Top 9 Results Night...

Hey! This week’s bottom three were Anoop, Megan, and Allison.
Aww... How come Allison’s in there again? Ahh… Don’t mind ‘cause she’s the first one to be safe among the three.
Between Anoop and Megan, I like Megan but I guess she’ll be the one eliminated. And she really was. For Anoop, hmm... He really needs to work harder now because almost all the remaining contestants are really great. If he wants to stay, he should give his best each week. And he should be careful with his song choices.

Ok! Now let’s talk about the guest performance of David Cook.
Wow! He sang “Come Back To Me”. I totally love this song! It’s one of my favorites in his album because it has very nice lyrics and melody. And if only I can watch the music video now, I’m sure I’ll love the whole package. Speaking of which, is there anyone here who have watched it already? Please, please, tell me where you have watched it. ‘Cause me, as I told last time, I didn’t yet get the chance to watch it. So I’ll really appreciate it if you can help me. Hehe…

Thanks!^_^

Top 9 Performance Night...

Uoh… I should have gotten the idea that the top 9 contestants will be singing popular downloads on iTunes since David Cook and Lady Gaga will be performing the next day. We all know how popular the songs of these two are. So yeah, tonight’s theme was “iTunes Top 100”.


First was ANOOP DESAI.
He sang “Caught Up”.
Randy said it was vocally good. But for the song itself, it wasn’t the right choice for him. Simon said it’s a mess. It’s like Anoop’s a ‘wanna be’.
In my own opinion, yeah, kinda poor song choice for him, but he still sounded good somehow.

Next was MEGAN JOY.
She sang “Turn Your Lights Down Low”.
Oh… I agree with Kara. Megan’s in trouble now. I like her voice, its uniqueness and originality. But performances like this one’s making all those things I like to her disappear, as Simon said. She really just needs to choose carefully the songs she will sing if she wants to stay here.

DANNY GOKEY.
He sang “What Hurts the Most”.
Oh my! What a very, very heart felt performance. It’s his best performance for me.
And I love, love, what Simon said, something like this, “get a great song, do it clearly, do your version”. That explains it all! Haha..

ALLISON IRAHETA.
She sang “Don’t Speak”.
Ok. Not her best but good. She still rocks!
Forget Randy’s comment about what she’s wearing. It’s cute after all! Hehe..

SCOTT MACINTYRE.
He sang “Just the Way You Are”.
Wow! He’s with the piano again. But at least, this performance’s much, much better than the past weeks. I know you’ll agree, right?!

MATT GIRAUD.
He sang “You Found Me”.
Hmm… He almost sounded like the original. But I don’t agree with Simon. He’s not trying to be someone else. He already is. And he deserves to stay, ok!

LIL ROUNDS.
She sang “I Surrender”.
She sang really well tonight. It’s like she’s back to her niche. Don’t mind Simon’s ‘wedding comment’. I remember he already said that one time. Is there any other thing he can say? Haha... kiddin’…

ADAM LAMBERT.
He sang “Play That Funky Music”.
Wow! He made that hair-look again. Is he going to be like that in each week’s performance? Hmm… I guess that depends in his song choices. He needs to look formal sometimes. But you know, for me, I love more his original look, regardless of the black nail polish. Haha..
Anyway, I love his performance tonight. Very nice! He’s a true genius.

KRIS ALLEN.
At last, we got into Kris. He sang “Ain’t No Sunshine”.
Wow! He can play not just the guitar, ‘cause tonight he played the keyboard.
This guy got very nice comments from all four judges. And I hope you won’t mind if I say them all, would you? Hehe… Ok! Here it goes…
Randy said it’s one of the best performances tonight.
Kara said a three-word comment “That is artistry!”
Paula said something like, it’s his first cut from his album.
Simon said he was very clever.


Oh yeah! We’re almost finished.
Just watch tomorrow’s show for the results, and of course, the guest performances from David Cook and Lady Gaga.

Ahh... I really can’t wait. I bet our current American Idol David Cook will be singing his latest single “Come Back To Me”. And by the way, he just finished shooting the music video of this single. So I hope I can watch it in time. Anyone here who knows where I can watch it? I’ve checked Youtube already, but the full version of the music video isn’t there yet. All I’ve seen were clips, sneak peak, etc. So if you have any idea, please tell me. Thanks! ^_^

Top 10 Results Night...

This was a shocking night for me. Matt Giraud was in the bottom 3. He really had done great. But then, he only got few votes.
But luckily, he was not the one who goes home. It's Michael Sarver. And yeah, somehow I agree because of his performance last night.

