American Idol Finals-Rat Pack Week

Simon was saying the opposite of everything I expected this week...and how cool would it have been (for ME) if Joey Mac could have mentored....but Jamie Foxx was frickin' awesome anyway.

Kris singing, "The Way You Look Tonight"- as soon as he started I felt a spontaneous EEK! rise from my gut. I had to stifle it, of course, because my significant other was iTouching right next to me. I love this song and Kris was yummy as always and I loved his take on it. I love Joey Mac's version so that's saying something. As for Simon's wet comment...well, I don't think Kris was but I'm sure he had fans that were. (no kids read this right?)

Allison singing, "Someone to Watch Over Me"- I thought she looked beautiful and that is was her best vocal yet. She was sincere and her voice was controlled. 16. Craziness. Simon is a freaking jerk for asking a 16 year old to say she thinks she should win over the hot 4 older guys she lives with (well, 3...Danny is ick to me). She said she thinks she has a chance to win...isn't that good enough? Just for that, I voted 10 times for her and none for anyone else.

Matt singing, "My Funny Valentine"-I don't know if Jamie's advice to change the key was a good thing, though I think his advice to just hold notes was good. Matt sounded strange in the beginning. I can't even really say what was wrong, it just was. I liked that he kept the vocal runs to a minimum and the ending was strong...still he could be in trouble.

Danny singing, "Come Rain or Come Shine"- OK, OK, I liked this performance. Even though we all know Danny should just NOT dance, he seemed really stiff behind the mic, like someone glued his feet to the stage. Once he blasted towards the front of the stage though, he actually didn't look like a big dork. His vocals were really good, OK?

Adam singing, "Feelin' Good"- can I just say I loved Adam's totally showboat catwalk strut down those stairs? Adam is loud and proud and a star. I was also digging that we had rocker Adam from the neck up and ballady suit wearing Adam for the rest of it. That long high note at the end....hello! I swear, I've never seen a guy sing this song but it worked for him.

The judges- I basically disagreed with Simon all night which was weird. Kara, Paula, AND Randy all made sense, which was also weird.

Songs I'm most likely to download- everyone but Matt. Sorry Matt.
