Last Night's Idol cont.

Published 26 March 09 07:16 AM | Zach

Well, I watched about half of last nights show so far... Adam was by far the best out of anyone last night. Here's the post I promised you Smile Note, I didn't write it so thanks Elaina for helping me out!

But first, here's the chart of who we think will be in the bottom 3!

All entrants think that either Megan or Michael are going home this week. I also offered a bonus point for this week, but the point will not be awarded until after the competition hits the top 3...   Here's THAT chart! I gotta say, results are shocking!

EVERYONE picked the same top 3! Wow!

 

The top 10 American Idols performed Wednesday night to see if they could get one step closer to becoming the next Idol.

The theme for the night was Motown music with Smokey Robinson as the mentor.

Matt Giraud was up first performing “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye and Smokey said that Matt’s performance “would have floored him [Gaye].” It was good because Matt finally stepped away from the piano and showed more of a stage presence. Kara said, “there’s a lot of girls out there saying ‘yeah let’s get it on.’” Enough said.

 

Kris Allen was next up singing “How Sweet It Is” by Marvin Gaye and Smokey said that Matt “blew it away.” He did a great job and put a very different sound on the song. Randy said that Kris has “hit his zone” but Simon said that he basically wanted Kris to be a little more conceited and have a "swagger."

Scott MacIntyre stuck with the piano and sang “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes. Smokey said that he enjoys Scott’s performances always and he made the song contemporary. I’m not sure about the pink jeans he was wearing; however the performance was fun and entertaining but maybe not enough to take him to the top 9. Paula, after telling Scott to leave the piano behind the week before, said that although he didn’t give up the piano he brought a new level to it this week. Unfortunately, Simon said that besides the piano playing, “it was a bit cheap.”

Paula also brought crayons and coloring books for Simon because he gets bored so easily.

Megan Joy Corkery sang “For Once In My Life” by Stevie Wonder and Smokey liked how different and original her performance was. She did a good job of working the whole stage and looked beautiful but her jazzy sound is getting a little old. Randy said the “song was a train wreck.” The other judges also didn’t like the performance.

Anoop Desai was next up singing “Oh Baby, Baby” by Smokey Robison and The Miracles and Smokey said he blew him away. It was a little boring but he has an amazing voice. Simon said that Anoop “looked half asleep.”

Michael Sarver sang “Ain’t Too Proud Beg” by The Temptations and Smokey said he needed to be a little less smooth and little more abrasive about it. It was a very different performance for Michael and he really sang it to its fullest. Paula said it was “a little old Las Vegas” and Simon really ripped into him, saying it was bad song choice.

Lil’ Rounds was next on stage singing “Heat Wave” by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas and her and Smokey connected over how far Motown has come and Lil’ said she wanted to do her performance for them. Not surprisingly, Lil’ killed it and looked gorgeous. Randy like the end but felt like the beginning of her performance was “torture” but Paula thought it was “fresh” and “classic.”

Adam Lambert sang “Tracks of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson and Smokey liked how he kept it slow and soft. He had a very different look with slicked back hair and suit keeping in tempo with his performance. Smokey Robinson gave Adam a standing ovation and Kara said she had to stand because it was “one of the best performances of the night” but Simon said “it was THE best.”

Danny Gokey was next up singing “Get Ready” by The Temptations. It was a little cheesy but his voice sounded good as always. Paula said he always gives a “first class performance” but Simon said “it was clumsy and amateurish.”

Allison Iraheta sang “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” by The Temptations and Smokey said she sang it her own way and that was a good thing. It was amazing especially for a 16-year-old and the whole audience was on their feet. Kara said “that was from God!” while Simon proceeded to draw a sharpie mustache on Paula.
