American idol had it’s results show last night on May 13, 2009. The results are….Danny Gokey is going home. I personally liked Danny pretty well. I did think Kris did out-perform him on Wednesday, but Danny has an awesome voice & definitely needs to pursue a career in the music industry.Kris Allen & Adam Lambert will compete in next week’s American Idol Finale show.
Summary of the Tuesday Night Performances on American Idol Season 8 (May 12, 2009):
I think Adam Lambert really did the worse he has done thus far on this past Tuesday. He butchered both songs in my opinion, especially the Aerosmith song. It sounded terrible & was all over the place. He did slightly better on the U2 song, but I still wasn’t impressed. He has done much better in the past.
To be honest, I am surprised the judges didn’t call him out on that either. It made me feel as if they were being a little biased or something toward Adam. It is like they are afraid to say something bad because they want him to win (thinking he will sell the most records & make the most money). Randy was the only one that kind of pointed out the fact that he was off in parts. He was WAY OFF in my opinion on that Aerosmith song.
Kris did the best of all on Tuesday I thought. Especially the Kanye West song, I thought he nailed that one. He also sounded just like the One Republic band during his first performance, which I think is a compliment considering the bands huge success.
Danny Gokey’s performances on Tuesday were both good, but very mediocre. He did best on the 2nd song, and I think Paula kind of hurt his chances by picking that very boring first song. I think that is one thing that hurt him in the votes.
Summary of the Wednesday Night Results Show on American Idol Season 8 (May 13, 2009)
There was a performance by a young African boy named Noah. He did a great job singing & dancing. You have to give the little guy props for going out there on stange on live television & performing.
I think it was quite obvious he was lip syncing, but then again, he is very young, and just learned the song in English this past week (according to Alishia Keys). So I don’t mind at all that he lip synced the song. Actually, I prefer for an artist to have vocals in the background to make the song sound better (I hate when they get out of breath, etc.).
Kate Perry also performed, and she had a cape outfit that resembled something Elvis Presley would have worn. On the back of her cape it said Adam Lambert’s name. So I guess it is no secret who she is rooting for.
I really thought her performance was a little trashy, and quite frankly she isn’t my favorite artist at all. On one shot her butt-cheeks were hanging out of the back of her costume. Fox should really censor these guest singer’s outfits! Kids watch this show Fox!
The Contestant’s Visit Back Home
The contestants also got to visit their home-town last week. It showed footage on the Wednesday show. They all had a great turnout, and many many fans supporting them.
I thought that the 2 funny/memorable moments was the girl in the red-plaid pajama pants chasing after Danny Gokey, lol. Can you imagine how embarrased that girl must be seeing herself running like that on television.
The other memorable moment was the girl streaking in her bra to Adam Lambert. That girl was crazy! She is probably in huge trouble right now. I wonder if she even realizes that he doesn’t like girls in that way (if you know what I mean)?
My Predictions for Next Week’s American Idol Season 8 Finale
I still think anyone can win at this point. It is obvious who the judges want to win (cough, cough..Adam Lambert). But I do think that Kris Allen has a huge chance of winning.
If I am not mistaken, they should each get to sing 3 songs each. These 3 songs will “make or break” them. Whoever performs the best, wins in my opinion.
If Kris really busts out something unique & original (like he did with that Kanye West song), then he may be able to bag the win. But that is the only way he will win. Personally, I like Kris, and I hope he wins.
If Kris only performs mediocre songs with mediocre performances, it is a safe bet to say that Adam Lambert will probably win (regardless of Adam’s performances). I can’t wait to see who will win! One week from now, we will have a new “Idol” winner.
