Vanessa from Gossip Girl is in audience!!
Simon said it's open competition and everyone were good at last night show after watching it back. Hmm I smell something funny!!
Group performance "I Don't Mean A Thing" cuap cuap cuap cuap & "I've Got Rhytm". Love it. I miss Melinda because of this performance reminds me of her. I want her to appear on Idol,please.
OMG!!They're doing the 2 groups thing!! Suspense suspense!!
Matt & Kris are in the left stage. Danny & Allison are in the right stage. Adam has to pick which group he belongs in. He picks Danny & Allison group. Unfortunately,it's wrong!! Adam,Kris,and Matt are in bottom 3!! SHOCKER!! I'm so upset right now. I can't believe it!!
Natalie Cole's performance is good. Her vocal is weak though. She's stretching her vocal too much in the last half of the performance.
Taylor Hicks is okay. I'm just not a fan of that genre but he's definitely a performer. The first winner who wasn't my fave back then but I loved all of his performance on Idol. Other winner,I didn't like while on the show like David Cook.
Adam,Kris and Matt being brought up in the stage again. Kris is safe. OMG!! I can't believe it. I'm crying!! I almost faint because of the intense drama.
Jamie Foxx performs "Blame It". It doesn't tear up Midwest like what he promised on Ryan's radio,I say. It's not that polarizing of a performance like ROF. And he promotes his movie LOL at least he has many great things to say about all contestants and not rambling on.
Matt's going home,Adam is safe. Fiuh. As long as Kris safe,goodbye Matt. I still believe you have much more potential within you and I hope all Matt fans can vote for Kris next week to oust Danny Gokey. We have to make an upset,guys!!Yes,We Can!!
Matt's exit performance is rather somber. And Paula is babbling on about 40 millions fans. WTH!! It's not that many (the viewers) and not all the viewers fan of Matt. They are divided into 5 contestants.
I can't wait for Rock & Roll Week with Slash as a mentor. Racing my heart again if they throw Kris under a bus or a tank.

American Idol Season 8 Top 5 Performances (Rat Pack Week)
It's Rat Pack Week A.K.A the worst week ever in America Idol's theme this year for me personally.
OMG!!This show is really dragging on like snail. They wasted time on Jamie Foxx & commercial.
- Kris Allen (props for Jamie because he praised Kris and saying that Kris is ready to record right now and he wanted to do a duet with him. Cool. Btw it's solid good performance from Kris,a bit meh. And WTF!!! with Simon. I'm tired of his bullshit. It doesn't matter when someone emanates an aura for the Finale or not)
- Allison Iraheta (pretty awful at the beginning with the phrasing or diction but picks it up in the end. It's not as good as Katharine McPhee's version but great. Watch out,Allison!! Simon releases his tank to buldoze everyone except Adam and Danny tonight)
- Matt Giraud (urgh it's too mechanical & looks like audiobook. I don't like the almost tuneless phrasing of this performance. Might be the worst performance by Matt for me. He didn't do anything for me. Simon's wrong. Tonight was bad. It's on the way to become the worst jazz week ever)
- Danny Gokey (Katharine McPhee owned every part of this song's performance and Danny didn't do justice for me,even in a tiny bit. It's awful. Randy is so idiot for bringing up it doesn't matter if you connect to audience or not. Hell,it's matter. And Kara for bringing up swagger thing. WHAT!!! And Simon for praising Danny to the heaven. WHAT!!!. I really want to end this show right now. It jumped the big whale tonight (shark is understatement). Awful awful)
- Adam Lambert (the beginning was great,after that he lost me. It's officially the worst week ever)
I had high hopes for tonight's theme but my God,it's awful performance back to back. I don't know who will go home tomorrow. Might be Matt.
My rank:
1. Kris Allen
2. Allison Iraheta
3. Adam Lambert
4. Matt Giraud
5. Danny Gokey

David Archuleta Video Blog Tour with McFly
He looks so mature right now speaking about everything but of course,he's still laughing as usual. LOL. But anyway I'm looking forward for his 2nd album. Although I want more singles from his 1st album. I don't want that album to just produced 2 or 3 singles.

