Hi!

Ryan starts tonight’s American Idol by introducing the judges and showing their pictures when they were little.  Some were cute, some not so cute!  First up tonight is Danny Gokey singing “Stand By Me”.  The judges all like his performance.  I thought it got better as the song went along.  It wasn’t one of my Danny Gokey favorite songs though.

So here’s the thing.  Kris Allen sang and then after him came Lil Rounds and by the time the commercial came on, I couldn’t remember what Kris Allen sang!  So what does that tell you?  That his song was forgetable.  I know he sang while accompanying himself on the guitar.  I know that someone in the audience called him a hottie.  I know the judge weren’t too impressed.  But, nope, I don’t know what he sang! 

Lil Rounds sang “What’s Love Got To Do With It” and the judges repeated what they tell her every week.  That she’s not making the songs her own.  That her song choices are bad.  That she should be doing a lot better than she is.  What do I say?  She’s no Fantasia that’s for sure.

Remember that commercial by Kodak that used the song “True Colors”?  It was all I could think of while Anoop Desai sang that same song.  The judges liked the way he performed the song.  I thought it was a tad boring.  So far no one is really standing out tonight.  It’s a “blah” kind of night.

For the first time this season, Scott McIntyre sang without his piano.  He accompanied himself with his electric guitar.  The judges didn’t think he did a good job.  He can’t hit the high notes, that’s for sure.

Allison Iraheta sang “I Can’t Make You Love Me”.  The judges love her.  Randy says she reminds him of Kelly Clarkson.  She definitely has a unique sound, doesn’t she?  But that hair…

Singing Stevie Wonder’s “Part Time Lover” was Matt Giraud.  The judges were all praise.  I think he does better without the piano and very cute lookin’ tonight too.

Once again the best was saved for last.  Adam Lambert sang Tear’s For Fears “Mad World”.  I’m not really familiar with the song but he was incredible.  I could see him audio recording that song tomorrow.  To top it off, SIMON gave him a standing ovation.  I’ve been watching from the beginning and I can’t recall another time that Simon has stood for a contestant.  If he has, please comment and let us all know. 

Who will be in the bottom three?  Definitely not Adam!  If I get to pick it would be Scott, Lil Rounds and Anoop…with Scott saying goodbye this week.  But hey, what do I know?  See you tomorrow night.  Bloggergal1
