  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 … More

• American Idol 8 Top 7 Lil Rounds “I’m Every Woman”

  By: Jeanne | 6 Comments | Apr 21, 6:08pm ET

  Lil Rounds chose to sing “I’m Every Woman” for Disco Week and I think it was a smart choice but I didn’t love the delivery.  I don’t know what to think of Lil.  She’s got the voice, the look and everything she needs to be a star but she continues … More

  Lil Rounds was born in 1984 and she chose to sing Tina Turner’s song “What’s Love Got to Do With It?”  I think it was a good song choice for her voice but I would have liked it better if she sang something that was a little more challenging although … More

  By: Jeanne | 1 Comment | Mar 25, 7:25pm ET

  Lil Rounds chose to sing “Heatwave” and I have to give her some real props for going all out with her old-school Motown-inspired dress and hairstyle. While I love Lil’s voice and think this was a decent song choice for her, I felt like she oversang it at times.  The … More

• American Idol 8 Top 11 – Lil Rounds “Independence Day”

  By: Jeanne | Comment | Mar 17, 7:02pm ET

  Lil Rounds chose to sing Martina McBride’s big hit “Independence Day” and, while I absolutely love Lil, I wasn’t a huge fan of this performance.  The crowd seemed to enjoy it but I wouldn’t have picked that song for her.

  Randy said it was an interesting and ambitious song choice but … More
