Judging American Idol: The Final 10

We have a new term for Scott in our house tonight – Hornsbied. (As in Bruce Hornsby and the Range.) As in, “Scott totally hornsbied that song on Idol tonight.” How can he take any song from any genre and turn it into an easy listening nightmare? I REALLY missed Alexis tonight. Especially during Megan’s “performance.”

“David Lynchian love child of Chris Isaak and k.d. lang”
.
Exactly.

I only watched the first hour, ’cause, duh! Lost came on at 9. Sounds like I missed all the good stuff on AI, though, because I wasn’t liking much of anything in the first hour. I thought that Megan was ten kinds of awful, and that Scott did pretty badly. Alexis soooo deserved to be there instead of Megan. I think that Megan is making a big mistake by overindulging the quirkiness of her voice – its moved from interesting to unpleasantly bizarre, and I thought that she picked an awful song for her vocal style this week. I wish I could have seen Alison, Adam, Lil, and Danny.

We caught Matt, Kris, and Megan (we switched over to watch Better Off Ted and caught Megan on a commercial). Matt and Kris sounded pretty good, but Megan was awful. Oh, we heard the start of Anoop, but not the whole thing.

@James — seriously, I’m dying to talk Lost. I mean…..that episode…..and the ending?….wow. I have SOOOOO many thoughts on it. And I can’t wait to read your thoughts…..that was maybe one of my favorite episodes ever – shocking ending, haunting moments, action, amazing comedy…..

@Chad – do what I did… open up notepad and write out your initial post there :)

@Chad – yeah! lets be obnoxious and turn this into a Lost thread! :)

PEOPLE, PEOPLE! You have your Lost thread now. No going off-topic or I’ll call Ann Arbor!

If the judges don’t use their “save” before the top 5 I think they need to use it to draw Alexis back in for the AI tour at least and make it a “Top 11 Tour” instead of “Top 10″ – sinful that she was not there instead of either Megan, Michael or Scott.

Maybe not the BEST overall performance, but I have to say Danny got my whole family off their seats smiling and dancing along with him. I still say that he has charisma in his performances that just make me plain happy.

Adam – yes, very good performance. But I think we have a Ken doll somewhere in the house that looks JUST like Adam last night!!!!

Still gotta put my personal “just cuz” vote in for Anoop who vocally was top notch IMO – now if he can find that balance between those great vocals and a little more entertainment (key words – a little more) then he should stick around for a few more weeks.

I guess that it is just me but I am lovin Kris Allen……he is cute! He has an awesome voice and he is soo sexy! He is really gonna have to get noticed in my opinion. There were a few perfomances last night that I was just like……”What…..oh please no!” And I am just not that impressed by Adam Lambert. He DOES have a nice voice but I really think everyone is blowing it all up way out of proportion. To me his performance last night was a little …….mmmmm……how do I say it? FAKE!!! Oh…and I want Alexis back too!

in my opinion Adam should not be allowed to even be in american idol because he is already a semi-professional (been in the broadway play Wicked.) that leaves him with an unfair advantage that the others do not have. the playing field should be level for all of them!

I agree about alexis…she should never have left before Megan! Megan is awful and looks spastic with that silly looking quirly twist that she does…and cover up that disgusting tattoo arm!
