American Idol Michael Jackson Tribute Songs in Honor of MJ King of Pop

American Idol Fan — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:37:09 +0000

American Idol is doing a special tribute to Michael Jackson on Monday, June 29th at 8 p.m EST. in honor of the King of Pop who passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2009.

American Idol is re-airing the American Idol Season 8 Top 13 episode of Michael Jackson songs, originally aired on March 10, 2009 on FOX.

This was the first time that American Idol had done an entire evening of Michael Jackson’s music, and I’m very happy that Idol is doing this special in memory of MJ.

Gawd, I can’t believe Michael Jackson is dead. Here’s the list of songs that will be performed on Monday’s special tribute to Michael Jackson:

Lil Rounds – “The Way You Make Me Feel” VIDEO

Scott MacIntyre – “Keep the Faith” VIDEO

Danny Gokey – “Pretty Young Thing” VIDEO

Michael Sarver – “You Are Not Alone” VIDEO

Jasmine Murray – “I’ll Be There” VIDEO

Kris Allen – “Remember the Time” VIDEO

Allison Iraheta – “Give in to Me” VIDEO

Anoop Desai – “Beat It” VIDEO

Jorge Nunez – “Never Can Say Goodbye” VIDEO

Megan Joy – “Rockin’ Robin” VIDEO

Adam Lambert – “Black and White” VIDEO

Matt Giraud – “Human Nature” VIDEO

Alexis Grace – “Dirty Diana” VIDEO

The news of Michael Jackson’s death sent shock waves around the world, with Jackson fans in complete shock and disbelief that the King of Pop has died. Michael Jackson was only two years older than me, and I grew up listening to MJ’s music from the time I was little. Our family used to watch the Jackson Five variety show on television when Michael Jackson and his siblings were little boys and girls (LaToya and Janet), and we’ve never wavered in our admiration and deep respect for the genius that is Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson fans are rushing to buy up as much Michael Jackson memorabilia as possible, and I don’t blame them one bit. I already have quite a lot of Michael Jackson music and the collection just keeps getting bigger. In my heart, Michael Jackson will live on forever not only as the King of Pop, but also someone who was born into the same family religion as I did.

If you ever watched the show on television years ago describing Michael Jackson’s early childhood and the abuse he suffered that was detailed in the story, you know what I’m referring to. I choose to remember Michael Jackson as not only the King of Pop, but also someone whose early childhood was very similar to my own – except for the music career part. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.

Tune into Fox on Monday to watch the American Idol Tribute to Michael Jackson.

American Idol 4/22/09 Top 7 Disco Results Recap Video-Who Got Voted Off American Idol?

American Idol Fan — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:00:45 +0000

American Idol 4/22/09 Disco Results Show LIVE recap/review and VIDEOS.

***Keep watching this space for edits and updates of VIDEO of tonight’s American Idol Results Show to watch Who Got Voted Off American Idol!***

Last night’s American Idol 4/21/09 Disco themed performances had some good stuff and not so good stuff. “Who got voted off American Idol” predictions have Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud being in the Bottom 3 during tonight’s Idol Results show. TWO of the Top 7 American Idol Finalists are going home tonight, not just one.

Who will be voted off tonight predictions have been quite sketchy and unreliable, especially if you’ve seen recent Idol predictions from Dial Idol. There is also a ridiculous frenzy of “Vote For The Worst” nonsense that is supposedly meant to keep American Idol interesting, but Idol fans aren’t amused by those morons one bit.

Paula Abdul choreographed tonight’s American Idol group performance, and we’ll post video so you can watch American Idol’s results show online and watch who got voted off. Past American Idol Contestant David Archuleta performs tonight singing; Harry Wayne Casey from KC and the Sunshine Band perform; Thelma Houston and Freda Payne perform a medley of their hits. Are you ready?! “THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!”

