American Idol in Review: 4/7/2009

This week's theme on Idol was songs from the year the contestants were born.  And this week, finally, did not disappoint.

Most singers chose songs that complemented them, but some did not.  Adam Lambert once again kept everyone awed by Gary Jules 'Mad World'.  Matt Giaurd wowed everyone by Stevie Wonder's 'Part Time Lover'.  Danny did 'Stand By Me'.  Kris did a crowd-pleasing version of the Don Henley classic 'All She Wants to Do is Dance'.  Allison had the only 90s song of the night, and she did not disappoint with a Bonnie Raitt ballad, 'I Can't Make You Love Me'.  

The following will be in the bottom 3:

Lil Rounds, with a disappointing version of the Tina Turner classic, "What's Love Got to Do With It".  Yeah, on my twitter I said I liked it, but overall, it just did not do what it needed to do in the long run.

Anoop will be in the bottom 3 with his bad performance of the Phil Collins classic, 'True Colors'.  Some may like it, but eh, it just did not do it.

But the last person in the bottom 3 and my prediction for going home this week will be Scott.  He did some 80s' power ballad that 1) I did not even know and 2) was bad, very bad.  To his credit, he did lose the piano and he used a guitar.  That is when it went bad ... I feel that he put himself going home because of poor execution and that bad high note he screamed.  

Bye, Bye Scott!

And with that, the 5th American Idol judge has spoken!

Good night everyone.
