American Idol Predictions - April 22, 2009

Disco night really didn't sound much like disco with the exception of Danny & Matt.

So let's get in to it then...

Danny Gokey sang September which I love by Earth Wind and Fire. I thought he sang well. I used to love him but now I am just liking him.

Matt Giraud sang Stayin' Alive and I'm not sure if he will. I thought it was ok but apparently the judges want them to change up the songs more and it sounded pretty much like the original.

Alison Ihareta sang Hot Stuff by Donna Summer (one of 3 songs by Summer). Someone called me during her performance so I only caught pieces. I think she might be in the bottom 3 only because I thought the arrangement wasn't that good and she seemed to be shouting again. But I love Alison and as Randy says, " You got mad skills" "Dude, you can blow!" Let's hope he means singing...

Anoop Desai sang Dim All The Lights by Summer. I think he must have figured out that his voice is best when singing slow songs. For the second week in a row, I thought he was very good. But the last note sounded like he was dying, yikes! And did anyone notice this, but when they did the recaps of all the singers, they showed Anoop's last note and it wasn't the same as the actual performance. That must have been the performance of the rehearsal in the recaps.

Kris Allen sang yet again another Donna Summer song, She Works Hard for the Money. All I kept thinking of was that video of her working in that diner. Kris is becoming one of my favorites. I really like his style and I love anything acoustic so he's sounding awesome.

Adam Lambert sang If I Can't Have You by Yvonne Eilliman. Paula marvels about how he shows emotion. I mean the camera cuts to Paula and she's practically weeping on cue. Remember people, this guy is an actor. Of course he knows how to sing with emotion, he used to sing in musicals all the time. It was a good performance, I will say that.

Lil Rounds sang I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan. I didn't see her performance at all. I did however see the judges reaction so I'm going to say it wasn't good. I bet she is is so confused on what to sing because every comment from the judges to her is negative.

I think the Bottom 3 will be Lil' Rounds, Matt Giraud and Alison Ihareta. If fans get behind Lil' Rounds then either Anoop or Kris will probably be in there then.

And can I just say something about Paula? I also noticed after Adam sang, they zoomed in on her face and her hand was shaking quite a bit. I know she was filled up with emotion after proclaiming Adam would be in the finals and some classic comments, “I felt your pain, I felt like your vulnerability and it was beautiful. It was as if you tore your heart out and left it on the stage. You’re fascinating, you’re brilliant, and you will be in the finals".

Paula, can you feel my pain just listening to you? I find myself shouting at the tv at times everytime I see Paula get up and dance like a maniac to the contestants songs.


Well, what cheesy dance number will we see tonight and what old reject from AI will be performing? Oh wait, it's cutie David Archuletta...
