Dialidol results right now are funny. The bottom contestant has no score. A few of the rankings I can't figure out but generally I agree.
The commercials for it were disgusting.
Do you have this line on a permanent copy and paste for the duration?![]()
anyone know what the code is for text voting, is it the last four numbers of the contestant?
That was the first time I have really liked Kris. Much better this week.
Oh, finally, Kara knows how to count!!
what is Matt's number?
I didn't get to watch the show!
please
It's probably way too early for it to tell anything useful.
Why is Megan on this show???? EVERYTHING she's sung has been just plain awful. I really hope she goes tonight.
It's on like Donkey Kong folks! Tonights theme is a fascinating one since we finally get to see/hear some stuff that is recent and relevant. Let's get it on!
Anoop Desai: Well he looks fantastic. His stage presence is definitely good, but this song is just terrible. Is it me or is it completely a-melodic? Usher did this? Blarf... Only partially Anoop's fault since the song sucked eggs to begin with.
Megan Joy: "Turn Your Lights Down Low"...hmmm...I don't love the choice, but she COULD make it into something ok. Here is the problem; aside from her wooden/awkward stage presence, her voice is monotone. It never changes. It always has the same sound! How does she make every note sound like the same thing? I thought for sure she'd do Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl or something. This was just a waste of airtime.
Danny Gokey: "What Hurts The Most"...I don't "do" country, but we'll see if he can make me sit up and take notice. He's got SUCH a nice tone to his voice, but something about this performance is leaving me a bit cold. The note he's hitting on the word "most" is totally nasally? And his last note was weak and flat. I think it's an unmemorable performance.
Allison Iraheta: "Don't Speak" could be RIGHT up her alley. How will she make it "hers"? First off, WHAT the heck-fire is she wearing and what did they do to her hair???? She seems to be rushing through and "chewing" on the song. Again, I am not feeling it tonight. Maybe it's me?
****SIDE NOTE****
WHY are the commercial breaks so freaking long tonight?? Seriously!
Scott McIntyre: "Just The Way You Are"...oh come on! If THIS is the music Scott wants to do then he needs the boot now. He sounds like a lounge singer. Bottom line, old, been-there-done-that, and not good enough. Hmph.
Matt Giraud: "You Found Me", well at least it's current. Ryan stepped all over the intro...thanks a lot. This is Goddawful. I have a problem with singers who pronounce "me" like "mehhhh" and this grates right along that nerve. The performance was so bad I can't even begin to describe it.
Lil Rounds: "I Surrender" Oh dear. She is singing COMPLETELY through her nose. This is another painful performance. Really..I surrender...jeeesh!
Adam Lambert: "Play That Funky Music"...aha...ahaha...Yes...just yes. HELL YES. The boy can SANG and work a stage like a professional. He makes me laugh and go to my happy place...THAT is how you entertain a crowd dangit!
***Side Note***
DH doesn't like Adam's Eddie Munster hair.
Kris Allen: "Ain't No Sunshine"...I don't care too much for the song in general, but we'll see. Not a fan of his "dirt-lip"...shave or grow a real 'stache dude! But on the rizzle? This is smokin' hotness. He stepped it UP. Another artist who knows who he is. Me likey!
Only a partial train wreck tonight! My final thoughts:
Top o' the heap
Adam
Kris
Middle o' the road
Danny
Scott
Lil
Bottom o' the barrel
Megan
Anoop
Allison
Matt
Going home? Megan...I hope.
Side Note: Since I recorded Idol, I also had the Osbournes thing recorded after. Seriously, after 5 minutes, there was enough bleeping that I was utterly shocked it was on network tv. Fingers crossed the show'll tank.

Since I missed out on tonight (darn work!), the reviews may be a little longer. I kinda missed hanging out with all you ladies (and my sole fellow male cohort Obi Wan are there any others of us here?) tonight.
Anoop Desai Caught Up Not a song that I enjoy at all, and at the beginning it sounded like he had marbles in his mouth, but I think he was vocally alright. I agree with Simon that, at this point, Anoop is very much coming across as a wannabe R&B artist. Hes definitely a smart guy and I appreciated the little post-chat with Ryan, but at this stage, Im not going to be upset when he goes.
Megan Joy Turn Your Lights Down Low That was Adam Lambert-caliber awful there. Absolutely one of the worst of the season.
Danny Gokey What Hurts the Most Probably Dannys best performance since making the Top 13 (and I swear I typed that prior to Simon saying that), but theres something about him that I dont like, but Im not sure what that is yet. I kinda like the gravely voice, he certainly seems like he connects to songs like this, but Im missing something with him.
Allison Iraheta Dont Speak I thought it was pretty good. I liked the acoustic beginning, but I felt like the arrangement didnt do her any favors. The last 30 seconds was only la la las. I realize thats the original song, but when you only get 90 seconds, it shouldnt be filled with trivial stuff. On a side note, I kinda liked the way she looked tonight.
Scott MacIntyre Just the Way You Are Im a huge Billy Joel fan, and the same cannot be said for Scott. It was fine probably his best performance (once again, I swear I typed that before Simon said it), but I dont like his voice and I probably never will. He goes for some weird notes that I just dont care for at all.
Matt Giraud You Found Me Really liked the set-up in the audience for some reason. This was fine. Nothing really special, but I think the judges gave him a much tougher time than he deserved. I do feel like Matt (like Danny) is very full of himself and its sort of turning me off of him.
Lil Rounds I Surrender Okay, this song takes vocal chops. And Lil does not have those chops. There were lots of bad notes in this one and I didnt think the belting at the end was any good. She simply yells and hits some high notes and thinks were supposed to applaud. Sorry, Lil its time for you to go home (well, okay Megan and Scott can go first, but you should be right after them). The judges were way too nice to her they keep raving about her and Ive yet to see the voice shine through.
Adam Lambert Play That Funky Music Much to my surprise, I had Adam in my Top of the Heap, but this week he was back to his horrendous (although on key) screeching. Adam, enjoy the trip to the Bottom of the Barrel. I really hated the arrangement it was way too much all over the place. I dont get him. That being said, he wasnt the worst of the night (Im talking to you, Megan and Lil)
Kris Allen Aint No Sunshine Love the song and Kris was, by far, the best of the night. I said it last week, but I want him to win this thing. I would buy Kriss music without a doubt. Great arrangement Im a sucker for any songs that utilize strong string arrangements (I dont know why, since I play the piano probably because Ive always wanted to learn to play the violin). Best of the night by a mile!
