American Idol 4/14/09 Top 7 Songs Of The Cinema American Idol

American Idol 4/14/09 has finally arrived! Your American Idol Top 7 Theme tonight is Idols At The Movies/Songs of The Cinema, and we’re LIVE with our review/recap of each American Idol performance and judges comments. Who will be voted off American Idol tomorrow night during the 4/15/09 American Idol Results Show? We’re about to find out!

***We’ll be editing this post after American Idol ends tonight, with links to videos for all you American Idol fans to watch your favorite Idol performances, so stay tuned!***

Quentin Tarrantino is tonight’s American Idol mentor, which should make tonight’s Top 7 performances very interesting. “This is American Idol”, says Idol host Ryan Seacrest. Quentin Tarrantino was an Idol judge during Season 3, and he holds no punches in his reviews of Idol performances.

Due to the complaints American Idol and FOX received because Idol ran late last week, only two Idol judges will speak to comment and critique each of the American Idol performances tonight. That should (hopefully) keep things rolling!

First to sing is Allison Iraheta singing “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith. Allison is “one talented young lady”, and that’s exactly what Paula Abdul says too. Simon Cowell says Allison is “the girls only hope in this competition” and “we may see Allison all the way to end of the competition”. Allison should be very proud of her accomplishments thus far, and I can’t help but agree that Allison deserves to be in the Top 3 at this point in the competition, unless Allison really screws up with song choices or performances in coming weeks. To vote for Allison: 1-866-Idols-01 or Text 5701

Next to sing Anoop Desai singing “Everything I Do“, by Bryan Adams. Wow! Anoop is doing a great job with “Everything I Do”! Smooth and beautiful! This has got to be one of Anoop’s BEST performances so far! Randy Jackson says he was initially worried about Anoop’s song choice but said “it was in tune, you did a really good job man!” Kara DioGuardi “it was probably one his best performances” and that Anoop “did a good job”. Anoop should also be very proud of his performance tonight, and I would definitely download his performance. It’s goody. To vote for Anoop: 1-866-Idols-02 or Text 5702

Adam Lambert is singing “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf. The way Adam Lambert hits those high notes is amazing! Paula Abdul is on her feet, and the audience is screaming! Paula said “you dare to dance in the path of greatness”. Wow! Simon jokingly says Adam needs to “learn to express himself a little more”. Ha! Simon doesn’t think Adam’s performance “will be as popular as last week” (Mad World), but Simon “liked it”. I don’t know…, I think Adam Lambert fans will love this performance tonight and will download it immediately after the show! To vote for Adam: 1-866-Idols-03 or Text 5703

Matt Giraud is singing “To Really Love a Woman” by Bryan Adams. Matt’s at the piano tonight, and it started out alright but it became quite pitchy. Randy Jackson agrees saying “not one of your best performances man”. Kara DioGuardi wasn’t very impressed with Matt’s performance either. Matt tries real hard and that’s obvious in all of his performances, but tonight’s performance was definitely not his best. I really like Matt Giraud and I believe he has a singing career coming his way, but tonight was not his best. To vote for Matt: 1-866-Idols-04 or Text 5704

Danny Gokey is up next to sing “Endless Love” by Diana Ross. Danny Gokey is wearing contacts tonight, not the glasses! I was a bit nervous about this song choice, but halfway through the song it really started sounding good! Good for Danny! Paula feels the same way about initially being nervous about the song choice, but all in all felt that Danny did a good job. Simon Cowell said he was “disappointed” with the performance, saying it obviously had a lot of meaning to Danny personally. To vote for Danny: 1-866-Idols-05 or Text 5705

Kris Allen is up next to sing “Falling Slowly” from the movie “Once”. Hmm, I don’t know what American Idol fans will think about this one. Slow, smooth, pitchy in places, no WOW factor. Randy Jackson says Kris was “pitchy” throughout, and didn’t like Kris’ performance at all. Kara DioGuardi definitely liked the performance, saying it was one “of the best” performances of the night. Kris Allen fans will probably like tonight’s performance, but as much as I enjoy listening and watching Kris sing, it’s time for Kris to bring on the WOW factor to stay in the competition. To vote for Kris: 1-866-Idols-06 or Text 5706

Last to sing tonight is Lil Rounds with “The Rose” by Bette Midler. I don’t know about this performance, and I’m afraid Lil will find herself not only in the Bottom 3 but also voted off tomorrow night. Lil put her own spin to the song and did what she could to make it her own with a R&B spin. Paula didn’t have much to say about the actual performance itself, but simply commented on how Lil has managed to stay in the competition this far. Simon wasn’t at all impressed with Lil’s performance tonight, and makes very clear that Lil’s days on the show are likely numbered. To vote for Lil: 1-866-Idols-07 or Text 5707

Stay tuned as we edit this post to provide the links to all of the Idol performances as they come in, so you can watch American Idol performances again.
