I have to say that I am a bit surprised that this week I'm not seeing eye-to-eye with the judges. Here's why:
1. Lil
I thought she looked great. I thought she picked the right opening song - it got me not on my feet but I was boppin' my head! I thought she did a good job. But I didn't think her end note was all that as Kara said it was. Even though I thought she looked great, I didn't care for her pants. But it sure made me notice her big booty! :D
2. Scott
I was so glad to see him perform with his piano. it gave him a great opportunity to showcase his talent. I thought he picked a good song and it fitted him well. I thought he sang well. I didn't know he can hit notes like that! I forgot that it was Michael Jackson week until Kara reminded me of it!
3. Danny
My boy! It wasn't the song I would've picked but I still thought he did an awesome job. Great vocals (Simon said so too) and I liked that he was interacting with the audience.
4. Michael
He reminded me of a country version of Nick Lachey! I thought he did good. Sure can sing! It was better than I thought.
5. Jasmine
I thought the song was fitting for her age?! But at the same time I thought it was safe and boring! I didn't think it was anything special.
6. Kris
I thought it was very interesting that he played an ACOUSTIC guitar with the song! That to me was different and unique, so it was fresh. He has a nice voice. I thought he did better than when he sang "Man in the Mirror" (also by MJ; guess they weren't kidding when they said that he was MJ fan?!).
7. Allison
Even though she's pretty good I still thought there was room for improvement when she sang "Alone" just a few weeks ago. But because she's only 16, I have to give her major props. I thought her performance tonight was just okay. Frankly I was expecting more from her. She definitely comes across as a very seasoned performer though.
8. Anoop
I thought he did him: Anoop. He performed "Beat It" like he twice-performed "My Perrogative". He had fun. I didn't think it was as bad as the judges put it. Afterall, they put him through after the twice-performed "My Perrogative", so it can't be THAT bad.
9. Jorge
He can sing and I love his accent! At one point it got so strong I thought he was singing IN Spanish! I thought he did a good job. I don't think it was as bad as the judges said.
10. Megan
I didn't know how she was going to do when they said it was Michael Jackson week. When I saw her outfit I knew she was going to do an upbeat song and, this is no joke, I was praying that she would not dance. To my surprise, when she did the booty shake from left to right to the beat when the song started, I thought, okay, I can deal with this. But it wasn't long before she got back to her old quirky ways (of dancing)! Anyway, dancing aside...As soon as she started singing, I thought she picked the right song for her. I liked her spin on the song and later just like Kara said, "everything Megan touches is "that's so Megan"". I have to disagree with Simon this time - I don't think she picked a "stupid song".
11. Adam
I had a feeling Adam was going to excel in Michael Jackson week because of his theatrical background. I was not surprised when he put on a show like that. It reminded me of his "Satisfaction" performance. I think he is a great performer and belongs on broadway. Not sure if I can see him as American Idol. I still find his voice extremely annoying.
12. Matt
I loved that he performed with a piano because that's what he's good at. I thought his performance was good but I was expecting more. I don't know if he's got the Robin Thicke thing goin' on but I agree with the Justin Timberlake thing. I think Matt's got the JT and Elliott Yamin thing going on.
13. Alexis
As soon as she opened her mouth I was already blown away. I thought she did an awesome job! Although towards the end I wasn't so sure. But all in all, that was hot!
My prediction of who are going home this week: Jasmine & Anoop
