American Idol 8 - Top 7 Performance

It was one of the best nights so far this season. Idol contestants battled it out with movie theme songs.

Allison Iraheta started the night with Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing." It suits her voice and range (though I'm kinda used to divas belting out the last note). It was just ok. (See video here.)

Anoop Desai showed another good vocal performance singing "Everything I Do", which is a classic 90s love theme. I remember hearing it over and over again when I was a kid... reminds me of my batang kalye days. (See video here.)

Adam Lambert gave another unbelievably fantastic and energetic performance of "Born To Be Wild." The audience was on their feet (including Paula as always).


Matt Giraud's version of "Have You Ever Really Love A Woman" was kinda like the same as Bryan Adams. And I agree with Randy that he bridge was a bit pitchy. Bottom 3 again, Matt? (See video here.)

Danny Gokey was nowhere to be found. He's MIA. He's in another planet. He's somewhere else. I don't know what happened to him. He went on stage with no glasses. He looks uncomfortable. He was flat in some parts of "Endless Love." He deserves to be in the bottom 3. I don't have a video of it. I think it's a waste of hard drive space.

Kris Allen rocked another mellow song. Rocked 'cos the audience were drooling at him. He sang the Oscar-winning song, "Falling Slowly." I love this song. It bested "Listen" and other 2 songs from "Dreamgirls" a few years ago. Going back to Idol... again, they loved his performance.


And finally, Lil Rounds just bought her ticket back home with another boring performance. She sang "The Rose." It was a waste of time so I did not dare downloading it. Simon said it was terrible. Oh well... I really feel bad about this. I liked her especially when she sang "Be Without You" pre-Top 13. But now, she was out-shined by the boys and even the youngest girl, Allison.

Tata Lil! Hate your wig every week.
