American Idol Predictions: Who will be out in the top 4

Yes I got it right again last week! Buuuuttttt ...... hmmm something weird has happened to the iTunes ratings and reviews. It has too little ratings that no amount is listed! It's either
1) Out of a sudden
2) Nobody in America likes all the contestants anymore
3) There are some technical problems on iTunes
4) They did it on purpose as they do not want to disclose the number of ratings and reviews because it is such an accurate indicator of who will be out!

Now that my most powerful tool is gone, I have to give my weekly prediction based on my gut feeling. Oh well, I guess I have to drink my can of Coca Cola to make me smarter. Gotta love those product placements in shows heh.

This week is rock week and I think Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta must be delighted. Adam was of course the best performer of the night (what a surprise ..) and Allison in my opinion is the second best of the night so I'm sure both of them will be save this week. The Adam and Allison duet was also very good. (I wonder why they added duet into the competition, are they following Taiwan's version of American Idol, "One Million Star" where they have duets every now and then. Maybe they will have duets with superstars in future season just like "One Million Star".)

I think Kara is in love with Adam. Last week she said something like she opens her mouth whenever Adam Lambert is infront of him (which reminded me of a recent south park episode featuring the Jonas Brothers heh), and this week, she wears the same jacket as Adam. I won't be surprised if she rushes to buy his album when it comes out in the future.

The other 2 contestants Danny Gokey and Kris Allen showed that rock isn't their thing today. Danny's final note/scream was like a girl screaming for help! Kris Allen didn't do much better, I thought his performance was quite boring. Their duet was quite nice though, although not as good as the Adam and Allision show.

I don't have the iTunes Reviews Ranking due to the reason stated above so I can't see who is the least popular last week :( Let me just put the iTunes Reviews Ranking of the week before (minus Matt Giraud) and see if its helps.

1) Adam Lambert - 1428 ratings / 326 review (avg 4.5 stars)
2) Kris Allen - 1240 rating / 348 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
3) Allison Iraheta - 602 ratings / 211 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
4) Danny Gokey - 428 ratings / 128 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)

*Matt Giraud was last

Adam was surprisingly in the bottom 2 last week (fake?), so I guess all his fans will be panicking and will call and sms till their fingers get blisters. His performance was amazing so that would help too. Allison would be safe too due to her performances and the image transfer of Adam to her after their duet. The 2 who are in danger are as stated before, Kris and Danny. If you look the rankings, Danny is last and should be out, but that ranking is the ranking 2 weeks ago and is quite outdated. Now that there is only four of them, Kris's voice seemed weak as compared to the other 3, and based on previous rankings where Kris has always been yo-yoing up and down. So I think it should be Kris Allen at the bottom instead of Danny.

My Prediction: Kris Allen to go Home (Sorry girls)

American Idol Predictions: Who will be out in the top 5

Now that there are only 5 contestants left in the competition and all 5 of them performed well last night, it will be harrrrrrrd to predict anything base on the performance. So this week, I will just base my prediction solely on the iTunes Review Ranking. Simon predicted that Allison Iraheta might be in trouble tonight. Will he be right? Or will the iTunes Review Ranking be as spot on as last week (damn should have predicted base on that last week).

Here is your iTunes Review Ranking based on last week's performance ....

1) (1) Adam Lambert - 1428 ratings / 326 review (avg 4.5 stars)
2) (2) Kris Allen - 1240 rating / 348 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
3) (3) Allison Iraheta - 602 ratings / 211 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
4) (5) Danny Gokey - 428 ratings / 128 reviews (avg 4.5 stars)
5) (4) Matt Giraud - 267 ratings / 82 reviews (avg 4 stars)

Adam Lambert must be feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeliiiinnnnggg good right now. He has been ranked number 1 in the iTunes REview Ranking for like forever! His has been consistently performing brilliantly every week which really justifies his top ranking every week. I have never seen any idol contestant perform so well every single week before. I've said before and I will say it again. He will win this season's American Idol for sure heh, the finals will be the easiest to predict. So it's a fight between the rest of the 4 contestants to join him in the finals. At the moment Kris Allen seems to be the favourite to join Adam Lambert in the finals.