45 Million Votes for Disco Week! Wow! Video clip of the Idol Group Performance preparations with choreographer Paula Abdul are shown. Paula Abdul introduces the American Idol Top 7 Group Performance song “Shake Your Body Down To The Ground” by Michael Jackson. Kris Allen dancing is just too funny, but the group dance routine (lip-synched of course) was fun and entertaining. Paula Abdul is presented a large, beautiful bouquet of flowers for her hard work teaching the Top 7 to dance. Good job Top 7!

The Ford Video Performance is shown next:

Lil Rounds is then called to stand next to Idol host Ryan Seacrest, and is the first of the two to be voted off American Idol tonight. Lil sings the song she sang last night “I’m Every Woman” and is given a standing ovation. Randy Cowell tells Lil “this is just the beginning baby, just the beginning”. Simon Cowell says Lil is a great singer and is going to miss her family screaming in the audience. Kara and Paula also comment that Lil has a singing career ahead of her.

Disco icon Freda Payne is singing “Band of Gold“. This one is definitely LIVE (singing out of key….OUCH) and Freda really needed a slip under that virtually see-through dress. Yikes! Thelma Houston takes the Idol stage singing “Don’t Leave Me This Way“. KC and The Sunshine Band Harry Wayne Casey is (of course) singing “Get Down Tonight“. After watching these performances, it gives new meaning to PRE-TAPED (and edited) performances. That was pretty painful to watch.

Anoop Desai is told he’s in the Bottom 3 and has to wait to find out if he’s been voted off American Idol. Allison Iraheta and Matt Giraud are told to stand together. Matt is safe and Allison Iraheta is told she’s in the Bottom 3 and takes a seat next to Anoop Desai. Wow! Allison in the Bottom 3?! She’s awesome!!!

David Archuleta takes the stage singing “Touch My Hand“. Very nice performance David! I will definitely download David Archuleta’s performance and get the lyrics to sing along (NOT!).

David Archuleta encourages Anoop Desai and Allison Iraheta that regardless of who is voted off tonight, there are lots of other opportunities that come for Idol contestants that don’t make it all the way to the finale.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol with Lil Rounds?

Anoop Desai got voted off and is eliminated from American Idol and Allison Iraheta is safe. Anoop now has to go through the torture of singing his final song on American Idol, “Dim All The Lights”.

Recap video is shown of Lil Rounds and Anoop’s time on American Idol, along with his nickname “Anoop Dog”. Video coming, so keep watching for it!

Your American Idol Top 5 are Safe:

Adam Lambert
Danny Gokey
Kris Allen
Allison Iraheta
Matt Giraud

Congratulations to the Top 5 American Idol Finalists who will sing next week, airing on 4/28/09. Check your local listings for more details.

American Idol 4/21/09 Top 7 DISCO Performances on American Idol

American Idol Fan — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:02:15 +0000

American Idol 4/21/09 is here finally! The American Idol Top 7 sing DISCO tonight, and we’re here LIVE to watch the Idol performances and bring you the judges comments and VIDEO of the performances. There have been various “American Idol Spoilers” circulating the net about what songs each of the Top 7 will sing tonight, but there are also many trustworthy people saying the “spoilers” are fakes, and that’s why we’re not posting any spoilers unless we have every reason to believe they’re real.

***Keep watching this space for edited updates with VIDEO links of the American Idol Top 7 singing DISCO!***

It’s DISCO night on American Idol! “This is American Idol!” Ryan Seacrest reminds us that on tomorrow night’s Results show, TWO of the Idol TOP 7 will be voted off American Idol, so remember to VOTE!

Lil Rounds is first up singing “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan. Lil Rounds is doing a pretty good job with her performance tonight, but let’s see what the judges have to say. Randy Jackson says “it sounded so wild” and “didn’t really show us what kind of vocal control you can have”. Kara DioGuardi said “I’m not sure it was worth the wait” and Lil “still didn’t tell me who you are as an artist”. Paula Abdul says Lil was “hot tonight” but “didn’t make the boiling point”. Simon Cowell says he’s glad Lil had fun but thinks this week is Lil’s “final shot”. Wow, all four Idol judges weren’t at all pleased with Lil Rounds performance. I didn’t think it was THAT bad! To VOTE for Lil Rounds, phone 1-866-IDOLS-01 or text “VOTE” to 5701.

