I took leave today to watch the Result Show. But it was a disappointing result ever! Adam lost because he is gay and many people detest him? Quite a shame! We should judge him on his original talent and not his personality.

Anyway and anyhow, Americans had chosen their American Idol and the title belongs to Kris Allen [even Kris says, Adam deserves it more!]. We will see what happen to them next. Not today or tomorrow but one year after today!

Congrats to Kris Allen and best wishes to Adam Lambert. I'm Adam's fan since his audition and I would be as long as Adam in this industry.

Over 88 millions votes came in and only 1 million separate the top 2! That's was Ryan opening tonight. Then they showed us the top 3 Idols' homecoming. Out of the three, I like Adam's homecoming because he took some time to meet all the young children at Metropolitan Educational Theater. That was so sweet of Adam.

Jordin Sparks performed and I thought I heard her singing flat. Who agree with me? And what was that Katy Perry wearing? A wonder woman? Yikes! The only thing I like was her robe which written Adam Lambert's name at the back LoL.


Then Ryan get on with the result. The first person he sent to sing in the finals next week was Kris Allen. I became more nervous after that. As I said in my previous posting, Kris and Danny fans would do something crazy on their voting and that's what I scared of!

Danny and Adam were standing side by side and both were looking down the floor! [what were they thinking that moment??]. The second person who is accompanying Kris in the finals is Adam Lambert!!!! Now I feel relieve!

And to Danny - good luck to you. You have such a soulful voice. You proved it again tonight. It was flawless [I was nearly in tears coz while he was singing, I was thinking of his late wife. It was like a special dedication to his late wife]. Danny will shine out there just like Elliot Yamin!

I think it will be two hours-finale next week. And if they didn't change anything, both of them are gonna sing three songs [including their new singles]. Let's see what happen then. I might take leave that day coz I don't want to miss anything. [like what happened tonight - during the repeat at 8.00pm they had cut a few. Lucky for me, I watched it first at 6.00pm]

Keep rocking Adam and good luck! Stay tuned guys!

How I wish the American Idol season 8 is not going to end soon. I want more and more especially from Adam Lambert ;) He never failed. Not even one concert. He would always surprise us with his superb performances.

They went home last week. And during that, they received text messages from their judges on what song they had picked for them.

Danny
Dance Little Sister - picked by Paula
You Are So Beautiful - chosen by himself

I loved both performances especially his second song. His soulful vocals was just amazing.

Kris
Apologize - jointly picked by Randy and Kara
Heartless - chosen by Kris himself

I like his first song [maybe because I know this song]. And I just can't see why Kara criticized her own choice of song. Even Simon said "you can't choose a song and then blame him for not singing it right, you should work with him, like I did" Well a bit sarcastic from Simon but he is telling the truth. On the second song, he has shown us his brilliant vocals. How I just wish he chose a different song - to suit his flawless vocals. A song like Jason Mraz would do. But still, he did very good on both.

Adam
One - chosen by Simon [which he said, he got special permission from Bono of U2]
Crying - Adam's picked

Firstly, I got it right when Simon was to pick song for Adam. And it was a positive reaction from Adam when he found out his song. I like his attitude. He won't say he didn't know the song [like Gokey] or whatsoever. He just say "Simon, it's on!"

Back to his performance. His first song was superb. I just love it. No further comments :) But I like the way Simon giving out his critiques on Adam. Simon say "I know it was a bit bias from me, but it was the best song choice!" [of course Simon, you did pick the song brilliantly]. On his second song, it was a bit 'too much' for me but then, being Adam Lambert, whatever came out from him is still good! I just hope he will be in the finals.

Who will be in the finals?
I'm nervous like mad! When Ryan told the three of them that they won't have enough sleep tonight, I said to myself "me too Ryan, me too!". The feeling is so crazy.

My choice will be [definitely] Adam Lambert! But who is accompanying him? Kris and Danny did very well too [Adam said the same thing on both of them]. I would say it would be Danny but something made me change my mind tonight. It was the way Danny expressed himself. He said he didn't care all the opinions on him and never analyze what the judges said on his performance. Danny said he just did what he did. How could you say that when the judges were there to guide you?

Whereas Kris, being humble, he just smiled and didn't say anything. I believe when the judges criticized his first song, his fans gonna triple up their votes on Kris. And this is the one I scared of. Scared of Adam couldn't make it to the finals because Danny's and Kris' fans will do crazy [on voting].

