American Idol Final 8 Performance Discussion

(1/7) > >>

TexasLady:
Where to start? I'm not exactly impressed with the performances we saw last night, mostly I felt let down, shouldn't we be seeing better performances by now?

Top performance? Adam without a doubt. Every week he surprises me.

I liked Matt's Part Time Lover. LOL at Paula, two words, "Standing O."

Danny: Hated part of it, liked part of it, but it was just OK overall.

Kris: I hope he stays, but he has got to do better than this performance. Another just OK performance for me.

Lil: It's time for her to go. She's not going to get better. I am not sure what type of music she should perform but she's not finding it. I had such hopes for her, she's beautiful but....

Anoop: First of all another week of horrible lighting. Who picks the lighting effects? Whoever it is hates Anoop. Maybe it's the stylist, green stripes and red background? Thankfully they did change the lighting towards the end of his performance but it didn't matter, first impression was awful. Judges liked Anoop's performance but I didn't.

Scott: Started well but downhill after that. I didn't care for the guitar I agree with Simon, go back to the piano. If he doesn't leave this week, he will go soon. He just can't get any better. This is the best he can do.

Allison: She's an original. She's sixteen and stays true to her self. Kudos for that. A friend made the comment to me that Simon saying she needs to be more likeable was meant for her audience. I see her in the final three if not the final 2.

Who will be in the bottom three? Lil, Scott and Anoop. Hopefully not Kris Allen. 

What do Y'all think?

Ruth:
Love your observations, TexasLady! =)

Danny Gokey - Basically, Simon summed it all up. The beginning was good, middle was lazy, end was terrific. I didn't particularly LOVE the performance, it's just another good, steady one. Oh, I just wish to mention that I hated his clip. It's just too egotistical in my opinion. While other contestants shared more about how they were when they were young, all he said was, "My parents were like, he can sing!" Uh...

Kris Allen - That was a totally wrong song choice. It's such a safe and forgettable song with such boring and repetitive lyrics... I hate to say this but just one wrong song choice could just jeopardise the entire competition for him. I think he's in big trouble tonight, sadly.

Lil Rounds - I just feel so bad for her. Week after week she's not choosing the right songs and week after week gets slammed by the judges. She  must be feeling really bad, but I have to say I'm rather disappointed. I've been looking forward to seeing some stellar performance for her but she hasn't delivered. We'll see if America still gives her another chance. If she survives this week and impresses next week, I stick to my original prediction that she'll go very far. But if she survives and doesn't impress, another week should be all she can last.

Anoop Desai - Well I thought it was much better than last week, but it wasn't fantastic. I mean, haven't we seen Anoop do the same thing two and three weeks back? While I thought it was a sincere delivery, he could be in trouble for being "boring". Hmm.

Scott MacIntyre - I didn't know he plays the guitar, but I thought the guitar was rather redundant. The song was indeed too big for him but I'll agree with Kara, I do give him credit for stepping out of his comfort zone. And I just love the "my punk side is coming up" LOL!

Allison Iraheta - I loved it, loved how she controlled the song so well, loved how she sang her heart out. I do agree with Simon about her likeability factor, as can be seen how often she's been in the bottom three even though her performances weren't terrible. I think it all boils down to what Simon said the first time we saw her, that she comes across as boring.

Matt Giraud - Matt is back! Four words. Cool, charismatic, mad vocals. No doubt one of my favourites of the night.

Adam Lambert - The judges' standing ovation says it all. My favourite of the night and what can I say, he's just been impressing me so much week after week. It's always a joy anticipating what he'll do next. It was a very stellar moment in my opinion, right from the lighting to the singing. I really hope Adam wins, hee.

My ranking:
1. Adam Lambert
2. Allison Iraheta
3. Matt Giraud
4. Danny Gokey
5. Anoop Desai
6. Scott MacIntyre
7. Lil Rounds
8. Kris Allen

My predicted bottom three: Kris, Scott, Lil

I really don't think any of my top 5 should go tonight. I don't wish for Kris to go either but well... Anoop could take Lil's place in the bottom three, but we'll see about it soon. Meanwhile, I have a feeling Kris leaves. =(

I really hope Kris doesn't go home tonight but he well could. If he does, I really hope Lil can find a song that will show us that she CAN sing something great!

tory:
tl i agree with u r rankings except i would switch lil and scott.

danny needs to put some more emotion in his songs and he would be right up there with adam, i wonder if danny is afariad of loosing it  :'( :'( over his wife in front of every one jmo. i don't no how he is still standing up right bless his heart he has my vote for just showing up each week..
adam has a theater bk ground and it shows and i love it, the way he changes it up every week he is realy good. i also like alson and i don't get y ppl would not like her (i think i had teens for to long) my kids would love her, maby it is bc the teen girl that r watching r voteing for the boys and simon no's she needs some of our votes the over 30 crowed i am being kind lol i am 51..

i think kris is soo cute he might stay in on looks alone has no one else noticed his brad pit jaw line.. omg just look at him and think brad pit 20 yrs ago..

i like the way annoop sings the slower songs and the whole true colors thing might be y the lighting was all crazy last night :duno:, i cringed when i heard he was singing that but i like the way he did it a lot..

scott needs to go this week if vftw doesn't have him on there raider that i think he will i listen to like 4 lines in that song anf ff the rest..i can't watch a train wreck sry

so my ranking is

adam
allison
danny
matt
anoop
kris
lil
scott

TexasLady:
We are all pretty close and I think tonight will be a tossup as to who leaves. We'll find out in a few hours!  :tup:

VFTW isn't doing so well this year and I think they have lost a lot of their effectiveness if they ever had any, they MIGHT save Scott tonight but they can't save him for long.  :lol:
