IDOL RECAP...Matt Giraud's Bad News

Well American Idol showed itself again last night, and because of my love for music, I have to give you my opinion on the show. This one today though is very tough for me because of the performance of the hometown guy, Matt Giraud.

I want to apologize first for not recapping last night's performances like I did last week (see last Wednesday's post, "AMERICAN IDOLizer...here's your recap"). Due to time constraints, I will only be giving you my top three and bottom three this week. I can thank tax season and a few other things for that, I apologize.

Anyway, I should mention that the Idol contestants were all required to perform a song that came from the cinema last night. With this, movie director Quenten Tarrantino guest starred and helped the contestants prepare for the show.

In preparation for the show, it looked like Kalamazoo native Matt Giraud would have a strong showing with his Bryan Adams tune, but in my opinion he fell short compared to the other contestants.

Out of the other contestants, the strongest was once again, LA's own Adam Lambert. This guy ROCKED a Bon Jovi song in his own unique way and still remains the #1 contestant. In a VERY close second with her performance last night was Allison Iraheta. For a 16 year old or any age, this girl is awesome and is going to make records!

In a distant third for LAST NIGHT'S performance, I have to go with Anoop Desai. Now I really haven't been big on this guy, but thought he did a great job last night.

I don't know that I'll be as lucky as last week calling all of the top three and the bottom three correctly, but my bottom three performers this week are Matt Giraud (I hate this!), 'Lil Rounds and Danny Gokey...yes Gokey!

Danny Gokey was good, but not good enough to be above my top three this week OR that Kris Allen guy who always seems to get the votes know matter how he does?? With only seven contestants left, it's getting much easier to be in the bottom three.

'Lil Rounds has huge problems picking songs and just didn't hit the notes last night. Although she has a great soulful voice, she is blowing this competition for herself and beginning to faulter under the pressure.

And Matt Giraud just didn't nail it last night. I believe the guy has alot of talent, but like I've said before, this is not a talent show, this is a singing competition. Sorry Matt, but unless America decides to slide 'Lil out before you (which could happen!), it's time to get ready for the top 13 tour. I think Gokey is safe, but in the bottom three with 'Lil and Matt.

I will address more tomorrow when I recap tonight's show. Maybe America will be thinking that everyone ELSE is voting for the show favorite Adam Lambert and he will get the least amount of votes tonight, but that would be wrong and the judges will save him. Ok people, that last line was a joke.

Until tomorrow, Roberts...out!
