Songs From The Year They Were Born Recap

When I heard the idol hopefuls were going to be doing songs from the year they were born I was quite excited because almost all of them were born in the 80s and the 80s had some awesome music. Btw, I now feel really old because I'm older than all of the contestants. Boo hoo!

So, after watching the show, in my opinion (which counts for much of nothing really) most of the contestants just didn't choose the right 80s songs. What do you think?

Our Favorites Of The Night:

1. Adam Lambert - Adam's version of "Mad World" by Tears for Fears was awesome! I had a feeling he'd be singing a Tears for Fears song and it was hands down the best performance of the night. I think Adam is becoming my favorite.

2. Matt Giraud- Matt sang "Part Time Lover" by Stevie Wonder and it was really good! He really made it his own. I'm crossing my fingers that America loved him too and he's not in the bottom 3. He's definitely top 3 material!

3. Anoop- Wow, Anoop sang "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper beautifully last night. I think this is the first time I have ever put Anoop ahead of Danny.

Least Favorites Of The Night:

Scott & Lil

Who We Think Should Go Home:

Scott or Lil

Dial Idol gives the top spot to Adam Lambert. The rest are "unpredictable" with Kris being at the main bottom.

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?
