American Idol "Rat Pack" night song spoilers... if anyone cares to know. Serious, btw.

[Dammit Ann]

Kris Allen - “The Way You Look Tonight” - Jamie said “I want to make an album with you now”
Allison Iraheta - “Someone to Watch Over Me”
Matt Giraud - “My Funny Valentine” - Jamie suggested changes - Matt doesn’t play piano
Danny Gokey - “Come Rain Come Shine” - Jamie suggested changes
Adam Lambert - “Feeling Good” (the muse version) -Jamie liked Adam

The best: Kris, Allison and Adam

Adam should slay it tonight!

[ohheckyeah]

1. Jamie? n/t

[Dammit Ann]

2. Sorry, Jamie Foxx is the mentor this week.

[ohheckyeah]

4. Ok, thanks

I didn't know that.

I listened to that version of Feeling Good and I can definitely hear Adam singing it. I really don't like this kind of music so it's not my favorite week for AI.

[azmouse]

3. Finally a week with the music I enjoy listening to.

I really hope this is the last week for Matt.

Any of the other 4 is good enough to win but it sure looks like Adam is a shoe in.

5. I was disappointed

Not my type of music. Maybe next week Madonna songs will be the theme.

I have a bad feeling about Matt's performance. It seems like he's in the most danger of going home and I don't think he's good enough to pull off My Funny Valentine.

I know Jamie Fox is a singer but why is he the mentor for Rat Pack week? I guess it could be worse...they had Quentin Tarantino last week.

[ohheckyeah]

6. Matt needs to go in my opinion.

It's funny how when they do the recap of the night all the performances fall way short of great in comparison to Adam's.

[femmocrat]

7. I loved the songs, but they didn't exactly scream "Rat Pack" to me.

They were more like (what I call) "standards."

I liked all the performances, but thought Adam was over the top. Allison is really talented, IMO.

8. I liked Adam and Danny tonight

I have no doubt that Adam takes the whole thing, but I think that's been known since the auditions.

[grasswire]

9. Adam lost me tonight.

I thought his performance was garish and creepy. Up until tonight I thought he was the front runner.

OTOH, Danny was pure class. No tricks, just outstanding vocals and a sincere rendering of a very sexy song.

I hope Danny wins.

18. Agree 100%. Adam's songs are starting to sound

repetitive with the same predictable screams, etc... I can't picture myself paying money for an album to hear that over and over, but I would definitely buy a Gokey album. I LOVE his smoky vocals & he's more versatile. I think Adam's range is impressive & I liked him early on, but I think I'm tired of him, like a one-hit-wonder sound.

[grasswire]

19. that noise he makes between phrases is annoying

...when he's inhaling. I wonder if he was stunned to be in the bottom two tonight.

[tilsammans]

20. Agree re Danny!

He makes music I would buy. :applause:

Adam's screaming style is tiresome. Allison is my sentimental fave -- she's really got it together, for someone so young. And Kris? So darn cute!

[begin_within]

10. Actually I thought they all did pretty well...

...but each was basically their usual self:

Kris Allen, the "handsome crooner": Dean Martin
Matt Giraud, Mr. Bojangles: Sammy Davis, Jr.
Adam Lambert, the actor: Peter Lawford
Danny Gokey: Frank Sinatra
That leaves Alison Iraheta to be the "mascot of the Rat Pack" as Joey Bishop was called.

11. SPOILERS BELOW

No way do I think Adam was really in the bottom 3. Idol has to create some drama.

[ohheckyeah]

12. The creeps at

Vote for the Worst put out the call to vote for Matt. I don't know how many people they actually have voting so I don't know if it's a factor or not but Adam being in the bottom three is BS.

[mvd]

14. (REMEMBER, Sub-thread has SPOILERS)

See - Adam safe. I swear, this is the most contrived and manipulated season yet. :hi:

[ohheckyeah]

13. dupe because of computer glitch

[blue_onyx]

15. I agree

Adam is obviously the front runner so maybe the producers wanted to mix things up. I would've loved to see Danny in the "bottom 2" though.

[mvd]

16. Thanks what I think

At the very least, waiting until the end to announce Adam as safe was for drama.

Next week, I will vote multiple times for Adam and Allison, just in case. Maybe Danny's turn in the bottom two is next week.

[blue_onyx]

17. Next week

I plan to vote for Adam and Allison too. I'm actually more worried about Allison. She has been a strong performer almost every week but has been in the bottom 3 several times. I like her because I see her making music I would actually buy.

I like Kris too so I'm hoping Danny goes home, although I think it's unlikely he will be voted out next week.
