American Idol Fan — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:42:40 +0000

Next week’s theme on American Idol (April 14, 2009) will be “Songs From The Movies“. The Top 7 American Idol finalists (Kris Allen, Anoop Desai, Matt Giraud, Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds) will perform songs of the cinema under the guidance of director Quentin Tarantino in an “Idols at the Movies” (8:00-9:01 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) theme next week.

Tune in on Wednesday, April 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) to find out if the judges use their save or if America sends another finalist home. Also, Season Three finalist Jennifer Hudson returns to the IDOL stage to perform her new single, “If This Isn’t Love,” and Miley Cyrus will sing “The Climb” from “Hannah Montana: The Movie.”

You may recall that Quentin Tarantino was a guest judge for Season 3’s Top 8 movie theme, so this should be a lot of fun.

Jillian Reynolds from American Idol Extra announced that next week’s theme will be Songs from the Movies.

American Idol 3/31/09 Top Downloads iTunes Recap LIVE Review-American Idol Fan Site

American Idol Fan — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 01:44:14 +0000

American Idol 3-31-09 Top Downloads iTunes Recap and LIVE Review of American Idol Top 9 performances March 31, 2009. The Top 9 American Idol Finalists were allowed to choose ANY song they wanted to perform, as long as the song is a “top download” on iTunes.

First up is Anoop Desai singing “Caught Up” by Usher. Idol Judge Randy Jackson didn’t feel the song was right for Anoop, but said the vocals were good. Kara DioGuardi didn’t like the performance one bit. Paula Abdul said Anoop needs to work on showmanship, and didn’t agree with the song choice either. Simon Cowell said Anoop’s performance “was a complete and utter mess” and it gave Simon a headache. We didn’t care much for Anoop’s performance either, but we’ll see what happens with the votes.

Next up is Megan Joy singing “Turn The Lights Down Low” by Bob Marley. Kara DioGuardi said the song choice was wrong, wrong, wrong and that Megan’s vocal registry “became irritating”. Paula Abdul said she didn’t like it either. Simon Cowell said the song choice was “indulgent and boring”, “no one would like that song”. Randy Jackson said the song choice and performance was “like watching paint dry”. Ouch! I couldn’t agree more with the judges negative review of Megan’s song choice and performance.

Danny Gokey then took the Idol stage singing “What Hurts The Most” by Rascal Flatts. Paula Abdul said “this is where you thrive”. Simon Cowell said “it was the best performance so far”. Randy Jackson said “tonight’s show starts right here”, but Danny needs to “keep the swagger” and it was a “very nice” performance. Kara DioGuardi said “you moved everyone in this room emotionally, and it’s hard to do”.

Allison Iraheta takes the stage singing “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt, and Allison is playing the guitar too. Randy Jackson said Allison was a “little ahead of the beat” but mostly wondered “What are you wearing?!” and didn’t like Allison’s outfit at all. Kara DioGuardi said the outfit Allison is wearing was a distraction, but the song performance was good. Paula Abdul said the delivery of the song was “masterful” and is headed toward being one of the top finalists. Simon Cowell also didn’t like the outfit Allison was wearing, saying it was like “dressing up to be a pop star” and that Allison “shouted the song”.

Scott MacIntyre took the Idol stage singing “Just The Way You Are” by Billy Joel, with just Scott and the piano, in hopes of escaping the bottom 3 this week. Kara DioGuardi said it was a “moving performance” and she “loves the new look”. Paula Abdul said she is “most proud” of Scott, and liked how the performance was “stripped down” and that he did a great job. Simon Cowell said Scott did a great job, and Randy Jackson said “it was one of the best of the night”. We were surprised by the judges reviews of Scott’s performance, and we couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Next up is Matt Giraud singing “You Found Me” by The Fray. Paula Abdul said Matt “aborted the things we love most about you”, and the song “became more of a sound-alike”, and it wasn’t a great performance. Simon said it sounded “uptight” and “uncomfortable”. Randy Jackson said it was “the wrong song for you”. Kara DioGuardi said Matt is a “talented guy and doesn’t deserve to go home”.

Lil Rounds takes the stage to sing “I Surrender” by Celine Dion. Randy Jackson said she did a great job with the song but was initially very worried about the song choice. Kara DioGuardi said “we need to see more of this”. Paula Abdul said it was a great performance, but Simon Cowell said it was like a “wedding”, old-fashioned and boring, adding that Lil needs to keep current and sing like she did early into the competition.

Adam Lambert changes things up with “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry. Paula Abdul called Adam a “true genius” with that performance. Simon Cowell said it “was original” and Adam obviously had fun. Randy Jackson said Adam is “in the star zone”. Kara DioGuardi said she “can’t wait to get to the studio to see what Adam would do next” each week.

The last performance of the night is by Kris Allen, who takes the stage to sing “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Will Young. Randy Jackson said it was “definitely one of the best performances of the night”. Kara DioGuardi said “that is artistry!” Paula Abdul said it was Kris’ best performance to date. Simon agreed with Paula saying the performance was one of the best of the night and it was Kris’ best performance so far.
