american idol 8: top 8 sings songs from the year they were born

this week's theme for the top 8 is the songs from the year they were born. each has a year's list of songs to choose from and some had unusual choices. so who made the right song choices? who sounded way older than they look? so here is my ranking on the top 8 performances.

8. scott macintyre - it was just not the song for him. it was just forgettable. he sounded off and he looked awkward. we have seen him on the piano for so long and now that he is standing up, it looks weird.

7. lil rounds - another wrong song choice. i think randy was right to say that lil is not listening to them. her voice sounded weak and it was really too big for her. i think this is her worst performance so far in the finals.

6. allison iraheta - her voice souded okay but i did not like the song. i don't know the song, it was unfamiliar. quite forgettable but not bad. and i still don't dig the outfit. hope she gets a new stylist next week

5. kris allen - i love kris but this is definitely one of his weakest performance. his showmanship was not emphasized since he performed in the audience, not on the stage. but he played with the melody quite a bit and he still sounds great.

4. anoop desai - this is his best performance yet. he got the right song. i did not like the first part. i can't understand some of his words but he picked up in the middle and sounded great towards the end. enough to put him through the next round. i agree with simon, anoop really lacks consistency.

3. adam lambert - adam sounded good, but not great. this is one of his better performances but not the best. it was okay, he showed his control and was noit too shouty. it was okay but i don't think it deserved the standing ovation from the judges. i heard better performances from other contestants in the previous weeks.

2. danny gokey - danny sounded great even though the arrangement was not that good.i agree with kara that he was powering the song from the start to the end. it shows his control, great build up and his showmanship. one of his best thus far.

1. matt giraud - this is matt's best performane thus far. he got out of the piano and did his thing. i think this is the first song he sang that i can clearly understand all the words he is singing. his voice sounded great and he worked out that stage. he showed he has what it takes to win this, but will the viewers vote for him? i think he still lacks the charisma that the other boys has

so my bottom three are scott, allison and lil. sorry but the guys are definitely out singing the girls this season. i think allison will be sent to safety first which leaves us with scott and lil as the bottom 2.

my fearless forecast: the one with the lowest number of votes will be... scott macintyre.

will the judges use their save? no. definitely not.

i have not been correct so far except for megan last week.hope i get this right again. let's tune in tomorrow night to find out.
