They sang "I Gotta Feeling" for the group song,ouch the auto-tunes. It's getting more obvious everyday.
John Park got booted!! He has potential but he couldn't delivered on this show. Disappointment for many people and his fans. He performed a better rendition of Gravity though tonight,more vigor than two days ago.
Jermaine Sellers got axed!! Thanks God,of course God doesn't want Jermaine to taint His holy name any longer. I'm so ashamed that I rooted for him way back in audition.
Danny Gokey sang the hell out of his song,and after that he couldn't STFU!! I'm already neutral about him and now I hate him again. Always rambling rambling and rambling about everything. I abhorred him last year. It's good that he has a pretty good country career. Good for him.
Didi Benami's fate is on the line with her bad song choice yesterday,but Michelle Delamor got eliminated instead. I felt sorry for her. She seemed so sad yet pissed off.
Thanks God,Lacey Brown is still safe. It's the end of the line for Haeley Vaughn. Too bad we can't see the rising of female african american country singer like what the judges hoped for her. She's very inexperience and butchered every songs with her untrained vocal ability. All the girls cried so much because of her elimination. I guess,she's very likable,huh. They must love her so very much.

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 11 iTunes Studio Recording Review
At last I'm able to download all the songs. It's hard to find a site that allow my download manager to download smoothly. So here's my review:
- Kris Allen (I love his recording song. You guys should buy it!! It's so smooth and will touch your heart. He's definitely ready to record his voice)
- Scott MacIntyre (I'm glad that Scott redeem himself in this studio version,last week's studio was horrible and this is way better. Smooth,full of energy. Good job!!)
- Adam Lambert (hmm I like this one,the background sitar and all the instruments go all the way,definitely gives this song a Middle Eastern flavor with somewhat rock-ish tune)
- Alexis Grace (better than the live performance but I feel that Alexis hasn't showed her real knockout voice yet,I really want to hear her sing like what she sang in the introduction clip,when she's with her dad and sang "i can feel the rain...". That was fantastic voice,I want to hear that. But oh well.....she's already gone home)
- Allison Iraheta (love love love this recording,very rock country with raw voice. You can dance with this song LOL that's how good/fun it is)
- Anoop Desai (oh woah,million times way better than the live performance. It feels like Anoop is right here in my room singing it in front of me. His vocal is so smooth,tender,very suitable for this type of song. Must buy!!)
- Danny Gokey (WTF!!!He isn't singing the first verse,it's talking.It's like a child humming the song.BIG FAIL AGAIN!!! He's humming the second verse too and blast the chorus. One of the worst recording this week.I'm horrified by this recording. I'm not even liking the last part,if he'll be the winner of this season,Idol will definitely jump the shark the last time.)
- Lil Rounds (not bad!!I like her studio version. It's very enjoyable.)
- Megan Joy Corkrey (hmm I'm on the fence with this recording. The melody is better than the live performance but Megan's voice is still the same)
- Michael Sarver (karaoke at best)
- Matt Giraud (very different from Carrie's version which I love to death. It's my theme song of 2007 but I think Matt did a great job in his recording. I don't know that he has so many layer within his voice.)
- Kris Allen (I love his recording song. You guys should buy it!! It's so smooth and will touch your heart. He's definitely ready to record his voice)

Review of American Idol Season 8 Top 13 iTunes songs
Fortunately I'm able to download all of them and I'll review one by one:
- Kris Allen (almost the same with the live version one,he reminds me of Carrie Underwood and Celine Dion,where the singer's voice at live and recording is the same. It's very good,rather than singer who sucks at live performance)
- Alexis Grace (the more I listen to Alexis's voice,the more and more I'm seduced by it. It's so lovely and the recording is great)
- Scott MacIntyre (I think it's the worst recording out of Top 13. It's bland,lack of energy,very boring,plain. He needs to step it up his voice recording if he wants to make it as a singer)
- Matt Giraud (his voice sounds fantastic on recording)
- Michael Sarver (OMG!!!His voice is so flawless in here. It's the best recording out of all Top 13. I think he's ready for recording career although I know that he's not a strong vocalist)
- Adam Lambert (the recording is less screechy but less energy too. Talk about dilemma,huh. Sigh)
- Megan Corkrey (she puts in the same corkiness like in the live version)
- Lil Rounds (a good recording,almost same with the live version)
- Danny Gokey (pretty good vocal,he should be careful about his growl)
- Jasmine Murray (she's very suitable for recording business,her voice sounds very lovely on the song. If someone markets her well,I believe she'll be successful singer)
- Jorge Nunez (oh woah,it's so good. He can sing definitely!! His voice sounds very good on the recording and full of passion)
- Allison Iraheta (pretty sultry rock voice in this one)
- Anoop Desai (the same karaoke like the live version)

