The Final Four

It was surprising to see Adam in the bottom two. I'm thinking people thought he was safe and voted for others they didn't want to see go. Kris has found new life. His performances have been outstanding the past few weeks. I love the soulful voice of Danny, but I've never been a big Allison fan. I think she is amazing, but she's just not my style. I predict she will be the next to go. I hope we get to hear the final four sing 2 songs each next week. The Rock and Roll theme should help Adam and Allison especially, although Danny and Kris have really surprised me the last few weeks. I can't wait until Tuesday!

The Right Choice

As I mentioned last week, Matt had to be saved, because Lil and Anoop needed to go first. Lil has great talent, but never really found her niche. Anoop is also talented, but I think he got a little cocky, and no longer won over our hearts every week.

Disco Down and Check Out the Show

The gap is widening. Adam, Danny, and Allison are on one side. Kris, Matt, Lil, Anoop are all on the other side. Week after week, Adam proves he is the one to beat. Danny never misses a note, but his overall persona on stage doesn't quite measure up. Allison can sing, but she's not very fun to watch. Kris is probably my 4th choice. I think he has had some brilliant moments, but just doesn't stand out when compared to the first three mentioned.

Matt Needed To Be Saved

The judges did the right thing on American Idol when they exercised there veto power and kept Matt. Not that he's that good, he's just better than Anoop and Lil. 2 people will be going home this week, and I would rather see Anoop and Lil go home first. Here's my prediction for the final outcome. It will get down to Danny and Adam, and Adam will win.

American Idol--Is it about the judges or the contestants?

With 4 judges this season, more time is spent talking about the performances. This eats up valuable program time. My DVR recorded the 4/7 episode, but the only performance worth seeing didn't even make it on the recording. 61 minutes were recorded, and I didn't get to see Adam Lambert's performance.

Let's go back to 3 judges. So much of what the judges say is repetitive and is getting old. As one fan shouted out a few weeks a go while Kara was rambling, "Broken record!!!!" I'm always interested to hear what Simon has to say. I think I could live without any of the other 3.

To be honest, I wasn't really blown away by any of the performances. I think Adam, Danny, and Kris are in a different league than the others. I don't see anybody else in the top 3 at this point.

Worst Performance Ever on American Idol!

No, it wasn't Megan, who got voted off the island. It wasn't from on again, off again, Anoop Dawg, It wasn't even from anyone in the top 36. Without question the honor of worst performance ever on American Idol goes to Lady Gaga. She made me gag-gag. I will say that I enjoyed the talent of the guy who played the violin, but that was it. If you can summarize all of the negative comments made by the judges over 8 seasons of American Idol, you could not do justice to the horror of this performance. Indulgent, wanna be, wardrobe dissaster, a total mess. I hated her song, her voice, her outfit, her makeup, her choreography. Did I miss anything else? Oh yeah, the fog. That performance should never have been presented on American Idol. What were the producers thinking?
