Ready for another exciting live blogging adventure as I watch American Idol. My goal tonight is to not throw anything at my TV when Megan appears. I still can’t believe she is here!
First and foremost, a thank you. Dear American Idol producers… thank you for NOT dragging this show out for 2 stinking hours!!!
I really wish my radio studio looked like Seacrest’s studio @ KIIS FM! Wow. Nice. Spacious. Comfy!
Anoop Dawg kicks off the show tonight doing Usher. I really like this guy, but I have a hard time picturing him as a rock star. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. Doesn’t change the fact that he can sing. All in all, another solid performance from Anoop. He really has great vocal control. VERDICT: Possibly hits the bottom 3, but not going home.
OK, here is Megan. So far so good. I haven’t thrown anything at the TV yet! I am achieving my goal. Oh, have you checked votefortheworst.com? It’s pushing Megan. America… for the love of bacon… PLEASE DON’T!!! It’s time for her to go home. Quality singers in this competition can no longer be sacrificed for Megan and her Sanjaya like 15 minutes of fame! VERDICT: PLEASE GO HOME!!!
Just curious… could the commercial breaks be any longer tonight???
Danny Gokey singing Rascal Flatts… heck yeah! This could be awesome.
And we’re back… had to take a break for a fire call.
I like the fact that he is doing almost a Danny Gokey unplugged. This guys vocal ability is incredible. Great range. Great control. We all know he is going to win. Maybe we can just skip the rest of the competition and give him the “title.” That was some serious praise from Simon. Wow. VERDICT: Danny wins Idol!
Allison is playing the guitar for the first time. This should be interesting. Man I like this girl. No Doubt seems like a great pick for her. A rock chick singing a song sung by a rock chick. Makes sense! In my opinion, she is the best female vocalist in the competition. The judges have a love affair with Lil, but I think Allison, at 16, can out-sing her. She definitely has an odd choice of wardrobe, but hey, it’s a singing competition, not a fashion competition. VERDICT: Wardrobe gets voted off… Allison stays!
Scott, a piano and Billy Joel. It sounds good in theory. However, I don’t know that it’s enough to get him out of the bottom 3. If he could see what they did to his hair, I wonder how he’d feel about it? Just curious. Anywho, I really do like this guy. He seems like a really cool, really down to earth kind of guy. But, this is a singing competition, and he is simply not the best singer of the ones that remain. VERDICT: I don’t think this should be his last week by any means, but I suspect he is in the bottom 3 again.
Matt Giraud is singing You Found Me by the Fray. I think this could be a great choice for him. I don’t understand why this guy was in the bottom 3 last week. He is so good! A great musician, a great singer, a great performer. He definitely doesn’t deserve to be in the bottom 3. He should be going a lot further in the competition. America needs to STOP voting for Megan and start voting for Matt! I think the judges were a little hard. VERDICT: Vote him through America… vote him through!
Next up… Lil Rounds. Celine Dion? Hmm. Not sure about this one. OK, you know what. I just don’t get it. She is not as good as the judges have been trying to get us to believe. VERDICT: Likely safe but shouldn’t be for much longer.
Adam is up next. Play That Funky Music? Oh man. I loved Adam last week, but I’m afraid I won’t feel the same this week. Yup… it’s official. I don’t feel the same way this week. Not a fan of this at all. He’s a screamer. I want to hear a singer. VERDICT: America gets him… I don’t. He’s safe.
Kris Allen gets to close out the show tonight. This guy really does get better and better every week and that is how you stay in it! He’s kind of a dark horse in the competition. I’ve had my eye on him all along, but he’s definitely moved himself to the front of the pack in my opinion. Plus, check this guy… guitar and piano! Stripped down. Unplugged. Ain’t No Sunshine. Brilliant. One of, if not the best performance of the night! VERDICT: Gotta be safe!
Predictions… based on performance and judges… Megan, Anoop and Matt. Megan HAS to go home!!!
