So, Idol went groovy on us and did a 70s Disco Era theme this week.  Sadly, I barely heard any disco tonight. 

Ever since that beat boxing Blake Lewis hit the American Idol stage, the tables have turned on the contestants and now they have to bring it and by bring it I mean they have to turn water into wine.  Now, while I loved Kris’s version of She Works Hard For The Money, sometimes, I just want to hear a good sounding song.  Ugh.  When they go retro, I wanna hear retro.  Anyone else out there agree with me?  Or am I just in a mood tonight?

First of all, I have to say I was thinking this and wrote it down in my notes way before Randy said it- This season has way better singers than last year.  And, why couldn’t have Anoop sang something like How Deep Is Your Love?  He always, always makes the wrong song choice.  Always.

1. Lil Rounds aka Big Rounds (And I know that you know what I mean!) – I’m Every Woman by Chaka Kahn.  My girl said it best today … “She reminds me of that girl from Flint, Lakisha.”  She explained to me that Lakisha was great at first but eventually got kicked off because she kept giving bad performances.  That is so right on.  All I can say is that I liked her outfit because it showed off her assests well.  And I loved her mama with her hand up in the air.  Then mama was standing up, giving the hand.  Then I think daddy yelled “Karaoke don’t sound like that.”  I don’t care if someone sounds karaoke … but I wrote down “Not so much” next to her name.  It just wasn’t a great performance to me.  She’s going home 100%.

2. Kris Allen – She Works Hard For The Money by Donna Summer.  Wow that was good.  And so different, I was not expecting that performance at all.  Paula said it perfectly when she said it had that “Classy Santana Feel.”

3. Danny – September by Earth, Wind and Fire.  He is going to the final two unless Kris keeps surpassing him like he did tonight.  You guys know Danny is my favorite so I can’t diss him here.  But he can do better.   I loved seeing Paula dance to his performance like a loon as hubby said.  Hee hee, she is so fun on this show.  God Bless her.

4. Allison – Hot Stuff by Donna Summer.  I didn’t like her arrangement, but the girl is a great singer.  I think if she dyed that hair she’s go farther.  Its the pink hair curse on this show.  I just adore her, and feel she needs a record contract. 

5. Adam – If I Can’t Have You – Yvonne Elliman. First, a side note - The Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack is one of the holy trio of soundtracks for me, with the others being Grease and Urban Cowboy.  I’m always thrilled to hear any song performed from any of these soundtracks!  Back on track – Dear Lord, can this man sing.  I think Adam is going to win this, unless people get all hatey towards him for being, ahem, different.  I actually feel bad for him that he’s stuck on Idol because he is such a good performer that he needs to win his Tony on Broadway ASAP.  Its a shame he has to do the Idol tour.  Wow, can’t wait to see him on screen or on Broadway.    That being said, my gay told me to google Adam Lambert kissing boys.  So, for all of those who need to go ghetto, let me help you.  Please don’t take that as a ban, but I have a lot of people at work who don’t believe he is.   

6.  Matt – Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees.  I didn’t like it, and he can’t hold a note.  And on this song, he needed to.  I also noticed that the singers or Matt messed up, at one point there was a missed note on someones part.  I know this song like the back of my hand.  My older cousins and I listened to the album just about every weekend for a year.  We will be seeing Matt off in two weeks.

7.  Anoop (The Poop) – Dim All The Lights by I Don’t know but Who Cares?  Um, ok, I was already told Anoop the Poop isn’t very nice, but he makes such dumb song choices I can’t help myself.  Yikes.  He is so going home tomorrow.  However, I enjoy seeing how happy his sweet little parents look each week so I’m feeling sorry for them already.  I loved his dad doing the thumbs down to Simon while still smiling.  So cute!  Oh, yeah, before I foget, does he or doens’t he look like an Asian Ross from Friends?