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 Disco Week iTunes Recording Review
Whew it took me few days to download this,until yesterday I wasn't able to download all the songs,dunno why,the internet was sucks.
- Adam Lambert (the first impression is pretty slow arrangement on this recording,it's way slower than the live version.I'm not fond of this arrangement.Until the end of the song,I don't like this at all.Too slow.)
- Allison Iraheta (while Adam sometimes misses his mojo on the recording version,it's not like that with Allison.Her vocal and the arrangement is spot on. I love this recording. They make her vocal smoother in a good way,still rock-ish but not too rough. Perfect for the song)
- Anoop Desai (okay,I will totally miss Anoop. I mean in major way. His iTunes song is so good!!The beat is so catchy,his vocal is flawless,the combination of those element are perfect,not like the live version which is a little bit weird.Put this song on the radio and promote it,I bet it will become a hit)
- Danny Gokey (BIG FAIL!!!again for Danny. Hate the recording since the beginning,the vocal is all over the place,the arrangement is weird,don't like any single part of it whatsoever)
- Kris Allen (uh oh,the bandzilla is appearing again.I already heard it from everybody and now I'm listening to it myself. It will be so much better if Kris lose all the band and just record like what the live version was. This recording is pretty good,just the bandzilla ruined it.)
- Lil Rounds (good,maybe suitable for disco party at your home but not that great. I don't feel any umph from the recording)
- Matt Giraud (practically the worst recording from Matt.The vocal is awful,the enunciation is rambling,and everything is trainwreck)
Overall: bad week for the iTunes Recording,much like Motown Week recording.

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 (Again!!) Result Show
First they group singing in the super tight dance outfit. Kris looks hot. The dance made me LMAO.Good job,Paula!!
Lil is being walked to the far side of the stage. Are they doing the 2 groups of 3 people again this year??Unfortunately NOT!! Lil is going home. Bye bye!! Pretty good sing out!!
Who the hell were the guest performer??It's the worst performances ever on Idol. The first lady can't sing at all,she looks like someone's mom being forced to sing on the stage. The second lady's outfit is so horrible,it's bordering on tramp outfit. The last guy looks like a drunken uncle with no singing talent whatsoever. The combination of those 3 guest performers make the worst scene ever on Idol and I don't intend to watch it again.
Kris is safe. Yay!!! At last,I get full point on my Fun Office Pool!!
Danny is safe!!Shit!!I hoped he go home for shocker but oh well.....
Allison is in bottom 3!!What what what!!
David Archuleta performs "Touch My Hand" and his voice isn't good at all. It sounds very tired!! Btw here his vlog after his performance:
He's so nice though for talking to the bottom 2 and give them advice.
Anoop goes home. I'm sad. Where is his humongous fans???Why he always in bottom 3 week after week??I'm puzzled.
Next week is jazz week or rat pack week.
Lil is being walked to the far side of the stage. Are they doing the 2 groups of 3 people again this year??Unfortunately NOT!! Lil is going home. Bye bye!! Pretty good sing out!!