But I'm still hoping for Adam [I am so nervous, that's why the repetition]. I would say Danny will be in the final but Kris could make an upset.

Oh dear! Let's just wait for the result. Stay tuned coz Katy Perry will be there!

It was more than 64 millions votes came in last night. It is another record! I don't know what's the rating of American Idol Season 8 at the moment but judging through the votes I'm sure it's at the top.

Oh and BTW, the top 4 sang a rock song brilliantly with Slash backing them up with his awesome guitar playing. AND, is Paula singing live or lip-sync[?]

Let's go to the elimination ~

Ryan called the top 4 at the centre of the stage and he said he will call whoever is safe randomly. Meaning there was no bottom three or bottom two. Kris was the first to be told that he will be in the top 3 - with a surprise gesture from Kris of course. I'm sure Kris thought that he was the one to leave tonight based on the judges [especially Cowell] harsh comments last night. But like I said in my previous posting, Kris' fans would do something 'crazy' to save him.

Next is Adam Lambert [definitely!]

When I saw Danny and Allison standing side by side, I was almost certain that I'm right again with my prediction - that Allison would be eliminated. True it is, Danny is safe and Allison was in tears. She was almost there but yet so far. That's how it goes. You are not safe until you are in top 2!

Now we have our top 3! All the three gentlemen will be visiting their hometown. Adam is going no where - well, he will be around at Los Angeles of course. Kris heading for Arkansas and Danny to Wisconsin. Let's see how is the reception of their homecoming.

And next week, they will perform two songs. One is pick by the judges [there are 4 judges so I don't know who and who is going to pick the song] and the other one is chosen by their own. I would say Paula and Kara would join force to pick a song for Danny. Randy to Kris and last but not least, Simon to Adam ;) Let's find out if I got it correct again!

What would Adam's choice of song? Actually I don't really care. I'm sure whatever he chooses he will perform it with a blast. Probably the 'Black or White' song[?]. We will have to wait til next week to find out.

This week is my most awaited theme because this is Adam Lambert's genre - You really rock Adam! I just can't figure it out why some people dislike Adam so much, is it because he is gay?! Well, Elton John is gay but I love his songs. George Michael is gay and I like his 'Careless Whisper'. So what?! As long as they can sing, that matter most!

Even Slash, their guest mentor tonight is agree with me [cewah!]. For the first time in American Idol history, Slash suggested that they would do a duet [sound fun to me!]

Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love
Whoaa...he really give me goosebumps! Never heard a rock song performed like he did tonight. And if performance like that would land him at bottom three or two [again!] then I don't know what else to say. I hope the America vote wisely!

Allison Iraheta - Cry Baby
It should be Allison week too coz she too is a rock singer potential. But listening to her after Adam means she was left far far behind. I think I'm gonna agree with Randy this time. Allison was heard 'munching' her words. And all I can hear is 'cry, baby!'

Kris Allen & Danny Gokey - Renegade
It was like a choir LoL. How could they paired up Kris and Danny. Both of them are not rockers. Kris should duet with Adam and Danny with Allison. But come to think of it, we won't know what disaster would they create *BIG LOL* Anyway, credits to both of them for trying.

Kris Allen - Come Together
Ok now. It's not good to let him sing soon after he made a duet with Gokey. Why did the production arranged their turn like that?? Anyway, whatever done is done. Back to Kris solo performance. I'm a fan of Beatles. I like all their songs and 'Come Together' is one of them. But Kris didn't give a good judgement on this song. It sounded like a mellow rock for me. There is nothing to comment on his performance. He was just okay. He just didn't do it right this time.

Danny Gokey - Dream On
Adam should sing this song!! It doesn't sound good with Danny especially the last note where he screamed endlessly LoL. Gosh! I really laugh listening to him. He murdered this song viciously. Of course Slash made a suggestion that he should scream the last note coz anybody picking up this song is doomed to do the screaming and it was usually the most awaited by audience. BUT if you can't do it then don't! You just make yourself look funny LoL. It was a disaster from Danny :(


Adam Lambert & Allison Iraheta - Slow Ride
What a classy closing performance! But towards the end of their song, Allison seemed to be 'choked' by Adam and was drowning deep. Whatever it is, I enjoyed their performance. Now we know why they did duet together - it was a blast! Something to remember by American Idols' fans like me ^.^

Now, who is going home? [Toughie!]. Based on their performances tonight I should say, Danny should leave. But I'm sure he has a very strong fan-base. But he could land into bottom 3 or 2. Simon did say, Adam might save Allison tonight but the way he criticized Allen, maybe Allen's fans will triple up their votes. Oh dear! it's a tough decision to make.

