American Idol Blabbling - April 28
TOP 5
Wow this season has flown by. I wish I could say I was as impressed by this season's talent as the judges keep saying. But I'm not. Few of these contestants have done anything I'd consider great. I know everyone is so excited about how unique Adam is, but honestly I don't care about how unique a person is. I care about whether or not I like to listen to them. So yeah...I'll continue watching of course but I'm pretty much over this season.
Hm...didn't know that "Blame It" was a Jamie Foxx song...not that I like it. But yeah, I pretty much don't know anything about R&B artists. It'll be interesting/painful to see how they fill this hour with 5 contestants singing 1 song.
Kris Allen
LOL Jamie is such a vocal talent and all. Kris sounds a little too feminine right now. Maybe I don't appreciate the "sensitive guy" as much as other girls...but no. I need him to be a little more masculine while singing this cheesetastic song. I don't like this sudden upbeat portion either.
Judges say: Randy thinks it was his best performance to date. Kara is talking about technical abilities...he set the technical standard so high. Paula says he's transitioned into a sophisticated gentleman...near impeccable. Simon thought it was good but not as enthusiastic as the others...thought it was a little bit wet...safe/quite nice/incredible.
Allison Iraheta
Oh I hope she doesn't suck tonight. She looks pretty tonight. Dress is a bit ug in the bottom but her hair looks cute. She's 17. oh dear. This is such a pretty song. Makes me cry. I hope its good. Oh this is so good tonight. Yay Allison. Now America don't be deaf and please vote for her. She's so good. Perfection.
Judges say: Randy say something about octaves...that was the bomb. Kara says she's not nervous for her anymore...she's not a one trick pony...deep/emotional rendition. Paula says she had an innocent sensibility that was alluring and tender. Simon wants to know if she thinks she could win the competition at this stage. He doesn't feel that belief in her still. He tinks she may be in trouble tonight. Oh dear. Kara says he's crazy.
Matt Giraud
He looks tan today. He also is covering up his mole so that's a plus. I don't even know what Jamie is talking about. But this just makes me think of Constantine. Whenever Matt sings ballads he reminds me of Elliott Yamin...not quite as good but similar. I thought it was decent but not fantastic.
Judges say: Randy says it was a little bit pitchy, didn't quite come together. Kara says he wasn't emotionally connected to it. Paula ays he loved what he did with the song. Simon thought it was the only believable authentic song tonight....thought he was brilliant. Note Simon's completely ignoring Kara.
Danny Gokey
Hm...Danny doesn't ever really change anything. Its hard to see if he can be innovative at all. Of course he sounds good but I don't know what he'd do with his own material. I mean he's probably in the same boat as Taylor Hicks. But not a weirdo. He could bring in those middle age women fans like Michael Buble but Taylor didn't so I don't know. But he's clearly a good singer so I hope he is able to do something.
Judges say: Randy says he can sing. Kara says he had swagger tonight. Paula says it was Stellar. Simon says he had swagger and confidence...he proved a point with vocals and performance...outstanding.
Adam Lambert
Yeah I feel like I hear this song all the time. Its a good song but yeah everyone and their mom sings this song. Have those stairs been there the entier time. I haven't been paying attention to the actual performance, mostly just the vocals. But this intro lighting makes Adam's complexion look like cheese. Ok sounds like broadway show again. Ok I'll say that clearly Broadway singers can sing...but yeah that's not what I want fro y American Idol. It wasn't shrieky which was good and that one note was pretty huge. But yeah...like I said I don't hate this fool but I don't like him.
Judges: It was a little too theatrical/broadway but he is in the zone. Kara says her mouth drops open everytime he performs...confusing shocking...craziness. Paula says words cannot describe...he's Michael Phelps. Simon says he wants to win...best entrance we've had...ok so yeah they don't use those stairs normally.
Overall: Allison and Matt in danger...this would have happened regardless of performances tonight...going home...hopefully Matt. Love him but he's not good enough and Allison was so good tonight.
