Idol Results Show: Michael Sarver Goes Home

It wasn't a huge surprise that Michael Sarver was sent home last night. He had the weakest vocals and personality next to Scott. I personally would have preferred that Scott go home first but America decided and it is what it is.

Now on to Matt and his trip in the bottom 3. WOW.

When I saw that Matt Giraud was in the bottom 3 my heart nearly stopped. I was stunned. Was anyone else really surprised that he was in the bottom 3 or am I in some dream world over here? Lets keep Matt in the competition PLEASE! I'd like to see Matt, Adam, Danny, & Anoop in the top 4.

Next week the idols are singing disco. Who's going to suck? Will Adam become even more awesome?

American Idol Motown Week Recap

You may have noticed that we were MIA last week. Type A flu had us down but were back. ;)

Anyway, on to last night...

There were some really good performances last night and some awful train-wreck performances last night. But I'm sure you know that already.

Matt Giraud - He sang Let's Get It On. I absolutely LOVED it. I thought it was sexy and current as the judges always say.

Kris Allen - He sang How Sweet It Is and played his guitar. I like the guy. I'm just not blown away by him.

Scott MacIntyre - He sang You Can't Hurry Love. This is a great song but Scott didn't do it justice. It was the most boring performance of the night. We all like you Scott but it's time to go.

Megan Joy - She sang For Once In My Life. I agree with the judges on this one. It was a horrible trainwreck. It didn't even sound like the song at all. As much as I'd like to see her stick around for entertainment value I think she is in danger of going home this week.

Anoop Desai - He sang Ooh Baby Baby. There's just something about Anoop that makes you really like him. I don't know what it is...it's just there. This performance wasn't as good as his performance last week. However I think he did enough to stick around.

Michael Sarver - He sang Aint Too Proud To Beg. I'll be honest and say this song was a disaster. It just didn't work for him and it was verging on being manic. Seacrest mentioned Michael being sick but they didn't disclose what was wrong. Was it the flu? Something else? Either way, I really think Michael is in danger of going home.

Lil' Rounds - She sang Heatwave. In the beginning I thought I was going to be a big fan of Lil. But she is getting more boring every week. Yes, she can sing but she's not that entertaining.

Adam Lambert - He sang Tracks of My Tears. And, wow did he sing it! Every week Adam surprises us and it's always good. This was my favorite performance of the night. Go Adam!

Danny Gokey - He sang Get Ready. I love his energy. He's fun and he has a great voice. However, he was outshined by Adam and Matt last night.

Allison Iraheta - She sang Papa Was A Rolling Stone. She can sing but I'm just not that into her as a performer. I couldn't see myself buying her music. She's in the last spot so she will get more votes this week.

My 3 favorites of the night in order:

1. Adam Lambert
2. Matt Giraud
3. Danny Gokey

Who I Think Should Go Home:

Scott, Michael or Megan.

Who do you think will go home?

The Top 13 Recap: Adam & Matt Rocks!

Lil Rounds - Her outfit was horrendous but her voice was on point. She did a good job but I wasn't blown away.

Scott MacIntyre - His performance was verging on boring but overall it was ok. He's not going anywhere though.

Danny Gokey - Honestly, I adore him and I love his distinct voice. However, I wished he would have picked a different song.I can't wait to hear what he sings next week.

Michael Sarver - This is one guy I try to like because he's a family man. He did Ok last night but again I wasn't blown away by his performance.

Jasmine Murray - Going in she was one of my least favorite contestants but she actually did a pretty good job of this song. I still think she may be on her way out.

Kris Allen - He's cute that's for sure and he's better with his guitar but I think he is another one who is at risk of going home.

Allison Iraheta - She's definitely a great singer at the age of 16 but overall her performance was just Ok for me.

Anoop Desai - Despite his horrible song choice I still like him. He's such a likeable person that I just want to see him again next week.

Jorge Nunez - Here's another one that I was not a fan of coming in and I'm still not a fan based on last night's very boring performance.

Megan Corkrey - I absolutely adore her unique voice and I liked her last night but overall it was just OK.

Adam Lambert - Adam was definitely entertaining as usual. I wouldn't say I was excited as the judges were about him because I HATE that song by Michael Jackson. However, he definitely did great and he's hot!

Matt Giraud - Matt was by far my favorite of the night. I loved the song. I loved that he played the piano. Like the judges said, he does have that Justin Timberlake/Robin Thicke vibe. I'd definitely listen to his version of Human Nature on my iPod. I can't wait to see what he sings next!

Alexis Grace - I've liked her all along but last night's performance was a bit manic-y.

Who We Think Should Go Home:

Jorge Nunez
Jasmine Murray
Scott MacIntyre

Who Will go home? It's hard to tell because of "the twist" coming up tonight. What do you think? Who do you think will go home and what do you think the twist will be?

Idols Sing Michael Jackson This Week

On Tuesday night the top 13 Idol finalists will be singing songs by Michael Jackson. Overall, I think this is going to be really tough for some and easy for a few of them.

I'd love to hear Danny Gokey or Matt Giraud sing one of my favorites You Are Not Alone or a classic like I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Of course I cannot wait to hear AND see what Adam Lambert will sing. I'm sure it will be quite entertaining no matter what.

What do you think of the finalists singing songs by Michael Jackson? What do you want to hear? Who do you think will totally screw up during Michael Jackson week?

Which one of the 13 is your favorite?

And Anoop Desai Makes 13

A first in American Idol history - Instead of having a top 12 there is now a top 13. The 4 that made it through after singing their hearts out were:

Anoop Desai (fave)
Matt Giraud (fave)
Megan Corkrey (growing on me)
Jasmine Murray (would have rather have seen Jesse Langseth in her place)

So, did the judges choose your favorite?

Our Picks For The WildCard Round

Our choices for the WildCard round. Who do you want to see get through?


Matt Giraud
Jesse Langseth
Anoop Desai

I'm hoping there's some sort of twist and we get someone else back too!

Group 3 Results: Scott MacIntyre Is Through

I was really surprised with last nights results. I was hoping that Ju'not Joyner or Felicia Barton was going to get through to the top 12 rather than Jorge. What are your thoughts? Are you happy with the way America voted?

So far the ones who have made it through to the top 12 are:

Jorge Nunez
Lil' Rounds (fave)
Scott MacIntyre
Adam Lambert (fave)
Kris Allen
Alison Iraheta
Danny Gokey (fave)
Michael Sarver
Alexis Grace

So, who will make it through the wild card round? Will there be another twist? I don't care what happens as long as Tatiana does not get through. If American Idol wanted to bring someone back for pure entertainment and/or to keep their ratings up they should have chosen Nathaniel or Nick/Normund. Don't you agree?
