Season 8 Finale

admin — Wed, 20 May 2009 20:47:56 +0000

Round 1:
Adam Lambert delivered a lethargic rendition of “Mad World”–so although one of the judges referred to it as “haunting”, it didn’t have the power of his first performance of it.
Kris Allen’s “Ain’t No Sunshine” was moving and effective. Round 1 goes to Kris.

Round 2:
Even though though the judges were blown away by Adam’s “Change…”, it rang of his past performances to me–lots of mewling like a cat. Kris delivered a less than exciting rendition of “What’s Going On?”–not nearly as good as last week’s “Heartless”, but how can you top Marvin Gaye? Round 2 was a toss-up

Round 3:
This song was less than stellar as performed by both contestants, but it certainly fit the voice of Adam better than it did Kris. Both Randy and Kara suggested the song was “too high” for Kris’s voice, and it did sound like he was straining. If I had to give the round to someone, it would go to Adam

Prediction: Adam Lambert takes the Season 8 crown–not that he’s my favorite, but he’s got the glam factor, and he looks like a Jonas brother (already a star), so who could argue?

Most Recent Eliminations - Season 8

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 20:08:27 +0000

It’s becoming clear that Idol viewers and the judges prefer the contestants who do original covers of songs. Adam Lambert’s recent remake of “If I Can’t Have You” and Kris Allen’s smooth Santana-like revision of “She Works Hard for the Money” were definite highlights of this week’s show. Were the eliminations signs that Idol viewers favor the non-ethnic variety? Allison Iraheta hung on this week, despite choosing one of the cheesiest of disco songs: “Hot Stuff”, by Donna Summer. Her rock style didn’t diminish the dated lyrics. Did Anoop’s last note influence the vote against him, or is he simply not American enough for American Idol? Did Matt deserve to be saved? Comment and weigh in on the changes to this year’s Idol–head-to-head battles in auditions, adding a thirteenth contestant, judges being able to save a contestant: what else might happen?

“Idol” Record Execs: We’re Into the Guys!

“Idol” Record Execs: We’re Into the Guys!

Posted Mar 6th 2008 12:58PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned the recording industry has no interest — at least for now — in the “American Idol” girls. Their focus is exclusively on two male contestants.

Well-connected record industry sources tell TMZ the major publishers (including Sony and Warner) have already set their sights on David Archuleta and David Hernandez. The record publishers have already told their songwriters to write songs specifically for David-squared, whether they win or not.

Sources say this is the earliest publishers have even committed to the contestants.

‘American Idol’ Producer OKs David Hernandez’s Stripper Past; Show

Keeps Mum On Danny Noriega Video

‘We’re never judgmental about what people do to earn a living,’ Ken Warwick says.

The good news for David Hernandez is that his spot on “American Idol” is not in jeopardy because of his now-highly publicized past as a nude male stripper. First, on Tuesday night, judge Simon Cowell said the 24-year-old Arizona singer was one of the best in the competition and that he’s a shoo-in for the top 12. Then, also on Tuesday, one of the show’s executive producers, Ken Warwick, spoke to TVGuide.com and said Hernandez can stay as long as viewers want him. Read more
