Rock Week

Riley is sitting near me helping with my opinions. Always near with a mew or a twitch of the tail. He helped me edit and I had to re check the spelling due to his big feet.

So, this is what we think ...

American Idol is down to four. This week the musical theme was Rock.

Ryan talked about how the stage had a mechanical malfunction. One of the AI signs broke.
Ryan wore a purple colored tie which made him look down right snazzy in his light grey suit.
Slash was the professional expert this week. He was the lead guitar player for Guns n’ Roses. Now he is in the band Velvet Revolver.

Adam Lambert sang 'Whole Lot Of Love' by led Zeppelin. Randy Loved it. Kara said he was a Rock God. Paula said he was a whole lot of purrfect. Simon said the problem was that nobody could top that now.

Allison Iraheta sang 'Cry Baby' by Janis Joplin. Randy did not love the song choice. It wasn’t great for him. Kara thought the same thing. Paula thought it was fearless. Simon thought she had confidence and vocal. Said it was a sound alike. He would not have chosen that song.

Kris and Danny sang a duet, Renegade by Styx. Randy really liked the harmonies. Kara thought that sum of the parts was better.( meaning that she didn't like when they sang individually in the song but like the harmony) Paula thought it was powerful and compelling. Simon thought Danny was better than Kris.

Kris Allen sang 'Come Together' by the Beatles. Randy loved the guitar playing and he enjoyed it. Kara said he was the soft side of rock but not a great performance. Paula thought his signature was all over the song but he needed a little more energy. Simon actually didn’t like it that much. He said it was like eating ice for lunch.

Danny Gokey sand 'Dream On' by AeroSmith. Randy said it was alright for him. Gave him an A plus for a valiant effort. Kara said he liked to see growth and risk and commended him for taking a chance. Paula said she didn’t know if it was the right song for him but she gave him an a plus plus for going for it. Simon said the last note was like watching a horror movie. A little bit over the top. Still said he would be safe.

Allison and Adam sang 'Slow Ride' by Fog Hat. They did a better duet than the other Kris and Danny. They of course are the rock and rollers. Randy said they are the two seasoned rock stars. They were the bomb baby. Kara said it was right to be pushing each other to be better. Paula said they were the perfect blend, like a marriage. Simon said they won the duet battle tonight.

My thought is that Kris will go.

I'll watch tonight to see who goes and gets to be in the Final Three.

My Thoughts About A I

This was written while watching the Tuesday A I show and results were added Thursday after watching the Wednesday show. Editing was done by Riley, my administrative assistant.

American Idol

I enjoy the singing and the comments from the judges. This year they actually have some great singers in their top 13. Now down to five. In previous season's they have goofed just a bit. Not having fabulous voices in the finals. When it comes to voters, they may make their decision by the person and not talent.

Tonight’s songs were ‘Just the way you look’ sung by Kris. I like him. Allison was next singing ’Someone to watch over me’. Not bad. I like her too. Matt sang ‘My Funny Valentine’. Very smooth. Simon and Paula loved him. It was split. The other judges thought it was ok. Out came Danny and he sang ‘Come Rain or Come Shine’. He was fabulous. All the judges loved him. As did I. The last one was Adam singing ‘Feeling Good’. Daring and out there and the judges were thrilled, shocked, impressed and generally wowed once again. I think Adam will win but the mystery is who will be in the second spot.

When they are all done, out comes the cute as ever Ryan to end the show. Cool show and I’ll be watching tomorrow to see who gets eliminated. I’m thinking Allison or Matt. If I had to pick, I’d pick Matt.

Update ~ I watched the show last night and Matt was the one voted off. The ‘shocker’ was that Adam was in the bottom two. Allison and Danny were the top two. You never know what the voting public will do but last night they did fine with me.

I think Matt was a great soft singer. Reminds me of Justin Timberlake. It’s what happens after American Idol and what they can do with their new opportunities, that will show who is the real talent. That person may not be the actual AI winner. Only time and sales will tell.

Oh, Jamie Fox was on the show last night and I just didn’t get his song. I am getting old. How funny that is cause I remember being a teenager and loving rock and roll. Which by the way, is next weeks theme.

Peace Out til my next review …..
