American Idol 5/5/09 Top 4 ROCK Theme – American Idol Recap, Review, Performances

American Idol 5-5-09 ROCK night is here! We’re LIVE with American Idol, briefly wondering if the show would go on after hearing about the accident involving American Idol Stage Manager Debbie Williams! Debbie Williams fell down the 20 foot staircase, and a glass tower started breaking, causing an evacuation of the auditorium! But, here is Ryan Seacrest taking the Idol stage saying THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!!

Ryan explains how the glass tower “started popping” and started to collapse. Ryan says The Show Must Go On! The Idol judges are introduced and then the Top 4 Finalists are brought onto the stage. Slash is mentor for the Top 4 this week, well known as lead guitarist for Guns n Roses and Velvet Revolver, a “true rock icon”.

Adam Lambert is up first singing Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Adam is ROCKIN’ Tonight!!! Adam Lambert is a ROCK STAR! Randy Jackson says forget about all that crap about theatrical performances, this was HOT! Kara loved Adam’s performance, saying Adam is a “Rock God”. Paula was quick and to the point, loved it 100%. Simon Cowell says Adam’s performance tonight was his favorite performance by Adam! ***Phone numbers to VOTE for Adam Lambert, phone 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 5705. VIDEO

Allison Iraheta is next up singing Cry Baby by Janis Joplin! Allison has the perfect vocal ability to do Janis Joplin right, and she rocked out that song! Personally, I would have liked for Allison Iraheta to sing Piece Of My Heart by Janis Joplin, but she opted for Cry Baby. Randy Jackson said it was okay but thought the repetitive “cry baby, cry baby” lyrics was too much. Kara also felt Janis Joplin was a great rock performer to emulate, but wasn’t impressed with the performance. Simon Cowell says Allison needs to just “beg” to make it through the results show tomorrow night and not be voted off. Oh Simon….Allison did a great job! Loved the hairdo she had professionally done too! Allison ROCKED it tonight! ***Phone Numbers to VOTE for Allison Iraheta, phone 1-866-IDOLS-02 or 5706. VIDEO

The first DUET performance by Kris Allen and Danny Gokey singing “Renegade” by Styx. Randy Jackson liked the harmonies but didn’t like the singing individually. Kara said some parts were pitchy, but together as a duet it was “united and strong”. Paula said it was “powerful and compelling”. Simon Cowell says Danny Gokey was better than Kris. Ouch, but true. Kris’ voice sounded strained, sounding like he was struggling to reach the high notes. It was obvious, but all in all, the duet was just alright. Fortunately, no phone numbers are being given to Vote for the duet performances, because the duet’s would be in the bottom 2 tomorrow night. VIDEO

Next to sing is Kris Allen performing “Come Together” by The Beatles, guitar-ready. Randy Jackson recognizes that Kris isn’t “really rock”, liked the vocals but especially liked what Kris was “doing on the guitar”. Kara says Kris is the “softer side of rock” but “not a great performance, trying too hard”. Paula says doing a Beatles song was “risky” for this week, needs a “little more energy” but deserves to be on the Idol stage. Simon didn’t like it that much, saying the performance was “like eating ice for lunch, leaving you nothing afterwards”. Simon also said that no one was going to do better than Adam. ***Phone Numbers to VOTE for Kris Allen, phone 1-866-IDOLS-07 or 5703. VIDEO

Danny Gokey is up with “Dream On” by Aerosmith. Ummm Danny, that was painful to listen to and watch. Randy Jackson says this isn’t Danny’s genre and “was alright for me”, given an “A+ for effort”. Kara says Danny “took it too far” with edge, complimented Danny on being bold and going for it, but… Paula said she didn’t feel this was the right song for Danny to sing, wasn’t her favorite choice of songs at all. Simon says the “last night was like watching a horror movie” with the screaming at the end, and was “over the top”, but still thinks Danny will be safe tomorrow night. ***Phone numbers to VOTE for Danny Gokey, phone 1-866-IDOLS-04 or 5708. VIDEO

The final DUET performance is between Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert singing “Slow Ride” by Foghat. Perfect combination of voices that ROCK the house!!! Randy Jackson says Adam and Allison should do a duet on their album. Kara says they are rock stars, and she loved the performance. Paula agrees they should do a duet on an album. Simon Cowell says “in the battle of the duets, you win tonight”. Simon also says that singing with Adam may have saved Allison this week from elimination. Wow!!! VIDEO

What do you think of the Top 4 American Idol finalist performances tonight? Who will get your vote? Who will be voted off American Idol tomorrow night? Make your predictions in the comments below. I’m going to predict America will vote off Danny Gokey or Kris Allen, but most likely Danny Gokey. That screaming was painful! Thank you MJ at mjsbigblog for the quality videos!

THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!!

Over 47 Million Votes came in last night! Wow!!!

Idol host Ryan Seacrest asks Simon Cowell what he thought of last night’s Rat Pack performances and Simon says “everyone was good”. Taylor Hicks, Natalie Cole and Idol Mentor Jamie Foxx will perform tonight.

Here comes the Ford Commercial

Top 5 Group performance “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and “I Got Rhythm”. It was okay; the group performances are always pre-taped and lack the WOW factor of singing/performing LIVE.

A few Idol Top 5 Birthdays were celebrated in one weekend. Video of the Top 5 in the kitchen “making a cake” but turns into a food fight.

The kitchen was a huge mess, with the food fight supposedly being started by Danny Gokey. Danny was handed a “birthday present” which was a $6000.00 bill to clean up the mess.

Matt Giraud is asked to stand on the right side of the stage. Danny Gokey is asked to head to the left side of the stage. Allison Iraheta is asked to stand next to Danny on the left side of the stage. Kris Allen is asked to stand next to Matt Giraud. UH OH Kris! Adam Lambert is asked which of the two groups of contestants he thinks he belongs in. Adam Lambert initially takes the side of the stage with Allison and Danny, but Ryan Seacrest moves Adam Lambert into the group with Matt and Kris.

The Bottom 3!

Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert!!!! Idol fans on Twitter are freaking out at the news that Adam Lambert is in the BOTTOM 3! Quite an UPSET on American Idol tonight! No one would have predicted that Adam Lambert would EVER find himself in the Bottom list!

Natalie Cole is singing “Something’s Gotta Give“. Natalie Cole’s career spans almost 4 decades. Rumor being discussed on Twitter is that Natalie Cole is “sick” and needs a kidney. She definitely looks very very thin.

Taylor Hicks is singing “Seven Mile Breakdown” from his album “The Distance”. Taylor Hicks has lost a few pounds, and his hair is cut much shorter than before.

Joining Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey in the TOP 4 is KRIS ALLEN!!!! That means Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud are the Bottom 2 tonight! WOW!

Idol “mentor” Jamie Foxx takes the stage singing the #1 song in America, “Blame It On The Alcohol“. THAT’S the #1 song in America right now? WHY? Yawn….

Ryan Seacrest is now asking Jamie about working with the Idol contestants and says the Top 5 are all “artists” and will have a great career regardless of who wins American Idol Season 8.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol tonight?

After 47 million votes, the highest of the season, ADAM LAMBERT- is SAFE!

Matt Giraud was voted off American Idol tonight!

Your Top 4 American Idol Finalists:
