last night, american idol season 8 finalists sang movie theme songs and their guest mentor is none other than director quentin tarantino. expectations are high since we are down to our top 7 finalists and some took risk which paid off and some still did not deliver. so here is my rankings of last night's show:7. anoop desai - i did not like the arrangement of the song. it was too slow for me and he was tentative at times. he still shows so much inconsistency. i will not be surprised if he goes home this week.
6. matt giraud - i did noot like his take on the song. i agree with randy, the first part was good but the middle and end was disaster. he was out of tune at the middle and seems to be catching his breath. i was very disappointed.
5. adam lambert - i still did not like his performance. i think it was over the top. it was too loud and shouty for my taste. too dramatic and i don't really get the hype he is receiving. it was just okay.
4. lil rounds - contrary to what others thought, i think her performance last night is one of her best so far since the top 13 performances. she sounded great and it was a good performance. did she deserve the pimp spot? no. but that could get her some votes.
3. allison iraheta - she chose one of my favorite songs and she did justice to it. for the first time, she showed the control that i was looking for. she started soft and she built it up towards the middle. she did not sound too shouty and i really like her voice.
2. danny gokey - another good performance from danny. i did not like the start, it was too slow and a bit too low for him. but when he reached the chorus part, it was really damn good. this is one of his best yet.
1. kris allen - i totally disagree with randy on this one, kris sounded good last night. i did not know the song he sang but he made me want to know the song. this is not his best performance but he definitely nailed the song.
so my bottom three based on performance are anoop, matt and adam. but i don't think this will be the bottom three after the votes. i predict that the bottom three will be anoop, matt and lil. lil might not be there since she got the pimp spot and she might get the sympathy votes. if she escapes the bottom three, i think allison be in the bottom three.
so who had the lowest votes? i think anoop desai has and will sing for his life tonight. i have said this before that
will the judges save him? no.
