Once again Adam rocked it out on American Idol. He performed his unique version of “Born to be Wild.” For some reason they decided to have Quinten Tarrantino on critiquing the singers. He knows nothing about music and is simply a director. The guy is crazy anyway so it is entertaining to see him on this kind of program. The only problem is he really thinks he knows what he is talking about. The advice he gave Danny about stopping himself from moving his hands so much didn’t work and the telling Anoop to use emphasis on certain key melodies in his song didn’t work either. Both of them did as they wanted or felt more comfortable with.

Allison did a powerhouse rendition of Aerosmith’s song “I Don’t want to miss a thing.” She was praised for her work as was Adam, but everyone else lagged. Poor Lil Rounds seems to have faltered once again singing “The Rose” but she did try to turn it into something with a more r&b feel to it. She did sing it well, but for some reason she still can’t grab it as her own. Simon made a comment that he lost respect for her artistry and she spoke out how she felt claiming that she did her best with the song and added her flavor to it. And she did do that. I don’t think she should go home though. Matt Giraudi should go home this week based on his poor rendition of a Bryan Adams song. He has been up and down as much as Lil’ has if not more. So, he should go home before she does. Anoop is barely hanging in there and will probably go home within the next three weeks.

The bottom three should include Matt, Lil’ Rounds, and Anoop with Matt going home. Chris did an ok job this week but the girls will keep him in this week and Danny isn’t going anywhere. After Scott was sent home last week many felt that the judges should have used the save on him, however, Simon was right. He said that there were other singers that they were concerned about and would rather use the save on them in case something odd happens and they get voted off such as Allison or Adam. I don’t see them using it on anyone else and it is very likely that if the judges don’t use it by the time they come down to the final four that they will use to see what happens. Final four should be Chris, Allison, Adam, and Danny at this point.