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 (Again!!) Performances (Disco Week)
- Lil Rounds (oh Lil!!You sing this song too soft. You're terrible at disco. There is no week where you can shine. Go home please!! Everybody who have been believing in you all along must not have an ears. I always doubt your capability and I'm right!! This song isn't supposed to sing like that,it's supposed to sing with loud and strong voice. Too bad your voice is too weak.)
- Kris Allen (OMG!!!I'm so freaking happy. Kris doesn't stumble this week,y'all!! He proves everybody wrong once again. He's very smart at arranging his song choice,very artistic as always,and blow everybody away. Complete with praise from the judges. I'm glad.)
- Danny Gokey (he's really stretching his voice on this one,although I love the song but the high notes were very painful tonight for me. It's not usual for Danny to be screechy at the high notes but I think his vocal on the upper register already worn out. One of his worst performance.)
- Allison Iraheta (weird arrangement,horrible outfit making her appearance too old for her age,but love the vocal and it's pretty good overall.)
- Adam Lambert (he can never do wrong,can't he!! He's definitely a God like his fans said. It's so beautiful and touching my heart. I'm crying. Paula's crying. Showstopper performance.)
- Matt Giraud (I'm not feelin' it. I really prefer him singing rock songs than this. The vocal is too much and all over the place. The falsetto is painful. The riff is everywhere. Very desperate. I'm beginning to hate Matt's live performance.)
- Anoop Desai (beautiful vocal as always. I love the beat so much. It's so catchy. But combining his vocal with the arrangement isn't working at all. Somebody should fire the mixer or arranger of this performance. Btw the good thing is,I've been on the fence on whether I want Anoop or Matt to stay longer,and now I want Anoop to stay longer and Matt to go home. At least Anoop delivers a perfect pitch vocal every week whereas Matt's vocal always horrendous at falsetto and riffing).
My ranking:
1. Kris Allen
2. Adam Lambert
3. Anoop Desai
4. Allison Iraheta
5. Matt Giraud
6. Danny Gokey
7. Lil Rounds
Overall: not trainwreck at all like what I had expected.

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 iTunes Recording Review
- Adam Lambert (too much mixing for Adam,it'd be a lot of better if they tone down the music surrounding his voice so that Adam's voice can apparent in the whole recording but overall not bad)
- Allison Iraheta (I don't understand why a lot of people complain about the raspiness in Allison's voice. It's great. She's recording goddess. I definitely can see her compete with Pink and Kelly Clarkson. Her voice is amazing and all that saying that it sounds like hoarse smoking woman is absurd. I love this recording)
- Anoop Desai (OMG!!I think this is the best recording this week. I always get goosebumps and tears up listening to this recording. His voice is perfect and flawless. Please,America!!Save Anoop!! Don't let him go home yet and fight the judges and producers's plan to throw him under the bus every week)
- Danny Gokey (I feel that this will be one of Danny's best recording. He isn't trying too hard to sound good. He just sing it well and slow and soft. I love it!! He doesn't ruin this song)
- Kris Allen (at first I was a little bit weirded out by the recording. I didn't feel it at all like the live version but after I listen to it few times,it's growing on me. The original song is exactly sounds like this and Kris sings it well. A lot of people love it and me too!! Kris pours enough conviction and heart to this song)
- Lil Rounds (for me,I love her performance and this recording too. I thought this week is Lil's best. Remember,I never like her at all since the beginning and don't understand all the fuzz about her vocal prowess but I'll give props to her this week. The recording is very good!!)
- Matt Giraud (as always Matt sounds fantastic on the recording. It's like heaven and earth. When he performs live sometimes his voice cracks but when he performs on the studio,it's heaven. I know that it's the editing but still watch out for Matt's recording career,it's gonna be huge)
- Allison Iraheta (I don't understand why a lot of people complain about the raspiness in Allison's voice. It's great. She's recording goddess.

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 Result Show
The group song this week is fantastic. I love it that Kris opens up the performance and walking to the judges and why Allison wears pajama???? While Danny and Adam at the top floor (Top 2 in the future??)
Zac Efron is gorgeous.
Anoop is in bottom 3 again. I hope his spirit is still strong and not crushed because of this back to back bottom 3 he had. Just keep doing a great performance and you will be fine. Certainly,don't try to do uptempo song again.
Jennifer Hudson was very good. I love the song. Definitely outsang Lil on every level.
Kris is safe!!Dial Idol is crashing down right now in their prediction. BIG FAIL!!
Lil is in bottom 3 and Matt too.
Anoop is safe!!Yay!!
Miley Cyrus is good!!F*ck Jamie Foxx for telling Miley to make sex tape and do heroin like every other stars. Give the kid a break,will you!!
Simon says he will consider save someone and they will be surprise. Oh,better not be Lil!!
Matt is the lowest vote getter!! WTH!! Who is voting for Lil??I wanna know. She's like a cockroach that never died.
The judges SAVE Matt!!Woah!! The kids all so excited and hug each others. 2 people will go home next week (sigh) and disco is the theme. Eeww!!

