I honestly have no idea what the theme is for this week. Racecar spilled his Teddy Grahams (for the fourth time tonight) on the couch and while I was helping him clean them up, I lost track of American Idol and I’m too lazy to rewind it.
Anoop Desai - something by Usher – I’m going to just say this, I think Anoop is a little flat in this performance, BUT for the first time I can see him on stage as a top 40 artist with this performance. I have a feeling the judges will not agree with me because Brian hated this performance. Simon thought it was a mess. Whatevs.
Ariel just asked when bikini girl was going to come back. Apparently she’s bored. Why yes, I am dismayed that BIKINI GIRL has had a positive impact on my six year old’s life.
Megan Joy – I DREAD THIS PERFORMANCE, from her voice to the way she shimmies (or whatever that is.) Turn Your Lights Down Low – She’s singing now which means I am cringing because OHMYGOSH THEHORRORTHATISTHISPERFORMANCE. Just focus on her pretty teeth, Beth, don’t listen to the voice or watch the crazy “dancing,” just look at her teeth.
whew. It’s over. Kara said her voice was “almost irritating” which is oh, so true.
Danny Gokey - What Hurts the Most – I really liked this performance. I thought it was a very heartfelt performance and I’ve never heard the song before. It was nice to see him do something different tonight, I can feel his passion. Love him.
Allison Iraheta - Don’t Speak – I can’t believe her voice is this amazing AND she plays the guitar AND she’s only 16. Her hair is kri-zay-zee, but so uber-hip. Are those zippers on the front of her dress or 75,000 little buttons? I love the way she is singing this song and changing it up and it went by WAY too quickly. She should be allowed to sing twice. Am I right or am I right?
The judges hate her outfit, but I have a question…doesn’t someone dress THEM?
Scott MacIntyre is coming up, I have just one question, do you have a blanket and a pillow? cuz it’s naptime, friends!
Scott MacIntyre - I Love You Just the Way You Are – His hair is very, very tall tonight. I did not like this performance, probably because this song is boring and it annoys me.
But oh crap, Kara likes it. And Paula is most proud of him. And she’s also extremely dumb. Just in case you forgot. Simon says it was his best performance. Randy said “one of the best of the night.”
Why am I so not intrigued with this guy like everyone else?
Matt Giraud – You Found Me – I like his hair tonight. I’m not sure what I think of this performance. I’m confused because it’s a good song and I think it’s fitting for him, but I feel like his vocals are just not very strong tonight, sometimes flat, sometimes shaky. But then again, sometimes he sounds great. so…I don’t know. I’m confused and now I’m glad it’s over because my head hurts from all of the confusion.
Paula is speaking and why does she have a 1 second pause between EVERY….SINGLE….WORD….SHE….SAYS….errrrrrrrrrrr…sheisdumb.
Lil Rounds - I Surrender – I’m feeling saucy tonight, I’m just going to say what you’re all thinking…baby’s got back. And I’m insanely jealous. Her voice sounds really great tonight. That makes me happy because I love Lil.
Simon said it sounded like a wedding performance. huh? wha? I do sorta wish she had sung “one” by U2. Great song that that is. Good suggestion, Simon.
Adam “sirscreamsalot” Lambert – Play That Funky Music – Look kids! It’s Amanda Overmyer! (I know many of you love him! and it’s okay to disagree with me in the comments, just don’t call me fat or a hippie or anything.) I actually really liked the song until he did that screaming crap. I can’t handle that noise. And yes, I realize I sound like an 80 year old woman, but that’s okay with me.
I’m sitting here thinking, will this guy EVER make it in the Top 40 if he wins this competition? Can you imagine listening to that screaming while driving home from a stressful day at work? I would pull the radio out of my car and throw it out the window. No lie.
Kris Allen – Ain’t No Sunshine – Well, I’m a fan of Kris’s, so I really enjoyed this performance. I thought it was pretty sexy if you ask me. Could have been better without a shirt on, but you know, it’s a family show. LOVED this performance. My favorite of the night. GO HOT GUY GO!
My favorite of the night – Kris Allen
Bottom three - Megan Joy (PLEASE.), Scott MacIntyre, Matt Giraud.
Who’s Going Home – Megan Joy (PLEASE.)
While I don’t agree with a lot of what you said, I totally agree with your bottom three and that Megan Joy must go home. I missed her performance, but saw the recap and about died. Seriously.
Thank you for doing this post! It makes me happy!
Completely agree with you about Adam. I think that song is ruined for me. Forever.
I won’t ever call you names! It’s okay you’re not an Adam fan…but I still like him. I’m a sucker for a screamy voice. Love the lead singer from Muse, love Chris Cornell.