Kris Allen is next to perform and he’s singing “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer. Kris is playing the guitar, and Kris’ performance is quite a bit slower and more mellow than the version Donna Summer did during the Disco days. Kris definitely changed things up and made the song his own, but I don’t know if I like this one personally, but that’s only because I love me some Donna Summer. Kara DioGuardi says Kris “took a big risk but it paid of big time”. Paula Abdul says the performance had a “classy” style to it, also commenting on Kris’ outfit. Simon Cowell said “that was not karaoke”, “was original and a fantastic performance”. Randy Jackson says Kris is “ready for the big time”. To VOTE for Kris Allen, phone 1-866-IDOLS-02 or text “VOTE” to 5702.

Danny Gokiey takes the Idol stage singing “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire. Paula Abdul is dancing at her seat, and I can see why.

Danny is sounding pretty darn good tonight! Overall, I liked Danny’s performance. Randy Jackson says he was a bit worried but that Danny “really turned this to work it out for you”. Kara DioGuardi says Danny is an “incredible vocalist” and his “pitch is always on”. Paula Abdul says Danny “has one of the sexiest voices” and women of all ages will love Danny Gokey. Simon Cowell says he “didn’t get any star power” and that the performance overall “was a bit awkward and clumsy”. To VOTE for Danny Gokey, phone 1-866-IDOLS-03 or text “VOTE” to 5703.

Allison Iraheta is singing “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer. Allison is really rockin’ her performance tonight! Wow Allison! I am soooo going to download Allison’s performance!!! Randy Jackson says “it was a little over-indulgent” but that Allison is “one of the best singers” in the competition but didn’t really like the arrangement. Kara DioGuardi also didn’t like the arrangement, but agrees with Randy that her vocals were excellent. Paula Abdul says Allison “hit it out of the park” and Simon Cowell says it “was a brilliant performance”. The moment American Idol is over tonight, I’m downloading Hot Stuff immediately! That was Hot Stuff Allison! To VOTE for Allison Iraheta, phone 1-866-IDOLS-04 or text “VOTE” to 5704.

Adam Lambert is next up, singing “If I Can’t Have You” by the Bee Gees. Adam Lambert is simply spectacular tonight in my opinion, but the haters will say Adam was screaming and screeching. Whatever. Randy Jackson says “you are ready right now”, saying “he is a Hot One tonight America!” Kara DioGuardi says the way Adam connects with the audience is inspiring, and says the performance was spectacular. Paula Abdul appears choked up, with lips quivering and says “you will be in the finals”. Simon Cowell says “the vocals were immaculate”. Simon Cowell is clapping his hands for Adam’s performance! I am soooo downloading Adam’s performance tonight! That was HOT! To VOTE for Adam Lambert, phone 1-866-IDOLS-05 or text “VOTE” to 5705.

Next up is Matt Giraud singing “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees. I really like Matt Giraud and I enjoy listening to Matt sing, but I don’t care much when he attempts to sing too high for his vocal range ability, as he does in this performance. Randy Jackson didn’t like the song choice, didn’t like the arrangement but says “you can really sing dude”. Kara says the “vocals were pretty good”, a good/solid performance. Paula Abdul says after tonight’s performance, Matt “is staying”. Simon Cowell says the performance came across as “desperate”, with no originality and “not a huge fan of that one”. Uh-Oh Matt?! To VOTE for Matt Giraud, phone 1-866-IDOLS-06 or text “VOTE” to 5706.

Last to sing tonight is Anoop Desai singing “Dim All The Lights” by Donna Summer. Randy Jackson says that Anoop can sing too “nice, baby nice”. Kara DioGuardi says the song sounded like it could have been played on the radio. Paula says Anoop needs to smile more and enjoyed the uptempo part. Simon Cowell says “it was mediocre at best”, a “horrible version of that song”, “genuinely your worst performance”. Uh Oh Anoop! I didn’t like that one at all! To VOTE for Anoop Desai, phone 1-866-IDOLS-07 or text “VOTE” to 5707.

