American Idol 8 Top 3 Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 14 May 2009 01:11:48 +0000

Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria and Bill Hader opened the show with a little skit and it was pretty funny. I cracked up at Jonah’s impression of Randy Jackson.

More than 88 million votes were cast to determine the Top 2 and I can’t believe we are at this point of the season already! Apparently, the person being sent home tonight lost by one million votes. That’s crazy!

Alicia Keys came out to add to what Carrie Underwood said about Idol Gives Back. She introduced a young man who wants to make an album to help other African children so that they can fight HIV. She asks us all to text the word “ALIVE” to 90999 and donate $5 to the cause. The performance was so cute and sweet! I hope it raises a lot of money!

Next, they showed more footage of the homecoming/hometown visits with Danny Gokey going first. It was hilarious (and touching) to see how much love and support Danny got and it was also great to see Jamar Rogers again. Kris Allen was next and it was amazing to hear him explain that there was about 20,000 people at his rally when the town only has like 40-50,000 in total.

Jordin Sparks then performed her new single “Battlefield” and, for all that talk about her being comfortable with her body the way it was, she looked a LOT slimmer. Did you notice? What did you think of the song? I thought it was way better than “Tattoo” because she actually got to put her talent to work but I found it sounded a little rough towards the end.

Adam Lambert was brought on to the stage so that they could take a look at the footage from his hometown visit. They had a chuckle about the female fan who took her shirt off and tried to run to Adam. His fans were definitely the craziest of the three hometowns.

Katy Perry performed her song “Waking Up in Vegas” and the first thing I noticed what that she had Adam Lambert’s name embroidered on her cape. WOW! I really am not a big fan of this song so it was really just okay to me.

Sadly, one of the very talented guys from the Top 3 had to be eliminated tonight and it was Danny Gokey. So sad. He’s been such a favorite since the beginning.

American Idol Season 8 Top 4 Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 07 May 2009 01:58:23 +0000

The show started with a group performance of “School’s Out” which is one of my favorite songs to play on Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock. It was pretty cool to see the contestants rock out like that.

Danny Gokey had me cracking up as he talked about how funny it was to watch his performance from last night. Judge Simon Cowell had said his last note sounded like something from a horror movie and Danny had to agree. He said that his own aunt had muted it and he heard that people were making ringtones. Too funny!

We were treated with a little montage of Paula Abdul’s career before she performed her new single “I’m Just Here for the Music.” The lip-synching is unacceptable, can I just say? A lot of celebrities bomb majorly because they try to perform LIVE on the Idol stage and I think it’s sort of a right of passage. There’s no flipping way she was moving like that and singing. BUT I do have to give her major kudos for those amazing moves. She really blew me away by jumping off the stage and being flipped around like that. Fierce!

On the flipside, I kinda wish that Gwen Stefani from No Doubt had lip-synched as she warbled her way through “Just a Girl.” No further comment needed. Moving on…

Over 64 million votes were cast which is the highest number outside of a finale. Go America!

Kris Allen was the first to be sent to safety! I’m pretty happy with it because he’s humble, inventive and cute.

Daughtry performed their new song “No Surprise” from their upcoming album Leave This Town. What do you think of the song? I’m not a huge fan of it, to be honest.

Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey joined Kris on the couch but Allison Iraheta was sent home. I can’t say that I’m too surprised but it’s too bad. She’s got a great voice but she really needs to come out of her shell and connect more with her audience.

American Idol 8 Disco Week Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:22:03 +0000

The results show from Disco Week on American Idol got underway with a group number choreographed by judge, Paula Abdul. It felt like something from a dance show because they showed Paula training the contestants. When the performance was over, Paula was presented with a bouquet of flowers. It felt a little… strange (?) to me. What did you think of that?

Lil Rounds was the first to be sent home tonight in a very quick elimination. Ryan asked her to go over to the other side of the stage and as soon as she got there, he told her that her journey on the show had ended. She did a much better job singing “I’m Every Woman” but I still don’t think it would have been enough to keep her safe.

Next, Disco legends Harry Wayne “KC” Casey, Thelma Houston and Freda Payne. I’m going to just to respectfully say that I love the songs but the performances were… interesting. I’m going to just blame it on the Idol stage curse and call it a night…

Kris Allen was the first person named to the Top 5! Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey are also safe. Anoop Desai was named to the bottom three. Allison Iraheta joined him and I was totally shocked.

David Archuleta sang “Touch My Hand” and he was so energetic and amazing. I really loved him tonight. What did you think?

Anoop Desai was eliminated and I’m so sad. It’s not that I don’t like Allison but he’s got such a good voice but he made some bad song choices. I hope he has a bright future ahead of him because he’s got a great personality and look.

American Idol 8 Top 7 Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:59:15 +0000

The American Idol results show was tonight and it was fun to see the finalists at the premiere of 17 Again and then have the star, Zac Efron, in the audience.

