Ugh. I love the concept of "Year You Were Born" week, but by now, it's nearly all 80s songs, and I'm not the biggest 80s fan.

I'd either hate Allison or love Allison if she did "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover." That's a vintage 90210 jam!

Danny - LOVED IT. This is a good start...

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:18 PM
Danny sucked. i hated that arrangement and all i could think of was David's performance of that song last year and on tour which beats Danny's x32409834209423.

Kris chose the wrong song, not a good performance.

Krisalicious
04-07-2009, 08:18 PM
Kris - Ew. Poor song choice. He's so much better than that.

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:22 PM
Lil - pretty good vocally, but the performance itself was blah. i think she's officially just fodder at this point. she started off as a promising Mary J Blidge-type but now she's just another typical AI diva. i think she still has potential but she's choosing to sing typical "diva" songs and it's just like a "been there, done that" thing at this point.

Krisalicious
04-07-2009, 08:25 PM
Lil - Weirdly enough, I agree with everything the judges said. She's a really good singer but she just isn't very original. Reminds me of.. LA TOYA LONDON anyone? She has potential but as of right now she's just a really good karaoke singer.

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:34 PM
Anoop - this was pretty good but he's not really all that impressive to me, i don't see much potential in him honestly. however this was probably the best performance so far.

Krisalicious
04-07-2009, 08:35 PM
Anoop - Sang really well. Good arrangement. I think he is improving a lot.

JulieSomoski
04-07-2009, 08:40 PM
I feel bad for Lil. She has a great voice, and I thought it was a good performance. They keep telling her to be more original, more contemporary, but with only getting to choose songs for her birth year, it's hard to do that. Hopefully she'll get through next week, and get the chance to be more contemporary, because that's when she's best.

Everyone else was on the same level - good, nothing special so far.

Cactus Jack
04-07-2009, 08:44 PM
Danny wasnt too bad, Archie was TONS better at it.


Kris pretty good

Lil-agree with judges and Joe


Anoop-Awesome

Scott-great

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:44 PM
Scott - i'm glad he changed it up but it was sort of awkward. you could tell he wasn't comfortable without the piano and there were some really bad notes. that said, it was a decent performance, but nothing outstanding.

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:50 PM
Allison - definitely the best so far tonight, i really liked that. i don't like her style but again...she's the most marketable by far.

Cactus Jack
04-07-2009, 08:51 PM
Allison-AWESOME


Allison.Anoop top 2 PLEASE though that wont happen

JulieSomoski
04-07-2009, 08:52 PM
Each week, I find both Anoop's and Scott's performances very awkward to watch, and this week was no different. Anoop was good, though. Scott really didn't have a good week.

Very weird how Randy mentioned that Allison reminded him of Kelly Clarkson, because immediately when he said that, I noticed that Allison had a striking resemblance to Kelly - has anyone else seen this?

Really, though, Allison was the first wow singer of the night for me. She was really great this week, and is easily becoming my favorite contestant. I really didn't see what Simon meant about her not being likeable or talkative enough, though, because she seems to be quite the opposite, with an AMAZING voice.

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:55 PM
i dont really understand the Allison/Kelly comaprisons, at least not from when Kelly was on Idol. Kelly was more of a soul singer on Idol.

Lil and Scott need to be in the bottom 3. Why are the judges always up Danny's butt. He isn't that great.

EmoJoe
04-07-2009, 08:58 PM
Matt - i really liked his performance tonight. him & Allison = best of the night.

Krisalicious
04-07-2009, 08:59 PM
Scott - Meh. He was better last week.

Allison - Really good but in NO way should she ever be compared to Kelly Clarkson....ever...

Matt - Holy crap lol. That was good. I haven't liked him at all yet this competition, but that performance was amazing.

JulieSomoski
04-07-2009, 09:01 PM

I definitely see a lot of soul in Allison's voice. Maybe it's just me.

They're really crunching for time tonight. Matt wasn't as good as they said he was, but the comments were just about as brief as I've ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised if they skip Adam's comments altogether, seeing how much they'll probably love him :rolleyes:

Kristina! Hey girl! it's been a while. I don't I even knew you still came here.

anyway, Matt was great. I hope Adam does well.

HEYYYY GIRL! Lol it def has been awhile. I come here from time to time. Usually I die for a few months and then return for idol season. IM me sometimeeee =)

I enjoyed Adam tonight. Much better than the past few weeks.

Cactus Jack
04-07-2009, 09:07 PM
Adam was good, but totally shoulda done White Wedding or Pressure ,either woulda been EPIC

JulieSomoski
04-07-2009, 09:07 PM
I'm sorry, I just don't see the fascination with Adam. I found his voice very screechy at points tonight.

Wow, 8 minutes over it looks like for tonight - that's gotta be a new record. IMO, the best of the night goes to Allison, with Matt a close second. Neither better be in the bottom 3 this week.

