Live blogging here..
Isaac is voting for Adam and I'm voting for Kris, but probably neither of us will actually vote so in a way, our opinion doesn't matter one iota. However, I'm still writing!
Contestant Pick of songs from the season
First song is supposed to be one of the contestant's best performances of the season. Adam chooses Mad World, which was probably MY favorite of his performances because it was soft and tender. He's appealing to the masses here - the crowd that doesn't like his scream. Nice move.
Kris picks Ain't No Sunshine, which is also a pick for the masses. I liked Falling Slowly better, but this was truly beautiful, and the song where he first really stuck out to me as someone that could take a song and make it something new and beautiful.
Man, I just gotta say, I love Kris. LOVE his style.
Okay, Randy is wearing a plaid retro jacket, a checked purple and white shirt, and a polka-dotted tie. WHAT IN THE WORLD. Meanwhile, Paula looks like she stayed too long in the tanning machine, and her shirt reminds me of a lime popsicle.
Round one - Kris wins, but it's a close one.
Producer Picks:
Adam performs Change is Gonna Come. This is interesting because in my opinion it's different than anything he's done before. It is bluesy, almost southern gospel. He gets in a good long screech, though, and it fits the song. Seriously, this feels like a gospel choir performance except for the black nail polish. He is wearing a suit, though!
How hilarious is it that Adam totally avoided country music on country week, but managed to fit it in in the finale? It was great, as Randy says, "you can sing your face off!". I don't know what the judges are talking about though - this wasn't his best performance or interpretation. Not to say that it wasn't good, it's just that he's been phenomenal theo whole season, so I don't know how this particularly tops it.
Kris is singing something... I forget the name of it. I can sorta see why the producer picked it - it's a chill pop song, and they are dressing it up with the djembe. Kris does it well - but I often hate the producer and judges pick of songs, and I also hate the songs that they give the winner on their first cd. It all tends to be so cheesy and just... crap. Regardless of their voice. I felt like this song choice was that kind of a pick. Crap. He did alright, given the song choice.
Round two, Adam wins and I mentally lecture Simon Fuller.
Kara's Songs
*sigh*... I don't have a good feeling about this at all.
Adam is doing an intense tender song that will probably end in screams. Wait for it.... it's intensifying.... here it comes...
hey I heard a sour note! First I've heard from Adam all season. Maybe his voice is tired.
Wow, I was totally wrong. No scream. And I didn't like the song and found the entire performance uninteresting and probably one of Adam's worst of the season.
Way to go Kara.
I gotta say the start of Kris's song is boring.
Did he just forget a line or was it just paced funny?
He's singing better than Adam did, ironically, but it's more mountains and dreams and pink bunnies and butterflies (okay I lied about the last two).
I need to go listen to some Coldplay, I think. Something semi-depressing to conteract the cheez-whiz.
Way to go again, Kara.
Round Three leaves the contestants even and Kara being roasted over the coals.
Wow. that was a rather uninteresting show.
Who will win? I'm guessing Kris, mostly because the vast majority of people that liked Danny will probably vote Kris. I like Kris better but I hate the cds that Simon's record company puts out with the winners, so I almost hope he loses and gets to pick his own record deal.

American Idol - Top 9
Wow, what a night. I actually really liked tonight, and I'm really loving this group of finalists.... for the most part. My friend Alysa commented on last week's Idol post that Matt helped lead the worship at her father-in-law's church. That piqued my interest and I did a little research and was amazed to find out that out of the top 11 contestants, FIVE of them helped lead worship at their churches. I already knew about Danny Gokey and Michael Sarver, and on top of that Matt, Kris, and Scott all do as well. Must make some interesting dynamics for Adam!
Anoop Desai -
Hmm.... Anoop decides to do Usher because he's looking for something with more energy. By the time the first line was out of his mouth I had already thought, "Wow, even if he nails this song vocally it's still going to be a strange performance because the man can't look urban to save his life." I've heard other reviewers complain about his frat-boy look, but today Anoop seemed to really be trying to look more cool, but the attempt failed miserably and he looked still looked like a nerd dressed up to sing an Usher song. He's a lovable nerd... but... still a nerd. In the end, his vocals were fine and so was the performance (not nearly as bad as the judges said), but I was left thinking that I just can't see Anoop being a hit singer.
