American Idol 2009 Top 9

Posted by: heath In: American Idol| Television

And then there were nine – because last week we lost Michael Sarver (finally).

Here’s the rundown.

  • Anoop – Caught Up – Fun vocal, light on the energy, not at all his style of song, judges didn’t like it at all
  • Megan Joy – Turn Your Lights Down Low – Boring, vocal tone makes it sound shaky all the time, I just don’t get her anymore.
  • Danny – What Hurts Most – Judges completely ate it up, how many pairs of glasses does he have, good vocals, final note was off key.
  • Allison – Don’t Speak – loved the outfit but the judges hated it, a few pitchy bits but otherwise she rocked it.
  • Scott – Just the Way You Are – what was with that hairstyle, a few shaky spots but nice vocal, sounds a bit like early George Michael.
  • Matt – You Found Me – nice rock edge afte ra rough start, good false, judges didn’t like it at all.
  • Lil Rounds – I Surrender – flat the whole way through, but the judges didn’t hear it apparently.
  • Adam – Play That Funky Music – loved everything about it, well, except his hair.
  • Kris – Ain’t No Sunshine – grooved on the keyboard, good vocals, nice blend of soft spots and rock spots.

OUT THIS WEEK: as I predicted…Megan Joy. Goodbye.

Haha! I thought Scott’s hair was horrible too. The judges said they liked his “new look”, psh. I thought Lil Rounds sounded horrible! I was really surprised though when the judges liked her performance, must sound different live. I knew you would like Allison’s outift ;) . I thought it was cute. Danny sounded good but I thought his performance was over indulgent, I am kind of over him. I would like to see Megan or Scott go tonight but I am nervous for Allison.

Yeah I’d like to give those makeup and hair artists a talking to. They messed up Scott and Adam’s hair royally. And poor Scott really has no idea what he looks like at that point, so they could do anything and tell him “oh it looks great!”

Danny – totally indulgent. I really don’t know what the judges see in him – he’s like the Chris Daughtery of this year…who I never liked on the show (but I have his album and it’s pretty good). Maybe he’ll get kicked off at number 4 and be totally shocked and go on to make some Christian album that everyone will buy.

Haha you may be right about Danny. We will have to see if your prediction comes true!
Did you know that apparently his Grandfather just died? I am surprised he didnt mention it!

There was a survey on Yahoo! asking you to vote for who you wanted to get kicked off tonight. I voted Megan and she had received 59% of the votes! Oddly enough, Scott wasnt even an option but Michael was. Haha Yahoo! needs to update their information!

Kris is awesome–to me he could be this year’s Idol without all the hype on Adam & Danny. Megan is definitely not a JOY at all. She has GOT to GO!!

I do really like Kris as well – and I agreed with the judges, behind the keyboard he really was able to jam and connect emotionally.
He just needs to build some stage presence and more confidence in taking feedback.