One of the 4 potential runner-up to American Idol will be going home later tonight, and the contestant I predict will be Matt Giraud. This prediction is based on my usually reliable iTunes Review Ranking. Sorry Matt Giraud and fans.

Will the ranking system once again proof to be an accurate indicator?

American Idol: Wildcard Results

Great ... even when I guessed blindly I got 2 out of 3 correct! Actually it should be 2 out of 4 since they "decided" last minute that it would be the top 13 instead of the top 12. I thought they would choose the contestants based on their performance, but I think they went with who they liked. The performance was just for show. Although I like Jasmine Murray, I did not think she sang well but lucky for her she got through based on her personality and cuteness I think. Matt sang well and deserved the spot, when it was between him and Anoop, I was afraid he would be out but luckily they like Matt. Can't wait to hear him sing while playing the piano! I guess we will see more of Megan Joy Cockrey and her interesting dance too heh. I wonder whats the hype with Anoop, did not think he sang that well, I think it must have something to do with Slumdog Millionaire winning the Oscars. I thought Jesse Langseth would be a better pick to go through.

Tatiana performed great again but this time she switched to her irritating personality again which killed her chances of going through. Okay I admit, even I am getting irritated with her and am sort of relieved she is not through.

So now we have the top 13 instead of the top 12. Most of my favorites are still in the competition. Adam Lambert, Matt Giraud and Jasmine Murray do your best! I'm kind of sitting on the fence on Danny Gokey at the moment, have been influenced by the cynical people on some websites and forums saying how he makes use of his dead wife to gain votes. Didn't realize this till I read those stuff but I feel that it might be true. It might be unintentional, cause the death happened quite recently and he still misses her a lot. But if he shows or mentions her again in the top 13 without anyone asking, he will definitely be in my hate list. I'm going to add one person to my favorite and she is Allsion Iraheta. I don't know why, but these few days her performance last week has been playing in my head and I unintentionally start singing the song Alone lol. I'm so going to get an itunes gift card soon so that I can download their performance.

Next week, it will be though to predict since now I can only choose 1 out of 13. Its like horse racing, at first I could choose the placing (top 3) but now I can only choose the winning horse. The odds are definitely narrowed down here. Can't wait to see everyone perform next week!

American Idol : Group 2 Predictions

Yay mid semester examination is over! Can rest my brain for a while. Only for awhile casue I have presentation on Monday and more assignments to hand in the the next few weeks wooo hooo.

Just watched the American Idol Group 2 performance a while ago and although it might be a little late, here are my weekly predictions on who will go through.

The show started with some not so inspiring performance from the first four contestants, the worse being the very lame performance from Nick Mitchell or better known as Norman Gentle ... I really hope he does not make it through although there would definitely be some jokers voting for him just for fun. Matt Giraud and Jasmine Murray were one of the first 4 contestants unfortunately. Don't think either of them will make it through this week. However, based on the judges comments, i think both of them stand a high chance of coming back for the wildcard round. Hope they get the chance and please choose a better song the both of you.

After Norman Gentle's joke of a performance, Allison Iraheta made the first decent performance of the night .. okay actually it was a great performance heh. She I think will be the top girl who will go through. Another girl who impressed me was Megan Joy Corkrey ... I thought with that fierce looking tattoo on her right hand she would be those rocker kind, but she is actually quite sweet. Not sure I liked her dance though he he.

For the guys side, there is no contest for the top male. It will definitely be Adam Lambert! His performance was great, even better than Danny Gokey! He was the last contestant too, always an advantage.

Watch the video of his performance! (Not sure how long it will be up on youtube its removed though)


Love the new youtube borders, no need to go through the troublesome process of adding my own now he he
Here are a few more links in case this gets removed.
Adam Lambert sings Satisfaction
another link


This won't get removed I think. Only can hear his voice though.
If he does not get through, I will donate $5 (paypal only) to the first person who sees this and post the comment "Adam Lambert didn't go through, please give me my 5 bucks" =|

So my predictions are ....

Top Male - Adam Lambert
Top Female - Allison Iraheta
Next highest vote - Megan Joy Corkey

Kris Allen might have the chance of being the contestant with the next highest vote too. His performance was good and he is good looking. Sure to have lots of votes from teenage girls.

Got 2 right last week. How many will I get right this time?
