On to next week... DICSO!!

I think Lil ought to sing "I Will Survive" to Simon, LOL!!! Seriously, the girl has talent - her song choices have not done her justice, but with the right manager and some vocal coaching (which she'll get when AI is over I'm sure) she'll do fine!


YouTube - I Will Survive

Seriously though, THIS is what she needs to sing - and do it exactly like Donna Summer did in this video:

"Last Dance"

I guess we all have noticed it, I mean, how can you not? I bet someone will tell him to get that removed after Idol.
It is very distracting.

I hated that Lil wasn't voted off. I personally thought that the judges would not have saved her. She has had too many chances.
Simon is a wuss, he didn't really want to save Matt, but Paula and Kara love Matt, and he succumbed to their bickering.

I disagree slightly here. I can see dialing in for Anoop to have someone represent eastern culture on the US music scene. Celebrity status is a big deal in Bollywood. (I had no choice but to watch Hindi movies during the holidays for years. LOL) Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan and Shahrukh Khan have as much superstar status in Bollywood as our superstars do here.

My wife really can't stand Miley at all and made me fast forward through the whole act or she was gonna retrieve my dinner from me. What I saw/heard of it seemed very shaky.

I'm thinking Allison would sound great singing "I Will Survive", I have a sinking feeling that if Lil sings it, Simon will tear her up again, she can't seem to win with him, and I honestly think she sounded better these last 2 weeks, than before. Not sure how she can improve?
I'm getting really tired of Adam's screaming. He's talented, sure, he's got stage presence, sure, he's got charisma, yes, the crowd/judges love him, yes, but really, he needs to bring the reigns in a little. Maybe a tempo somewhere in between that Tears for Fears song and "Born To Be Wild" would do the trick?????

I was surprised Lil edged out Matt, but I am rooting for him!!

I'm telling you, Lil has more raw talent than Matt, no question.

hmmmm...Allison might do well with "I Will Survive" too!

I STILL say I would LOVE to see Adam sing Seal's "Kiss From a Rose"... can't you just hear him???? "BAY BE, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on a grave!!"


YouTube - Seal - Kiss From A Rose

Having a hard time envisioning Adam and a disco song, LOL!

I really love Matts voice and I think he has come far in this talent show.....
My favorite is still Adam. Not that I always like his song choices. But, his ranges are awesome.
I favor his slow, moody songs......
Allison is fantastic too....
I think it will boil down to Adam and Allison in the end..........my 2 cents of a guess anyhow...

I'VE GOT IT!!

Adam needs to do "Disco Inferno" from Saturday Night Fever - but THIS way, like Tina Turner did - he could really make it his own, the way he did "Ring of Fire":