Megan Joy-
Sorry Alysa, I know you like Megan! I do too - I really, really like the quality of her voice and I think it's unique enough to be enjoyable on the radio. The problem is that she has yet to perform well on stage. And .... that's sort of necessary. In any case, Megan sang a Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill song, which I was initially excited about because I thought it would really showcase her husky voice. Hmm... it was SO awkward. All of her little dancy moves were just painful to watch, and she still seems nervous, so it all just fell flat. Then, when the judges raked her over the coals for her performance she waved it off and said she knew what they wanted now and she hoped she'd get the chance to follow their advice next week. I thought the same thing Simon said in the background, "That's what you say every week!" Megan has lost me as a fan - I've stopped voting for her.
Danny Gokey
When Danny said he'd be singing a Rascal Flatts song, Isaac and I knew it would be a good choice for him. Danny was an early favorite and I think since everyone was familiar with him he's been getting lost in the excitement of everyone finding new people that they like. It's important for him to really reconnect emotionally now to keep his fans.... and he did. I got goosebumps at the line "never knowing what could have been", in light of the loss of his wife. It was electric. In the end I think it actually wasn't Danny's best performance, and in the comparison of his single voice to the four-part harmony of Rascal Flatts, Danny seemed pretty plain. Still, as Isaac said, there is something so appealing about him! We laughed because the worship pastor in Danny totally comes out. It just makes sense - he knows how to put emotion into a song!
Alison Iraheta
Alison chose "Don't Speak" by No Doubt. I thought the song would potentially be right up her alley as an intense rock song. She was playing the guitar for the first time, and that worked for her. From the first note it was beautiful, although I really loved the unique subdued beginning more then I liked the intensity of the rock at the end. At the end of the song Isaac turned to me and declared, "She is just ridiculous." She is so consistent, she has such fantastic vocal maturity, and every song she sings is amazing. However, I have to agree with Randy. WHAT was she wearing?? As soon as the group walked out I was like, "I hate Allison's hair!"
Scot MacIntyre
Well, Scot really "worked it out" (as Randy says) with Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". I chuckled when he said in his intro video piece that he was going to "strip down, it'll just be me and the piano." Really? Stripped down? Haven't all your performances been stripped down? Is this really anything new? In any case, I don't think Scot knows how to do contemporary songs, but for some reason this song really clicked with him and his performance was really good - the best so far. I bet it'll keep him in for another week.
Matt Giraud
When Matt said he was going to sing "You Found Me" from The Fray, I was excited. I thought the song would really fit his voice and style, and I was really impressed with how he changed up the tune. I LOVED IT. I thought It was the kind of performance I'd buy on itunes and listen to over and over again. He really brought me in as a fan for the first time. So, when Paula totally hammered Matt in her critique I was like, WHAT?? I totally disagreed with all of the judges. Someone compared it to when he sang Coldplay and said that rock isn't his style, he's more R&B. I thought - who says? I loved his coldplay performance and I really think he might make a better moody rocker that throws in R&B somewhere. Lets face it - he's certainly not Justin Timberlake, no matter what the judges say. Dude, curly blond hair and scruff doesn't mean mean the boy can dance it out.
Lil Rounds
Same story this week. Lil did Celine Dion's "I Surrender". She sings beautifully. She has a big voice and does big songs, but there was still no connection between her and the audience (or me). Why is that? Randy said she needed more swagger, and I thought that was a good point. I think she needs to do something sassy and fun - Mary J. was a good recommendation. However, at the end when the camera panned to her little girls and one of them gave Randy a hug it was completely adorable, and Lil's tears really helped to give some depth and emotion to her personality. That was a good moment for her. Baby girl deserves an ice-cream on the way home for that one!
Adam Lambert
Seriously, Adam is on a role. THAT WAS AWESOME. He did Wild Cherries "Play That Funky Music". It reminded me of Blake Lewis sort of song choice and is really different then what Adam has done before... but then he's really taken himself out of all categories in the last three weeks, so what am I talking about? In any case, it's a funky song, not a rock show, and Adam did what he's been doing - he took the song and just smashed it, in a good way. He totally sold it, it was just infectious and and SO MUCH FUN. I don't always like the Idol band, but Adam just works the band, and this arrangement was awesome. It's a bit surreal to look back and remember how annoyingly weird Adam was back at the start of this season - he's totally transformed himself.
Please forgive the totally inappropriate introductory comments on this youtube video - it's only an hour since the show ended, and I can't find a better version. I'll try to update in the morning.
Kris Allen
Kris has slowly but surely been impressing me. I thought he was just a preppy kid that had a decent voice, but he's really showing some style and depth now. His performance of "Ain't No Sunshine" sort of reminded me of what Jason Castro did with "Hallelujah". He really made it so tender . I thought it was beautiful, and all of my worries of it being corny were disproved. The man can play piano as well as guitar! And he's workin' the nasty-stash, it looks surprisingly good on him. This week I found a series of photos from Kris and his church group and a missions trip to Thailand. He looked like such a typical Christian college kid, and I thought during the tenderness of his performance that his wife was probably watching and thinking "My husband is HOT!" because he really has transformed himself.
