Adam Lambert wowed again on American Idol last night as he performed the Smokey Robinson song ‘Tracks Of My Tears’.
Unusually Adam was not all glitz and glamour, in fact he really played down the song and showed us a real softer side to himself. He must have done something right as Smokey Robinson himself gave Adam a standing ovation.
So what did you think of Adam Lamberts American Idol performance this week?
The theme was Country songs and Adam wanted to stand out so put an Egyptian spin on the old Johnny Cash favourite ‘Ring Of Fire’. The judges were bemused and baffled, Kara in particular was at a loss for words.
Last night American Idol’s top 13 kicked off in Michael Jackson style and word is that Adam Lambert stole the show with ease. Adam has been the consummate performer since the audition stages of the show, he has stood out from day one and last night’s MJ song was nothing short of brilliant!
Yes you read the title right! Last night the American Idol judges twisted proceedings a little and at the end of the wild card round announced that this year, they were actually going to allow thirteen contestants through to the live finals rather than the usual twelve.
Anoop Desai, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey and Matt Giraud will now join Jorge Nunez, Scott MacIntyre, Lil Rounds, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver in next weeks first live show in the full size American Idol studio.
I think it would be fair to say that last night’s American Idol show was on of the most forgettable yet. Very few singers stood out and one who certainly didn’t was Kris Allen from Conway Arkansas.
Allen sang Michael Jackson’s ‘Man In The Mirror’ and I found his performance distinctly average. Have a watch of the video above and judge for yourself.
It was easy to predict that Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta would make it to the final 12 contestants. Alison blew the judges away with her rendition of Hearts ‘Alone’, whilst Adam the Emo Elvis strutted his stuff during a fabulous version of the Rolling Stones ‘Satisfaction’. Megan Joy Corkery should have been the third contestant through. I loved her folk sound and would have thought the fact that she strongly resembles Jennifer Garner would have carried her for at least a few more rounds.
Adam Lambert, a hot tip to win across the US, wowed all of the judges on last night’s American Idol– except Simon. While Paula Abdul told him “You’re in a league of your own. You’re leaving some people in the rear-view mirror”, Simon told him that “there were parts I thought were excruciatingly bad, and parts I thought were brilliant”, adding “this is going to be one of those love it or hate it things.
