This week, due to time constraints, they only allowed 2 judges to comment for each performance which I think is quite unfair. Those who don't have to listen to Simon might have a slight advantage heh. Adam once again proved that he is the next American Idol (I think I can copy and paste this sentence every week). I think they can compile all the recordings of his performances and come out with an album which will easily sell millions. Other than Adam, I don't think there are other outstanding performances. I think currently, the only 2 idols I look forward to seeing every week are Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta.How did the idols fare last week on iTunes?
American Idol: iTunes Top 10 Chart (the numbers in bracket are the positions they were in last week)
1) (1) Adam Lambert - 2975 ratings / 540 review (avg 4.5 stars)
2) (5) Allison Iraheta - 486 ratings / 89 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
3) (3) Danny Gokey - 293 ratings / 63 reviews (avg 4 stars)
4) (4) Matt Giraud - 289 ratings / 54 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
5) (6) Anoop Desai - 276 ratings / 85 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
7) (2) Kris Allen - 161 rating / 34 reviews (avg 4 stars)
8) (8) Lil Rounds - 109 ratings / 25 reviews (avg 3 stars)
As usual, Adam is at the top and Lil at the bottom. But for Lil, I think the iTunes ranking don't matter much as seen on previous weeks. Allison is back to number 2 (go Allison!). Danny and Matt are seating safely on the 3rd and 4th spot respectively. Wow (I used it again for Kris lol), seems like not many people like Kris's last performance, he dropped from 2nd to 7th! He is like a yoyo. I think he will be safe this week, but more bad performances from him and it will be the end of the road for him.
This week the only safe contestants I think are the top 3 in the iTunes ranking, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey. Lil Rounds might still be safe as she was in the bottom 3 last week and her fans will work extra hard to vote for her. Too little female contestants left in the competition for one to be out this week too.
So the 3 contestants who are I think are in danger of going home are Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Anoop Desai. Based on the iTunes ranking Kris is in danger, but after surfing around and looking at some polls he seems too popular to be out this week. All his female fans will definitely make lots of calls. The bad comments the Randy made will surely make his fans work extra hard. So it's now narrowed to Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai. Coincidentally, both guys sang songs by Bryan Adams and received comments from the Randy and Kara ha ha. Matt was on the receiving end worse comments from the judges but Anoop is lower in the iTunes Ranking. Damn it's a tough choice!. Okay I'm going to flip a coin now, heads for Anoop, tails for Matt ......................... okay done.
Anoop Desai will be going home this week.