My faves of the week?
Danny Gokey
Adam Lambert
Kris Allen
Matt Giraud
And - as a plug, watch this youtube video of Rascal Flatt's latest hit, Here Comes Goodbye. It was written by Chris Sligh, the chubby guy with curly hair from American Idol a few seasons ago. Chris Sligh grew up in Europe with the same mission that my hubby's family was with, so we were excited when he made it on the show, and we loved his snarky humor (and the fact that he got kicked out of Pensacola for seeing an FFH concert - what??). In any case, the song is about a breakup, but the music video makes an entirely different point and left me (and Isaac, but don't tell anyone! :)) in tears.

Idol and Lost thoughts
It's super frustrating to have my two shows be at the same night, and to have my small group also on that night.
Lost - He's Our You
I cheated and read some recaps before watching Lost online this morning, so I knew kid Ben got shot. It sucks to watch Sayid be so umm... dark and twisty? lol. Anyways, I thought the most profound comment I read was from TIME.com's James Poniewozik. He comments that what LOST did in the last two episodes is to make you feel genuine sympathy for the show's arch-villain. He says that Lost was more effective in those two hours then Star Wars was in three feature-films, attempting to make the audience sympathize with Anakin.
This show is amazing.
Anyways, I have a distinct feel that Sayid, the flaming bus, and the whole staging of events is about to be "The Incident".
The chick that put Sayid on the plane (who is also in one of my all-time favorite movies - The Namesake) must be working for Widmore, whether she realizes it or not.
This show actually didn't show us much except for the shooting of Ben - the rest of it was mostly drama, which ok with me. We've been on such a wild ride the last couple of weeks, I don't mind if we take it slow for a while.

American Idol
This was one of those weeks when someone gets kicked off that wasn't fantastic and should have been kicked off before too long, but sadly had to leave before some people that were definitely worse then him. Scot HAS TO GO. His vocals are way too limited for this stage of the game. Having said that, it was very cool to see him on stage with a blind singer that has definitely made it in the business. What an inspiration that must be for him.
In any case, how did Michael get voted off before Megan? That mystifies me. I loved that he went out with such a great attitude and such a big smile. He really is such a likable guy. On the other hand, Matt Giraud is an amazing singer (reminds me of Jazon Mraz), but when he unexpectedly was called to the bottom three he looked so crestfallen I wanted to hug him. When he continued to look crestfallen, sullen, and sort of like he wanted to punch someone.... then I thought, "Dude, you're trying to get people to LIKE you and sympathize with you, and your childish pouting is seriously not helping your case." Like Kris Allen - I don't think he's amazing, but watching him up there grinning and dancing was so charming I thought, "I really like that guy and I hope he lasts a while." See? Matt. Smile. Genuinely.

American Idol the top 11
Country music week is always interesting on Idol, because generally at least 2/3 of the singers have NO idea how to sing country. Madness ensues, with much griping from the judges and creative arrangements from the contestants trying to "make it my own".
This was my least favorite week so far, but there were a few stand-outs.
Michael Sarver: He's a solid contestant, though not the best singer. He's got the down-home reputation and the good looks to boost the votes. This week his rendition of "Ain't Goin' Down til the Sun Comes Up" was decent but not great.
Allison Iraheta sang “Blame it on Your Heart” by Patti Loveless and she did a good job as usual. I just cannot believe her voice is coming out of a 16 year old body. It's unbelievable. Considering that she's totally not a country kind of girl, she did just fine. I think she's going all the way to the end.
Kris Allen sang another crowd-pleasing but not very powerful song, “To Make You Feel My Love” written by Bob Dylan. Simon calls him a puppy and I agree. I like his style because I like easy-listening pop, but lets be honest, Kris isn't an unusually good singer, he's just a charming guy with a guitar and a decent voice.
Lil Rounds is a powerhouse singer, and she picked “Independence Day” by Martina McBride. for some reason Lil has never wowed me, I feel like she's lacking an emotional connection to the songs and the audience. In any case, she didn't do so well with country music, and I think she might be at risk this week.
Adam Lambert ..... oh my word. I think this was probably a good choice for him because he's going for the rocker bad-boy image, and he achieved that this week by totally turning his nose up at country music and completely changing "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash into a sitar-backed haunting middle-eastern rock song. It was.... SO WEIRD. The judges didn't know how to react and I bet most of America didn't know how to either. However, he gets points for gutsyness AND he hit some bone-chillingly high haunting notes that he hit DEAD ON. His freakish performance deserves a youtube preview...
