IDOL

jake: WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!

ADAM. LAMBERT. These 6 words, if Kara counted for me, will make it to the finale of American Idol. Last week's mystified, Arabian-sounding "Ring Of Fire" during Country Week epitomised Simon's "different league" comment this week. For once, I really believed in him to be the one artiste ready to start recording an album. That performance was unlike any other Idol perofrmance: it is what you will hear on the radio today if you turn it on, something Muse, something MCR, something gothic, yet all-together very relevant. If you look back at the summarised clips at the end of the performance show, his performance stood out amongst the others.

The same can be said for tonight's "Tracks of my Tears". Now I love that song. You know how it is when someone sings one of your favourite songs: you don't really think they can match up to the original. But the smart downplay and restraint, the change in look in that smart suit, and those KILLER VOCALS. His falsetto has never been put to better use. Once again, if you look back at the clips, his was the one that really stood out. Total class act.

Motown Week wasnt such a great week after all. It left me wondering why so many of them were shouting. Lil practically had no variations in her tone, unlike K.Lo's version back in Season 2 or Hudson's in S3. Herswas a lacklustre version and it felt tiring listening to her belt throughout. The good thing was that her dress hid her big behind. oops. But very Tina Turner-ish.

Danny Gokey. ("but the "GO" in "Gokey"!!)No, that didnt eliminate him from the competition. Despite the fact that he didnt take Smokey's advice (which I thought he should towards the second part of the song), he was practically shouting throughout. Or rather, it sounded like it. And what was he doing going back and forth on stage?! Once he did that just to do a "rolling" action with the backup singers. WTH?!?!?! Yes, very clumsy. And he is somehow getting on my nerves la. Maybe he will look more earnest if he removes his glasses.

Anoop! his falsetto was very weak! Megan-what'sherlastname-Joy had a nice flowery dress, which really translates to BAD PERFORMANCE. Kris was pulling a desperate attempt at gaining credibility and edge by letting those facial hair grow above the lips. I wont even call it a moustache yet. Let's see how long that look will last. Allison was FANTASTIC. Kara was fine today. Paula was gimmicky with those colour books crayons and those whiskers drawn by Simon. Randy's jacket was fly.





ok.
So the only thing I look forward to everyday is the dawn of WED (this week Thurs) because it means that Idol is on, now while that may sound Loserish I just have to say that people have different outlets and this is mine because Idol makes me happy and if I am happy then many things will follow.

I LOVE AMERICAN IDOL LA. period.