I think Allen might leave but I'm gonna stick to my earlier prediction and that is - Allison will bid us goodbye tomorrow night. Stay tuned for the results! Chris Daughtry will be there. No Doubt too and Paula Abdul[?]

The America voted more than 47millions and YET Adam Lambert landed in the bottom 3?? Crazy or what?? Or Adam's fans suffered from that swine flu?? But you know what I'm thinking? The production was creating drama to make this show more fun [what fun is that if the best contestant is in bottom 3?]

I don't believe Kris gets more votes than Adam, not in my wildest dream! Not even Allison Iraheta or Danny Gokey! There must be some technical glitch!! And if there is, the production should make it public. Make some correction!

Matt as I expected, sooner or later would leave. He is a loveable person and I wish him all the best in his career. Let's wait for his first single debut [sure there is bah kan?]

What happened actually?
Firstly, Ryan asked Matt to stand at the left of the stage and Danny to the right. Next was Allison and she was send to be with Danny. And Kris joined Matt. Adam was left standing alone at the centre of the stage. AND RYAN [knowing the result] so cruelly asked Adam to join one group which he thinks is safe! Adam said, "how could you do this to me?" Forced by Ryan, Adam then said, "based on last night, I think this group"- he meant Danny & Allison's group. Ryan asked Adam to join Danny and Allison then. But less than a minute, Ryan announced that Adam doesn't belong to that group coz he was in the bottom 3!! That was so atrocious! I'm so hating you already Ryan!!

I was not concentrating on the show already :( Who cares who is singing anyway! I wasn't enjoying it.

Matt, Kris and Adam were then called back to the stage. Kris was sent to safety!! [OMG! OMG! OMG! I hope it's not Adam being eliminated]. Ryan then said "Adam, you are safe!" phewwww. I already decided not following the show anymore if Adam is sent home!

What will happen next? Adam's fans probably will double their votes. They don't want this happen again next week, do we? BTW, the Top 4 will be doing a Rock & Roll. It shouldn't be a problem for Adam! We will see.

In the meantime, I mentioned in my previous posting, I predicted Allison would leave next ;) We will see that too if I'm right ^-^

I watched the show at 6.00pm and watched again at 8.00pm just for Adam Lambert! They did 'Blues' [well, kinda] tonight and Jamie Foxx acted as their mentor.

Kris Allen - The Way You Look Tonight
Kris sang first and you know what I was thinking at that moment? I was like, "OMG! how would Adam do that blues thing?" I just couldn't connect with Kris. He sounded boring to me.

Allison Iraheta - Someone to Watch Over Me
Not bad at all. The rocker Allison was doing a blues ballad! Did you hear what had Simon said? He said, he got the feeling that she would be in trouble tonight. I hope not.

Matt Giraud - My Funny Valentine
I'm gonna agree with Randy Jackson [sorry Simon!]. Matt sounded shaky. Pitchy here and there. I think Matt would be in trouble tonight.

Danny Gokey - Come Rain or Come Shine
He can sing. He sounded great. He looked fine.

[But I would like to quote what Randy said to Danny. He said "this is a singing competition and you can sing!" 100% agree with Randy! Then I remember, according to Akademi Fantasia 7 teachers, theirs is NOT a singing competition. In that case, AF7 is a VOTING COMPETITION!! ]

Adam Lambert - Feeling Good
Adam really know how to steal attention. When everybody was wearing a black suit, he chose white! When everybody was singing in blues ballad, he sang blues with rock in it! How do you compete that?! That is why, he is already in his own league. Even Jamie Foxx confessed that Adam is incredible. Simon also heard saying, he was singing to win! That's the kind of attitude we want in a contestant. Rock on Adam!

So, who is going home? There are five of them left. How would Ryan do this time? In previous seasons, Ryan will form two groups with two Idols in each group. And the remaining Idol will be announced safe and will be asked to join one group who he thought is the safe group. Last year, David Archuleta didn't move. He sat on the centre of the stage! If Ryan would do the same formation again this year, then my choice would be:

Group 1
Kris & Matt

Group 2
Allison & Danny

Adam will be announced safe first! And he will refuse to join either group :)

It's difficult for me to choose who is leaving tomorrow night. Kris was boring and Matt was shaky. I would say Kris BUT based on previous results, Matt was always in a bottom three. So, I choose Matt. Stay tuned for the result's night!

