Hey guys! So I actually got a writing gig which is why I’ve been so busy. I’ve decided to share with you my review of Idol last night. Yes, this would be the CLASSY side of Blondiee. Stay spoiled!

By now American Idol has become the boys competition proving even more last night that both Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are in it to win it. With the two most original contestants on the show performing near perfect renditions of their song choices the past few weeks, it’s safe to say that although Adam has a bit of an edge, Kris is right under his nose giving him a run for the Idol title.

However, according to host Ryan Seacrest, he claims Adam made Paula “melt into a pool of Abdul.” So it seems Kris better step it up and possibly go for the gold next week—hopefully melting the other female judge like the Wicked Witch of the West.

But even for a night of disco, many declined to take part in the uppity songs or cliché dance moves of the 70s. The night may as well have been renamed to “An Idol Night with Donna Summer” since half of the contestants decided to tackle the disco diva’s songs. Adam performed “If I Can’t Have You” from Saturday Night Fever with his own slow and powerful rendition as Allison Iraheta took on an odd, eerie arrangement of Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff.” Anoop Desai attempted and failed miserably with (you guessed it!) Donna Summer’s “Dim All the Nights” with Simon deeming it his worst performance yet “by a mile.”

Onwards with disco night, Kris Allen’s take on Summer’s hit “She Works Hard for the Money” sounded nowhere like the original and could be a hit for the ever improving guitarist. Kara claimed the song could even be on his album right now saying, “You took a real risk and it paid off big time.” Falling short of getting the crowd and show going, Lil Rounds belted out Chaka Kahn’s “I’m Every Woman,” proving the judges correct that she in fact is every woman, but herself. Simon predicted it will be “the last shot” for the girl whose hair seems to get longer and longer each episode. How DO they do it?

Simon, however, didn’t just tear Lil to shreds as he claimed Danny Gokey had “no star power” after his decent performance of Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “September.” Although Robert Downey Jr.’s twin is more than likely safe tonight, the competition is getting down to the wire and Gokey needs to up his swagger if he wants to stay. Matt Giraud looked a little desperate when he performed “Stayin’ Alive” from Saturday Night Fever basically stating that he’s praying to stay alive in this competition after almost being eliminated last week until the judge’s saved him. His vocals were on target with Randy proclaiming “You can really sing, dude!,” but the Justin Timberlake fedora hat and similar dance moves have got to go if this guy wants to be his own artist.

But even without mentors or those over-the-top clip reels for each contest, American Idol still almost ran over time last night. And it seems as though Idol may see the same Wednesday elimination night tonight as it did last week with Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai, and Matt Giraud hitting the bottom three. Question is—is Matt going to be “Stayin’ Alive” this time?
