I know my track record of guessing who's going home is terrible...but after tonight there is no doubt that Megan Joy Corkrey deserves to go home. I'm a Megan fan...love her vibe and soulful voice but her performance this evening was just painful to hear. Bob Marley would not be happy. It's too bad she didn't pick a song that better suited her.
Here's what I thought about the other contestants...
Anoop Desai -- I thought he added his own twist to the Usher song. I thought his performance was ok. the judges weren't so king. "Utter mess", Simon commented. After hearing all the performances, he did not stand out tonight.
Danny Gokey --He was good. He always gives a solid performance in my opinion...but after an hour of his performance..I've already forgotten what he sang.
Allison Iraheta --I really enjoyed her performance. I thought she did a great job. The judges were not so kind with her outfit. Randy thought it was distracting. I didn't care for her outfit either but I was distracted by her vocals...this girl can sing.
Scott MacIntyre --What a pretty voice! I really enjoyed watching his performance this week. He kept it simple...he let the piano and his voice do the work...and it payed-off. Scott is not going anywhere this week.
Matt Giraud --I thought the judges were really tough on Matt this week. I agree with Matt -I think he can do more than R&B...although, I do like him better when he taps into his soulful side.
Lil Rounds --I didn't love the song for her and neither did the judges. I agree 100% with the judges' comments...the song felt "old", not youthful. Even the outfit and make-up felt really grown-up. She has to go back to what made her stand-out in the beginning...R&B and great vocals. She doesn't have to prove she can sing a Celine Dion song.
Adam Lambert --I love that he takes risks. Adam could easily be the next American Idol. Tonight, I think he left most contestants in the dust.
Kris Allen --This cute boy is super talented. I thought he was boring last week...but he stood out from the bunch this evening. I'm loving the talented boys on the keyboard and piano.
I didn't catch the show on Tuesday...but if Megan Joy Corkrey sang like she did last night...WOW...she needed to go home...I grant you that she has a diff. type of vibe..and she looks cool...but damn...she was terrible!!! I'll try to catch the show I missed online...I'm still rooting for my fave Saldorean chick Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey...although I think little by little Adam Lambert may be sneaking up on me seeing him as one of my faves...you know...3 faves is better than 2..lol