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 Performances (Movie Soundtrack Theme)
- Allison Iraheta (little bit out of tempo at the beginning or maybe too low of a key in the band but she compensated really well in the end. Overall,it's better than David Cook. I love the raspy voice of hers and somewhat different feeling of the song)
- Anoop Desai (OMG!!The best vocal I've heard this season. Tender,strong,heartfelt,full of conviction,none off notes,on pitch all the way to the end. Anoop's best performance to date by a million light years miles. He definitely doesn't deserved to go home yet)
- Adam Lambert (very good and entertaining to the max but little bit screechy for me. I doubt many people will like that. It will be one of those polarizing performance again from Adam. However,I love his style tonight,he looked so handsome and cool. I bet many girls are dying watching that and many boys too)
- Matt Giraud (I love the performance but he's really struggling singing this difficult song. He cracked at the bridges. I prefer Daughtry's version but Matt still did a solid job. Not a trainwreck at all for sure)
- Danny Gokey (100% agree with Paula. The beginning was excruciating but in the middle through the end he killed it. It's one of his best performance so far and I love his deliverence of the lyrics. Good job,Danny!!)
- Kris Allen (obscure song indeed but very good performance and amazing vocal although I thought the performance was way too short compared to the other contestants. And I was holding my breath throughout his performance,worrying if he hit the right notes or not and he did!! Yay!!)
- Lil Rounds (I'll never believe it but Lil sang beautifully. It's her best performance. I thought Simon didn't have to buldoze her like that,it's just making her gaining million sympathy votes. And she's really good at this performance,I have to admit)
Overall,tonight was perfect. It's the best night so far this season and arguably since 2006 (Big Band's Week). Btw WTH!!! with the 2 judges team format. Please I want all 4 judges's opinion and don't waste the time with Ryan chatting with the contestants and the judges playing with each other. Straight to performance,please!!

American Idol Season 8 Top 8 iTunes Recording Review
- Adam Lambert (excellent recording voice from Adam since the beginning of the song,beautifully soft vocal with the perfect arrangement. I get goosebumps hearing this)
- Allison Iraheta (I love her vocal and it's the perfect song too,meaning you should buy this song.Review isn't necessary for Allison,she's ready for recording career)
- Anoop Desai (beautiful vocal from Anoop,he's navigating throught he song with the perfect tempo and doesn't make me bored to sleep and not karaoke at all. Great job!!)
- Danny Gokey (at least it's not as horrible as the live version of it. Although I feel kinda weird listening to Danny's soft voice in the beginning of the song and I still hate the arrangement)
- Kris Allen (love the vocal but the song is meh. It's really an awful week for Kris. Although his sometimes growl and raspy breath compensate for that)
- Lil Rounds (beautiful instrument and band,perfect for dancing in the beach but Lil's vocal is karaoke at best)
- Matt Giraud (Matt outdid himself every week in the recording area,his live is bordering on trainwreck for some people but his recording voice is heaven. Although I still abhor the "yeahhh" thingie in the song,it's bombing my ear and makes it bleeding)
- Scott MacIntyre (the perfect song for bringing me to bed. I'm not kidding. Too bad I still have so many to do after this,if not I'd be getting to bed real fast because of this song)
- Allison Iraheta (I love her vocal and it's the perfect song too,meaning you should buy this song.Review isn't necessary for Allison,she's ready for recording career)

