I pretty much can appreciate anything when it sounds good! lol I used to hate country music, btw, but that was pretty much because I never listened to it!<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you that Carrie's voice is one in a million. There is no way Matt or Danny could fill those shoes. But that was just it...it surprised me how good they DID sound based on that. I do think Danny's verses left some to be desired though. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree on Adam. The difference for me with Cook and Adam changing up those tunes...was that Cook's sounded good!! I don't recall him really changing up the melody as much as the pace and style of the song. And he took a well known cover version of Billie Jean (by Chris Cornell) which helped matters. Adam went for the most obscure sounding cover he could find....and I'm CONVINCED he changed it up himself even further adding in those screecher notes! And totally changing the melody at times. I just cannot appreciate that! It was similar to what Lil did...she abandoned the melody by the end and just was going all "LIL ROUNDS" on the chorus..."let me sing some big notes for you all to hear and love me!!!" Yeah...Simon calling her LITTLE was hysterical lol I forgot to mention that. Also Kara telling someone they could sing the Alphabet...REALLY!!??? lolol I think she meant the phone book (which isn't much better!) 5 year olds can sing the alphabet! <BR/><BR/>Alexis...I think she has the potential to be good...but i just haven't quite seen it yet. Good call on Chloe though! (I love smallville...but man that show needs to end soon! lol)<BR/><BR/>It's definitely a strong top 11 though. It was really tough for me to figure out who was going home this week! <BR/><BR/>Should be interesting tonight!Mike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-62219065538818506472009-03-18T18:30:00.000-04:002009-03-18T18:30:00.000-04:00Nice blog again Mike. But apparently my musical ta...Nice blog again Mike. But apparently my musical tastes are far, far different than yours. <BR/><BR/>Didn't care that much for Country week at all. And I love country music. When I heard Danny and then Matt attempt to sing Carrie songs, it just reinforced to me how great Carrie's voice really is. Though I am fond of Danny--and believe he has an army load of fans---I am NOT a fan of Matt's at all. I wasn't impressed.<BR/><BR/>Megan, as you are probably aware, dropped her former married name of Corkery. So she just goes by Megan Joy now. But there wasn't much joy at all in her performance, was there? I know she's apparently been sick and all but ugh....<BR/><BR/>Loved, loved, loved Adam's performance. Yes, Mr. Cash probably DID turn over in his grave but Adam is a performer in the truest sense of the word and is the only one most likely to record a hit record/album right now. Last night's performance reminded me of last year when David Cook performed "Billy Jean". Really different. Really good.<BR/><BR/>Big Mama Lil....(did Simon actually call her Little??? LOL)was a trainwreck to watch last night. I'm with ya Mike on calling out this Tennessee woman NOT knowing country songs. Sheesh! But she'll stick around. This will be her low point of the year I think and certainly there are other Idols who need to go before her.<BR/><BR/>Alexis was okay with me. She always reminds me of Chloe from Smallville. I think they could pass as sisters. She's on solid ground, I think----dirty or not.<BR/><BR/>Anoop----Out of all the people that were in trouble, he helped his cause the most. He won't win Idol but at least he reminded us why's he there. <BR/><BR/>Scott---Not sure what to think about him anymore. I thought he'd be better than he is but I don't think you can take him away from the piano. He's so good at that and besides, isn't America intrigued by his story? I suspect he'll be around for quite a while.<BR/><BR/>Overall, there's really no unbearable people left. I think this is a solid as final 11 that I've ever seen. But since somebody has to go, for me, it's time for Mr. Sarver to go home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-36878152699745420642009-03-18T07:45:00.000-04:002009-03-18T07:45:00.000-04:00I agree with your Alexis comment Ian. Worked for ...I agree with your Alexis comment Ian. Worked for Megan last week. And judging by dialidol this week, she (Alexis) may do more than be in the bottom 3! I kinda thought Sarver and Scott's performances were just as forgettable though and I gave Alexis a pass for supposedly being one of the "coveted 4!" lol But it may have been a bad move! <BR/><BR/>It was a crazy song choice for Danny but I am really thinking that Carrie Underwood songs HAD to be featured this week considering 2 guys ended up picking them. Scott's "picking out of a hat" comment made me kinda skeptical! Then again, the picking out of the hat could have been for people that wanted to sing the same song out of the "200 or so" provided lol But I'm guessing 20-30 songs being available is more realistic. <BR/><BR/>I'll give you "LEFT FIELD" on Adam, but I cannot agree that it was good! lol He is one weird dude, but I see no danger in him leaving tonight!Mike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-38247364498372066252009-03-18T01:41:00.000-04:002009-03-18T01:41:00.000-04:00I'd love to see super-annoying Megan go home too. ...I'd love to see super-annoying Megan go home too. For all the hype the judges give her it doesn't seem like anybody really likes her except Vote For the Worst.<BR/><BR/>I didn't like Danny. I thought it was a bad song choice and he just didn't sound good on it. Surprisingly, I kind of liked Adam's performance just for the sheer left-field nature of it.<BR/><BR/>I think Alexis hits the Bottom 3 this week. Her performance wasn't terrible, but it was very forgettable. Sometimes it's better to be memorably bad than forgettably OK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
