4-7-2009 American Idol LIVE Report

I'm LIVE reporting from home!

Okay. The press and the media gave Simon so much grief last week over his harsh remark to Megan right before she was supposed to sing for her life. I didn't think what Simon said was harsh or rude - he was just being Simon! People, Simon has been the way he is for the past 8 years, you still have a problem with it? You know what, if that's the case, then STOP WATCHING! If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen! Besides, I think Megan deserved it after her smack-talking.

1. Danny Gokey (born in 1980 and he's the oldest in the competition? Gees, what a slap in my face!) As soon as Danny started singing Stand By Me I was already like, oh, this is gonna be good. It was an original version and to match that with Danny's voice?! It was awesome!

2. Kris Allen (1985; All She Wants To Do Is Dance)
I don't know this song so...I do like it that they're allowing the contestants to sing on other than the stage...It makes them look much more professional. It makes me feel like I'm watching a performance rather than being constantly reminded of watching a singing competition.

3. Lil Rounds (1984; What's Love Got To Do With It)
Her makeup makes her look like Keyshia Cole and Keri Hilson tonight! I thought the song choice was her best one yet. Not great, but okay.

4. Anoop Desai (1986; True Colors)
He was such a cute baby/kid! Great song and I think he sang it well.

5. Scott MacIntyre (1985; The Search Is Over)
Great song, but I think he struggled a bit. It was quite pitchy for me.

6. Allison Iraheta (1992; I Can't Make You Love Me)
Love this song. As a matter of fact, I like it so much that I sang to it and posted onto my YouTube Channel! :D I think Allison is great, she makes every song her own. Wow, I think Allison did really well tonight. There were some really good parts in her version. I think this was her best performance yet.

7. Matt Giraud (1985; Part Time Lovers)
I love Matt's performance tonight. It is young and hip and full of soul, which he is so good at, vocally. I love the whole R&B JT vibe he has going on. Again, it's young and hip and cool and fun and I LOVE it!

8. Adam Lambert (1982; ???)
Don't know this song and didn't catch the name. You know, I do think that Adam has mad vocals but I still think that he belongs on broadway or something. I don't really think American Idol's for him, or the other way around. Standing ovation from Simon?! I didn't expect that!

Almost forgot my bottom 3 prediction! My guesses are Lil and Scott. Maybe Kris as the 3rd?!