American Idol Season 8 Top 8 Result Show
Frankie Avalon sang for Simon and Simon was so embarassed because of it. He's really old.
The group performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head". It's very lazy in the arrangement,the harmonization was awful,but we can see that Adam and Allison excel in that performance. I think they would do great in dance week.
Kris is safe!!OMG!!!I'm so overjoyed and excited. I can't believe it,I thought he'd go home.
Anoop is in bottom 3!!Don't go home,Anoop. You performed one of your best last night.
Flo Rida is meh and not appropriate for the show. Imagine,conservative family seeing that. Oh,the horror.
Scott is in bottom 3!! Lil Rounds is in bottom 3!! The world is fair after all.
Kellie Pickler worked the stage with "Best Day of Your Life" but she didn't work her voice at all. Almost trainwreck. Reminds me of her worst performance in Idol.
Lil is safe!!F*ck!!
Anoop is safe!!Hooray!!Btw only 30,000 votes separate between him and Scott!!WTH!!Who's voting for Scott???I demand the list right now.
Scott is going home. Please don't save him,judges!! I don't want pity party for blind guy. And finally,Scott is really going home.
Next week,I hope Lil goes home to make way of the best Top 6. I'd spare Danny today because his fans save Kris Allen from the bottom 3.
Next week's theme is movie soundtrack theme. Interesting!!
The group performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head". It's very lazy in the arrangement,the harmonization was awful,but we can see that Adam and Allison excel in that performance. I think they would do great in dance week.
Kris is safe!!OMG!!!I'm so overjoyed and excited. I can't believe it,I thought he'd go home.
Anoop is in bottom 3!!Don't go home,Anoop. You performed one of your best last night.
Flo Rida is meh and not appropriate for the show. Imagine,conservative family seeing that. Oh,the horror.
Scott is in bottom 3!! Lil Rounds is in bottom 3!! The world is fair after all.
Kellie Pickler worked the stage with "Best Day of Your Life" but she didn't work her voice at all. Almost trainwreck. Reminds me of her worst performance in Idol.
Lil is safe!!F*ck!!
Anoop is safe!!Hooray!!Btw only 30,000 votes separate between him and Scott!!WTH!!Who's voting for Scott???I demand the list right now.
Scott is going home. Please don't save him,judges!! I don't want pity party for blind guy. And finally,Scott is really going home.
Next week,I hope Lil goes home to make way of the best Top 6. I'd spare Danny today because his fans save Kris Allen from the bottom 3.
Next week's theme is movie soundtrack theme. Interesting!!

American Idol Season 8 Top 8 Performances (Songs From The Year They Were Born)
Who was that scary man in the beginning of the show?? Ohh okay,he's from Fringe. He scared me.
Now on to the review:
- Danny Gokey (I hated the arrangement. I wanted to like him but I can't. The beginning was good and he lost me for the rest of the song. David Archuleta's version literally annihilated this one)
- Kris Allen (oh woah,I didn't like it. It's karaoke and his worst performance to date. It didn't do anything for me. I had expected spectacular performance from Kris but oh well sometimes even a great contestant can stumble. Definitely wrong song choice but it's not trainwreck,it's still tolerable to my ear)
- Lil Rounds ( I liked it. The judges blasted her with all they've got though. It's expected. She hasn't done anything good to deserve on the show one more week. It's time to go home,Lil)
- Anoop Desai (Anoop rebounded again. I love that he always rebounds when in the previous week he was horrible. And I believe he still has more potential in his vocal area to do acrobatic vocal. He has the chops. Watch for the tempo and the melody though,it's always bordering on boring or sleepy. Plus,his fans should sue Randy. It's ridiculous that he said Anoop is better on soul songs while he's always insisting for Anoop to sing uptempo ones. I'm so upset with Randy. Btw fire the director too,the camera is getting worse)
- Scott MacIntyre (it's great that he can play electric guitar but his delivery was very awkward. It's like William Hung 2.0 and the high notes were too much to handle for me. It's so bad and BIG FAIL!!!! Please go home tomorrow,Scott!!)
- Allison Iraheta (OMG!!!I love this performance. The best performance of the night. I knew from the beginning that if she sang this song it'd be amazing. Tender,heartfelt,has rock-ish tone in her voice but not too much. Just the perfect combination. Great job!!)
- Matt Giraud (hmm good but the notes in the end were awful. It's beyond me that the judges didn't call him on that one but blasted him last week.)
- Adam Lambert (a hauntingly beautiful performance. It's like a game soundtrack too,melody wise. No one can reach Adam at this point. He's too far ahead in the competition. I hope it's between him,Allison and Kris in the finale 3)
My ranking:
1. Allison Iraheta
2. Adam Lambert
3. Anoop Desai
4. Kris Allen
5. Matt Giraud
6. Lil Rounds
7. Danny Gokey
8. Scott MacIntyre