Bottom 3 Predictions:

Lil Rounds
Matt Giraud
Anoop Desai

What TWO will be voted off tomorrow night? My prediction of who will be voted off American Idol on the results show tomorrow night are Anoop and Lil. What do you think?

American Idol 4/15/09 Top 7 Idol Results Show-Who Got Voted Off American Idol

American Idol Fan — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:03:33 +0000

This is American Idol 4/15/09! We’re LIVE with the American Idol Top 7 Results Show to see Who got voted off American Idol tonight?! Last night on American Idol the Top 7 Finalists sang songs of the cinema, and if the “Dial Idol” predictions are correct of who will be voted off American Idol, there could be a major upset on tonight’s results show! Miley Cyrus (pre-taped) is scheduled to perform her new song “Climb” tonight, and GRAMMY award winner Jennifer Hudson (American Idol Season 3 Finalist) will be performing “If This Isn’t Love” on the American Idol Results Show tonight!

***Keep watching this space for VIDEO links of tonight’s results show performances, so you can watch the American Idol results show videos in case you missed it or just want to watch the performances again.*** Who Got Voted Off American Idol? Who is Safe to continue on to perform in next week’s American Idol Disco theme, making up your Top 6 American Idol Finalists?! We’re about to find out! “This is American Idol!”

The Results Are In!!! Will the Idol judges use their veto “save” vote tonight, and save the Idol contestant with the lowest number of votes from elimination?!

American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, introduces the Top 7 to the stage. “Will your favorite be eliminated tonight”? says Ryan. All four judges are introduced as usual.

Next is the American Idol Ford Video performance, showing the Top 7 on magazine covers singing “Freeze Frame“.

The Top 7 Idol Finalists are singing the group performance song “Maniac“. Sounding really good! Danny Gokey has the glasses back on tonight, and each of the finalists are doing a great job singing Maniac! Hitting the high notes perfectly and keeping up a great rhythm throughout the group performance. Great job!

Quentin Tarrantino was last night’s ‘mentor’ for the Top 7, and Ryan talks to the finalists about that and shows video of when the finalists went to the Movie Premiere of “17 Again”, coming out this Friday. It’s an interesting video clip, but seems to be taking up too much time tonight. Let’s get to the results already! Zac Efron is in the audience too.

Jennifer Hudson takes the stage singing “If This Isn’t Love” and OH MY GOD Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer! What a beautiful song, and what vocal pipes Jennifer has on her! Great job Jennifer!

I am soooo going to download If This Isn’t Love!!! Great job Jennifer! Amazing! Recently engaged to get married, Ryan Seacrest jokingly tries to get Jennifer to say the wedding date of her upcoming nuptials, but of course Jennifer isn’t going to do that for privacy reasons.

Bottom Three American Idol Performers:

Anoop Desai – Nooo! He did a good job last night!
Lil Rounds – Predictable for sure!
Matt Giraud – Sad but predictable

Anoop Desai was then told he could go sit on the couch with the other finalists, so Anoop is Safe!

Matt Giraud and Lil Round in the Bottom 2 Video!

Miley Cyrus is singing her new song “Climb” in a pre-taped Idol performance. Miley Cyrus is definitely coming into her own as she gets older and develops stronger vocals. She sounds really good. I’m not liking her hairstyle tonight at all…, her hair is hanging in her eyes and looking very messy! What’s up with the hair Miley?! All in all, Miley’s performance was spectacular, minus the crazy wild hair.

So, who got voted off American Idol tonight? ….. With over 36 million votes……Matt Giraud had the lowest number of votes and was voted off from American Idol Season 8 tonight. Will the Judges use their veto SAVE vote to save Matt? OH MY GOD! Matt is having to endure that horrible feeling of singing “To Really Love a Woman” one more time in hopes of being saved tonight. I hate this part! It’s like begging for your life!

