So our four judges decided to save a contestant from elimination last week after America decided against him. That contestant was Matt Giraud and I am not sure I agree with those judges, but at least the save was used on someone somewhat promising.
Lil Rounds is very suddenly up, performing Chaka Kahn's "I'm Every Woman" and while it should be a piece of cake for her it was mostly whoaooohoooohs and what nots. Randy and Kara both are unimpressed. "You've been every woman but yourself up there" says Kara, and Paula notes that her voice was shot just yesterday, so as to give her an excuse for not being up to par. Simon is pretty clear that he doesn't think she'll be here next week. Well I don't think she has much of a shot either but why don't we see how bad our other six do first.
Kris Allen is going to perform "She Works Hard for the Money" with guitar. Why Kris why? It's got a Doobie Brothers "Without Love" feel to it and isn't nearly as bad as I figured it would be. In fact it may be his best reinterpretation yet. Kara loves the risk and says it paid off. In fact, everyone loves it and Kris is back at the top. Nice work my man.
Before the break, Allison is wearing Danny's glasses and hes pretends he can't see. Totally inappropriate Danny. Remember your blind fellow contestant Scott?
Danny Gokey once again proves that he's really got some chops on "September" by Earth Wind and Fire, but also proves that he's not a great dancer and makes questionable song choices. All the judges except Simon are loving Danny, but Simon is getting fed up with Danny's antics.
Allison is next with "Hot Stuff" and she is going far too adult for a family show like this. Her giant cross earrings may offset the content of the song, but I'm not too sure about her sparkling leather outfit either. Nonetheless it receives a standing ovation from much of the audience. Randy and Kara love her voice but didn't love the arrangement and Paula and Simon are on board as well.
Adam Lambert has chosen "If I Can't Have You" from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Leave it to Lambert to do an extremely slow song like this on disco night. Paula is of course enthralled beyond belief and is not the only person to give a standing ovation. He is very popular with the judges and Paula loves the way he left his heart on the stage. Right.
Matt Giraud picks what has got to be the most obvious yet obnoxious choice for disco night, "Stayin' Alive". He's got an awful lot of Michael Jackson type dance moves and some awful vocal mistakes in the awfully high range. It was as hokey and obvious as I expected and this could be the end for Matt, again.
Anoop is last with "Dance the Night Away". He's still got a pretty decent voice but he missed a couple notes big time. He just seems like such a tool. Judges have very positive things to say except for the ever wise Simon Cowell, who found it "Mediocre at best". I hope America agrees with Simon and I.
America's Bottom three tonight will be Lil, Matt and Anoop.