Over 45 millions votes! - American goes crazy!! I just wonder, out of the 45 millions, what actually the portion for Adam Lambert ;) Oh and yes - David Archuleta was there last night but the song [never heard it before-lah]. Anyway, he is still cute, still humble, still polite and still with his cutest smile :) A good advice from Archie too - that you don't have to win the competition to be successful. There are many opportunities outside especially when you are in America. Kalo di Malaysia - abislah! Kalo tidak jadi juara, tiada siapa yang akan pandang hehehe

I'm sure you all know who got kicked last night. If only they eliminate one person, Anoop could have stay at least one more week but of course it isn't possible as the producers have planned everything ahead especially when the final round is coming real soon.

Two down, five more to go. And I'm already making my guess who is leaving next and next after that. My guess are ~

Next week - Matt Giraud

Following week- Allison Iraheta

Next after - Kris Allen

It would be LAMBERT versus GORKEY in the finals! [who is with me?]

Anyway, my prediction might change after seeing their concerts. It all depends on how they perform and what the judges are going to say.

Last but not least PAULA ABDUL rocks!! And I especially like Adam Lambert's disco dancing LOL!!!

Lil Rounds - I'm Every Woman
She sounded 'sour'. She can leave anytime for all I care. Simon even said, it could be her last performance on Idol! That's the price you have to pay if you are being rude to the judges especially to the man who has so much influence.

Kris Allen - She Works Hard for the Money
He was the second best after Adam Lambert. He arranged Donna Summer's song to be a little bit like Jason Mraz [nice!]

Danny Gokey - September
Thank you Danny for giving tribute to me by singing 'September'. Oh yes! I was born in September! I just love his husky voice.

Allison Iraheta - Hot Stuff
She 'pushed' real hard as I can feel the 'pain' on her throat. It was like Bonnie Tyler trying Donna Summer's song LoL

Adam Lambert - If I Can't Have You
What else can I say? He's great, superb and awesome! I don't know what will happen if he fails to be in the finals! [I'm sure I'm gonna crazy hehehe]

Matt Giraud - Staying Alive
I've expected somebody will pick this song. And I really wanted it to be Adam Lambert. Anyway, Matt had tried to deliver this song as best as he could. It was good but not so great. Good luck Matt!

Anoop Desai - Dim all the Lights
Vocally he is good. But he doesn't have the aura to win this competition. Something is lacking I just don't know what. Maybe his appearance, his fashion or the thick eyebrows LOL!!

Two idols are leaving tonight! So, I don't know how Ryan gonna do it. Is it still a 'bottom three?'

I will choose a bottom four ~

Allison Iraheta
Matt Giraud
Lil Rounds
Anoop Desai

AND I guess Anoop and Lil' will say their goodbye tonight

BTW, did you notice Ryan became 'silent' last night? Instead of cutting off the commercial, they cut Ryan instead LOL. But most important thing is, they [Fox] let all the judges give comments on each Idol ;)

I wasn't surprise seeing Anoop in the bottom three. I know sooner or later he would leave. It's not because he can't sing but it seems that American doesn't like him, sigh! Matt and Lil were also in there.

When Ryan sent Anoop to the couch, I was like 'oh no! Matt you are really in trouble now!'. When asked by Ryan, Simon said they might use the vote save for one particular person and I'm sure he meant it for Matt. And it was really nightmare when Ryan announced Lil is safe. [I really want her to leave]. Matt was then asked to sing and this time minus the piano. I am certain the judges gonna save him eventhough he didn't do good, in fact worst compared to last Wedneseday. Maybe he was too nervous!! The crowds were already shouting "save! save! save!"

And they had! I just hope that Matt would be motivated to do better in the next round. By looking at the crowds tonight, I think they gonna save Matt for another one or two rounds :) BUT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND : TWO IDOLS WILL BE GOING HOME NEXT WEEK! There will be no more saving from the judges.

Simon then announced, the theme for next week is 'Disco'. And suddenly John Travolta pop-up in my head :) I only know one disco song and that is 'Staying Alive' by the Bee Gees [oh! bummer!!]. I hope Adam will pick that song [Adam, please?]. And who knows, one of the Bee Gees member could be their guest mentor or are they still around?

On Jennifer Hudson's performance, it was just nice. I'm not a fan since Idol 3 [beat me!]. And what is that Miley Cyrus wearing?? She looked old in that dress. And the hair? OMG! She should let it fall and loose.

