Five idols left in the competition. It's time to raise the game. They have to give it their all if they want to get to the finale in three weeks. One bad song choice, one bad peformance, it's the end of the road. This week: Classic songs from the Great American Songbook. These songs have stood the test of time and they are still loved today. I like to these classic songs. The mentor is superstar actor/singer Jamie Foxx.
Kris Allen-"The Way You Look Tonight"
Best performance to date; Had a R&B flavor; set the technical standard at high; "Dark Horse" status; sophiscated; impeccable performance; Safe
Allison Iraheta-"Someone to Watch Over Me"
She celebrated her birthday this week; Ruff & gruff style; tender; Gut wrenching performance; alluring; tender; She should be in the finale; Simon thinks that she could be in trouble; SAFE!!
Matt Giraud-"My Funny Valentine"
Hard song to sing; Pitchy; 6 out of 10; Not emotionally connected; Simon loved it; Believable; Authentic; Nat King Cole-type phrasing; Sorry, Matt, the competition is getting too stiff for you--it's time to hit the road
Adam Lambert-"Feeling Good"
In the zone; too broadway; Best performance of the night; Come on, Adam--SAfe for another week unless America has put you in the Bottom 2 and send you home!!
Danny Gokey-"Come Rain or Come Shine"
Great trombone intro; Randy thinks that Danny could make an album of standards--I'd buy it; Kara loved his Rat Pack swagger; Stellar performance; Superb performance; Outstanding; Danny is step closer to the finish line
Bottom 2 Predictions: Adam Lambert & Matt Giraud
