American Idol - Top 7

Music From The Movies

Allison - "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"
Probably my favorite "movie song" of all time!  Allison totally made the song her own and I enjoyed the arrangement for the most part.  It wasn't my favorite performance of hers but I think she did quite well.

Anoop - "Everything I Do, I Do For You"
Oh Mariko, did you feel like Anoop was singing just for you???   I think this was an awesome song choice for Anoop.  The arrangement wasn't much different from the original but I really enjoyed it.  He actually did great 2 weeks in a row!  WHAT WHAT, ANOOP!  

Adam - "Born To Be Wild"
As creepy as Adam can be sometimes, the boy is crazy talented.  It's complete entertainment when he comes on the stage.  He is definitely a rock star!  The last note was insane too...WOW! 

Matt - "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman"
I love when Matt plays the piano!   The song was a little shaky at parts.  Matt has slowly moved up into my favs but tonight wasn't his night.  I agreed with Randy that he tried to go over the top with the lyrics and his range.  I hope he gets another chance next week.

Danny - "Endless Love"
I think I officially fell in love with Danny tonight.  I know I've been talking about how much I like him but tonight he just swept me off my feet! :)  It wasn't his best song tonight but I think he pulled it off by the end.  He looked so strange without his glasses tonight!

Kris - "Falling Slowly"
I was really impressed with Kris tonight!  I'm glad he decided to sing without the guitar, I think it would have taken away from the emotions coming through the song.  He did a great job tonight, definitely my favorite song of his by far.  

Lil - "The Rose"
Once again, Lil did alright but didn't impress me.  I have had high expectations for her from the beginning and I'm not sure why.  Lil is talented but I doubt she'll survive much long on AI.  She just stood in the same spot and sang.  I didn't get much emotion out of her either.

This was a really hard week to rank the contestants.  It's getting a lot tighter and there are a lot of people I think should stay around.  I do hope Lil goes home tomorrow night.  My guess is that if it's someone besides Lil, the judges will use the save tomorrow night!

I agree with you about Lil...she has trouble with pitch and with establishing an image for herself.

I agree that many were strong tonight. I feel like Anoop isn't as good as most of the others, but I have to admire his determination to fight...he seems to be best doing cheesy ballads and I'm glad he had a good week, but I think he should go after Lil.

I really like Kris, Matt & Allison in their own way, but I think Danny and Adam are in a different league. I think Danny is probably the best vocalist, but Adam is the best performer.

However, lately, I've felt like Adam has taken risks, while Danny has been picking safe songs and I really would love to see Danny take more risks and stay competitive...I'm sure he could absolutely amaze us!

We might have to have a fight - I have my famous crush on Danny :)

Dude, Adam is a screamer. And the lights kind of made me feel like I was in a world of narcotics. just sayin.... :)
