IDOL RECAP – 4/14

This week’s theme was songs from movies and it turned out to be a really boring night. Too many ballads in a row put me to sleep, but a few people definitely stood out.

Allison – Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing – Great Song to begin with, but, for the first time, I was disappointed with her. It sounded a little too low for her for most of the song and it seemed like she just didn’t really care tonight. Could have been so much better.

Anoop – Everything I do, I do it for you – The only time I like Anoop is when he sings ballads and tonight he actually did an incredible job. I thought he might be the one to go home this week, but he may have just saved himself.

Adam – Born To Be Wild – well he’s obviously going to be screaming again tonight with this song. Solid performance. Tarantino loves him. I wonder if he’ll scream again next week.

Matt – To Love A Woman – Not really a song for American Idol. His voice is good, but I was bored. Next!

Danny – Endless Love – Boring. I’m officially over Danny tonight. Did anyone else here that really wrong note during the first verse?? His voice is so old fashioned…of course Paula would like it. Cougars love Danny.

Kris – Falling Slowly – He played his cards right again tonight. This guy’s a genius when it comes to this competition. Amazing performance tonight. Randy doesn’t have a clue about what’s good. R&B isn’t the only kind of music.

Lil – The Rose – Nice extensions. Good look for her tonight. Sadly, it’s time for her to go. I can’t believe she survived this long. What happened to the Lil Rounds we all met in the beginning. Maybe it was just the hype the show created that made us think she was great.
