Scott MacIntyre was voted out in American Idol 8 Episode 28, and now we’re down to the top 7.
Tonight is movie night, and the contestants will be guided by Quentin Tarantino. What does he know about music?
Allison Iraheta
Song: I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith from Armageddon
Paula: Same special sauce as Adam Lambert. Authentic.
Simon: The girls’ only hope left in the competition.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-01
Anoop Desai
Song: Everything I Do I Do for You by Bryan Adams from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Randy: Found your zone. Rocking the house.
Kara: Found your place: pop songs with soul. Probably one of his best vocals.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-02
Due to the incompetent production last week, they’ve decided to reduce the judges’ comments to two per song. Surely they could have come up with a plan that detracted less from the show. You’d think they would want to let Simon speak more since they’re paying him $29 million a year. I’d rather see them just not have Quentin.
Adam Lambert
Song: Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf from Easy Rider
Paula: Dare to dance in the path of greatness. One of the bravest contestants ever.
Simon: Incredible vocally. A little like watching Rocky Horror in parts. Won’t be as popular as last week’s.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-03
Matt Giraud
Song: Have You Ever Loved a Woman by Bryan Adams from Don Juan DeMarco (playing piano)
Randy: Started out kinda cool but a little rough toward the middle. Tried to do too much. Fell down more places than you won.
Kara: Took away some of the core melodies that made the song so great.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-04
Danny Gokey
Song: Endless Love by Lionel Richie from Endless Love
Paula: Pulled together from midway to the end. Beautiful rendition.
Simon: Brilliant singer. But a disappointing traditional version.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-05
Kris Allen
Song: Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova from Once
Randy: Never quite caught on for me. Pitchy from note one.
Kara: Difficult to pick an obscure song like that, but one of your best moments ever.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-06
Lil Rounds
Song: The Rose by Bette Midler from The Rose
Paula: Blah blah blah.
Simon: Getting this completely wrong. Too soft for you. Too middle of the road. Some nice moments. No excuses any more. Not the artist we met at first.
