American Idol---Week 4---the singing

Guess what...I do not have to watch alone...Nana T is here for a fun night of AI!


Theme: oh...the door is wide open.  Popular downloads from Itunes...of course, we know the judges will disapprove of at least half of their song choices.

Anoop: an Usher song...hmmm...at least more current then Bobby B.  He's trying to look "bad" and it just ain't working. It's like "Michael does Usher"...Michael's jacket and trying to sound like Michael...but singing Usher...and not well.  See...first disapproval of a song...that's 1.

Megan: Bob Marley...just on little wanna-be dread....where is Jason Castro when you need him? Nana T is not liking this... and amen to the audience yelling "broken record"...awesome!!!!  Here comes Paula and "this stage of the competition"...

Danny: (note to begin...I cannot stand him). Rascal Flats...Another sad ballad...shocker! Didn't he sing this song during the pre-audition rounds?  What the crap judges...why do they love him so much...I guess he has a good voice...yet, the whole wife thing turned me off soooooo much that I will never like him! Sorry Kara...but he didn't move me emotionally!

Allison: (only one I really care to hear).  No Doubt...PLEASE don't screw this up...I am the biggest fan of Gwen.  She has an amazing voice!  I have nothing to say...I LOVE LOVE her...please America get to voting!!!  Randy...this ain't a fashion show...you too Kara...don't worry about the clothes...let's talk about the voice.  It wasn't forced....shut up!  Her outfit wasn't even distracting...move on!  Make up your mind Paula...are Danny and Adam going to the end or Allison.  Sorry folks...I thought it was fantastic!!!!

Scott: Billy Joel...NOOOOOO!...Please leave that alone!  Hey, did you notice the haircut...not good! Oh, his hair is bad...more distracting then Allison's outfit!  I will repeat what I say every week...he can play...but I don't think his voice is that great.

Matt: Do you think he'll sing JT or Coldplay? The Fray...yeah...I could see him looking like that guy too!  I like him alright...Not sure I like the keyboard in the middle of the crowd.  Not sure this is one of my favs of his.  Hmmm?!  When you sing a well known song...I think it should sound completely different or better then the original...and this didn't!  Can some one please give me a definition of "riff" "riffing"...it's Kara's favorite word and now Paula is using it.  Wrong song count 2!

Lil': Celine...really?  They keep telling her she makes the wrong song choice and so she chooses to attack a Celine song...you are crazy and killing my pre-vote since I have you winning! I did not like this very much. Wrong song count 3!  Look at Little Lil hugging Randy!  That will get her the votes she needs...

Here comes creepy...I mean Adam: Wild Cherry....Play that funky music. Why is he trying to be "sexy"...I can hardly look at him...so maybe I will just type non stop till he is done singing so I don't have to watch him.  If the judges like this...well, I just don't even want to listen to them.  They are going to talk about how comfortable he is on stage, blah, blah, blah!  DO NOT COMPARE HIM TO STEVEN TYLER....DO NOT!!!!  Original...crap!!! Randy...it WAS corny. There you go...Give props to the band...that'll win points.  SHUT UP KARA!!!  Did you hear Adam say it was a great arrangement...I wasn't a huge David Cook fan, but at least he did his own arrangements...sorry Adam fans, I just am so annoyed and creeped by him.

Kris: Ain't no sunshine...Love the piano, love that he is just wearing a t-shirt, love the quartet. Love his  voice...hmmmm....I think I like him.  WAY, WAY, WAY better then Adam!!!!!!!!! Alright judges, do me proud. Thank you Randy! I hate to say it but, Thank you Kara, ditto to you Paula. And AMEN Simon...yep...confidence!!!!!  HURRAY!!!!

***Sometimes you don't really realize how bad a singer did until you watch the recap at the end of the show...

Alright...go to comments, leave your bottom and who is going home!!!

I am not a religious watcher of AI but I did watch tonight and I think Anoop is going. Just a guess.

T: In music, a riff is an ostinato (a motif or phrase which is persistently repeated) figure: a repeated chord progression, pattern, refrain or melodic figure, often played by the rhythm section instruments or solo instrument, that forms the basis or accompaniment of a musical composition (though they are most often found in rock music, Latin, funk and jazz)...thank you wiki.

My picks for the week are as follows:

Megan (I used to think her voice was interesting...now it is just annoying)
Anoop (he just doesn't have a strong voice)
Matt (I really like Matt...but the judges and America don't seem to...)

Going home...Megan (I hope...my pre-vote had her gone the first week...)

OK, I keep trying to get Megan outta there and tonight is the night. The other 2 to share the hot seat will be Matt and Anoop. And I am Sooooo NOT copying you Dallin. Really.

From Mgoody (Marlene):

Did not care for Anoop's performance...he should never try an Usher song.

I used to love Megan's voice...not sure what happened. She sounds just bizarre now.

Rascal Flatts...love them...Danny did not do a very good job with that song!!

I could not help but me affected by Allison's outfit. Yuk! She is one of my favorites, but I did not like her performance last night.

I really tune out Scott's voice and just watch him on the piano. I took lessons for four years and never played like that and am not blind (of course I have my own challenges). haha Be quiet Darren.

Matt was not good either last night. He's buggin.

Lil was awful. I just kept picturing when Kelly Clarkson sang I Surrender on the first season. Lil cannot compare!!

LOVE Adam! Come on people!!! He is a great performer and singer. I could watch that white boy sing anytime.

Kris was okay I guess...just not a fan. I cannot stand to watch his mouth...I don't know...he just looks so dorky.

Bottom three:
Megan
Lil
Anoop

Going home: Megan

AFTER GIVING THIS MUCH CONSIDERATION WITH MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE(AS DARREN AND MARLENE WILL TESTIFY)

NOOP BOY HAS MORE LIFE BECAUSE THE LITTLE GIRLS LIKE HIM...NOT A FAN

MATT**NOT FAN EITHER, I CANT GET PASSED THE MOLE ON HIS FOREHEAD.

DANNY**ALWAYS LIKED HIM BUT MAYBE NOT SO MUCH LATELY.

MEGAN**BLESS HER LITTLE CORK SCREW BODY....SHE HAS GOT TO GO..(FOX NEWS INTERVIEWED HER GRAND PARENTS AND THEY SAID HER GOAL WAS THE TOUR SO, SHE MET IT. NOW GO)

ADAM***LITTLE ELVIS WANNABE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR ME.BUT I AM SURE HE HAS A WONDERFUL RICH LIFE A HEAD OF HIM.

SCOTT** BEING SIGHTED WOULD BE A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR US ALL..I ADMIRE WHAT HE CAN DO. THE HAIR OR THE VOICE DOES NOTHING FOR ME THOUGH.

LIL SOUNDS THE SAME TO ME EVERY WEEK....SHE CAN SING BUT NOTHING DIFFERENT.OR MEMORABLE..HER LITTLE GIRLS ARE DARLING THOUGH.

ROCKER GIRL(WHATS HER NAME?)OH YEA, ALLISON. SHE IS AN AMAZING YOUNG LADY..BUT ROCK IS NOT MY THING EITHER AND I ONLY LIKE NATURAL RED HEADS.(because i have 2 grandchildren with red hair)..

CHRIS: THIS IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT..I THINK I FOUND SOMEBODY TO TAKE CLAYS PLACE..I LOVE CHRIS NOW...
I LOVE HIS VOICE, HIS OUTFIT, HIS MUSIC...ETC ETC ETC......HE IS REALLY GROWING ON ME.....I WISH HE WOULD WIN BUT ADAMS FAMILY BOY PROBALY WILL WIN.

MY FINAL THREE IS

LIL
SCOTT

First, I need to make an amendment to blueroserider's vote for Matt to be in the bottom three--she meant Scott. So she is really not copying you, Dallin:)
Bottom three for Jayhawk runner:
Allison (I dont' think she deserves it; I am just not sure that America is loving her.)
Scott--it's time baby. If you slow down a Billy Joel ballad, something is wrong.
Anoop.

Going home: Anoop

PS. Michael is making the same votes. (He is just too lazy and uninvolved to vote himself. Plus, he just bought a guitar and now thinks he is too talented to even waste his time watching AI.)
