Top 8

American Idol 8 Top 8

This week’s theme is “ Songs from the year they were born”. Could have been called 80’s week.

Danny – (Stand by me) I am off the Danny train. The hype is over for me. Danny is not going to win against Adam so stop faking the funk. This performance was just okay for me. Not a fan.

Kris – (All she wants to do is dance) Kris was stellar last week but this week not so much. I am not a fan of this performing in the moshpit. Another okay performance – not sure that was a good song choice but just okay.

Lil – (What’s love got to do with it) When I first saw this I thought the judges were unusually harsh on Lil yet again. After a second watch – and a few conversations, I have to agree Lil was channeling Tina, with the short skirt and Tina walk. That said she did a good job but she is spending too much time worrying about what the judges think.

Anoop – (True Colors) Only Anoop could sing this song sporting a lime green Boys to Men sweater. I aint mad at dude for staying true to his goal of a R&B soulster. It was good – we have forgotten all about Beat it.

Scott – (Search is over) Besides sticking to my claim the man can see. I have nothing else to say. Especially since I am typing this after knowing Scott is outtie. Scott had a great ride this season- not sure how much was talent but kudos for making it to the top 8.

Allison – (Can’t make you love me) She is good and could easily slip past one of the dudes to make the top 2.

Matt – (Parttime love) I thought Mini JT was good but not as great as the judges said. I have no idea what last week was about but he is forgiven. Matt will be getting my favorite of the week.

Adam- (Mad world) Simon gave it a standing ovation. Adam will win this season because he is going to sing his song, the way he wants. He is enjoying his world stage and knows he doesn’t have to win this show to become a star.
