American Idol - Down to the Top 10

Well, obviously American Idol is not fixed as reported earlier by TV Guide. :)
I was a little surprised that Allison Iraheta was in the bottom three, but having Michael Sarver and Alexis Grace in the bottom 2 was not that surprising. And very telling that Randy actually called Alexis by the wrong name. That has been my problem with her as well - she's not as memorable as some of the others. Anyway, Alexis Grace was finally sent home and not saved by the judges.

I did love the duet by Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis. Man that girl can sing - she's just beautiful and extremely talented. I love to see how someone from a small farm town can end up on the path to share their talents with the world. Very cool.

American Idol Goes Country

I think some of the American Idol contestants will do very well singing country. I'm not sure how Adam Lambert will twist a country song to his style, but I feel sure he'll do it. Anyway, here are my reviews from tonight's American Idol show.

Michael Sarver: Garth Brooks "Ain't Goin' Down". I just don't think anyone can do a Garth Brooks song justice. There is only one Garth! It was kind of a mess for me although Michael looked like he was having fun.

Allison Iraheta: Patty Loveless "Blame it on Your Heart". Even though she is not my favorite, I think Allison did a very good job. I predict she'll be around for quite a while and although she won't win the competition, she will go on to have a great music career.

Kris Allen: Garth Brooks "To Make You Feel My Love". I actually really liked the way Kris performed the song (except for the last note). But again, no one can really compete with Garth. However, it was different enough that I thought it was good.

Lil Rounds: Martina McBride "Independence Day". So her performance was good, but it is fairly evident that some people just are not made to sing country music. I think if she had put her own R&B spin on the song, perhaps it would have been better - making it her own, rather than just singing it okay. (I did think it was funny that Simon couldn't get her name right and kept calling her "little".) LOL.

Adam Lambert: Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire" He just comes across as being cocky for me. I loved Randy Travis' reaction to Adam's nail polish and the version of the song. Oh my heck, what a strange version of the song. I wonder how Johnny Cash would respond to that! Obviously it was Adam's style. I did not like it AT ALL. But he will have a fan base. Simon's comments: "What the hell was that?" LOL. "Indulgent rubbish, and horrific." I actually was glad Simon was vocal about not liking it and his response was priceless.

Scott MacIntyre: Martina McBride "Wild Angels". He does a pretty good job and the song was okay. It just didn't seem to be something that was spectacular. He is likeable and his responses back to the judges was nicely done. I know people who love him, but he's not my favorite.

Alexis Grace: Dolly Parton "Jolene". She can sing well, but I thought the song was really boring and repetitive. I'm not sure if she'll be around for next week, and the audience reaction was polite.

Danny Gokey: Carrie Underwood "Jesus Take the Wheel". Brought tears to my eyes. He truly has a gift of expression in his music. I loved it!!!! Still my favorite! Can't wait until he has an album. And the audience reaction went on and on.

Anoop Desai: Willie Nelson "You're Always on My Mind". Anoop did a great job. It was much better than last week. His response to the positive feedback from the judges was a little over-confident and may hurt him.

Megan Joy: "I Go Walking After Midnight". She is so unique. I like her, but because she is so different I'm not sure she'll get enough of the main-stream voters. She is certainly talented and a cute girl. (Did she change her name this week? Last week she was going by Megan Joy Corkrey.) Even being sick, she did great.

Matt Giraud: Carrie Underwood "So Small". He sang very well. I like him. Not sure what else I can say about him.

My dream would be that Adam Lambert would be eliminated this week based on his performance. But obviously he won't go home. But I think those at risk are Michael Sarver and Lil Rounds, and perhaps Megan Joy or Anoop. It's hard to say at this point. It will be fun to see. Who do you think will be eliminated next?

American Idol - Fixed?

As reported by TV Guide:
Another week, another "scandalous" (and unsubstantiated) bit of American Idol buzz.

This time, the talk is that Season 8's final four have already been decided on by producers and judges, and that two of said "chosen ones" in fact have been ruled out as possible winners.

As whispered to the New York Daily News' Gatecrasher column, a female Idol staffer is going around claiming that "the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace." When asked if this was mere opinion or fact, the employee attested, "Those are the people" — suggesting that Idol execs are steering the results, and perhaps have done so in the past.

The series' supposed snitch also is alleging that Idol mucky-mucks have ruled out Adam and Lil as eventual winners because "they're too much like" past runners-up Chris Daughtry and Fantasia, respectively.

So, though Adam and Lil may be the better singers of the supposed final four, "The producers really want it to be Danny of Alexis," the loose-lipped show staffer is said to be avowing.

Fox reps have no comment on the alleged tinkering.

What's your take, Idol fans? Do you think the show would dare to attempt to manipulate the results? If so, do you think this has been going on all along, or perhaps was instituted after Ruben emerged as a clinker of an Idol?
