American Idol Top 9 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[pepperw23]

Wow Lil, that was just uncomfortable!

BK, who am I voting for?

 

[Nancy]

BUT Lil is totally right, they tell her to make a song her own, she does that and Simon says "but this was a Bette Midler song" like she should not have changed it all. Tells Danny it is ok to change a Lionel Ritchie song but she can't change a Bette song???

 

[DarthKTrava]

So what was Paula's critique? Did she basically say she was going home?


I agree with Simon. I did not like this version at all. And now she is getting mouthy with Simon

I think she's gotten frustrated with the judges, possibly mainly Simon....

You know, it was nice that Lil tried to put a gospel/R&B spin on the Rose, but it just didn't work. OMG that last note was just BAD. And then to get lippy with Simon just turns me off her even more. Wah, wah, wah, cry baby either suck it up or go home.

 

[DarthKTrava]

Yeah, not a bright idea.

It certainly didn't work.... they still ran over.

Oh yeah..last note...

Eww have fun with that.

Lil and Matt can both go home as far as I'm concerned.

G'night everyone!! I have to print out my tax returns...

Uggg I hate those things. I got mine all done, just need to hit submit as soon as DH tells me the final tax number later (nothing like waiting till the last minute)

Lil wasn't as screechy as she has been, but I agree with Simon. I think she's peaked. I haven't seen anything that would make her any different than other singers. She usually tries to incorporate other singers' mannerisms into her performance. Often her singing reminds me of Whitney, the other week she was dancing across the stage like Tina Turner when singing a Tina song.

This isn't a competition for a tribute band. That's also what bugs me about Matt .. he's trying to be like Justin Timberlake. It's one thing to be inspired by an artist; it's another to copy.

Nite Robin!

Bust out the popcorn...It's MOVIE NIGHT on Idol!! I loves me some music from the movies, and I'm an even bigger fan of Quentin Tarantino. Should be quite a night seeing how he influenced the performers.

Right off the bat, let me just say THANK YOU to Idol for putting the kibash on all the talkity-talk-talk. Last week's run-over was inexcusable. Now, on with the show!!!

Allison Iraheta: "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing". This song has been done to friggin' death. Was there NO other choice for her?? Gah! What is she wearing? Looks like pajama pants. This is a decent performance from her, but the song evokes a boring feel overall. I expect more from her, but she did the best with what she had.

Anoop Desai: "Everything I Do" Once again a song that has been done more than Debbie in Dallas. Who's making these song choices?? My Tivo just did some wacky skip thing....This may be one of my favorite performances from Anoop though. I liked the changes he made to it and it felt "from the heart". Goosebumps Anoop!

Adam Lambert: "Born To Be Wild"...well we all know that! This could be very very corny. Well, it's current sounding, but the refrain seems a bit SILLY. There...I said it. But who doesn't just love WATCHING him hahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!! Shriek baby, shriek!

Matt Giraud: "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman". AGAIN an over done song. Adam managed to choose a song outside the box, why can't the rest of them? Lose the pork pie hat man (in the tape footage). He looks constipated. I would have liked the song better with just him and the piano (maybe with one backup singer sprawled on the piano and could sing to her?). This isn't my favorite performance of his (his voice cracked several times and he completely lost tune). Overall a bit of a wreck.

Danny Gokey: "Endless Love" ZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz....wha? Huh? Oh is Danny going to sing this snoozer now? Okay...Underwhelming, Like he's singing at a wedding. So Disappointing that he didn't do more with it.

Kris Allen: "Falling Slowly". Well at least it's something I am unfamiliar with so it'll be "new". It started a bit weak, but it got cooking once his voice woke up. Everything about Kris is current, relevant...NOW. Does that make sense?

Lil Rounds: "The Rose". Oh good, another song that has been been sung to death. Maybe her gospel thing will help. Oooh, there were some funky notes in there. Overall, she gave it a nice new flavor and she looks great! Not awful.

A night that left me wondering what the deal is. The show ran over again. Thank God I had the DVR recording FRINGE. Why can't they get the timing right on this show?

Top o' the heap:
Adam...uh doy!
Anoop
Kris

Middle o' the road:
Danny
Allison

Bottom o' the barrrel
Matt
Lil

Going home based on tonight? Matt. Though it is just as likely that Anoop or Lil might get the boot due to lack of popularity.

 

[TimeforMe]

Jennasis: Though I don't always agree with your assessments, I ALWAYS enjoy them.

I LOVED Kris Allen singing Falling Slowly, enjoyed Danny Gokey (sans eyeglasses, too) and my favorite dark horse, Anoop did great tonight! Adam, as always, is just the consummate showman.

 

[ShuisFan584]

My ranking for the night:
Adam
Anoop
Danny
Allison
Matt
Kris
Lil

The bottom 3 should be Matt, Kris, and Lil with hopefully Lil going home. I'm hoping Anoop stays out of the bottom this week. He deserves a break.

What a horribly boring show tonight- the only one that was interesting at all was Adam- the rest bored me to tears- especially Chris- UGG...

 

[TigerKat]

According to Dial idol Lil is getting a huge vote, go figure....

 

[GoofyforDisney3]

Video of Adam is up on Youtube already. It was just as good the third and forth time as the first time hearing it.

 

[GoofyforDisney3]

According to Dial idol Lil is getting a huge vote, go figure....

But that doesn't include text votes, right? Maybe all of her people are old fashioned and only call in instead of texting. (who am I kidding, I've never sent a text message in my life, how sad am I )

I could not agree more!
