megan joy corkrey became the 5th idol eliminated in the finals of the 8th season of american idol. this came after a the performance night with the theme top 100 itunes download of all time. this theme gave a chance for the idols to be current and contemporary or stick with classics and make it their own. this week, idol got over 36 million votes from the viewers after the performance night.group performance last night was a journey song, "don't stop believin'". i think they did a great job and i like the fact that they sang a journey song since the new vocalist of the group is arnel pineda, a filipino. so much about nationalistic pride.
the idols were first grouped into 3. the first group was composed of kris allen, megan corkrey and matt giraud. of the three, i think only kris gave a great performance of the night, even the best performance last night. after the voites were tallied, kris andf matt were safe and megan is in the bottom 3. megan even commented that she did not care what simon said about her performance last night.
the second group was composed of adam lambert, lil rounds and allison iraheta. these three are middle persons in the performance, they were not great but were not bad. but i rated adam the lowest among the three but considering their fanbase, i think it will be alison in the bottom 3. and after the vote, lil and adam are safe. allison is in the bottom 3 for the second time.
the last group was scott macintyre, danny gokey and anoop desai. this should be easy. danny and scott gave a better performance than anoop and i think it will be anoop in the bottom except if his fans gave it all last night, then it would be scott. so after the vote, it was anoop in the bottom 3.
so the bottom 3 this week is anoop, megan and allison. allison is the only surprise in that group, with the judges commenting that there is only 1 person worth saving, and i assume that would be allison.
guests for tonight are season 7 winner david cook and lady gaga. david sang his new single "come back to me" and he is still rocking the stage. he is really good. he was also surprised with a platinum record award for his album, hitting the 1 million sales in only 3 months. lady gaga also did a great performance with her hit song poker face.
so back to the results. the first sent to safety among the three was allison. still no surprise there. allison gave a good performance last night. so it is anoop and megan tonight. i predicted it wiull be anoop tonight but unfortunately, it was megan who got the lowest number of votes. i guess the votefortheworst.com guys did not vote last night. before she sang, simon said that since she does not care about their comments, they already decided that they don't care either, so they will not save her.
so megan will be going home to her son but will still go on tour after the season.
next week's theme will be songs from the year they were born. so we will be hearing songs mostly from the 80's. oldest among the group is danny gokey (1980), followed by adam lambert (1982). lil rounds was born in 1984 and the year after (1985), it was scott macintyre, kris allen and matt giraud. the two youngest are anoop desai (1986) and allison iraheta (1992).
