Allison – Don’t Want To Miss A Thing
Allison is first with I don’t want to miss a thing. I had a very strong feling that this would be one of the songs done tonight and I was so glad to find you that it’s Allison. She kills it as she usually does and Paula and Simon both agree. I agree that she’s just about the best the show has to offer. Previously I had predicted my top six. Allison is definitely top four. Depending on Matt and Kris she may even be top three.
Note: at 8pm tonight on one of the Starz movie channels Armageddon is playing. Coincidence?
Anoop Doggy Everything I Do I, I Do For You
Oh dear god, please let this half pint vocalist get voted off this week. I’m so tired of him taking good songs and half singing them so that he doesn’t mess up. Does anyone ever put out an album with all the tracks sounding like what Anoop does well? Hell, Luther Vandross, a man who is known to us all as a crooner and a smooth voice even had songs like stop to love. Now we let Scott go home last week. The man that we all know made it as far as he did because people knew he wasn’t a very great singer but we all wanted him to succeed. Anoop is the same thing. He’s a likeable kid, he’s the Slumdog, but his ride is over. Unless Kris shows us how weak he is this week Anoop’s performance here is weak enough for him to go home.
Adam = Born To Be Wild
Y’know, I’m trying to dislike this performance. He’s good. I can’t fault the guy at all. I have yet to vote for Adam this year and I probably won’t even tonight. He is on average the very best not only of this year but of any year. Simon obviously would like someone other than Adam to win. Somehow he found a negative. I can’t imagine. I will say this, one thing that may go wrong for Adam is what I believe went wrong for Chris Daughtry. When Daughtry lost I believe it’s because there were many viewers like me who believed that he was so damn good that he must be getting millions and millions of votes. While the other contenders supporters just kept dialing and dialing every week. If those viewers that like Adam take it for granted that there’s enough people just like them voting for Adam every week. Adam may wake up one week with fewer votes than lesser singers. Remember: the judges save is only there until the round of five. After that, the viewers votes stick. Noone can correct an unjust result.
Matt Giraud – Have You Ever Loved A Woman
New Kids on the Blocks reunion was last year. If only Matt would have been on this show last year it would have been in time to be a back up singer and perhaps he could have slid into their lineup as a fifth or sixth singer. Bryan Adam’s sung this song so well. This performance simply makes you wish the radio was on rather than listen to this attempt at making this He’s good, he’s likeable, but he’s not great. Thank god the show still has Anoop and Lil which will help him sneak into the top six. I don’t see him making it to top four if he keeps going like this.
Question: How come Matt doesn’t get all those bonus points from the judges for playing piano while singing. Is playing the piano any less incredible when you’re a customer who is sighted rather than one that is blind?
Danny Gokey – Endless Love
Wow, I believe danny really tripped if not fell this week. I don’t like his arrangement I don’t like how he changed up the sound of the song. I have a feeling that this song was so memorable to so many people that I’m not sure that we are all going to like this song enough to get the extra votes you need to stay on top.
I believe that these 7 singers have their own groups of fans. The thing they need to do every week is pick up phone voters that had their contestants eliminated. I’m not sure Danny was good enough tonight to pick up new fans. In fact, as it stands right now I have him as the third best this week. This is the third or fourth week in a row he’s third or worse. He really needs to pick it up if he’s going to finish top two like I originally predicted for him.
At this point I find it interesting that Lil, who has been weak for about three or four straight weeks now is going to finish the show. She must have come up with a great song to sing this week.
Kris is up next.
Something I just thought about during the commercials, Kris has been very original in how he has cut up songs and put on his own performance of them. I’m not familiar with this song. This guy is really good at bringing out the sensitivity and boyish charm. A very sweet tender song and I’m really becoming a fan of this kid after his great performace two weeks ago. Randy is tough on him saying it was pitchy. Kara says one of Kris’s best moments.
Lil Rounds – The Rose
Wow. She better kill tonight. Anoop didn’t suck and Danny has way too many fans to go home (I think). Lil has carried herself like a girl who every week expects to be a member of the bottom three. Her lack of confidence has her in a position now that she needs to really really kill it. She’s the last performer and viewers expect the last performer to be the best performer. I hope for her she doesn’t let us down.
I’m not sure. I think she’s a good singer but she’s not really setting herself apart as a more skilled singer than the rest of them. Here’s the problem for Lil tonight. She’s one of the three best voices (as I remember from before the top 13 began) but she’s given some of the most boring performances once we got to the viewers voting. If you’re going to change a classic it better be where you change it to something that sounds better than the original. How can anyone mess with this song? A bad choice. Clearly the worst performance of the evening, even worse, the rest of these singers have had some stellar performances in the eyes of the judges this season. If Lil gets the least votes I sincerely doubt that they are going to vote unanimously to keep her on the show.
Worst Performances this week?

Danny
Matt
Bottom Three Prediction!
