I do love me some Motown!  I'm hoping for a good show tonight.  Shall we see how it panned out?
Matt Giraud - Let's Get It On - His falsetto was fabulous tonight.  Still keeping the vibrato to a minimum (yay!).  That was very well done and kinda sexy too.
Kris Allen - How Sweet It Is - He is indeed nice to look at and his voice is very pleasant however I don't feel any kind of a spark.  I will admit he's better with the guitar.  It was good but not fabulous.  I keep wanting to like him more than I do.
Scott MacIntyre - You Can't Hurry Love - Interesting song choice.  I was glad to see him pick up the pace but I'm not sure this was the right way for him to do it.  He had some seriously off notes while he sang.  It wasn't as horrid as Simon said but it wasn't really all that good either.
Megan Joy - For Once In My Life - There were more off notes than not in that performance.  It was really, really bad.  I liked her a lot last week but this week I couldn't stand her.
Anoop Desai - Oooo Baby Baby - I love this song and I adore Anoop.  I don't like them so much together.  He was off quite a bit when he sang in falsetto and it was rather boring. 
Michael Sarver - Ain't To Proud To Beg - Which may be what he'll have to do after that hot mess he left on stage.  He should never sing with falsetto again.  Throwing some growl into the song is not going to make that any better.  Really, really off notes at the end.
Lil Rounds - Heat Wave - Is this song ever good when song on American Idol?  I admit to being quite disappointed in Lil this week.  That wasn't near as great as I know she can be.  This should have been her week and instead she was just meh.
Adam Lambert - Tracks Of My Tears - Is it just me or did he look quite a bit like Elvis tonight?  I mean young, handsome Elvis.  The suit and the hair?  Yeah I don't think it's just me.  Having said all that, the only other thing I can say is WOW.  Oh and fabulous, incredible, brilliant, awesome, and beautiful.  It was pure, simple and lovely.  He showed a tender side and it worked.
Danny Gokey - Get Ready - No Tori I'm not going to set you on fire. :D  I have to say that when he was talking with Smokey and said that he liked what Smokey had to say and then he came out on stage and blew it off completely?  Makes my hackles rise.  Just saying.  Other than that I think it was very good vocally and he looked like he had some fun with it.  Not his best but it was good.
Allison Iraheta - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Girl can SANG!  It was great from beginning to end.  She nailed it.  Fabulous performance!
Bottom three:
Michael Sarver
Scott MacIntyre
Megan Joy
Going home: Megan Joy, not because I necessarily think she should be gone before Michael Sarver, I just think that's how it's going to go down.

Well it's that time of year again, time for me to bore you with my idol reviews. 
They are doing the themes again in the semi-finals.  Tuesday's theme was Billboard Hot 100, from the time that Billboard started.  That left the field wide open for song choices.
Here we go...
Jackie Tohn - Little Less Conversation - She's got a kind of Joplin quality to her voice, though not as pleasant sounding.  It wasn't a bad performance.  She was a bit all over the place with her dancing and that outfit...*gag*.  It wasn't really all that exciting.  It was just okay.
Ricky Braddy - A Song For You - Wow, he has a lovely voice doesn't he?  It was a pleasing to the ear performance but booooring.  Simon is probably right, he doesn't have that star quality, which is too bad because he's nice to listen to.
Alexis Grace - Never Loved a Man - Well now, that was pretty damn good.  Best I heard at that point (which isn't necessarily saying much since she went 3rd...).  Who knew she had that voice in there?  I wasn't a fan of the outfit, not that she didn't have the body for it, I just thought it was a bit much.  When the judges asked her to dirty it up a bit I'm not sure that was quite what they had in mind.  Then again, who knows. 
Brent Keith - Hicktown - Okay so my my cousin in law's favorite teacher was his first grade teacher.  This man is that teacher's husband.  He's pleasant but not exciting, which makes me sad because I know my cousin in law (and family) are going to be voting their fingers off for him and I can't join in that.  He does fine with country music but he's just not that exciting. 
Stevie Wright - You Belong With Me - The hell?  That was one hot mess.  I don't think she hit a single note right.  Not once (that I heard) was she on pitch.  That was the first, truly awful performance of the night.  Yikes!
Anoop Desai - Angel Of Mine - Am I one of few people who actually know this song?  He does the song justice, but I wanted more from him.  He has a lovely voice, but this was just not exciting. 
- Note - I'm finding myself rather bored tonight.  That's a bummer!
Casey Carlson - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic - She's pretty isn't she?  That dress was god awful though.  The singing wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.  I didn't like the arrangement much and god her winking and facial expressions were downright annoying!  Yeah I didn't like this much at all.
Michael Sarver - I Don't Wanna Be - I'm so disappointed.  This song needs some power behind it and he didn't give it any.  Where is the power in his voice that I've heard him sing with before?  He could've given this song much more life than he did.  Darn, I like Michael.
Ann Marie Boskovich - Natural Woman - Why does she look so much older than she is?  I swear all of a sudden she looked like she was in her mid forties while she was singing!  Oh and she looks kinda pissed too.  Um, that was not so good. 
Stephen Fowler - Rock With You - I still think Jamar should have been put in the Top 36 over this guy.  At least he remembered the words.  He sounded better on the chorus than he did at any other time.  Ooo his voice gave out for just a sec on that glory note.  That was another not exciting performance.
Tatiana Del Toro - Saving All My Love For You - I think this is the best I've ever heard her sing.  That's not saying too much.  She hit a couple of glory notes, but overall it wasn't fantastic.  I'm actually glad it wasn't, because in all honesty?  I can't stand that girl.  She did tone it down tonight, until we got to the interview with Ryan.  Then it was all "Me me me me mememememmemme".   She can go home now.
Danny Gokey - Hero - Now see, that's almost what I'm talking about.  He wasn't fabulous (no one tonight was) but he was, for me, the best of the night.  I was hoping for a bit more into the fabulous territory from him, but I'll take this and be content for now.  The arrangement was a bit heavy handed for the song.  I do like the "growl" in his voice. 
Okay so overall the night was pretty blah.  No one impressed me so much that I felt the need to vote for them.  My picks are as follows.
Top Guy: Danny Gokey
Top Girl: Alexis Grace
Next top Vote getter: Ricky Braddy.
 
As we now know, I got 2 out of 3.  It seems that Michael Sarver got the Next top vote getter spot.  Maybe we'll see Ricky and Anoop in the Wildcard round?  At least Tatiana was sent packing (yay!).
