American Idol Season 8 Top 4 Results Show

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 Top 5 Results Show

The results show started with this week’s Ford commercial, we saw the group number (a medley of songs from the Rat Pack era) and then we saw footage of a food fight that erupted at the American Idol mansion while they celebrated Allison Iraheta’s birthday.Natalie Cole and Taylor Hicks performed. It was a pretty good performance from Taylor and I hope that it gets the word out about his new music and gives his sales a nice boost.

Jamie Foxx also sang his new song “Blame It” but I don’t know if it counts as singing if your voice is so digitized. I’m so tired of hearing songs like that on the radio now. When it first came out, it was cool but now it just takes all the talent out of the singing.

After 47 million votes, Matt Giraud, was eliminated from the show, just a couple weeks after being kept in the competition by the judges’ save.

What do you think of this one? I’m pretty happy. I think America got it right.

The Votes Are In: Alexis, Michael and Danny Advance To American Idol Top 12

Jeanne — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:54:48 +0000

Tonight, they announced the first three contestants to make it to the Top 12 on the eighth season of American Idol. America voted and the following people made it:

Alexis Grace sang “Never Loved a Man”

Michael Sarver sang “I Don’t Wanna Be”

Danny Gokey sang “Hero”

What do you think of the results? Are you surprised? Happy? Mad? I was so upset when I saw Michael Sarver and Anoop Desai standing there together. I wanted them both to make it.