American Idol Season 8 Top 9 iTunes Studio Recording Review
- Adam Lambert (now this is way much better than the live version,I love the instrument they play in this song,it's the same instrument as Kanye's Heartless (I forget the name of those instrument) and they mix Adam's voice,background vocal and the instrument in a fabulous way)
- Allison Iraheta (imagine the original version of Don't Speak by No Doubt and replace Gwen with Allison. It sounds like that for me. I don't have anything more to say)
- Anoop Desai (beautiful vocal,Anoop but it's just karaoke all over again for me. Sigh.)
- Danny Gokey (oh my....I'm gonna cry,not because the song is beautiful but because how bad the early notes are,it's too low and Danny's voice is like in the pit of the volcano and he suddenly screams the notes is a major NO NO!!! I'm not likin' his recording either)
- Kris Allen (oh Kris....your voice is always perfect and you have the capability to perform both live and in recording with the maximum power and not giving it less than that. You have the same trait like my fave singer,Celine Dion. I love it that when she's singing live,it has the same quality with the recording and vice versa. And I agree with everyone that Kris's recording is very short.)
- Lil Rounds (OMG!!!I love love Lil's recording. Great job,Lil!!! Although I noticed some cracks in her voice but this recording is one of the best this week for me. It's much more alive,flowing and major spicy LOL)
- Matt Giraud (oh wow!!!Matt's recording definitely priceless,it has the same strength like The Fray. And his vocal in this recording is million times better than in live. Matt's ready for recording career,he just needs guidance in his live performances. I think Matt's recording is the best this week.)
- Megan Joy (Megan always delivers unique recording every week and I love her for that. She definitely sounds like the female version of Bob Marley in this song. She's way better in recording than live because the studio can edit her phrasing,intonation,and vocal to make the perfect recording. Different with the live,sometimes excel,many times trainwrecks)
- Scott MacIntyre (something in the background bothers me,maybe it's the keyboard sound. It's like ringing and disturbing my ear,despite that Scott's vocal is pretty good)
The best is Matt after that Kris,Lil and Megan. Great recordings this week.
- Allison Iraheta (imagine the original version of Don't Speak by No Doubt and replace Gwen with Allison. It sounds like that for me. I don't have anything more to say)
- Anoop Desai (beautiful vocal,Anoop but it's just karaoke all over again for me. Sigh.)

