American Idol - Top 4 - Rock Week
Expecty Ryan to be updating us on an accident that cancelled rehearsals...
Debbie Allen fell down the stairs and had to be rushed to the hospital.
Up first:
Adam - "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin
- judges loved it; felt he was totally in his element and should make a rock album, and I agree.
1-866-IDOLS-01
1-866-IDOLS-05
Allison - "Cry Baby" by Janis Joplin
- judges love Allison, and were mostly complimentary. Not all a fan of the song choice, but big Allison fans. I was not a huge fan of the song either, but I want Allison in he Final 3!
1-866-IDOLS-02
1-866-IDOLS-06
Kris and Danny - DUET - "Wanted Man" by Styx
- Judges liked it; Simon said Danny won. The harmonies were amazing - Randy was right; better than the solo's. But, hey, rock music is all about the harmonies...think the Eagles...one of the absolute KINGS of harmony!
Kris - "Come Together" by the Beatles
- luke warm responses from the judges; but they all recognized this theme is a little out of his comfort zone. I honestly hate to see any of these 4 go, they are all so talented and are having an amazing night.
1-866-IDOLS-03
1-866_IDOLS-07
Danny - "Dream On" by Aerosmith
- again for Danny, not his genre, but a good effort. Simon still sees him as safe. Ryan reminds us he is the only remaining contestant to not have ever been in the bottom 3.
1-866-IDOLS-04
1-866-IDOLS-08
***We are dangeously close to going over in time again...
Adam and Allison - DUET - "Slow Ride" by Foghat
- great song! the judges all suggest they do a song together on their respetive albums. Simon crowns them the winner of the DUETS battle, and suggests this perofrmance could save Allison.
Check back for VIDEOS!

American Idol - Top 7 (AGAIN) - It's DISCO!
Time to dance..!?
First up:
Lil Rounds - "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Khan
1-866-IDOLS-01
- more of the same from the judges. I have to agree with Simon in that she will have a real hard time surviving this week with two eliminations. But, who knows...we still have a lot of train wrecks waiting to happen!
Kris Allen - "She Works Hard for the Money" by Donna Summer
1-866-IDOLS-02
- judges all loved it. So, did I, and I have not always been a big Kris fan. Great arrangement and take on the song.
Danny Gokey - "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire
1-866-IDOLS-03
- mostly positive responses from the judges ;Simon not fond of the "performance" aspect, but agreed with the judges on everything else.
Allison Iraheta - "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer
1-866-IDOLS-04
- judges loved it. The girl can SANG!
Adam Lambert - "If I Can't Have You" by The Bee Gees
1-866-IDOLS-05
- major judges pimping. I think the judges are afraid because they don't have the save anymore...it will be obvious by the end who they want us to send home.
Matt Giraud - "Stayin Alive" by The Bee Gees
1-866-IDOLS-06
- mediocre reviews
Anoop Desai - "Dim All the Lights" by Donna Summer
1-866-IDOLS-07
- OK. well Simon wants Anoop gone. All of th other judges liked it. This really feels wrong. I don't think Anoop was worse than Matt.
The two leaving definately will be between Lil, Matt and Anoop.

American Idol - Top 7 - Songs of the Cinema - Performances
Let's see how good the spoilers were! Because the show went 8 minutes over last week we will only be hearing from two judges tonight after each performance. The judges will be taking turns...how cute!
Yep! What I am going to do is copy the spoilers into this post and then I will add some comments!
Allison Iraheta - “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith - from the movie "Armageddon"
Paula - I have been touting Adam's great vocals all season long, but you really have the same qualities. Really really great vocals.
Simon - I don't think I've ever heard a girl sing that song and sing it well. I think you are the only hope the girls have and we could very well see you in the finals.
Me - Not my favorite Allison performance, but I still LOVE her!
Anoop Desai - “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams - from the movie "Robin Hood"
Randy - Wow - listen you have definitely found your zone; really really good job; congrats!
Kara - You've really found your place and I think it was your best performance so far.
Me - I agree wit Kara that this was Anoops best performance to date. I think on top of "roughing it up" as Quentin suggested, it seemed he was singing in a little higher key? Maybe a better fit for him?
Adam Lambert - “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf - from the movie "Born to be Wild"
Paula - Fortune rewards the brave?
Simon - Vocally incredible; a little bit like the rocky horror musical; I liked it but last week was more original; more current
Me - This is actually the first time that I have really enjoyed Adams "instrument". OK...he might be growing on me a little...
Matt Giraud - “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” by Bryan Adams - from the movie "Don Juan"
Randy - A rough patch in the bridge; wasn't one of your best performances for me.
Kara - I appreciate you took a rock song and tried to add some soul to it; but in doing so you lost some of the melody.
Me - I thought it was pretty good. Randy and Kara are always listening to the performances as "studio" performances where Simon and Paula see it as it is - a "live" peroformance. These contestants all seem so much better tonight. Quentin has done a really nice job of giving these contestants "little things" that make them a whole lot better.
Danny Gokey - “Endless Love” by Diana Ross - from the movie "Endless Love"
Paula - In the beginning I was concerned you started this in too low of a key because you know we love the timbre in your voice; but midway through you pulled it off. beautiful beautiful rendition
Simon - I can't fault the way you sang the song; I was disappointed you used the harp and you didn't change it up more. But I can see that this song was emotional for you and I congratulate you for that.
Me - I like Danny better with glases and also sort of agree with Simon.
Kris Allen - “Falling Slowly” Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova - from the movie "Once"
Randy - it never quite caught on for me; pitchy from note one
Kara - difficult to pick an obscure song; but for me it was one of your best moments.
Me - I almost fell asleep during the song. Not feeling Kris tonight...
** Only six minutes left to finish the commercial break, have Lil perform, and do the recaps!***
Lil Rounds - “The Rose” by Bette Midler - from the movie "The Rose"
Paula - You could not have sung a more beautiful lyric; the rest didn't make much sense
Simon - Lil I think that you are getting this completely wrong; you had some nice moments; I am getting frustrated
Me - I actually thought it was Lil's best peroformance. I thought she finally changed a song up a bit. I can understand she might have a way to go (according to Simon); but I thought for the first time she listened to what the judges have said
Officially 3 minutes over
