American Idol 5/6/09 Top 4 Rock and Roll Theme-Who Got Voted Off American Idol

American Idol Fan — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:02:56 +0000

American Idol May 6, 2009 is here! We’re LIVE for tonight’s American Idol Top 4 Rock theme elimination vote. American Idol starts tonight at 9 P.M. EST, when we find out Who Got Voted Off American Idol tonight!

THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!! Over 64 million votes were registered for last night’s ROCK performances. WOW! Ryan introduces the Idol judges. “No Doubt is here” and Daughtry performs, as does Paula Abdul.

Next is the Ford Video Performance of Move Along. VIDEO

Here comes SLASH with the Top 4 Finalists singing “Schools Out” by Alice Cooper. They’re ROCKIN’ tonight! Yeah baby! Slash sure plays a mean guitar, and the Top 4 are doing a great job, with Adam Lambert hitting the high notes with spectacular precision. VIDEO

Ryan speaks with Slash briefly about an upcoming album but gets no details, and now we’re at a commercial. The American Idol LIVE summer tour tickets go on sale this Saturday, says Ryan.

Ryan asks the Top 4 “what’s the vibe” on Wednesday nights? Kris Allen says it’s surreal to sing before millions of people, but Simon Cowell tells Kris “we don’t want humble anymore” but that Kris should feel like he deserves to be on American Idol. Adam Lambert says he’s been having a blast, and loved his outfit last night. Danny Gokey says he was laughing the whole night after watching the playback video, and referred to the ending of his Dream On song as a “horror scream”. Yeah it was! Allison says she felt the need to speak up for herself about her song choice for last night when Simon criticized her. VIDEO

Paula Abdul is up singing (lip-synching) I’m Just Here For The Music. Paula’s performance was pre-taped last night, as was No Doubt’s performance. The only LIVE performance tonight is by Chris Daughtry. Paula is wearing a short, green and black outfit, moving around the stage with her backup dancers during her performance. The song is uptempo/techno sounding and actually sounds pretty good, but I may have to listen to it a few times to get hooked on it enough to download it. VIDEO

Commercial again.

Paula Abdul did a quick clothes change and Ryan asks Paula “Why now” about why perform her song on American Idol. She says Idol is the greatest place to perform her new single.

No Doubt is on stage singing I’m Just A Girl. No Doubt is actually doing push-ups on the stage while singing. Umm, why? No Doubt (Gwen Stafani) is a very popular performer, but I don’t get the fascination, sorry. VIDEO

Green bra underneath a sheer white tank top – that’s called an outfit? Tacky, tacky. Commercial break again.

The Results Are In! Video clips of previous hometown visits are shown, since hometown visits for the Top 4 are on the line tonight. The Top 4 Finalists take the stage, and the lights are dimmed. Here we go. VIDEO

Ryan reminds each of the finalists of the judges comments about their performances last night. “The first person in the Top 3 and headed home for a parade is KRIS ALLEN!!! Wow!!! Kris Allen is SAFE!!! Commercial break again. Twitter is going wild!!!

Video is shown of Chris Daughtry being voted off American Idol Season 6, but that was “just the beginning” of Daughtry’s amazing career. Chris Daughtry is singing the debut new single performance of No Surprise on American Idol. Rock it Chris! VIDEO

Love me some Daughtry… Definitely have to dig up the Lyrics to No Surprise right after American Idol ends tonight. The song and performance is great! Chris Daughtry tells Ryan Seacrest that his elimination from American Idol felt like the “world was coming to an end, but I got over it 30 seconds later”. No kidding – Chris Daughtry ROCKS!!! Commercial again.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol?? The second person who is in the Top 3 (in random order) and headed to their hometown is ADAM LAMBERT!!!! Adam Lambert is SAFE!!!

Danny Gokey is SAFE and Allison Iraheta got voted off American Idol! Definitely didn’t see that one coming! Predictions had Danny Gokey or Kris Allen going home tonight! Wow. Shocker!!! MAJOR UPSET! Just 17 years old, Allison Iraheta once again rocks out to Janis Joplin’s Cry Baby. Allison Iraheta fans have been desperately wanting to hear Allison sing Piece Of My Heart by Janis Joplin, but it’s not going to happen on American Idol. VIDEO

The Top 3 American Idol Theme Next Week – Top 3 Finalists (Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey) take on Judges Choice and their Personal Pick. TWO Songs for each next week. Hometown visits happen on Friday next week, and by then we’ll know the Judges Choices.

What do you think? Did America get it right? Should Allison Iraheta have been voted off American Idol? Who did you think/hope would get kicked off Idol tonight?

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 4/15/09 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. 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:

Megan Joy Won’t Take Back Simon Cowell Insult

American Idol Fan — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:00:59 +0000

Former American Idol contestant, Megan Joy, will appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday’s April 13 Ellen show and says she “wouldn’t take back” her insult comment to Idol judge Simon Cowell. In the pre-taped episode on Ellen, Megan Joy says she “doesn’t care” that Simon didn’t like her song or her performance and has no regrets.

