A very quick AI report for this week after a one-week hiatus. Here is how I scored it at home:
1. Adam Lambert -- I could have done without the Lambster's
girly run to the front of the stage. It somehow cheapened his performance.
2. Kris Allen -- A heartfelt rendition of a tremendously tender song. As Quentin Tarantino said, "Kris was playing with the casino's money."
3. Anoop Desai -- Who is giving this guy wardrobe advice? A sleeveless blazer? Come on! It distracted me from an otherwise noteworthy performance.
4. Danny Gokey -- Danny sans glasses singing "Endless Love." I wanted him to bring out the Li-o-nel but he didn't. Solid but unspectacular.
5. Lil Rounds -- No soul in her interpretation of "The Rose." It was sort of robotic. It was good to see ol' Lil get sassy with Simon at the end of the show.
6. Matt Giraud -- He should look at his pocket watch more so he can wake up. His sleepy-eyed soul isn't cutting it for me.
7. Allison Iraheta -- A sloppy performance through and through. She is safe though as the judges trumpeted/promoted her dismal performance so they can get Lil off the show.
Should Go Home: Matt Giraud
Will Go Home: Lil Rounds
Going into the night: Vano 17, Carp 12.5
Results: Vano got the bottom 3 right: Anoop, Lil, and Matt, but was wrong about Matt being voted to leave = 3 points
Carp got two of the bottom 3: Matt and Lil = 2 points
New totals: Vano 20, Carp 14.5
