Idol, 4/21

Two going home tonight. And it's Disco Night. Anoop's odds cannot be good.

PREDICTIONS: Anoop, Matt

Lil Rounds: "I'm Every Woman"... Oh my God, GET THE FUCK OUT. I hate her so so so much. There is no emotion at all in this performance. I need an Aleve. This is just overflowing with stupidity on all fronts. Overwrought and horrible. Randy: "I don't know." YES. SIT DOWN NOW. Kara: "I'm not sure it was worth the wait." Paula: "I applaud you." LOL. Simon: "I think this is gonna be the last week we're ever gonna see you." Hahahahahaha.

Kris: "She Works Hard For Money"... Meh to the max. Chorus is awful. Jesus, Kris. Not a good song to go acoustic-marimba on. This sounds like a muzak band covering a muzak song. That said, I guess he has no disco chops, so it's decent enough for him. Kara: "You took a real risk." Paula: "It showed your originality." Simon: "A complete polar opposite of the first performance." Randy: "You know who you are."

Danny: "September"... What the fuck. Awful. Wouldn't be surprised if he's still top in votes. Christianity for. The. Win. This is karaoke. Randy: "You turned this into something that really worked for you tonight." Kara: "You are an incredible vocalist." Paula: "You always take it up one step higher." Simon: "Can't fault the vocals."

Allison: "Hot Stuff"... LOL @ Allison being a sexually-appealing artist. Good arrangement, nice way to mix it up. And her vocals are solid. At least it's memorable. I think. In the end, she's just not very appealing, but that was a good performance. Randy: "Yo, hang on y'all... you one of the best singers in this competition!" Kara: "I have to agree with him." Paula: "The word 'compromise' does not even belong in your music vocabulary." Hmm. Simon: "That was a brilliant performance."

Adam: "If I Can't Have You"... At least it was emotional. Pretty weak for Lambert, but he obviously has a good voice. They are about to pimp the everloving shit out of this. Randy: "So dawg... you are ready right now!" Kara: "You're brilliant." Paula: "I never question my visceral response." Simon: "That's what so good about you."

Matt
: "Stayin' Alive"... God, I hate Matt. He has negative style. And this line-up of back-up singers is atrocious. The fedora is awful. Jesus. Awful final note. Randy: "You can really sing." Kara: "You brought disco back." Paula: "Matt, Matt, Matt." Simon: "I didn't like that performance."

Anoop: "Gonna Dance The Night Away"... Horrible. Randy: "Rough last note." Kara: "Great song choice." Paula: "Anoop -- the look tonight, the growth, I gotta tell you, you look fantastic." Simon: "That was mediocre at best."