American Idol Season 8 Top 13 Performances (Michael Jackson's Themes)
I write this after I watched for the 2nd times:
- Lil Rounds (I disagree with the whole judges but Simon. It's good,not great. The second half of the song is better. I still don't get the hype about her. She's currently the weakest black divas on Idol I've known since I watched the show on Season 4)
- Scott MacIntyre (in the beginning it's great,I get a goosebumps but it starts going downhill after that. The band's sounds overwhelm Scott's voice. It's no good,I'm not enjoying the rest of his performance) ...after 2nd times watching,it's pretty neat but still too overwhelmed by the background sound
- Danny Gokey (a very good performance,I enjoy it so much. The beginning of the song is rather plain but through the end it picks up momentum and overall it really impress me. Great job)
- Michael Sarver (oh woah!!He's showing no sign of tanking tonight. It's arguably the best performance so far. He imbues his performance with tenacity,passion and everything he got. His voice really sounds good on this one.)
- Jasmine Murray (a little bit bland I think and too much repetitive on the chorus. It's like "I'll Be There" almost the entire times of her performance and the high notes is pretty pitchy sometimes)
- Kris Allen (pretty good performance,I love his guitar playing movement. Though I need to see more,cause I know he still got plenty of ammunition to show it to us in the weeks ahead. I hope Kris will make it through)
- Allison Iraheta (I'm sorry,Allison. That's atrocious. I don't like the song,the melody is awful,everything is horrible. I feel that I want to kill myself while I'm listening to this performance. It's like the scene of 1 million car crashes.)
- Anoop Desai (beat it already,it's trainwreck. I don't like his song choice at all. I'm waiting for someone to make me jump off my chair).....after 2nd watching,he's really cool though in his stage presence
- Jorge Nunez (it's not that bad but it's very boring. It's like he feels not right with his song choice,maybe the producers screwed his song choice)
- Megan Corkrey ( a breath of fresh air,although it's utterly out of the planet and bizarre performance but I like it. It's very unique and fun)
- Adam Lambert (Fabulous!!Fabulous indeed!! The best of the night. Extremely entertaining,fantastic,way above my expectation,I'm clapping the entire performance because I'm so excited. It's so good!!)....2nd watching,I love it more and more
- Matt Giraud (pretty good performance following a hugely popular Adam's performance. He could've done better though in my opinion,still I prefer him to sing it only with his voice and his piano. No need for the background band. It's really annoying and too overwhelm)
- Alexis Grace (way better than her last performance,one of the best of the night,it's like a mistress from other galaxy come to give us a visit and made our day)
My ranking:
1. Adam Lambert
2. Danny Gokey
3. Alexis Grace
4. Michael Sarver
5. Kris Allen
6. Megan Corkrey
7. Matt Giraud
8. Jasmine Murray
9. Scott MacIntyre
10. Lil Rounds
11. Anoop Desai
12. Jorge Nunez
13. Allison Iraheta
The 1st time I watched the show,I hated it but the 2nd times I begin to enjoy it and get used to Michael Jackson's song. Overall it's pretty good night.
Prediction of going home tomorrow: Jorge Nunez,Michael Sarver,Jasmine Murray (don't know which two)
- Lil Rounds (I disagree with the whole judges but Simon. It's good,not great. The second half of the song is better. I still don't get the hype about her. She's currently the weakest black divas on Idol I've known since I watched the show on Season 4)

American Idol Season 8 Group 1 Elimination
Oh what an atrocious night. Anoop was eliminated to give way to Michael Sarver,he's really passing through because of pity votes. I don't like tonight episode at all. Danny is through because he's talented (I agree) plus overpimping from the judges (yuck!!) and his dead wife story (I'm bored to death).
Alexis Grace is through yet I don't think she has any capability at all in the Top 12 compared to previous season.
Carly Smithson and Michael Johns perform "The Letter" tonight. It's great. Even one of them could defeat the 3 people who go to Top 12 tonight easily.
I hope the judges pick Anoop Desai,Stevie Wright,Ann Marie Boskovich for the wild card. And give Tatiana a chance to entertain us too.
Next week: I think Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud are definitely good to go on Top 12,for the girls it might be Jasmine Murray if she performs really well.

American Idol Season 8 Group 1 Performances
- Jackie Tohn (a pretty good entertaining performance but definitely she didn't use her chance to save herself tomorrow)
- Ricky Braddy (woah he's very good!!His vocal certainly WOWed me,I hope if he didn't make it tomorrow,the judges will pick him for the wild card)
- Alexis Grace (I don't know why but I didn't dig this performance much. Btw her dad looks like a shaman from Native American community LOL)
- Brent Keith (I sense an awkwardness in his performance. I really didn't like his performance at all)
- Stevie Wright (aww I feel bad for her. Great catchy song but a rather horrific performance. I want to like it but something hinders me. She's way better than this song. I want to see more vocal range from her)
- Anoop Desai (I think I got an orgasm watching this beautiful performance. It's very romantic for the girls out there and the vocal is flawless. The song is lovely too. I really hope he pass through tomorrow)
- Casey Carlson (OMG!!!What a disaster!!She's winking,the performance looks slutty,her face was awkward,her mouth opened like a swallowing statue or mouth of whale and her dance is horrendous)
- Michael Sarver (a pretty good performance for me)
- Ann Marie Boskovich (I love her performance although she could've done it better but considered many of the trainwreck girl performance tonight,she's one of the best)
- Stephen Fowler (pretty good for me but it's somewhat forgettable performance. He's toast)
- Tatiana Del Torro (where's Tatiana??She's so shy tonight. Nice performance though)
- Danny Gokey (he's pretty good but his performance was below my expectation. I had expected him to perform stellar like "I Hope You Dance" rendition but he didn't)

I rank my list based on how good the performance is,how I love the song,the stage present,etc. I definitely have a bias because if someone sing a song that I like very much,it's usually increase his/her point on my list despite how bad he/she is,if it's very worst performance,then he/she dies on my list.
