Glad you got the reference Jerry. I watched Volare on Youtube again today. I think my assessment was spot on! Monica Posted April 21, 2009 at 11:04 pm | Permalink Glad to see that you agree with me that Lil can do no right as far as the judges were concerned. I’m not rooting for her to win but after she sang I put my fist up in the air and said *All Right!* and then listened to Randy and the rest of the judges read off their notes about how bad she is without ever pointing to any specific problem with her performance as if the producers had written their criticisms. She is the VFTW favorite for 2 weeks in a row and that has sealed her fate in terms of honest judgments. I never understood how Kris got into the top 13 but after tonight I guess America knew better than me. I never thought an acoustic guitar and disco could work but it did. Adam is genius. Allison disappointing again. She seems to have lost her spark. Maybe the stress is getting to her. Still not the worst. Although I think the judges may be wishing they hadn’t wasted their save on Matt tomorrow. Throw Matt back. Cheesy song. Completely frantic. He cannot take the pressure. Anoop did well but he has no charisma despite his new facial hair. Ironically…he is just to *white bread* for people to see him as a star. Danny gave a brilliant performance reminiscent of Robert Wuhl’s classic performance of *Volare* in the movie Hollywood Knights. At times I could almost sing along with Danny. I’m sure Robert will be proud at this homage to his genius. Life is Good Posted April 21, 2009 at 11:22 pm | Permalink Bottom: Lil, enough already. Bless her heart, she just can’t seem to get it right. Anoop, he has a decent voice, but I just don’t think he can go on much longer. Matt, I’m glad they saved him last week. I don’t think he will win, but I think he deserves to stay longer than Lil and Anoop. Danny, well, he’s Danny. He has a very good voice, but IMO he just isn’t really all that entertaining. My top 3 are Allison, Kris, and Adam. Allison and Kris, because they both have the voice and originality to go far. Adam because, well because he’s Adam and he’s freaking awesome. OK..reposted here.

The judges have been on Lil's tail for 4 weeks and the new girl is happy because it takes the heat off of her inability to see talent. Paula always looks so stoned , wonder how she even knows what is being sang. I really like Simon because at least he is real... all of his comments are not fair but what is. Randy is just a actor that's all.Adam , how in the world can anyone say what he does is singing... more like hollaring to me. He should have been axed a long time ago.

He totally RUINED that song last night. That shows the difference in Adam and Kris for me. Kris took a song, remade it, and made it work. Adam did not. I'm still a Danny fan, and thought last night he was better than the last couple of weeks. And I'm also still a big Matt fan. He may not win Idol...but he will do very well and go very far (ala Chris Daughtry). Bye Bye to Lil and Anoop.....see ya in the funny pages.

Brilliant. The Gokey "Volare" reference is absolutely priceless, I busted a gut on that. Phil, kudos to you. This blog has really became informative and insightful. The picture still desperately needs to go but thank you regardless.:) I thought Lil did a very nice job last night. Don't think it will save her, but I enjoyed it none-the-less. Much of the song choice/genre criticism needs to be focused Gokey's way. Nipplehead Matt was awful. Ditto to Anoop, Gokey and especially Allison. Her's was repulsive on a couple of different levels. Adam and Kris shined against their competition. In closing, Paula Abdul is in need of some serious help. Everytime she opens her mouth it sounds like she's confused 3 Hallmark cards and it has really crossed the line from "that's Paula!" to "Who is she, why is she here and why won't she shut up?" She's really a huge drag on the entire episode. Monica, you need to re-post that entry over here! Brilliant. The Gokey “Volare” reference is absolutely priceless, I busted a gut on that.
