions. It was quite entertaining Awesome bubble piano.

Out Megan, she makes a very rude remark.
