American Idol - Go Big or Go Home

[_Seven]

Kris and Anoop were my favorites tonight.

I was very surprised at how much I connected with Anoop’s performance. It was beautiful and his best vocal yet. This will be the first Anoop song I have wanted to download.

Adam was wild and fun tonight. Not my favorite performance but it always wows me to hear him. It feels like I am at a concert anytime the guy steps on the stage. He seems very experienced at performing and the most confident.

Kris was amazing tonight. He sings passionately and really connects with the audience. I was a little nervous at the very beginning and questioning if the song was going to work. Then he had me. My only complaint is that the song was over too quickly. I could have watched him all night.

Allison was great but I think her stage presence is what needs improvement. But for someone so young, the maturity in her performances is remarkable. I still think she will come in 3rd place behind Kris and Adam. My 5 year old rated her and Kris the best tonight.

I think Lil really tried to follow the judges advice, but it didn’t work. She has the voice but lacks the artistic talent of the others. Her performance was boring and her vocals were not even that great tonight.

Danny gave a heartfelt performance and I loved his voice, but I agree with Simon that he needed to change the song up. I think it will be a forgettable performance. Each week when I’m voting, I tend to forget him.

I loved the beginning of Matt’s song with the piano, but when the chorus came he ruined it. He should have kept the arrangement more soft and simple.


That was really irritating only getting two of the judges input tonight. I really missed hearing Simon’s critique.

I’m with Marg. I predict Lil is going home. Matt may be in trouble too and will probably be in the hot seat next to her.

I agree that Lil should go. I like her voice, but she really needs more training. She has serious control issues which were magnified in the transition she attempted in style. I think that she has a lot of potential, but falls short of the others in vocal quality.

That being said, none of the performances really wow'd me last night. My 2 faves were Anoop and Allison. Both of them pleasantly surprised me. That's why I love this show.

I'm not exactly familiar with the folk on A.I. but you MUST see this you tube of the British version contestant Susan Boyle

You won't believe your eyes or ears!!!

I'm gonna make that audience rock!

Wow. That was honestly the coolest thing I've ever seen come from reality TV. Just to see the looks on their faces and the people standing (did the blond judge steal Paula's fists-in-the-air standing dance, or did Paula steal it from her?).

Absolutely fantastic. She sings the song better than any Fantine I've ever heard. Simon's got to get her on a Wednesday night American Idol show.

The last two weeks of A.I. have been absolute snoozefests. Usually, Mrs. Cinepro won't let me skip too much of the performances, but last night she was begging me to jump ahead.

With decades of film songs to choose from, I can't believe we ended up with a bunch of cheesy ballads.

I totally agree! I was simultaneously laughing and crying and jumping for joy.

Watching this was one of those little unexpected treats that pop up in life!!

It's gone viral. Personally I didn't find her singing all that great, but everyone I know does.

Awesome. Amazing voice. I'd heard about this but that was the first chance I had had to watch her. Thanks!

If Megan was there you'd be interested.

Looks like I gave Scott and Megan too much credit, and underestimated Matt. But the Final Four is no surprise, although I underestimated Adam and overestimated Danny.


9. Anoop (6)
8. Matt (5)
7. Megan (Kaw! Kaw!) (8)
6. Scott (7)
5. Lil (6)
4. Kris
3. Adam
2. Danny
1. Allison

Now I think it will go out Danny-Kris-Allison (Adam wins).

In a perfect world, I would stick with Allison as the winner. But for some reason, I think of my fourth favorite movie from 1969 ("The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes") whenever Adam sings, so that gives him the edge.
