American Idol Week 4

Lil Rounds (The Way You Make Me Feel) - I wouldn't have chosen this song for her but she did a real good job with it and made it her own. I don't really like the outfit but she did a good job working the stage.

Scott MacIntyre (Keep the Faith) - You can tell he's most comfortable in front of the piano. He really showed that here and did a really good job. He also proved he's got a real good range.

Danny Gokey (P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)) - I think the beginning of the song wasn't that good. But when he picked up the pace it got a lot better. His voice reminds me a bit of Taylor Hicks.

Michael Sarver (You Are Not Alone) - I thought he did a good and his enthusiasm really came through on his performance.

Jasmine Murray (I'll Be There) - It seems like every season somebody sings this song. But she did a good job with it. She didn't change it up that much but it really worked.

Kris Allen (Remember the Time) - The vocals were good but I wasn't that crazy about the arrangement. I think it would have been better without the guitar.

Allison Iraheta (Give In To Me) - I don't think this was the best song choice for her. It was good to see her go a bit more of a rock route but it wasn't her best.

Anoop Desai (Beat It) - He's got a good voice but this was a bad song choice. I think he went for a fun song but it did nothing for his voice. And it was just bad overall.

Jorge Nunez (Never Can Say Goodbye) - It was a good vocal but there was nothing exciting about the performance. It was a bit forgetable. And it was a bit detached.

Megan Joy Corkrey (Rockin' Robin) - Bad song choice. Another person who went for a fun that doesn't show off their voice. She should have not have chosen this song.

Adam Lambert (Black or White) - Another weird song choice. And the vocals were verging on painful. If you are going to sing up your upper register you gotta make it work but this did not.

Matt Giraud (Human Nature) - I like that he was at the piano. He did a pretty good job with it. And he didn't overdo the upper register stuff like Adam.

Alexis Grace (Dirty Diana) - I thought this was an interesting song choice. But she did a godo job with it. The rock feel of the song fits who she is as an artist. The slow parts were a little better than the faster parts. And it kind of fell apart at the end.