TOTALLY agree on your top three. Megan has gots to go! Bye byeeeee!
I meant I agree on your bottom three. Clearly I need to go to bed!
I missed tonight’s show, but am pretty sure your commentary was more entertaining than the actual episode, so I don’t think I’ll bother with Tivo! Really, you had me cracking up!
Megan…gone for sure!!
When are you going to start throwing stuff at the TV?? I was so hopeful when you mentioned spilled Teddy Grahams and then…nothin’.
I could not agree with you more! I love Kris, Megan needs to go, and Adam hurts my teeth. Oh yeah, and they need to stop telling Scott he’s good just because he’s blind. He is talented and seems very nice, but he’s not American Idol good at this point.
I could totally see Adam as a top 40 artist. But I see him as a lead singer in a band. The “screamo” music is popular with all the punk rock kiddos these days…and there are a lot of them (at least where I’m from)! He reminds of bands like, Hinder, Buckcherry, Saving Abel. (Sorry, he’s probably my fave!)
Even though I like Megan Joy, I do agree that its time for her to go home. She’s not picking songs that match her voice. Just like the judges said.
And Scott BORES me! I think he’s getting a lot of sympathy votes…honestly.
HAHA – I like Adam, but I agree about the radio. I’m not sure he would be good for radio. I just look forward to seeing how he changes up a song… he is very unique and I appreciate that.
I liked Gokey and Allen and Lambert the best.
I also thought Meagan was terrible tonight. She has a very specific voice for only certain types of songs and she keeps picking the wrong songs. And her cocky attitude, when the judges are giving her good advice really bugs me. I used to like her… not so much now.
You know what I do like? How many of these Idol hopefuls are also musicians. I find that totally rad and I totally respect that.
Beth you are NOT alone in your lack of enthusiasm for Scott. Hubby and I now change the channel when he’s up. As for Danny Gokey – please let him win. I love his voice and he always has a great preformance, especially this week when he flew home to bury his grandfather on the weekend and back to preform last night. Adam and Megan – can go home any day now.
Love these posts.
OMG… please!!!! let Megan go home tonight!!!!! So.Sick.Of.Her!!!! But, um, I do love me some Adam! My faves are Lil, Allison, Adam, and Danny.
Megan just seems to get worse and worse with every performance. I must also say that Kris Allen did the very best that I remember him doing last night… His performance was awesome!
I don’t get the Scott thing either. NOT AT ALL.
Scott bores me too.
Megan is irritating.
Adam does scream, still like him, but I hear you.
I love Matt…and even though he LOVES those types of songs, I just don’t think the suit him. He did sound shakey and being the “mosh pit” was just awkward.
Lil..I think she can do so much better…and this is the FIRST time you’ve noticed her bootylicious backside?
Allison rocks, true talent…hated the outfit mostly the white shoes. Ugh.
Anoop. Love. Him. but thought that wasn’t his best performance.
Danny. *sigh* I don’t know, I am on the fence with him.
who else?
OMG. Kris, how can I forget. That was his BEST PERFORMANCE yet!
I’ve been done with Megan since the beginning. I seriously don’t know how she made it to the top 10. Ugh.
I liked Kris and Danny the best last night. OH and Allison. She’s good.
Love this– I am finding I am almost as excited to read your recap as I am to watch the show
I’ll get this one tomorrow, and already know I probably agree with you about Scott. I don’t get it either. But then I really didn’t get Norman making it as far as he did.
My recap:
Anoop: boring
Megan Joy: Wanted to gouge my ears out with chopsticks
Danny: Awesome as always
Alison: Loved it!
Scott: Love that song, loved his arrangement, don’t love him.
Matt: I actually kind of liked it. But just kind of.
Lil: Didn’t do it for me.
Adam: I kind of liked his, too, but I just don’t like him. AT ALL.
Kris: LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!! That was beautiful.
Megan Joy better leave. She was horrific!
Good for you! Is the shred really going to kick my butt that hard? I am kinda nervous now.
Hey girl…you got your wish, bye bye Megan!! You know, honestly she was doing “alright” up until a few weeks ago. I think she lost her heart and missed her baby, I can only imagine. YAY for Kris….LAVAHOT! What!!! Allison is incredible and I heart Danny alot!!
Hi! Don’t ask me how I made it to your blog tonight, but your title was catchy. I should be folding laundry, too! Also, I’m sitting here watching American Idol and they just gave us the bottom 3. You comments left me giggling. I agreed with most. I just can’t get on the bandwagon for Lil. I’m with you on the rest.