OK! That's all about the results.

By the way, I've known that next week, David Cook and Lady Gaga will be performing next week, probably on the results show.
Omg! Can't wait! I wanna see David Cook performing on the Idol stage again. LOL

Top 10 Performance Night...

Hey, as I told you, tonight the top 10 will be singing Motown songs. And this time, I think I won't be able to tell you every contestant's performance. Again, I'll concentrate to the performances I love tonight.

MATT GIRAUD. He sang "Let's Get It On".
-Yeah, he really challenged on a top spot. He has a very nice tone, and vocal interpretations. All in all, he had a great performance tonight.

KRIS ALLEN. He sang "How Sweet It Is". And again, he's with his guitar.
-Great song choice, brilliant performance. I really love it, especially at the last part. And yeah, I agree with Simon, Kris should have self-belief 'cause he really is an amazing singer.

ANOOP DESAI. He sang "Ooh Baby Baby".
-Whew! For me, that's another dramatic performance. But he did a pretty good job, as Kara said. hehe...

ADAM LAMBERT. He sang "Tracks of My Tears".
-Whataaa! New hair! He looks good, but I love more his 'original' hair. hehe..
So that's it. Great song choice. He's a star. He can do everything. Very, very hot performance tonight.

DANNY GOKEY. He sang "Get Ready".
-Nice! He's a great singer. This wasn't his best, but great.

ALLISON IRAHETA. She sang "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone".
-Among the girls, I think she is my most favorite one. See! She's the only girl I mentioned tonight. And her performance... Wow! Another rock solid performance! Awesome! She's more than just a 16 year old.

About the next episode...

Hey! I just wanna tell you a little info. This is just very short, promise! hehe..

For next week, they will be celebrating "50 years of Motown".
The Top 10 finalists return to the American Idol stage to perform classic Motown songs under the guidance of mentors and Motown legends Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy, Jr.

That's all!

Bye!

Top 11 Results Night...

Tonight was really tough for the top 11. The bottom three were Allison, Alexis, and Michael. I was expecting that Allison will be the first to be safe, and she really was. And then, for the two left, I really didn't know exactly who will be voted out.
Both their performance were okay for me, but not that great. So it's kinda okay for me too, no matter who will be out tonight.

And there you go, Alexis had the least votes. But the judges were thinking if they would consider saving her. So she sang again. The judges talked, and then came up with a decision which is precisely unanimous. It's the end of the road for Alexis.

Hmmm... So that's what happened.
We will no longer see Alexis for the next coming weeks.
But anyway, the good news for the 10 left contestants is that they will have their summer tour on.. uhh.. I just don't know the date. I won't be able to go there anyway. It's too impossible for me, right? hehe^_^
But I'm sure they will be showing on TV that summer tour of the top 10 next week.
So we might as well just wait for that.

By the way, next week, Idol will be showing on Wednesday and Thursday in the US, which is equivalent to Thursday and Friday here on my place.
Oh...What's that? Nothing important! I just wanna share some stuff...LOL

Top 11 Performance Night...

In honor of The Grand Ole Opry, this week's theme was all about country music. And tonight, the country music superstar Randy Travis was guest as the first mentor of this season.

Wow! Another hot, hot, performances from tonight's show. I guess I'm gonna tell you at least a single detail to every contestant's performance because for me, they all really did well tonight.

Let's start!


1. MICHAEL SARVER
-He sang "Ain’t Goin’ Down Till the Sun Comes Up". Hmmm... I'm not sure if that's the title. But it's a cool song choice, I think. He sang it really fast. And as Kara said, that's million of words in that song. So it's pretty amazing how he memorized all those words, even though Simon said that he didn't understand a single word. Don't mind it! Michael had so much fun on it. And that's great! Have fun!


2. ALLISON IRAHETA
-She chose the song "Blame It On Your Heart". She had performed it very joyful. And...Wow! This 16 year old really rocks! She's getting better and better each week. And for that, she really will go far in this competition. So keep on rocking, girl!


3. KRIS ALLEN
-This guy sang "To Make Me Feel Your Love".
Hey! He's not with his guitar tonight. What a pleasant surprise that he showed us some of his tender moments 'cause it gave us a chance to concentrate more on his vocals. And tonight, I guess more and more people are now thinking that he really will go great in the show. Speaking of which, I really love what Simon told him, something like, "you actually got a shot doing really well in this competition". I felt Simon's sincerity while saying that. Okay! All in all, for me, Kris had a great song choice...nice vocals...and yeah, terrific performance! Keep it up!