Things got pretty heated between Megan Joy and Simon Cowell following Megan’s performance of Bob Marley’s “Turn The Lights Down Low”, with Simon Cowell calling her performance “indulgent, boring and monotonous”. Ouch! That had to hurt! On Wednesday’s American Idol Top Downloads Results Show, Ryan Seacrest asked Megan what she thought of Simon’s comments, Megan said, “I love you Simon, but I really don’t care”.

Widely viewed as an insult, US Magazine reports that Megan Joy had no idea that her comment would be upsetting to Simon. “I really had no idea that it was going to upset him, but I meant it and I wouldn’t take it back,” says 23-year-old Megan.

After being voted off American Idol on Wednesday’s Results Show, it was clear that the Idol judges were not going to use their one and only save on Megan Joy. Not a chance in a million. Simon snapped, “With the greatest respect, when you said you didn’t care [about my comments], neither do we. We’re not going to pretend to contemplate saving you. This your swan song. That’s it.”

Given Megan’s disrespectful and insulting comment, Megan literally blew her chances of being saved and it came as no surprise that the judges weren’t going to save Megan for another round of American Idol performances. Had Megan not spoken those words to Simon, she may have been saved. What Megan’s motivation was in saying those fateful words to Simon, that ultimately sealed her fate on the show, may have been her own way of dealing with the hurt she must have been feeling going into the results show.

On Monday’s show, Ellen DeGeneres asks Megan if her odd, bird-like “caw caw” flapping arms moment was her way of mocking the show. Megan replied, “No, I just woke-up feeling like it was my time to go, and I just said to myself: ‘You know what, if I go, I’m going to go out with a bang and enjoy it,’” she says. “So I just tried to have a good attitude.”

Having a “good attitude” while suspecting it’s your time to go home is one thing, but one can only wonder if her snappy retort to Simon Cowell was the best thing to do at the very moment the Idol judges were deciding whether to save her from elimination. Nevertheless, Megan Joy tells Ellen DeGeneres that she’s “absolutely” glad she did the show. “I just thought, never in a million years would I make it,” she says. “It wasn’t that I don’t adore the show and watch, I was just like, ‘I’m never going to make it.’”

Megan Joy has been making the talk show rounds since being voted off American Idol, appearing on “Live with Regis and Kelly” and “Good Day Utah”, and tomorrow’s Ellen DeGeneres show. Check your local listings in order to watch Megan Joy on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

On Tuesday, April 14, the Top 7 American Idol contestants (Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Kris Allen, Matt Giraud, Allison Iraheta aned Anoop Desai) will be performing Songs Of The Cinema/Songs From The Movies, and we’ll be posting our LIVE Idol Recap/Review of each Idol performance along with the judges comments immediately following the show.

Do you think Megan Joy should apologize to Simon Cowell for the insult?

American Idol 4/1/09 Idol Results Top Downloads- Who Got Voted Off American Idol?

American Idol Fan — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 02:00:14 +0000

Who got voted off American Idol 4-1-09? After last night’s American Idol Top Downloads night of Idol performances, American Idol fans are anxious to know who got voted off tonight on American Idol? We’re LIVE blogging the results show as it happens, bringing Idol fans the breakdown of everything that happened during the American Idol results show. The Idol judges weren’t too impressed with several of last night’s Idol performances, and we couldn’t agree more with their reviews and criticisms of song choice and outfits. Remember Randy Jackson’s reaction to Allison Iraheta’s outfit saying, “What are you wearing?!” Hopefully you voted for your favorite American Idol after last night’s show ended, and tonight’s results will be very interesting. Idol predictions all over the net say that Megan Joy will be voted off tonight, but after watching Scott MacIntyre perform his best attempt at “Just The Way You Are”, both Megan and Scott are predicted to be in the Bottom 3 tonight. Will the judges use their save “veto vote” tonight for the Idol contestant with the lowest number of votes? Who got voted eliminated from American Idol tonight?

Ryan Seacrest said “over 36 million votes” came in after last night’s Idol performances by the Top 9. Randy Jackson says the Idol contestants picked the wrong songs and that maybe the genre of Top Downloads was too big. Adam Lambert gets special mention by Ryan Seacrest and Paula Abdul. Asked who he thinks should be worried of being voted off, Simon Cowell says Megan, Anoop and Scott were the three on his list.

The Top 9 Finalists contestants performed Journey’s hit song “Don’t Stop Believin” as a group performance, and it sounded pretty darn good! As I expected, Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey hit the high notes with spectacular precision!

The Top 9 Ford Video was shown and a pre-taped video of the “typical Idol week” with photo shoots, rehearsals and Idol Mania fans going wild for their favorite Idol contestants.

The Results are in! Who is safe? Who are in the bottom 3?

