American Idol Top 5 turn to The Rat Pack

Alright so I correctly picked one of the two who went home last week as Anoop and Lil Rounds were sent packing home. So let's try to do it better this week, and just getting half right is not good enough for me and my Idol followers. So on with the show.

This week's theme- Songs from the Rat Pack era, and the mentor was none other then... Jamie Foxx. Yeah that's right Jamie Foxx, so that does make a lot of sense right?

Anyways on with the five remaining Idol participants:

-Kris Allen, sings The Way You Look Tonight
Recap: The dude can flat out sing. Sure I'm not going to know any of the songs tonight but he does a great job on this ballad. It has a nice tempo to it and he hits all the notes if you ask me. He is on a major wave of momentum right now and I think he only helps himself this week. It is another solid performance from this year's dark horse contender, keep it up Kris.
Judges: Randy thinks it's his best performance to date, Kara says he sets the technical difficulty for tonight so high and says she loves it, Paula calls him an adorable sophisticated gentlemen, and Simon calls it a little bit wet, doesn't think it's incredible.
TK's take: Simon doesn't like it but I think America will, but we'll wait to the end to predict our bottom three.

-Allison Iraheta, sings Someone to Watch Over Me
Recap: Again not a song that I know but moving on. She starts off flawlessley and her voice fits the song very well. The song is kind of a boring choice for me but her vocals are near flawless. This definitely isn't her area of music but it really isn't any of our contestants. She makes the best of the song and I think she delivers a very strong performance.
Judges: Randy says she looks dope and that was the bomb, Kara says no need to be nervous anymore, and that it was amazing, Paula loves the ballad and how she delivers the song, Simon asks her if she thinks she can win but doesn't believe she thinks she can, but calls the performance great but still says she is in trouble tonight.
TK's take: She has been flirting on the edge of elimination several times but I wonder if it's too little too late for my girl Allison.

-Matt Giraud, sings My Funny Valentine
Recap: Oh he is still on the show, I am still upset about that one. What do you people like in him? I think the start of the song sounds very bad tonight compared to the previous two performances. Again this performance doesn't do anything to justify him. I think his voice is just average and it doesn't shine or come through at all this week for the supposed jazz master. He used to be someone I enjoyed listening to but lately it has just progressed to the point where I just don't like him, sorry.
Judges: Randy says it was a little pitchy, Kara doesn't feel any emotional connection between him and the song, and Paula of course loves it and Simon disagrees with Randy, he calls it the only authentic performance of the night.
TK's take: Well the judges are split 2-2 but I favor Randy and Kara, so we'll decide his fate later on.

-Danny Gokey, sings Come Rain or Come Shine
Recap: Finally the performance I've been waiting for all night. I think his voice fits this genre so perfectally. He delivers one of his better performances in weeks and I think its about time. He sounds on top of his game tonight and like I said his voice just makes this song sound fresh and something that many people would enjoy today. It's definitely my favorite performance of the night so far and I think Danny is back and he just nails it. He kills the ending of the song and makes it his own.Judges: Randy thinks he can have an album of songs like that and win and he just can flat out sing, Kara says he has the swagger tonight and it was great, Paula says stellar performance, and Simon says he has the swagger and the confidence and he says he came out to prove a point tonight and he does that.
TK's take: Best performance of the night by a mile and everyone loves it, TK included.

-Adam Lambert, sings Feeling Good
Recap: Every time he takes the stage he just commands it. He has smashed the last couple of weeks and just when you think he is going to be just average, guess again. He takes this rat pack song and makes into a rock type groove and I really enjoy it. His vocals are once again at the top of his game and he proves to all of us why he is the top dog. That note he holds for like 10 seconds is just so over powering it trumps the competition. Unbelievable yet again, and just crown him the winner, alright, it's over.
Judges: Randy says he is just in the zone, Kara says her mouth has just dropped open again and loves it all, Paula says you make me feel better then good, and that you are our Michael Phelps and Simon just says he wants to come out and win and to prove a point each performance.
TK's take: Easily safe again and is just coasting into the finals.

TK's Best of the Night: I gotta go with Danny over Adam by just the smallest of margins but they were both superb.

TK's Worst of the Night: Matt Giraud

So this week's bottom three is going to be tough but I'm going to try my best:
-Matt Giraud
-Allison Iraheta
-Kris Allen

There is no way Danny or Adam make it into the bottom three so these will be the three that face the elimination chairs this week.

What I think is going to happen is that Kris will be sent back first because he is on a roll and is one of the better singers on the show. What I hope happens that Matt goes home, but I think Allison has just been in the bottom three too many times and will be leaving Idol this week but here's hoping to Matt leaving.
