Allison Iraheta
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith
(from Armageddon)
I kinda wish she didn't pick this song since David Cook's version from last season is still pretty fresh in my mind. She did a pretty decent job though. Not her best performance. She seemed to be dragging behind the music a little during the verses and the way the bridge was edited sounded a really awkward to me. On the plus side, Simon finally gave her his praises saying she was the last hope for the girls and she is finally showing that she could actually make it to the end!
Anoop Desai
"(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams
(from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves)
I think this was a great song choice for Anoop. A nice, well known ballad that allows Anoop change the melody up a little while showing off his sweet vocals. However since there are only 7 contestants left, he might still be in trouble tomorrow.
Adam Lambert
"Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf
(from Easy Rider)
Adam takes on another upbeat rock song. Overall he delivered the song with lots of energy and created a very entertaining performance. At this point, Adam can wail out pretty much anything and still be guaranteed a spot in the finals (FYI: Adam hits an ultra high "G" at the end. WOW)
Matt Giraud
"Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" by Bryan Adams
(from Don Juan DeMarco)
Definitely not as good as last week. Matt really shouldn't have picked a pop/rock song this week, since he gets nailed pretty much every time he doesn't do R&B or soul. The bridge was pretty rough. He tried to do a little too much with the melody and ended up botching a few of those falsettos. Matt could be in some serious trouble tomorrow.
Danny Gokey
"Endless Love" by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross
(from Endless Love)
A very typical Danny performance: A powerful, emotional (cheese-fest) song. Simon states that he is disappointed that he didn't do anything special with the arrangement but then pretty much cancels out his negative critique by saying it was a good emotional performance.
Kris Allen
"Falling Slowly" Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
(from Once)
Great song choice by Kris. He was way better than last week and he seems to have gotten right back on track. Randy dropped his typical "pitchy" comment, but Kara says it was one of his best performances yet. Paula seemed to agree with Kara.
Lil Rounds
"The Rose" by Bette Midler
(from The Rose)
This week's performance was crucial for Lil. Although her performance was an improvement from last week, it most likely won't be enough to save her this week. It also doesn't help that Simon didn't care for it either.
