Three Dog Night

American Idol Show Notes
Week of May 12-13, 2009
The Final Three!

Well, there are only three dogs left in the race - all guys. That would not have been the case if Alexis Grace wouldn't have been cut way back when there were eleven finalists remaining. Feel free to weigh in with any thoughts, feelings, and predictions on this matter.

American Idol Notes - April 7, 2009er.
Songs from the: Year They Were Born.

Act One

Danny: 1980-Stand By Me. Las Vegas Nightclub version. OK.

Act Two

Chris Allen: 1985-All She Wants To Do Is Dance. Didn't stand out in the performance.

Little Rounds: 1984-What's Luv Gots 2 Do Wits It. Not as good as Tina's version. Backup singer-ish.

Act Three

Anoop: 1986-True Colors. Better than his usual. Liked original way better. Didn't do it for mwah...sorry.

Act Four

Scott - hated it (don't hate him) hate sound of his singing voice (and talking voice) and his looks don't mezmerize me ither. Embarrassing to watch...sorry.

Allison: '92 Bonnie Raitt. Nice choice for her. Really liked it overall. Tender notes sound great. Might even consider purchasing that version.

Act Five

Matt: 1985-Partime Lovers. Pretty darn good. Slower jazzy rock version. More than OK.

Act Six!

Adam will win this competition (now that Alexis Grace got mistakenly booted). Perfect pitch and crazy vocal range. Incredible. Want to hear more.

1st Place: Adam

2nd Place: Allison

3rd Place: Anybody but Scott!

Happy Saint Patricia's Day

For the Top Eleven Big Show, here is a little different format for the show notes. Jumping right into the Conclusion Phase which is sprinkled with some details.

Those singers who could all be immediately flushed from the finalists:

Michael Sarver: Showed he can memorize well, but lacking any star quality.
Allison Irahetta: Strainy sound of her voice is irritating plus looks freakish.
Scott from Scottsdale: End of the road time for a nice guy but not going to win.
Adam Ant Iguana Boy George: If it's a love/hate thing, then sorry, but a slow weird evil Egyptian version of Ring of Fire is not going to be on a CD under my Christmas Tree.

Either great performances tonight, or have enough to be in smaller subset of finalists:

Kris Allen: Really sounded good with a slower ballet. Sang well in what IS a singing competition.
Little Rounds: Country music not her thang but did well enough to still impress.
Alexis Grace: Song choice (Jolene) was poor but still a strong favorite from this perspective.
Daniel Go-Key: Strong great emotional performance. He still has it and affects the listener.
Anooooop: Biggest surprise of the eve. Deserves to be in final smaller group.
Megan Joy: Nice retro look and feel. For being quite sick, she deserves to go on.
Matt Giraud: Following four strong performance, he definitely made it five strong performances.