The guest performers were Jennifer Hudson and Miley Cyrus. Hudson sang “If This Isn’t Isn’t Love” and I thought she gave a good performance. Cyrus sang her new song “The Climb” and I really didn’t love it.

Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud were in the bottom three tonight. Anoop was the first to be sent back to the couch (thank goodness!) and I was shocked that Lil was the other to be declared safe!

While Matt sang for his life Paula and Kara stood, holding hands and singing to him. I found it really fake looking as if they were trying to dispel rumors that they are feuding.

Simon made a final announcement. Two people are going home next week and next week’s theme is disco.

American Idol 8 Top 8 Results Show Recap

Jeanne — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:02:00 +0000

Tonight’s American Idol results show started with a song from Simon Cowell’s year of birth (1959). Old footage of Frankie Avalon singing his hit song “Venus” was shown but then Avalon walked out on stage. It was a fun moment.

The Ford commercial this week featured Britney Spears’ single “Circus” and it was pretty good. I’ve found the commercials less entertaining this season so this was a bit of an improvement.

Flo Rida sang “Right Round” and can I saw that the girl who sings the hook (Kesha) annoyed me so much. Her singing was not great and she just irritated me.

Kellie Pickler performed “Best Days of Your Life” which was co-written with Taylor Swift, and it really did not sound good. I think it’s a cute song but I think she might have been trying to move around too much.

The bottom three were Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Scott MacIntyre and the judges said that a couple (one in particular but they didn’t specify) of them were worth saving. Lil was the first to be sent back to the couch and it was Scott vs. Anoop.

In the end, Scott had the fewest votes and Paula and Kara wanted to save him but, in the end, Randy and Simon disagreed and sent Scott home.

American Idol 8 Top 9 Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 02:02:35 +0000

The American Idol contestants showed us a bit about their lives and things have changed since they’ve been on the show. They spend a lot of time doing interviews, photo shoots and walking the red carpet (wow, I feel so sorry for them – ha ha!). They also revealed that they have a private chef (Scott requested a triple chocolate cake!).

Reigning Idol winner, David Cook, sang his song “Come Back to Me” and I was really happy to see him considering he had to cancel some shows due to some family issues. He was presented with a platinum record for his debut album (over a million copies sold).

Lady Gaga also took the stage and sang a very interesting version of her mega-hit, “Poker Face.” I am so sorry but I cannot stand her. I know she’s popular but she just seems to try too hard to be unique for me.

The bottom three consisted of Megan Joy, Allison Iraheta and Anoop Desai. When she was being put into the bottom, Ryan asked about how Megan felt about Simon’s harsh words following her performance last night. She said that she didn’t care about what Simon had to say (yikes!).

When it was announced that Megan had the fewest number of votes, Ryan asked whether the judges would consider saving her. Simon brought up what she had said about him and then said that the judges were now the ones do “don’t care” and that they would not be considering using the “save” on her. ROUGH!

Alexis Grace Eliminated on American Idol

Jeanne — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:07:14 +0000

During tonight’s results show, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta and Michael Sarver were in the bottom three. Allison was the first to be sent back to the couch. The judges revealed that they were considering saving one of them if it came to it. When it was announced that Michael was safe, Simon said that they would base their decision on how well Alexis sang “Jolene” for the second time. Unfortunately, the girl fell apart. It’s too bad because Simon actually looked sad when he told her that the judges had decided not to save her. I think this was a matter of picking the wrong song and then cracking under pressure. It’s too bad because she is talented.

Kelly Clarkson Performs “My Life Would Suck Without You” on American Idol

Jeanne — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:54:49 +0000

The original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, sang her new single “My Life Would Suck Without You” from her album All I Ever Wanted which was released yesterday. She wore all black which was pretty flattering but there was something missing in her eyes (in my opinion).

It was great to have her back on the show but, sometimes during the performance, she didn’t look like she wanted to be there. It was as if the personality would start to come out but then she would just kinda stand there and sing. Maybe it was nerves? Maybe it was my imagination? Anyway, the crowd seemed to really like it and that’s all that matters, right?

American Idol Season 8 Top 13 Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 01:24:59 +0000

It was an interesting episode tonight. We heard about the new rule, we saw this season’s first Ford commercial, performances by Kanye West and Kelly Clarkson and, of course, the two eliminations (pictures and video coming soon).

The first bottom two consisted of Jasmine Murray and Megan Joy. Megan didn’t have to sweat too long because Ryan told her she was safe. Jasmine performed and Ryan told her she would be eliminated unless the judges chose to save her. No pressure! Of course, Randy told her she was going home and we got to hear Carrie Underwood sing “Home Sweet Home” for the first time this season.

The second bottom two consisted of Anoop Desai and Jorge Nunez. Anoop was declared safe and Jorge was forced to sing “Never Can Say Goodbye” again. I always feel sorry for the people who have to sing after learning they’ve been eliminated. Simon confirmed that the judges were not going to save Jorge with their vote veto and he was sent home.

What do you think? Did the right people go home? I agree with Jasmine but I was sad to see Jorge go home so soon.
