American Idol Top 7: Disco time

Well boys and girls I wasn't correct on my going home pick last week however I still got 2 of the bottom 3 correct, so that was a plus. Can't believe the judges used their save choice on Matt. Yeah his voice is just ok but he has no chance of winning this competition so someone explain their save choice on him. So this week we get two people voted off the Idol competition, so without further a due, lets get it on.


This week's theme is Disco week so put on your dancing shoes and I'll meet you on the dance floor.

-Lil Rounds, sings I'm Every Woman
Recap: Well no opening video for her this week. Again she comes out and sounds like a copy cat to me. She hasn't done anything to establish herself like Allison has and all the guys have. I think she has been on the show for far too long and her performance tonight doesn't earn her any credit in my book.
Judges: Randy says it sounds wild to him, Kara doesn't like it also, Paula says she fall a little flat as well, and Simon says this is going to be the last week we see her.
TK's take: I think is in trouble, but we'll wait to the end of the show to cast her into the bottom three. But I agree with Simon folks.

-Kris Allen, sings She Works Hard for the Money
Recap: Wow have you ever heard a song that sounds nothing like the original? That's exactly what Kris does tonight, and I kind of dug it. He totally makes it his own and gives it a new sound that is so unique and I think it is one fans will remember. And he sings it well so that's a plus also. Good job and I think his stock is rising.
Judges: Kara says it all pays off and is impressed, Paula rambles about shopping, (why is she a judge), Simon laughs at Paula and calls it original and calls it fantastic, and Randy says he is ready for the big time.
TK's take: Safe and moves into the Idol top 5.

-Danny Gokey, sings September
Recap: I love this song, anyways. Does a decent job with the song but I don't think it's one of his strongest vocals I've ever heard from him but it's nothing too bad. The thing I like about him is makes everything sound unique and that's something any good artist should be able too. Ends the song very well and does a solid job.
Judges: Randy says he turns it into something all Danny like, Kara calls him amazing vocalist, Paula likes it of course and says he has a sexy voice, and Simon does enjoy it except the performance wasn't special.
TK's take: Is one of the true artists on the show and is safe into the final 5.

-Allison Iraheta, sings Hot Stuff
Recap: She just sounds sexy tonight, and looks it, wait she's 16 I'm being informed, moving on. This song is a true disco song and she adds her own spice to it. I think she rocks the track and proves why she is the best female on the show and one of the best on the show. Has amazing pipes to say the least. Great performance tonight.
Judges: Randy doesn't love the arrangement but calls her one of the best singers, Kara is a puppet to Randy, Paula enjoys it and says she hit it off the chart, Simon says that was a brilliant performance.
TK's take: She smashes the song tonight and we will be seeing her hot stuff in the final five.

-Adam Lambert, sings If I Can't Have You
Recap: The man, myth and legend takes the stage. He slows the song down a lot and it works in the beginning. He keeps the tempo at such a good rate it works so well, he hits the big notes and provides us with the screams that we all love. You want to talk about moment songs, that might of just been one tonight, it was an amazing performance.
Judges: Randy says he is ready right now, Kara just says brilliant, Paula who I think was crying says he is fascinating, brilliant and loves him, Simon calls it original and says we will remember it and says vocals are immaculate.
TK's take: He has become my favorite on the show, was number 2 behind Danny but he is amazing. Easily safe this week and the next ones also, great job.

-Matt Giraud, sings Staying Alive
Recap: Fitting song choice as he was saved last week. I think he does an ok job this week but his voice has kind of run its course with me. He really can't sing disco and for choosing a Bee-Gees song he should of killed it this week but I think he falls a bit short and could be in danger again this week. Just an average performance from Matt.
Judges: Randy didn't love the song choice but says he can really sing, Kara says he brings disco back and calls it good, Paula compares him to bowling, says his performance was a strike, Simon doesn't like the performance and doesn't think it was that great.
TK's take: I agree completely with Simon, I think he is going to be back in the bottom three for the second week in a row if not worse.

-Anoop Desai, sings Dim All the Lights
Recap: Another contestant who has his ups and downs. And I must say this performance was alright. Song choice was kind of weak as this song is way too slow and not a very vocally challenging song. It became rather boring and not the best way to end the show, but he does enough that people will probably keep him around for another week.
Judges: Randy says he can sing, Kara loves the song choice, Paula loves the look and says it was a good vocal, Simon calls it mediocre at best.
TK's take: Not his best, but does enough to remain on the show.

Best performance of the night: Adam Lambert by a mile. It was original and unique and he just keeps it rocking every week.

Worst performance of the night: Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai tie for it.

BOTTOM THREE:
-Lil Rounds
-Matt Giraud
-Anoop Desai

Well two are going home this week and I think this is the week I'll go 2 for 2, not too confident huh?
I think Idol says goodbye to Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud this week because lets face it neither one is as good as the remaining five and don't stand a chance at ultimately winning this show.