3. Danny
4. Anoop
5. Adam

8. Lil

Lil needs to go tomorrow. I'm sorry but she's just not really up to par with the rest, who keep improving and she keeps just kinda doing the same old thing.

EmoJoe

Adam is SO not mainstream, and i cant believe the judges liked that steaming pile of boring dated crap. i can't wait until he wins and becomes a complete failure because the current music industry would never accept anyone like him, sorry. honestly, if you take away the kewl blue lighting and the acting, you get a mediocre, outdated performance.

and Lil or Scott is gone tomorrow.

I agree, Lil needs to go, like yesterday. I also want to see Scott go home soon, he wouldn't be getting this praise were he not blind. Sorry but that's how I feel.

Are you kidding? You must be. I have friends who don't even watch Idol who have downloaded Adam's music. He's probably one of the few contestants this mediocre season that has potential to do well in the industry, because he can sing AND perform. I think he could put on a concert and we could be wowed by his voice AND entertained. I definitely can't see anyone buying Scott's boring CD and Lil doesn't even have that great of a voice and isn't very unique for her genre. The only other people I could see maybe doing well if they had good singles are Allison and Kris.

I kind of have to agree about Scott. His performance really wasn't that good, and he probably deserves to go home before Lil does. I'd rate him the worst for this week. Being blind probably is helping him to a certain extent. It almost feels rigged to a point, even though it's a rude thing to say.

Last night, I put in 5 votes for Lil Rounds, and 4 votes for Allison Iraheta. I really like both of them. Also, how hard was it for the show to be one hour? It ran ten minutes longer than it should have last night.

i dont know what Adam would do if he won Idol at this point though...i mean would he do rock, pop, dance, what? he just confuses me, and his voice is unbearable to me. he seems really dated. and i agree that Allison and Kris are the only people who have any real potential, mostly Allison.

1. Allison- Definitely the best of the night. She is an amazing young woman.

2. Scott- I liked his performance, although I agree that he's better with the piano. I don't think his disability is what's keeping him on the show. He has talent.

3. Danny- Still one of my favorites, but I thought that was a lousy performance. He sounded very nasally and the arrangement was weird.

4. Kris- I wouldn't have chosen that song, but he was still pretty good.

5. Anoop- Nop bad.

6. Adam- Count me in with those who don't understand the appeal.

7. Matt- Too nasally and boy-band for me.

8. Lil- Biggest disappointment for me this season.

I think it's time for Lil to go.

JulieSomoski
04-08-2009, 07:43 PM
According to DialIdol, Scott and Kris are in danger tonight. Based on that, the bottom 3 could be Scott, Kris, and Anoop tonight. Lil looks to be safe with her strong fanbase, and Allison came in third for the night, everyone far behind, Adam, though.

It's pretty obvious at this point at every contestant is just an opening act for the great Adam Lambert. Seriously, he's always either last or second to last, every single week.

JulieSomoski
04-08-2009, 09:41 PM
Well, a Scott, Anoop, Lil bottom 3 for tonight. Anoop probably doesn't deserve to be there, but it looks pretty right I think. Now I wonder if the judges will use their save - my guess would be they'd use it on Lil if she were to go home, possibly Anoop. But, it may be Scott who ends up going up tonight.

EmoJoe

i feel kind of bad for Scott even though it was his time to go. you could tell he really put a lot into this. still he was probably the weakest one left.

Adam could sing anything and any genre. I think he could do pop/rock and be successful, but really he could do almost anything. I just think he has "it."

Lil should be next. Anoop really shouldn't have been in the bottom 3.

EmoJoe
04-08-2009, 10:08 PM
yeah Lil is the next weakest of the pack. i have a feeling someone like Allison or Kris is going to get the lowest number of votes next week though and the judges are going to save them.

Cactus Jack

Ditto, he was a nice guy, and at first I didnt think he'd go this early AT FIRST,but it was his time

I'm really sad to see Scott go. I really enjoyed him. Lil should have been the one to go home, IMHO.

JulieSomoski
04-09-2009, 05:26 PM
Yeah, I felt bad for Scott, but it was his time. I have a feeling Anoop will be next - he has the smallest fanbase of the 7 left, no matter how good or bad he is. Lil has a very strong fanbase - she had her worst performance this week, but wasn't even in the bottom 3.

The top 7 this year is really strong, though. All of them are really great singers, which is something you don't normally see in Idol. I really wouldn't mind seeing any of them win.

EmoJoe
04-09-2009, 09:41 PM
they're strong singers, but i don't think most of them would stand a chance in today's music industry.

Chocoholic

I think Danny could have a future in country music if that's what he wants to go for. He did a fantastic job singing Jesus, Take the Wheel and What Hurts the Most.

Adam should go for Broadway or something.

I can see Kris, Allison, and Scott doing well in adult contemporary or soft rock.

I have a feeling Lil or Anoop will be going home next.

It's really hard to predict who'll be next, because they're all so good. I think it's going to depend on the performances from now on. If one of them really bombs tonight, that's it.