4. LIL ROUNDS
-She sang the song "Independence Day". For me it sounded nice, but not that great. I think she really just wanna try something new rather than the usual. That's okay! But maybe the judges were really just up to the kinds of songs to which they fell in love with the last time. So all I can say is that, it's nice to do something new, but sometimes, you really should just stick to the songs to which you're known to be better. Well then, she just have to put a 'LIL' work on that.


5. ADAM LAMBERT
-Adam chose the song "Ring of Fire".
Whew! "What the hell was that"? as Simon said.
I think that explained it all. Adam Lambert? Country songs? Oh no! Country music really, isn't Adam's music. He knows that! It's just... It's somehow interesting watching him singing those kinds of songs, moving like that, plus that weird Egyptian thing. My sister mentioned Cleopatra because of that performance... LOL... And also, both she and my brother were almost questioning me about Adam's... hmm... what do you call that? It's somehow about "masculinity" or "manhood", I think.. hehe.. But don't worry! I, of course don't question him. It's just his performance that bothered my siblings. They don't know him personally, okay?
Anyway, I still believe he has very nice vocals. He's true to who he is as an artist. And that suits me!


6. SCOTT MACINTYRE
-Scott sang "Wild Angels". He sang it nice. Again, he played the piano and he's really comfortable with it. But I guess, it's very similar to what he did last time. And that makes his performance tonight a bit predictable for me. I think it would be nice if he'll show us something different the next time.
Go for high notes, dude! We'll love to see that!


7. ALEXIS GRACE
-She sang Dolly Parton's "Jolene". I remember Brooke White also sang this song in the Dolly Parton week, back in the previous season of Idol. And if I'm not mistaken, she sang it with her guitar, right?
Anyway, let's go back to Alexis. Her version is nice. I liked it. She is somehow also showing a different side of her, you know, her 'soft' side. But, yeah, I guess the judges just want to see more of her 'dirty' side rather than that.


8. DANNY GOKEY
-Oh...Danny! He just sang "Jesus Takes the Wheel", one of my Carrie Underwood favorites. He messed up a bit when he sang it in front Randy Travis. But when he performed it on stage, for me, he had done it well. He's a great singer. Forget what Simon said about what he's wearing. It looks good on him, anyway.


9. ANOOP DESAI
-Anoop sang "You Were Always On My Mind". Wow! Anoop's back! He proved that he really deserves to be there in the show. And what he did now is just a heart-felt performance that Paula said he had touched her heart.
Simon said that Anoop managed to go from zero to hero, and that, it's one of his favorite performances tonight. It's like he seemed to get back what he said last time that Anoop isn't deserving to be in the top 13 because of his performances that time.
Randy said he likes the arrangement.
Kara said it's probably the best performance of the night 'cause it really is a big surprise.
Anne Catherine said that...oooppsss...haha...kiddin'...that's my name, isn't?...LOL
Wow! I didn't even noticed I've memorized all four judges' comments. Perhaps this is how surprises work on me. But of course, it's not always like that, sometimes only.


10. MEGAN JOY CORKREY
-Hmmm...wait a second! I'm just little confused. What's really the spelling of this girl's surname huh? Is it Corkrey, or Corkery? Uhh, no matter what, let's just talk about her performance tonight...
Megan sang "I Go Walking After Midnight".
Wow! What a great song choice for her. Even though she had flu, or she still has it tonight, I think, she sang very well. This made Paula and Simon say that she should just be sick every week like this one, because she really done great tonight.


11. Matt Giraud
-Matt sang "So Small". And again, it's a Carrie Underwood song.
Randy said it's his favorite performance of the night.
Simon said that he's quite similar to Danny, probably because both their song choices are Carrie Underwood hits. But tonight, Simon thinks that Matt out sang Danny.
Oh well, for me, Matt performed really great tonight. But if I were to compare him to Danny...uhh... I don't know. These two guys are both amazing artists. The only thing that matters is just about their performances each week. One maybe better this week, the other is not. And the next week, vice versa. Hmmm... But wait, it can also be both great, right? So that's how it is!



There you go!
At last...I'm finished...
I guess this post's a bit longer now, isn't?

Uhh... this is a lot of hard work for me, you know, having to tell each and everyone's performances.
But it's okay! This is what a blogger/writer really does. And I'm happy with what I'm doing.
That's all that counts, right?^_^

Now, let's just see who among these 11 will make it to to the next round.

Don't forget to watch tomorrow night's results!
