Home stretch of American Idol

Amercian Idol Rock and Roll Week Summary of Tuesday Night Performances and Wednesday Night Result Show

Tuesday Night Performaces Ratings and Commentary

It's so hard to beleive that we're already in the homestretch of American Idol and down to the final four contestants. This week they did something interesting and paired Kris and Danny and Adam and Allison up for duets. Here are my standings for Rock and Roll Week. And since we're getting into the final weeks of AI I will review my favorite performances of the season
.Adam
Song: A Whole Lot of Love by Led Zepplin
Rating 9Comments: This was my favorite performance of his other than Tracks of My Tears in Motown Week. He was truly in his element this week and bounced back after being in the bottom three last week.
AllisonSong: Crybaby by Janis Joplin
Rating 8
Comment: Like Adam she was truly in her element this week. She always adds her own flair to whatever song she does.. she is pretty amazing for 17 years old. This was my favorite performace of hers besides Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith during Songs From The Cinema Week
Danny Song Dream On
Rating 6.5Comment: Because of the screaming at the end this song would have been a better choice for Adam. Not my favorite performance by him at all. He'll definitley go home this week. Favorite performance of his was a tie between Jesus Take The Wheel and September.
Kris
Song Come Together The Beatles
Rating 7.5
Comment: For Kris it is all about artistry... as Kara has pointed out week by week. He knows how to make song his own.
Duets
Adam and Allison: Slow Ride By Foghats They have excellent chemistry together on the stage. This performance was very fun to watch. I agree with the judges when they said that they would definitley record a duet on one of their records. It would be phenomnial
Kris and Danny: If the duet performances were calcuated into tonight's judging then it would have saved Danny's chances of staying in the compettion because his solo performance was not up to par. I thought they did a good job.

Results Show Recap
Pro Daughtry
Pro No Doubt
Pro Ford Commercial
Con Allison being sent home. It should have been Danny.
Con Group number was the absolute worst ever.
Neither pro nor con. Paula's performance. Chereography was good but you could definitley tell it was lipsynced




Favorite Performances Throughout the Season

Alexis Grace was a powerhouse along with Allison. I was sad to see her go so early in the compettion. Every song she did was a favorite of mine from her audition to when she got eliminated during country week.
Michael Sarver and Megan Joy Corkery did not have very many memorable performances for me. Nor did Lil Rounds all of her stuff started to sound the same after a while.
Anoop Desai He was easy to fall in love with as his strong points was ballads. He did not fare so well with up-tempo numbers such as Michael Jackson's Beat It.
Scott McIntyre Hands down my favorite performnace by him was Mandolin Rain.
Matt Girard Honestly I thought his performance of My Funny Valentine was one of his best. Last week's theme was definitley his strong suit and I think that Kris should have gone home He also did really good with Stayin Alive, Part Time Lover and Let's Get It On.
Danny September and Jesus Take The Wheel
Allison: Don't Wanna Miss A Thing,Someone To Watch Over Me,Crybaby
Kris Ain't No Sunshine
Adam Tracks of My Tears, A Whole Lot Of Love