American Idol Season 8 Top 9 Result Show
Group song was horrible,it's lip-sync again. Gosh,I hate the lip-sync. Please,eradicate it all together. Btw there goes Adam's chance to sing "Don't Stop Believing".
Danny's impersonation of Matt's vibrato was ouch. The same with Anoop's impersonation of Kris's jaw when he's singing. That jokes are so offensive,kudos for anyone who doesn't take it to heart.
WTH!!!Ryan said one group is in bottom 3 so it's Megan's group then!!Oh no,Kris!!!
David Cook performs "Come Back To Me". I'm not likin' it.
Kris is safe!!Thanks God!!I thought it was bottom 3 group!!
Matt is safe!!LOL at Kris saying to Matt "It's April Fools,sucker!!"
Megan is in bottom 3,then doing bird flapping to the stool.LOL
Allison is in bottom 3. Where the heck are her fans??? It seems she doesn't have enough boost to take her all the way to the top.
Danny is safe,pompous as always. Anoop is in bottom 3.
Lady Gaga is awesome. I LOVE IT!!! I want more.
Allison is safe!!Yippiee!!Anoop is safe,Megan is the one who's going home and Simon doesn't bother to save her. WTF!! That's so rude,Simon.
I think Megan has right to her opinion,it's very confusing to adhere to judges's desires and people's desires. You got to choose which one to follow. Saying yes to both of them and you end up looking like Matt. Btw bye bye Megan. I'll miss you. I'm bummed that you haven't released your full potential yet. I wanted you to sing one song by Bjork and I'm sure it'd be masterpiece but oh well.....what can I do.

American Idol Season 8 Top 9 Performances (Top Download Songs)
- Anoop Desai (let me feelin' it????Hmm....I'm definitely not feelin' it at all. It's just like karaoke again for me. Maybe he should've picked a song that highlight his vocal and in the same time,could give him a perfect time to work the stage. Right there in the middle between balladeer and karaoke-ing. Unfortunately,he hasn't.)
- Megan Joy (very lackluster performance.I liked the song but her performance lacks energy and she looked ill. However,when I listened to the audio,it's very good.)
- Danny Gokey (OMG!!!the pimping. I can't stand it any longer. At the beginning,when I heard him gonna sing "What Hurts The Most" I thought it could be a moment for Danny but it didn't. It's not stellar,just good. When you listen to the audio,it's getting worse with the voice cracks and everything. I see that Danny can't sustain long notes,he always tends to scream when he's singing. He isn't worthy of the title frontrunner anymore. Kris and Allison beat him by a bajillion miles)
- Allison Iraheta (I hate this song and she looked like a rockstar wannabe but after watching it again and listening it on the audio. It's pretty good. When I watched it the 1st time,I thought it was a big fail though.)
- Scott MacIntyre (woah,I thought I'd never gonna say this but this is the best performance so far and his best to date. I'm proud of him for proving me wrong. He deserved to stay another week. The funny thing was I thought in the beginning that he'd bore me again with the same AC shit but I'm glad that he performed great)
- Matt Giraud (I love love this performance. I vehemently disagreed with the judges. WTF!! with them. They make him confuse. They are trying to bring him down. I hope Matt's fans can save him. I thought that was one of the best performance of the night)
- Lil Rounds (her best performance to date although I thought she had many off pitch parts in the high notes. Anthony Fedorov outsang her on this song)
- Adam Lambert (ouch,his worst performance ever. It's so screechy,my ears were bleeding. I felt like in the freak show. I abhorred this performance)
- Kris Allen (OMG!!!I'm so proud of my boy,Kris. He's getting better and better every week. Although I didn't like the song but his performance was spectacular. His vocal in this song was amazingly perfect. The best performance of the night!!! Kris's getting a huge boost definitely because of this smart performance)
My ranking:
1. Kris Allen
2. Matt Giraud
3. Scott MacIntyre
4. Lil Rounds
5. Allison Iraheta
6. Danny Gokey
7. Megan Joy Corkrey
8. Adam Lambert
9. Anoop Desai
Overall,the latter part of the show was better than the first part. Anoop has been losing my support tremendously and I'm so glad that I jumped to Kris Allen's bandwagon since Group 2 although I already noticed him since audition. I predict it will be the first time that not just 2 or 3 but 4 or 5 maybe 6 contestants are battling it out for the Finale. All the darkhorses already bring their nuclear power to defeat the early frontrunner.
