AI Top 13 sing Michael Jackson
Nobody wore one sequined glove and I didn’t catch anyone grabbing their crotch. I also didn’t see any performances worthy of a future king or queen of pop. Don’t get me wrong, there were a couple good ones. But nobody does Michael like Michael.
Lil – Pink top with one ruffled shoulder, white pants and silver high heel strapies. It was ok, but she didn’t Make Me Feel the way the judges felt. They all loved it. Easily safe tonight but she is overrated.
Scott – Olive wool eastern block military jacket and jeans. He had a piano, but he’s going to have to do better if I’m going to Keep The Faith. He did pretty well, but Simon hated the song choice and so did I.
Danny – Church choir boy knocked out a high energy PYT in a herringbone blazer over maroon shirt with matching maroon glasses. Simon called the vocals “brilliant” but didn’t like his dancing. I thought he was one of the better performers of the night and I stand by my earlier prediction that he will be around a while.
Michael – So far tonight the judges have been overly nice to everyone. Which was fine for the first three performers, but now I think they are all on crack. If you didn’t like the oil rigger karaoke then You’re Not Alone. I’m still calling for an early departure. The judges’ fawning might save him this week, but I hope not.
Jasmine – Web site says she’s 16, but apparently she’s 17. Cute silky pink dress. Judges started to be a little less nice, but I’ll Be There for her this week. Wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible either.
Instead of just the contestants, maybe I should start to comment on what the judges are wearing. Actually… just Paula. This week – what’s up with those feathers? Also, am I the only one that noticed she was slurring a lot?
Kris – Ugly short sleeved green/black/white checkerboard shirt and black pants. I thought he did pretty well but I agree that it probably wasn’t the best choice of song for busting out a guitar. In a few weeks we might not Remember The Time he sang a Michael Jackson song, but I think he’ll still be in the competition.
Allison – Black faux leather hoodie over black top with belt and random chains. Throw in some grey stretch pants and black boots and her outfit almost distracted you from all the unnaturally red hair. I thought it was a great vocal on a boring song that I didn’t know. I’ll Give In To (Her) for now.
Anoop – Grey casual fall jacket over black tie and white shirt. Judges have gone from overly nice to obnoxiously mean. Even Paula hated it and she usually has nice things to say for everyone. They all pretty much want him to Beat It. I’ll admit it wasn’t the greatest, but he was better than a few others tonight, including…
Jorge – Grey blazer with pushed up sleeves over purple V-neck and black jeans. If he Never Can Say Goodbye then I will. Goodbye.
Megan – Dear, sweet, Megan. Cute red dress with doilies fashioned into shoulder straps. I wish she’d cover up the tattoo sleeve, but shucks… I like her. Simon hated it and I know some of you probably did too. (Chippy?) Kara pointed out that she puts her signature sound on everything and I’d like to see more. I know she can’t win, but I love the quirkiness. She probably should stop trying to dance (awful), but she’s our little Rockin’ Robin. Did anyone else catch her “caw, caw” at the end?
(Poodle – the robin goes “caw, caw”)
Adam – I think he should have worn all Black and White. Dress for the part, so to speak. Instead he wore a bluish leather jacket, a too-low V-neck shirt and black jeans. He was very good… in fact one of the best of the night. But the judges started smoking drugs again because they were ALL raving about him as if this was the best Idol performance ever. It wasn’t.
Matt – Brown leather jacket over a white shirt. Pretty solid performance, so I think he’s safe this week. It’s Human Nature for people to vote for a performance like that.
Alexis – Maybe she’s gone a pinch overboard with the “dirty it up” advice. Little black dress with black hose and multi silver chained necklace. She looked a little dirty, she sounded a little dirty and she sang a little Dirty Diana. Not quite as good as the performance that got her into the top 12, but still one of my favorites for the season.
Two are going home this week – I’m hoping for Michael and Jorge. Jasmine and Anoop are potentially in danger. Danny, Adam and Alexis were the best of the night. PLEASE don’t send Megan home yet. (Caw, caw.)

Okay I guess it is just me but if I have to listen to Adam scream his way through another song and then get called great I’m going to scream. I know under all that makeup he is good looking, and he can sing but really he isnt all that. And truthfully if that is the album he is putting out are you going to buy it.
And another thing how did Michael Jackson ever become the King of Pop the only songs I liked were the ones from the Jackson 5. (Maybe my opinion is colored because he is a freak.)
My choice for the two to go would be Scott (dreadful elevator music guy) and the Screamer but I agree your cast offs are more likely. But I think it will be Anoop and Jasmine–bad song choices.
Yea, the judges were WAY too nice to Adam. He’s got some talent and he is entertaining, but I wouldn’t be buying his music. Of course I don’t buy much of the music for any of the past AI winners either. I thought he was pretty good last night but I expect him gone somewhere in the middle of the group. Maybe the 7 spot.
MJ – yea… he’s a freak. But he sang some good stuff on The Wall and Thriller post-Jackson 5.
Dreadful elevator music guy?!? I’ll admit it was a lousy song choice and that he’s letting me down a bit, but give Scott another chance!
