AI 7 recap

Once again I had to miss the actual show but was able to watch it on the AI site. of course i don't get the advantage of listening to the judges comments. maybe that's good, maybe not. But it is what it is.

Adam showed his sick self again. He's just in another league. I had thought maybe someone would be cutting into his lead but people seem to be faltering as he remains sharp. He gave a more memorable performance than the rest so I 'll put him in top spot this week. I was pretty disappointed with all the rest of the performances. They're trying so hard to be 'artistic' they're murdering the tunes. Lil rounds did well but was so yesterday in her styling it may as well have been karaoke. Allison likewise played way to safe. And Kris while singing one of the coolest songs of the season in 'falling slowly' proved that boring voices should not sing boring songs. I love the song, don't get me wrong but it's not the most dynamic song ever written, it really requires an interesting every man voice to pull it off, that's not Kris. Maybe Danny could have pulled that off. Anoop sang well but may as well change his name to A...sleep. so without further ado this weeks top seven in order from beast to least.

Adam. Over the top, but it's fine as he's just building his resume at this point. He won't need to slay and connect until finals. One or the other will do just fine for him at this point.

and all the rest

Danny. Not in love with this performance, just OK really, but sadly the best of the rest.

Kris. i very reluctantly put him here. He did well again, he does every week but he's just so damn boring.

And the least

Allison. Another karaoke version. this time very lame, she took every safe route offered in a song with a lot of opps to shine. she'll be OK because i think she's positioned well. but she better kill soon or people may make their minds up about her. and not to her favor.

Lil. she may be the one going home. she proves time and time again she just doesn't get it. I put her up here because I thought Matt was a mess and I think Anoop is the one to go home. But right now, when just two weeks ago I thought we'd have a strong finish, all three of these bottom dwellers look ready for the long bus ride.

Matt. What a mess of an arrangement. At least it was a little interesting which puts him ahead of mister Asnooze.

Anoop. I hope you pack well. Beautiful voice, but don't put the audience to sleep. who's going to call your number in if you just sang the nighty night lullaby to all your fans. So finally, my least favorite goes home, I hope. Although, contrary to what I thought the guy can actually sing, and very well. He may have a nice future, thinking about usable voices, his is very nice. Just like Kris really, but not as likable.
