Bottom Of The Barrel

Idol, The Morning After The Rat Pack

Another week, another genre which I could really do without. The Rat Pack is generally considered to be Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, who appeared together on stage and in films in the early-1960s. Honestly, this should be Matt's week simply because of his singing/piano stylings. Hopefully someone will bring something new to this terribly old music.

Kris Allen - The Way You Look Tonight

Definitely nice vocals but not even close to his best performance to date. I agree that this shows how good his technical skills are however I would have liked to have heard a Kris-ized version. Maybe that is what "wet" means, not sure I always understand what Simon is getting at.

Allison Iraheta - Someone To Watch Over Me

I really liked how controlled her voice was on this song [and I didn't even mind the totally 60's arrangement]. It is refreshing to hear Allison bring something a little different than the smokey/rockish voice she has brought to the last few weeks. PS: The answer is YES, you can win [even if you can't].

Matt Giraud - My Funny Valentine

Not sure if I like this song choice, especially since it comes across so depressing. Maybe it was lowering of the key [or what ever] that made it come across this way. It have been technically solid but thus far my least favorite and I felt actually bored during his performance. Sorry Matt, your no Nat King Cole.

Danny Gokey - Come Rain Or Come Shine

Really liked the jazz feel and energy Danny put into this song. His voice has that something different [which I really like] and he is so consistent week in and week out. This performance is the kind of thing we have been missing from Danny for the past couple of weeks. Welcome back Danny.

Adam Lambert - Feeling Good

For some reason this performance felt too much like Broadway for our next American Idol. Ok that was some last note but [again] just not blown away by his vocals and still have a hard time figuring out what kind of album he would make. All that doesn't seem to matter, just listen to the crowd. Mooooooooooooooooo.

Least Favorite Theme: Rat Pack Week
Bound For The Finals: Danny and Adam
Should Go Home: Matt
Will Go Home: Matt

It will be an ironic twist for Matt to be eliminated on the week that should be he bread-and-butter week.
