Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai departed last week. And, I have to say that I really missed Anoop on last night's show.
When the show started and we found out that the idols were doing "Brat Pack" music I was really thinking it was going to be a disaster but after watching last night I think it went pretty well. Each of them had a solid performance. No one really blew me away but they were all really good. I will mention again here something I said on Twitter - Adam Lambert is too good for American Idol.
So who's my favorite?
This year's American Idol is unlike any other in history. There is so much talent that I cannot pick a favorite at this point. I've been saying it from the beginning - Adam, Danny, Kris & Matt deserve to be in the top 4. After seeing last night's performance, I'm excited and hopeful. Each of these 4 guys bring something unique and entertaining to the show.
My rankings for last night's performances:
1 Adam Lambert
2 Kris Allen
3 Matt Giraud
4 Danny Gokey
5 Allison Iraheta
What does the rest of America think? Will the guys rule the top 4 spots? Or will Matt will go home?

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.

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?