Simon Cowell says Matt wasn’t as good tonight as he was last night.Â Whooohooooo! Matt Giraud was SAVED BY THE JUDGES TONIGHT ON AMERICAN IDOL! Wow!!! NO ONE GOES HOME TONIGHT!!!!

Simon Cowell says next week TWO CONTESTANTS WILL BE VOTED OFF!!! Oh NOOO!

Breakdown list of the guys and girls who are safe:

Congratulations to the Top 7 American Idol Finalists who will sing Disco songs next week, airing on 4/22/09. Check your local listings for more details.

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

American Idol Fan — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:08:36 +0000

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.

What did you think of all the American Idol Top 7 performances tonight? Who will be in the Bottom 3 during tomorrow night’s Results show? Who should be voted off American Idol on 4/15/09?

American Idol Poll – American Idol Voting Polls, Predictions Top 3 Idol Season 8

American Idol Fan — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:33:54 +0000

I love American Idol Polls, don’t you? We introduced an American Idol voting poll where you can vote for your favorite American Idol season 8 contestant, and the results of the poll so far show Adam Lambert is in the top spot to be the next American Idol.

The New York Post recently reported all-too-obvious predictions that the odds of Adam Lambert winning this season’s Idol competition and becoming the next American Idol have become so strong that those placing bets will only receive 80 cents on every dollar placed in Adam’s direction.

“The talent show has seen some heavy favorites in the past but nothing quite like Lambert — who is running away from the field with seven other performers still in the running. Lambert has been out of the top spot only once so far in competition — when he stumbled during country music week — and briefly gave the betting lead to Danny Gokey. Gokey this week is holding steady as the second pick, with most bookmakers listing him at 5-to-2. Kris Allen is moving up among “Idol” bettors and is now the show’s No. 3 pick at around 7-to-1. Allison Iraheta had been the third pick for several weeks, but — after a lackluster performance last week — fell to the middle of the pack.”

American Idol 2009 is slowly but surely getting closer to deciding who will be the next American Idol, and even though the NYP article was posted prior to the American Idol Top 8 songs from the year you were born theme with Scott McIntyre being voted off, polls and vote results continue to show Adam Lambert is the one to beat in this competition.

Next week’s American Idol 4/14/09 theme, songs from the cinema/songs from the movies, should be very interesting and entertaining, as the Top 7 finalists perform songs of the cinema under the guidance of director Quentin Tarantino. Rest assured that the moment we learn of any American Idol Spoiler rumors of what songs the Idol contestant will sing, we’ll let you know right away.

American Idol predictions or speculation about which of the American Idol Top 7 will last long enough in the competition to be the Top 5 and Top 3 finalists are no where to be found online. Let’s change that, shall we?

Let’s create our own “American Idol Spoiler” of who you think/hope will be in the Top 5 and Top 3 on American Idol, based on current standings and Idol performances thus far. The American Idol Top 7 finalists are as follows, in no particular order:

Danny Gokey
Kris Allen
Allison Iraheta
Adam Lambert
Lil Rounds
Matt Giraud
Anoop Desai

In the comments below, make your American Idol predictions of who will be in the Top 5 and also the Top 3 on American Idol this season. My prediction of the Top 5 finalists are: Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Matt Giraud. My prediction of who will be in the Top 3 are: Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta.

What do you think? Who gets your vote for the Top 5 and Top 3 on American Idol?

American Idol 3/17/09 Season 8 Recap – American Idol Fan Site

American Idol Fan — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:00:27 +0000

American Idol 3/17/09 was the night for a country music theme, with country music star Randy Travis serving as mentor.

The first American Idol to perform was Michael Sarver, who sang Garth Brook’s “Ain’t Goin Down Til The Sun Comes Up“. The judges weren’t very impressed. Simon Cowell hated it and said he couldn’t understand a single word Michael was singing. Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul said it was “fun” but they missed hearing Michael’s vocal range, and Paula said country music was the genre that suits Michael.

