American Idol: Top 10 Performances, Live Thoughts

oscardahl · 03-25-2008, 12:00 PM

American Idol's Top 10 perform tonight, and given the way this season has gone, each and every performer has to bring their A game. Carly Smithson, one of the assumed favorites coming into the Top 12, found herself in the bottom three last week and threw a ton of conventional wisdom out the window. It wasn't that she gave a poor performance last Tuesday - she just wasn't special, she was forgettable, and the voters responded with apathy. If Carly can find herself in the bottom three, who in this top ten can't? The obvious, and right, answer is David Archuleta. Little David, America's darling, the fake-modest sweetheart who excites the loins of female teenagers across the country, is the prohibitive favorite to win American Idol this season. I want to see him give another poor performance, not because I'm evil, but because I want to see how everyone reacts. Will the judges rip him a new one? Will the voters sour, even a little? Will a Sanjaya-esque backlash begin?

I'll be here throughout the entire 90-minute episode tonight, updating live with my thoughts on every performance. Don't forget to refresh, and feel free to comment below with your opinions.

most website said that it is year that you're born

oscardahl · 03-25-2008, 04:53 PM

Yeah, it's songs from the year you were born.

I really wish they would stop with the cheesey out of sync arm waving...it's one of those Idol things that always really bothers me.

Triskele1080 · 03-25-2008, 05:35 PM

Ha! I guess Simon agrees with me about the idol "mosh pit"!

GarnageHall · 03-25-2008, 05:56 PM

Well, my We are the champions waiting was awarded. That was great.

I'm obviously getting too old, because I think ALL of these covers have been atrocious. We are the Champions was embarrassing, as was the Police cover. Total Eclipse of the heart isn't bad (as a song it is but at least it sounds as good as the radio version). I'm a glutton for punishment I guess since I keep watching this show.