Past American Idol winner, David Cook, takes the stage to sing “Come Back To Me“. I am definitely going to download David Cook’s song as soon as American Idol is over! That performance was HOT and the audience loved it too! David Cook said his tour is being extended and I sure hope he’s coming to our town! David Cook was then presented with a plaque signifying his self-titled David Cook album going Platinum! Congratulations to David on his accomplishments thus far and those yet to come! Watch Video of David Cook singing “Come Back To Me” on American Idol.

Here come the Results!

Bottom Three American Idol Performers:

Megan Joy (as expected and predicted)

Allison Iraheta (I’m not too surprised)

Anoop Desai (I really thought it would be Scott!)

Lady GaGa takes the stage to sing “Poker Face“. I must admit to not being very familiar with Lady Gaga’s music, but she can definitely play that piano. The American Idol audience and judges loved Lady GaGa’s performance, giving her a standing ovation. Lady GaGa fans can download “Poker Face” on iTunes. Watch Video of Lady GaGa singing “Poker Face” on American Idol.

American Idol Host, Ryan Seacrest, asked Simon Cowell which of the Bottom 3 contestants were worth saving with a veto vote and Simon said “1″. Anoop Desai is safe and sent back to sit with the other Idol contestants. Ryan Seacrest asked Simon if there was a chance of saving Megan Joy with a veto vote and Simon “not a chance”. Ouch! That was pretty cut-throat Simon!

Megan Joy was voted off and eliminated from American Idol Season 8. Good luck to you Megan! Watch Video of Megan Joy get voted off.

Breakdown list of the guys and girls who are safe:

Danny Gokey is Safe

Lil Rounds is Safe

Anoop Desai is Safe

Adam Lambert is Safe

American Idol Fan — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:02:16 +0000

The American Idol theme for March 31, 2009 will be “Top Downloads“, and by that we assume Top 100 iTunes downloads, according to news spreading around the net, ever since Idol host Ryan Seacrest announced the Top 9 Idol contestants will be singing songs from “top downloads”.

Past American Idol Season 7 champ, David Cook, will return to the Idol stage performing on this week’s Top Downloads results show airing on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. David Cook will perform Come Back To Me, the latest single off of his self-titled debut album.

This is David Cook’s first return visit to the American Idol stage since being crowned winner of American Idol Season 7, in the midst of Cook’s headline tour that started February 13th and venue locations have been sold out, with David Cook fans anxious to see their past Idol favorite.

Also performing on the same night of American Idol’s Top Downloads is Lady GaGa, singing her hit single Poker Face. Lady Gaga’s debut album entitled “The Fame” was released in 2008, and the hit single “Just Dance” received Grammy attention for Best Dance Recording.

Be sure to check back for our LIVE recap of our American Idol Top 9 finalists, with our review of each “top downloads” performance as it happens, along with Idol judges comments and opinions.

I Told You So Carrie Underwood Video Lyrics – American Idol

American Idol Fan — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 03:29:03 +0000

Carrie Underwood performed her song “I Told You So” on American Idol’s 3-18-09 results show tonight, and American Idol fans are anxious to see the I Told You So video. Well, here ya go! I Told You So YouTube video and lyrics! Don’t forget to tell us what you thought of Who got voted off American Idol tonight!

I Told You So Lyrics:

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you’re all I ever wanted
And it’s killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say…

Chorus
I told you so, Oh I told you so
I told you some day you would come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I’ve found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you’ve missed me too
And that you’ve been so lonely
And you’ve waited for the day that I returned
And we’d live and love forever
And that I’m your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned

would you say…

Chorus

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?

American Idol 3-11-09 – Who Got Voted Off American Idol?

American Idol Fan — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:08:06 +0000

Who got voted off American Idol on 3/11/09 of American Idol Season 8? American Idol host Ryan Seacrest announced the “new rule”, where Idol judges can “veto” an elimination and save one contestant during American Idol Season 8, but only until the competition reaches the top five finalists. Once the competition reaches the Top 5, their fate is in the hands of American voters.

Up until that point, the judges can use their “veto vote” lifeline only once to save a contestant from being voted off, but the vote has to be unanimous amongst the judges.

Idol judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Simon Cowell have to choose wisely who to save, because the judges only get one veto vote. Let’s hope they make the right decision of who to save and who should go home.

So, who got voted off American Idol on 3-11-09, and who is safe to continue on?

Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nunez were both eliminated from the competition, and the judges decided against using their veto vote on these two American Idol contestants.

Here’s a breakdown list of the guys and girls who are safe:

Adam Lambert is Safe
Danny Gokey is Safe
Scott MacIntyre is Safe
Michael Sarver is Safe
Kris Allen is Safe
Matt Giraud is Safe
Anoop Desai is safe (after being in the bottom two)

Lil Rounds is Safe
Allison Iraheta is Safe
Alexis Grace is Safe
Megan Joy Corkrey is Safe (after being in the bottom two)
