American Idol, Motown Week

Ok...I got a little bit of rest and I'm ready to give my thoughts and predictions! 

Matt-I've always liked, even from auditions. His perf was a good way to start the show and his best so far. 

Kris-I've always liked him, same as Matt, and he's from a town that's about 30 minutes away! His performances are all good, but they just seem to be lacking something. He seems like "the guy next door who plays guitar." (I have also said this about John Mayer, but he has so much passion in his work which sets them apart.) 

Scott-he did change it up. And he is an inspiration, just not an Idol. 

Megan-oh dear. There were a lot of words in that song and she hasn't abandoned that dance of hers. I really do love to listen to her sing, b/c her style is so different, I just don't like to watch her. 

Anoop-it was a nice song, but it was a bit boring. Did he slow it down? I like when he shows his personality on stage.

Michael-there's so much going on with him. He was sick and didn't get to go on the trip (or were the producers holding him back on purpose? ha!) He knew his song was going to be sub-par before even performing it, so why did he choose it? Mr. Smokey even criticized him. His attitude is awful and someone else (Alexis) needs to be standing where he is. 

Lil-oh Lil, where have you gone? I loved her appearance and just like with Megan, there were a lot of words in the song. It wasn't great. 

Danny-there were a couple empty "insert words here" spaces, but overall it was enjoyable. He brought energy to the stage. Competition wouldn't be the same without him. 

Allison-I thought this was a great week for her and an awesome way to end the show. I think her braces make it hard for me to understand her though, is that crazy? I would rank her #2 overall this week.

Adam-what can I say? He knows who he is and what he wants, where he wants to go, he's confident but still shocked when the judges give him rave reviews. This week Kara is saying it's about being artistic and being able to take a song and make it your own and well, he's a step ahead b.c that's what he did last week when she didn't like it. He's that guy who can think outside the box and he may be shocking, but in a nicely refreshing way.
