i think simon's right too... but I think he's better than Lil certainly. And if he picks the right song, he CAN be better than all of them except Allison (because I haven't seen her be remotely bad yet) So.. I think he can be better...but he hasn't shown any consistency, so I don't think he can win it b/c he won't pick the right song over the span of 3 or 4 weeks.
Glad to see that Matt got saved as I like him. With that being said, I don't think he will win but I would love to see him last longer than Danny Gokey (blech). I think that if there is any justice in the world, Lil Rounds will definitely be going home next week and probably Anoop who has gone about as far as he can, considering what his talent level is. Here are my updated rankings: 1 - Adam 2 - Allison 3 - Kris 4 - Danny 5 - Matt 6 - Anoop 7 - Lil
I agree with your rankings 100% as an "overall, to date" though I could easily understand flipping Adam and Allison
Allison is starting to grow on me although it has been somewhat slowly. I don't know if I am all that crazy about another teenager girl being the American Idol, though. I am still trying to figure out why Danny is starting to annoy me more and more every week.
me too. Cause I picked him to win it, and I've been rooting for him. I guess he's not annoying, but he really hasn't wowed me with anything in a long time. And I think when he doesn't do as good a job, the judges don't throw it back in his face...not his fault, but that annoys me. I do know that Anoop and Lil are both really defensive--either with words or facial expressions/body language (sometimes all of the above)--and that is why they annoy me...separate from their singing ability
Sorry, but Adam was back on my **** list this week. I guess it doesn't help that I have always HATED that song. He should have at least done The Cult's version, which I actually like. I didn't like his version AT ALL. I think Chris stepped up. Like someone else said, I've never heard that song but he sang the hell out of it, whatever it was. Allison was good as usual. She's still my favorite to win. Annoying personality, but amazingly mature voice. And I agree about the lousy producing. You would think that they could cut down on everyone's rehearsal footage instead of cutting down on the judges comments. ESPECIALLY when the guy "coaching" them isn't even a musician. WTF was that??? I can't believe you guys don't like Paula. I hope they never get rid of her. Her inane comments and emtpy cliches are half the reason I watch that show. Can you say 'unintentional comedy'?
hmm on a interesting random fact note... Adam was my classmate since 3rd grade! signed my yearbook a few times also.. ehh but i dont really watch the show too much.. i'll catch it if its on.. all i know is lil sucks..
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30231332/ Adding a fourth judge isn't a problem. The problem is time, as in they don't know how to manage it. Other shows do just fine with four judges. Shoot that world dancing competition back in the Winter on NBC had what, 8-10 judges. And I'd rather see Paula go than Kara, but that wouldn't happen. Dammit, I'm talking like I actually care about the show!
What an absolute waste of a save. Hell so far the only one who truely deserved a save was Alexis. Matt has no future, and will not go far. Now if someone with talent gets cut next week, like a Allison, Kris, Danny ect then what are you left with. This was all the girls doing. Do they not realize that every week they want to save someone? UGH. And though there have been weeks were Adam has surprised me and done a great job, most weeks for me were like this one. Lavish, over the top, over baked versions, with too much look at my screaming high notes emphasis. This week was almost as painful as the Johnny Cash song he did. Allison really has to mix it up a bit for me. He voice, for some reason, is starting to really annoy me. I know she's solid, and hasn't put out a really bad performance, but its the sound of her voice that just is throwing me off. Kris was pretty stellar in my eyes. Anoop was very good too, but with him you know this. Get him out of that zone (R n B soft songs or styles similar) and he is flat, with very limited range. Gokey was solid again. I think only he, Allison, or Kris have a shot to ever sell records. I think also thats part of his problem. He is in stride always, so you feel repititive with him. Rounds and Matt gone next week. The by far worst performance of the night though was Hannah Montannah. That screaming off key, off pitch singing was absolutely atrocious.
First things first. Lil's bottom is magnificent. Just lovely. Even surpasses Katherine McPhee's. Now that's out of the way, She should be lucky she made it this far. I thought from the start that she shouldn't even have made the top 12 and it seems now the judges are realizing the folly of their decision. Plus the girl needs to take a page from Chikezie and realize that she won't win when it comes to going back and forth w/the judges. She needs to just zip it. I realized that the only time I listen to Paula is when I want to laugh. Also Simon's comments don't mean as much to me as Kara's and Randy's-mostly Kara's. Her comments are usually more constructive and informative than the other judges without being patronizing(Paula). As for tonite's show, Anoop showed his nice vocals, didn't care for the song. Allison can sing anything(w/her Pink like voice) but the arrangement was not good. Gokey and Lambert were just ok imho. Giraud didn't pick the right song I liked Kris the best tonight. I think the dude is really underrated in the competition and the judges still haven't really given him his due like they do Gokey,Lambert and Allison. Lil and Giraud should be off tomorrow.
adam - didn't want to put him over kris, but hard not to. more challenging than kris's, but still pretty much perfect with the vocals kris - been doing better every week gokey - one of his better ones out of his last few weeks anoop - sang it well, he still annoys me though.. matt - better than last week, still not good allison - over the top...usually like her.. agreed with kara/randy--jacked arrangement, still good vocals; didn't like it but can't fault it either lil rounds - i think she's gotten worse every week ----- lil is out. matt, anoop, or allison will be the 2nd one out (even though I definitely think Allison should stay.. she's been unpopular before and didn't do well enough to guarantee anything this week)
it's so funny currently living in the city where Kris is from. One of the people that was in the audience when they zoomed to Kris' family and friends was a guy that lived in my dorm during my freshman year of college. I think this was his best performance. This is a three horse race with Adam vs. Kris & Danny.
Not sure what's up with Lil. When the finals started, I thought she'd win the whole thing, but she just gets a little worse every week. Major pitch issues. She always sings like she's out of breath or something. Bad song choice too. She should have done I Will Survive or something like that. Just when I started to jump on the Adam bandwagon, he starts sucking again. When he just sings, he’s pretty good. But when he starts all that weird high-pitch screaming, it just ruins it for me. What the hell was with Paula?? They kept showing her during his performance and she was literally shaking. Just really weird. Hey Paula….it wasn’t THAT good. Was she having an orgasm or something?? I think she was actually having an orgasm. Chris was pretty good, but the Dave Matthews thing is starting to get old. Anoop is starting to give off sort of a Michael Bolton vibe. Not good…. Allison was good, but crappy arrangement. Gokey was OK, but was too self-indulgent. I actually liked Matt’s arrangement.