Before I end up my posting, I must say this - I should say this in my previous posting but I just forgot :)

I realize that the American Idol's shows always run out of time. And I don't like it when the judges are in a rush to give comments. On Wednesday show, they tried to cut it off by asking two judges to give critiques each contestant alternately. But still! they were almost ran out of time.

In the beginning of this season, I had said four judges would only give problems that's why I questioned the additional judge. But now since it's already done, why don't the producer cut off the commercial breaks or tell Ryan to control the situation, that's his job anyway!

BTW, Zac Efron was there! '17 Again' is a must to watch. Macam best!

Top 7 Idols were singing songs from the movies. And Quentin Tarantino was the guest mentor. I'm not sure why most of the Idols chose a mellow song, except for Adam Lambert of course :) The rest did a 'slow' and 'safe' songs. We need some energetic and entertaining performance like Adam did!

Allison Iraheta - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
She was trying really hard! And it became a 'so-so' performance. Simon was trying his best to save this girl.

Anoop Desai - Everything I Do, I Do it For You
Nice. Good vocals control. Love his performance.

Adam Lambert - Born to be Wild
The best. Better than last week. I disagree to what Simon has said! Adam really steal the show by rocking the theater! A most memorable performance!!

Matt Giraud - Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman
Another Bryan Adams' song! I hated it! Matt, you will be in trouble!

Danny Gokey - Endless Love
No! no! no! I don't like Danny's version of this song. But I do love his husky voice ;)

Kris Allen - Falling Slowly
Now tell me the truth, do you remember his performance?

Lil Rounds - The Rose
I hated it when a contestant couldn't accept criticism. And when you replied back to the judges, it's unacceptable. Where is your manners? I hope Lil will watch her performance tonight through video. Then she should know how boring she was and pitchy here and there. She is struggling hard in fact she pushed real hard that she pushed the wrong button!

My bottom three would be [based on tonight's performance]

Matt Giraud
Danny Gokey
Lil Rounds

with Lil Rounds going home [please! let her leave]

BUT if it's based on votes, I think Anoop will leave. And if it's really him, I don't think the judges would save him. Poor Anoop!

I got it right again!

Scott was sent packing

no doubt he can sing but not as good as the rest

I was surprised to see Anoop at the bottom 3

He sang well last night but still, he was at the bottom

It means, his fan-base is not strong enough

It also mean - it doesn't matter how good he sings or perform

he would be the next going home!

How I'm glad to see Lil Rounds at the bottom 3

I'm not being cruel here

but I only want her to be warned

We seldom heard Paula Abdul condemned a contestant

but Paula said last night, she was tired of repeating the same advice to Lil'

and people listened to Paula

hence her bottom 3 position

As for myself

I am getting bored with Lil's performance

nothing to shout about!

5 more to go
before we have our final 2

Stay tuned!!

The top 8 Idols did songs from the year they were born



'Mad World'
from Adam Lambert!

Did Simon really gave him a standing ovation?
Yes he did
but I think, part of it because of they were running out of time ;)
and the other part is
Adam Lambert did really good! Awesome!

My bottom three for the night are

Kris Allen
Lil Rounds
Scott MacIntyre

with Scott going home

I'll be missing her

she is my choice besides Adam Lambert

She looked fine when Ryan announced she's leaving Idol

maybe because it's too stressful in there

she has nothing to lose coz she'll be touring during the Summer

Once again, the judges didn't use their 'Save Vote'

(Cowell sarcastically told Megan they don't bother to save her

in replying to Megan's quote "She doesn't care")

3 more to go

and the judges won't be able to use the 'Save Vote' anymore

earlier of this season, Ryan had announced that

when it comes to Top 5

no more 'Save Vote'

Two girls are left - Lil and Allison

like the OIAM3, they are in danger

especially Allison who had been in bottom 3 twice!

I'm hoping Adam Lambert will be in the finals

who is accompanying him, is yet to be known

It could be Danny or Matt ;)

Anoop Desai (Caught Up - Usher)

Whether it's because I never heard this song or maybe Anoop made this song so boring. Either one, he is in danger!

Megan Joy Corkrey (Turn the Lights Down Low - Bob Marley)

Singing 'Jolene' is not good enough from Alexis Grace
she was the latest Idol who have been eliminated from the competition
She is one of my bottom three
but I didn't expect her to leave (sigh)

The top 10 will do a motown next week
It will be on Thursday & Friday though (Malaysian Time)
as President Obama will give some speech (or something)
on Wednesday

by the way
It was good to see Carrie Underwood singing live for American Idol!
