Top 5 Cover the Rat Pack

Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 7:53 pm Posted in American Idol

…which Matt G. thinks includes Rod Stewart, but that’s OK. It’s probably his last week anyway.

I’ve been remiss with my rundowns during an usually busy past couple of weeks, but here are some quick thoughts on last night’s performances.

1. Mentor Jamie Foxx mentions “throat Olympics,” which I didn’t know had anything to do with singing.

2. Kris the Kutey does an adequate job with “The Way You Look Tonight,” though his rendition makes it clear that he probably wouldn’t still be in the competition if not for the way he looks every night. His prettiness is much more compelling than his voice, and whenever he wasn’t making puppy eyes into the camera I found myself losing interest.

3. Allison sings “Someone to Watch Over Me” and is great as usual. Simon again brings up her lack of personality and confidence. He’s obviously lost his mind.

4. Further evidence of Simon’s madness: He thought Matt’s “My Funny Valentine” was the bee’s knees. Did he not hear the opening notes?

5. Danny and His Smugness sings “Come Rain or Come Shine,” one of my favorite songs. When he’s done, it’s no longer one of my favorite songs. Would love to see his reaction if he were booted tonight…

6. Adam again closes the show, this time belting out “Feelin’ Good.” He changes it up a little, which is usually a profoundly stupid thing to do with a classic (see: “Ring of Fire”) but this time it works — feels current, as the judges might say.

But instead they say the following: Kara yells that “my mouth drops open every time you perform!” Paula tells Adam that he makes her “feel better than good.”

Yikes! Maybe they should consider running the show after 10 p.m.
