Disco Week!

It's Disco week in 17 minutes. Hopefully they rectify the mess that was last week but I am not holding my breath. See you then.

8:10. UGH. Who did i miss?

Anoop i have been told. What did he sing? UGH...first is not good unles she really was great. Was he great? (Wait i missed Lil i was told? What did i miss?)

It's Kris with the guitar. He is going to sing SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY. Hmm...Sorry this is not disco and it's not this fantastic reworked version nor is it even that well sung. It's just not that challenging an arrangement. The crowd likes it, Kara likes it. Simon liked it to. I'm sorry, that wasn't great. Lil (assuming she was first) must have sucked to a huge degree and they want her gone because the hyperbole here was too much.

Danny was ok with September. Better than Kris i thought. He actually tried to do disco, it had energy. The judges don't like it too much.

Alison sings Hot Stuff. She looks too old, her hair and makeup. I didn't really like it so much, i thought the slow arrangement of the song was terrible. The judges like it though.

Ok, so why are we having disco week? Clearly, doing a disco song as a disco song doesn't benefit the contestants because the two performances they liked took all the disco out of the song. Note: I don't mind the contestants switching things to their style, but the judges used to at least call people on it. Now, it's praised. if that is the case, forget themes and just do whatever they want every week.

Adam with IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU. It's done as a rock power ballad. It's really, really good. Not to pile on Kris but if you are going to put your own spin on it, put your spin on it. I REALLY want the ITUNES version of this. Crowd ready to pass out. Paula cried. She felt his pain. Simon is making this face. Simon loved it. Reminded me of a David Cook redo, where the song was redone totally to fit their own style but the melody was still there. Unlike David Cook he makes sure to sneak in the thanks for the arrangement before he gets cut off, so everyone doesn't have to be catty tomorrow.

Matt to sing STAYING ALIVE. Ahh, good going home song. He's channeling Justin Timberlake in his look. Like Danny, he is actually trying to do disco. The arrangement has a little too much backup singers but at least he added some bigger vocal parts. Not bad. If Anoop is bad or the fates are not kind to Kris it's possible he might get through another week. Randy giving him the "this performance sucked but your singing was good" that he's been saying the whole show.

Anoop to go. He sings DIM ALL THE LIGHTS. Ooh, even worse going home song. But the last person never goes home, right? Not bad. Strange arrangement. It felt at times like it was going at the wrong speed. Simon HATED it. Ooh...

My prediction - Kris, Lil and Anoop in the bottom 3 and Kris and Lil go home. Yes, no Matt. Ooh, they just showed Lil's clip. WOW that's bad.

Best of the night was Adam by far with Danny second IMO.
