American Idol 4/8/09 Idol Top 8 Results-Who Got Voted Off American Idol

American Idol Fan — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:02:44 +0000

4/8/09-We’re posting LIVE the American Idol Top 8 Results show, as American Idol fans find out who got voted off American Idol tonight, after last night’s Idol theme Songs From The Year You Were Born. American Idol fans…err..or should I say Adam Lambert fans, were royally pissed off when Idol was cut short and many were unable to watch Adam Lambert sing Mad World. Fortunately for Adam Lambert fans, we made sure to provide the video link so Lambert fans can watch Adam sing Tears For Fears “Mad World”, and Idol fans can watch all of the Top 8 Idol performances online as many times as they want. Tonight’s American Idol results show brings guest performances by 2006 American Idol Finalist Kellie Pickler, as she returns to the Idol stage to sing her latest single Best Days of Your Life.

Rapper Flo-rida will sing his record-breaking #1 hit single “Right Round” to promote the rapper’s new album “R.O.O.T.S”, with estimates saying Flo-rida’s album has already sold over 500,000 copies in its first week. Who gets voted off American Idol tonight? Predictions around the net indicate that Scott McIntyre is in serious trouble of elimination tonight, but Lil Rounds and Kris Allen are also predicted to be in the Bottom 3, alongside Scott. Who got voted off American Idol is what we’re about to find out! Are you ready to find out who are in the Bottom 3 and who finally (?) got voted off American Idol? Here we go! “This is American Idol”!

***As soon as performance videos come available, we’ll edit this post to include links to watch the performances, so stay tuned.*** As usual, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest introduces the 4 Idol judges. Randy Jackson expresses his disappointment over this week’s performances and song choices. Kara says some of the early front runners have sort of lost their edge and need to step up and choose better songs and make the songs their own. Paula Abdul agreed that some of the Idol performers haven’t done as well as previous weeks.

Wow! Frankie Avalon surprises the judges and audience to sing “Venus” from the year 1959. What a nice surprise that was! Frankie Avalon is a true music ICON! Okay, so I’m aging myself here.

The Top 8 American Idol Finalists sing their group performance Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. These group performances are really lame, and I bet we all wish American Idol would stop these lip-sync crappy performances. The group performance started out alright, but then it went downhill from there, until the very end when Adam Lambert hit a nice high note with smooth precision.

The American Idol Ford Video is shown next. All the finalists are “dressed up” and wearing crazy makeup; “very theatrical” as Adam Lambert said. Danny Gokey in a Top Hat! Ha! The Ford video isn’t my favorite part of American Idol, but the contestants at least appear to enjoy doing the videos.

The Results Are In!

Bottom Three American Idol Performers:

Anoop Desai (I’m not too surprised)

Scott MacIntyre (No surprise at all!)

Lil Rounds (No surprise there either!)

Flo-rida takes the Idol stage for the very first time singing his new single Right Round. Flo-rida is sure rocking this song, and the dance routines/choreography looks hot! Flo-rida comes with lots of energy and the whole performance is fabulous! Colored steamers are falling all over the stage as the Flo-rida finishes the song. What a great performance that was! “Flo” explains to Ryan Seacrest the meaning of the ‘R.O.O.T.S’ album as being “Routes Of Overcoming The Struggle”.

Kellie Pickler takes the stage singing “The Best Days Of Your Life” from her self-titled album. Was it just me or did Kellie sound a bit pitchy singing this song? I like the song and I like Kellie, but I think if she were performing on American Idol, I don’t think the judges would be too kind in the critiques. Maybe it was hard for her to sing perfectly while moving about the stage and going over to sit on Simon’s lap, but regardless of the problems I heard with Kellie’s performance, I still like Kellie Pickler.

Out of the three Idol contestants that find themselves in the Bottom 3 this week, Simon Cowell says there is really only 1 contestant the judges would even consider using their “save veto vote” for.

Scott McIntyre was voted off and eliminated from American Idol Season 8 tonight, and I don’t think most of us are surprised. Scott MacIntyre now must sing in front of the judges to see if the veto vote will be used to save him. It just seems wrong for the person with the lowest Idol votes to have to sing in hopes of being saved from elimination! Even though I haven’t been impressed with Scott’s singing (screeching) abilities, he does play a mean piano! Simon Cowell says two judges say Scott should go home and two judges say Scott should stay. What torture for Scott to stand there like that waiting to see what the verdict will be. Simon says he “likes Scott but it’s the end of the competition” on American Idol for Scott MacIntyre. Scott MacIntyre got voted off American Idol tonight.

Breakdown list of the guys and girls who are safe:

Danny Gokey is Safe

Lil Rounds is Safe

Anoop Desai is Safe

Matt Giraud is Safe

Kris Allen is Safe

Allison Iraheta is Safe

Adam Lambert is Safe

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.

Jennifer Hudson to Perform on American Idol

American Idol Fan — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 00:39:57 +0000

Jennifer Hudson to perform on American Idol? Yes, Jennifer Hudson will be taping a performance on Wednesday, March 25th in front of the American Idol studio audience after the live broadcast has ended.

Grammy and Oscar award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson, 27, will perform on American Idol this week, although FOX has not confirmed the performance. Jennifer’s Idol performance will be aired at a later date.

Past American Idol finalist, Jennifer Hudson, will most likely perform a song from her self-titled debut CD, which won the Grammy for best R&B album in February, but there is yet no word on what song Jennifer Hudson will perform.

The ticket voucher for the show says “the second taping of Wednesday is the LIVE performance show with special performances by Jennifer Hudson and Ruben Studdard.”

Wednesday’s Idol performance will be Hudson’s first time on the American Idol stage following the murders of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew. Hudson’s Grammy performance of “You Pulled Me Through” was simply astounding, as was Hudson’s Super Bowl performance singing the National Anthem.

Jennifer Hudson, a finalist on American Idol’s third season, will begin her first national tour on March 31, along with Robin Thicke.

Jennifer Hudson will also appear on Thursday’s (March 26) Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform her single, “If This Isn’t Love” LIVE, and I can’t help but wonder if the song Jennifer Hudson will perform on American Idol isn’t “If This Isn’t Love” too. We’ll just have to wait and see.
