American Idol Season 8 Top 5 iTunes Recording Review

- Adam Lambert (the arrangement,the high notes screaming and everything are make sense in this recording.He screams the note at the end which is the perfect way to end the song.Maybe this is one of Adam's best recording.His vocal is great and the feeling of the recording is much more stronger than the live)
- Allison Iraheta (after a while I already get used to Allison's weird slow diction in the first part of the song.This girl always scores on the recording.She imbues her rock voice within a jazz song and not make it awful.)
- Kris Allen (exquisite vocal from Kris Allen and lovely instruments from the band.If anyone is looking for jazz chart,this is the one.The tender vocal of Kris with impeccable phrasing is jackpot.One of his best recording indeed.Kris brings a jazz aura in the live version and in the recording version while everyone strays to their own territory.)
- Danny Gokey (the live version of Danny's performance is growing on me,but oh my....the recording is no no.It's too slow at the beginning and too shouty at the end.I can't stand listening to it anymore.)
- Matt Giraud (this recording is at least passable enough than the live. The scathing is okay. But the problem is the tempo is way too slow,even slower than Danny's CMCS. Almost makes me sleep. Not good recording from Matt,definitely his worst)