Next up was Allison Iraheta singing “Blame It On Your Heart” by Patty Loveless. All four judges agreed Allison’s performance was a good one. Kara DioGuardi gave Allison props for making the song her own. Paula said it was a rock-solid performance. Randy Jackson said the song performance was “dope”. Dear ol’ Simon Cowell didn’t feel the performance was that great, saying it was a bit out of tune at times, but overall felt she did a decent job.

Next was Kris Allen, who sang “To Make You Feel My Love” by Garth Brooks. The judges were all surprisingly impressed with the performance, even without the guitar. Paula said she was “pleasantly surprised”. Simon said Kris did a “terrific” job and called Kris a “tender dog.”

Lil Rounds was next with her version of Martina McBride’s “Independence Day“. Lil Rounds is still growing on me, but her performance and song choice just didn’t seem right, but I can’t put my finger on why. Is it just me or did Lil Rounds sound off-key some of the time? Randy said it was an ambitious song choice but it didn’t feel comfortable to him. Paula must have missed the vocals I heard because Paula thought Lil Rounds was right on target with the performance. Simon Cowell said she sounded like a girl trying to sing a song at a wedding that she didn’t like. Ouch.

Next up was American Idol Fan Site favorite Adam Lambert singing “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash. I was a tad nervous when Adam first started singing Ring of Fire, because he’s rather unpredictable and no one is ever quite sure what Adam is going to do. Paula and Kara DioGuardi liked it and Kara said it was “strangely entertaining”. Simon said “What the hell was that?!” and called the performance “indulgent rubbish”. Randy equated Adam’s performance as being like Nine Inch Nails doing a country song, but he said it was “fresh” and current. Strange but good is the way I would it, and the Adam Lambert Ring of Fire Video has been a hot search topic ever since.

Scott MacIntyre sang “Wild Angels” by Martina McBride, at the piano. It was okay…I guess. It started off pretty boring, but towards the end his voice soared. The judges agreed that Scott chooses songs that are too safe, just like the songs Scott has performed over the last couple of weeks, and I have to agree. Paula Abdul said Scott should ditch the piano. Simon said Paula’s comment was disrespectful and told Scott he’s choosing songs that aren’t right for him, are not good enough to stay in the competition. Yeah, I’d have to agree with Simon on that one.

Next was Alexis Grace, who did an okay job singing Dolly Parton’s song “Jolene“. I’m used to hearing her strong vocals, but this performance was rather drab and boring. Trying to “make a song your own” is one thing, but this attempt fell flat, and the judges negative feedback proved they agreed. Randy said the song choice was a good one but the performance itself was not her best. Kara heard it the same way I did and said it was a little flat. Paula, oh Paula, said she liked it and Simon said it was okay…

Recent widower Danny Gokey sang “Jesus Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood. I sat on the edge of my seat waiting to see how Danny would do performing this song, but he got through it alright and overall did a pretty decent job. Paula and Simon like the performance, but Simon hated what Danny was wearing. Kara and Randy heard some pitch problems during the first half, but the choruses were great.

Anoop Desai performed Willie Nelson’s “Always On My Mind” and the judges were unanimous with their praise, proclaiming Anoop as the best performance of the night. Simon said he went from Zero to Hero with that performance and arrangement. Anoop is also growing on me, and I must agree that he did a great job performing this song, but I just think there are better singers in this competition. We’ll just have to wait and see how it goes with Anoop.

Surprisingly enough, Megan Joy Corkrey did a great job singing Patsy Cline’s “Walkin After Midnight“. Just like Randy Jackson, I also thought the performance would be a train wreck, but we were both impressed. Kara and Paula commented on how Megan sang while having the flu, adding that the performance was great whether Megan had the flu or not. Jokingly, Simon Cowell said she should have the flu every week.

The last performance of the night was Matt Giraud, who sang “So Small” by Carrie Underwood with good results. Kara DioGuardi felt the performance was amazing and said “there ain’t nothin’ small about you”. Randy said he feels that Matt’s performance was his personal favorite of the night. Simon said that Matt hasn’t yet gotten the credit he deserves for his vocals and that he outsang Danny Gokey.

What was your favorite performance of the night on American Idol? Who do you think will be in the bottom two?