Scott MacIntyre went with another Martina McBride song, “Wild Angels.” I think Scott does not have a good enough voice to make it through another week. There. I said it. Yes, he's inspiring as a blind piano player/singer, but he doesn't have enough control, people!!
Alexis Grace took on "Jolene", which is a great song by Dolly Parton, and ... it sucked. Didn't like it. Her voice cracked. Kick her off. Well... maybe not. She's still got a great voice and this was her worst week by far, so maybe she'll redeem herself.
Danny Gokey is one of my favs, and he took on “Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood, which is a song I have grudgingly given a second chance. It wasn't his best performance at all.... but I think he's normally fantastic and this time was just ok. He'll be fine. Everyone loves him.
Anoop Desai surprised me by lasting through last week, but he totally impressed everyone when he did a beautiful version of “You Were Always on my Mind” by Willie Nelson. It was a good choice for him to go with a soft ballad and hit it dead-on.... he connected emotionally. Now if he can just do a repeat performance next week, maybe I will have regained my faith in him.... hmm...
Megan Joy Corkery went with Patsy Cline's, “Walking After Midnight", and I think it was a good choice because it fits well with her raspy, unique voice. Unfortunately, her raspy voice was weakened by apparently being in the hospital with the flu. It was a weak performance, not as bad-ass as I think it would have been if she had been totally healthy. Oh, and Megan? Put some clothes on.
Matt Giraud is strange for me, because I can never remember him when I'm mentally going through the contestants. Every week he sings a decent song that the judges praise and I am ok with, but then I can barely remember it the next week. This time he sand “So Small” by Carrie Underwood, and yet again the judges loved it and Isaac (my husband) hated it, and I thought it was ok. Hmmm... do you guys like him?

American Idol 2009 Top 13
Isaac and I have been watching Idol for the last two years and I love it. For all the haters who say the contestants can't sing, there is now a pretty long list of successful artists that have come out of Idol.
In any case, I LOVE this group of finalists.
My favorite:
Danny Gokey
I think a lot of people like Danny, and Idol has certainly hyped up his back story. His wife died within the last year, and he auditioned soon afterwards. He's a worship leader for a ministry in Milwaukee, but what I like best about him is his voice and his personality. He has that easy-going sarcasm that reminds me of Chris Sligh, and he hasn't wavered on a song yet.
Michel Sarver is similar to Danny Gokey
Michael is also a worship leader and his back story as a hard-working Texas country boy from the oil fields has also been played up. He's got a great voice and I like him, but it bugs me that I feel like he's rolling through more on his looks at the moment then on his performances.
Then there's Alison Iraheta:
She blows me away. When she is being interviewed she's a giggly 16 year old who is trying to be cool but is mostly sort of geeky cute. When the music starts, though, she is more polished then almost all of the other contestants, she looks like she's 28, and she can ROCK. It's amazing.
I love love love Jorge Nunez, even though his performance this week wasn't the best.
Jorge is from Puerto Rico and last week when he rocked his performance and the judges praised him, I loved it when he dissolved into tears and couldn't find the English words to express his emotions. So cute. I just want to hug him. He reminds me of my friend Ana.
Megan Joy is an interesting one. I generally like the girls less and be biased towards anyone of non-Caucasian background (just bein' honest... and I'm Caucasian... ) because they seem more interesting.
Megan, though, has a really cool voice that I could see myself listening to on the radio. She didn't get rave reviews yesterday so I really hope she makes it through - I love her style.
Adam Lambert is a weird performer that is hard for me to like.
He lost the eye liner this week and I hope he stays away from it more often because it looks terrible on him and without it he's actually a good-lookin' guy. His look just kills me - he looks like the kids at my cousin's high school that are wealthy and spoiled but want to be rebels, so they wear the tight jeans and spike their hair and wear leather, but really are just kids from the burbs. Besides, Adam is like 27, so he should really get over it. His voice is awesome, though.
One of my favs that I don't think will make it past this week is Anoop Desai
Anoop is Indian-American and from UNC, and he cracks me up. I think he's in over his head right now, and has reached the limit of his talents. Time to go. Sorry Noop-dog.
There's a few others, but these are the ones I wanted to comment on in particular
So... we'll see. I say this week we lose Anoop and Scot MacIntyre, who is an amazing piano player (and is blind - incredible!), but I'm not sold on the quality of his voice.
In any case, I LOVE this group of finalists.
My favorite:
