American Idol---Week 7---the singing

Our top 7...wait, what...did we do this last week...oh yeah...the judges wasted, I mean "used" the save on Matt.  In my dreams Adam gets booted this week!


Disco night...can't say I'm excited about this...am excited there isn't a guest judge! Back to all 4 judges speaking....good thing I recorded the show after AI, just in case.

Lil: Shaka Kahn (had to look up how to spell that one)..."I'm every women".  I think we have heard this song EVERY year since year 1! I like her hair tonight. The arrangement sucks! Seems like there is more breaks and whoooos then words.  I guess it is a stronger performance then previous weeks...but I'm not blown away.  Judges? So, the judges agree!  I'm surprised that they all agree with each other...awesome...

Kris: "She works hard for the money"...Love the box drum.  Loved it when Kat McPhee used it with "Black horse and a cherry tree".  Interesting arrangement.  It's like John Mayer does Donna Summer.  I'm not entirely sure that this was all in tune...but I do like that he did something totally different.  May have been scary had he sung it like Donna. Paula...Santana...better comparison...good job!  Hurray!!!!  I'm sooooo glad they all liked it!  I will need to listen again tomorrow when I can turn it up!  I'm just glad the judges all liked him.  AND I totally agree that he knows "who he is"...I like this kid...glad he is doing well!

Danny: "September"...glad the glasses are back.  (On a side note...I just realized that they aren't doing little clips of the contestants talking before their performance...I guess that is the best way to keep the show from running long...people would rather miss them babbling then miss Simon's critiques) Back to Danny...okay, kid can sing...but I just don't think there is anything that special about him and I feel like he is mostly forgettable!  I'm sure the judges loved it! See?  I mostly, always agree with Simon (except when he critiques Adam) thank you Simon for saying what I am feeling.

Allison: "Hot Stuff" (what?)  Loving the curly hair! OH...now I know this song.  Man, I love her voice! That ending was a bit awkward! Guess if I really knew the arrangement of the song I might have an issue with this arrangement.  Who cares...disco week sucks!  But this girl can sing!!!!

Adam: (Ummm...cut to Adam standing in a crowd of girls...ewwww!) "If I can't have you"...connect to emotionally...and by emotional do you mean screaming???  Oh emotionally slow and dreary...Paula is crying...Adam is "wailing"...literally wailing...guess that is his slow version of the rocker screams. I hate that the judges love him...I hate that Paula is crying...pah-lease!  I am not inspired!  Visceral??  How many big words is she going to try and use tonight...I agree with Simon...we all need an interpreter...AND I LOVE how Simon looks at her...I HATE that Simon likes him.

Matt: "Staying Alive"...pulling out the JT card tonight...don't do that! Seriously, who does he think he is...this is not good.  Then the back-up dancers become side dancers...!  Do you think Simon will make a crack about the "staying alive" thing since "he be going home this week"?  I hate when they compare people to Matt...I also think Paula shouldn't use bowling analogies.  Amen Simon!

Anoop: "?"...look: not good.  start: rough. Oh "Dim all the lights"...what? Music speeds up...Anoop gives us one clap to get us going...but it's not really picking up the pace that much!  I am not feeling this song.  Now I'm thinking that Matt maybe be "staying alive" tomorrow.  Anoop just made my decision a little harder about who is going home tomorrow...dang it!  

for the votes...
in the "comments" leave your bottom 4...yes, a bottom 4.  I'm guessing they will give us that...or maybe they will not do any...either way...bottom 4.  Then the 2 (yep, 2) that are going home!

points will possibly go as follows: 1=3, 2=5, 3=7, 4=10.  5 for each correct going home!

Good luck!!! Don't have time to proofread, need to go rock my crying sick kid...don't make fun of me if there are errors!

I wasn't really that excited about the disco night, either. Lil's performance was boring (I fast forwarded through it), Danny I thought did a good job (even though he's not my favorite), Adam sucked (it was like he was screaming), Kris was awesome (I hope he's in the final 2), Allison did a good job (I loved her look tonight, curly hair especially), I did not like Matt's version of Staying Alive, and Anoop didn't do as well as last week (guess that's it in a nutshell). So, bottom 4:
Lil
Matt
Anoop
Allison
going home: Lil and Matt
Nana T.

Going home:
Lil
and ...Anoop or Matt???? So tough.
ANOOP

Not a bad night of performances--even just the audio on youtube made it seem pretty decent. I should kick butt this week since I was in high school and college during the great disco years and still sing my guts out with Earth, Wind & Fire as I'm driving, but who knows?

Here goes--
Bottom four
Lil
Allison
Matt
Anoop

Going home--
Anoop and Lil.

This should be very interesting point wise! I think it is fairly obvious who the front runners are...makes me wonder if there were no judges, how the voting would go. Maybe I am just getting "too old" and out of touch, 'cause the ones I really like don't seem to be in the top 2 positions, in the judges eyes...whatever...once this season is over, I will never have to listen to Adam again!

My bottom 4:
Lil
Matt
Anoop
Danny (here's hoping)

Going home: (this is harder then I thought)...Lil and Anoop (could matt get that lucky?)

I've decided I need to comment before I read all your comments. I am totally swayed that I will not be the cool girl here. I CRIED during Adams song. Cried. Boo-hooed. Visceral. And then I read all your comments and if I had an ounce of self esteem I would not let you into my life. But I also think there is a huge audience for him. If he wins (yep, WINS) are you all going to stop watching?? And I LOVE that Simon liked this week. Enough about Adam... OK, enough about Adam here... because I can't get enough Adam... I feel a little guilty because I still think Danny with take the crown... but now Adam is coming up and some of you don't like Danny either! I can't win here!
Bottom 4 Lil, Anoop, Matt, Allison. With Anoop and Lil going home.
Wait, I'm not done, I forgot that I almost fast forwarded through Kris's song, but I couldn't locate the remote... it was boring and completely forgettable. Then the judges start and all my insecurites come out... They loved it? What?? Were we hearing the same song? And then some of you loved it and I'm again the nerd of the class. Oh well. And forgive any of my mistakes because I have to run to work... No excuses of sweet babies to see to
