American Idol In Review: 3/17/2009

RANDOM THOUGHTS ON IDOL ...
  • Country week is a tough week. And it was for all of the contestants. But it was surprisingly watchable.

  • Randy Travis was the mentor. Didn't his wife look scary btw?

  • I have the following in the bottom 3: Allison .... Adam ... Lil Rounds

  • Allison is picked for the bottom 3 because the song that she sung was a hard-core country song, but of course she put here rock edge to it. Not the thing to do.

  • Adam was picked (even though I am not comfortable nominating him) because of the song he sung, it was the most bizarre way of performing it. Ring of Fire is a great song. The Social Distortion version of the song is PRICELESS. However, Adam just did it just wow. Personally, I liked the song. I think he did great, but I really felt as if the crowd did not see it. Let's hope I'm wrong here.

  • Lil Rounds was picked because of it being the song that she did. Once she went to the chorus, she belted out the song great. But she was out of her element tonight, and I think that she will be in for a reality check soon.

  • Danny Gokey was also disappointing tonight and I think that his shine is starting to fade just a little bit. His song choice was absoltuely terrible, and a song I really really don't like. I think he will be safe, but I am starting to worry about him.

  • Anoop really did step up his game tonight, and I am happy for him. I think he will definately be safe, but will America agree???

  • I am starting to feel that Scott's shine is starting to fade too. I agreeded with Paula that perhaps the piano is starting to be a crutch. I really think that he needs to perform without the piano for a few weeks. Not to punish him keep in mind, but to show his range that he could have.

  • The person I really am starting to think is just great is Matt. He really showed his range. To be fair, perhaps he should perform next week without the piano. But you know what, Matt is really starting to be the person to beat. Last week, Randy Jackson said that last week, he sounded like Justin Timberlake. This week, Michael Buble .... what will it be next week??? Robin Thicke?! I hope so. I think Matt is the best person in the competition. Feel me, America?

  • How about Megan Joy?! I was really impressed that she was in the hospital with type B flu and she belted out that tune. She is an impressive girl and I think that she will stay for a while.

  • Kris did an alright job. I think it was strange that he rehersed with a guitiar and then performed on stage without it. I think that was a smart and great move. His voice is good as well.

  • Alexis was something else too. For a Dolly Parton looking girl, she certainly did good for her song. But maybe she will go home soon. But not this week.

  • And finally, Michael. I really did think he did alright. And I predicted that he would probably be the strongest person. However, my mom and cousin both think he might be gone. I tell you what, if he did, that would be a shame.
RECAP ...
In conclusion, I think that Allison will be gone Wednesday night. Her time is done on Idol. She is only 16 years old. Her voice is not fully developed yet and I think she knows this. If that happens, I really don't think the judges will veto it either.

Thoughts???
