Last night the American Idols performed songs from the Mo-Town genre of music. The guest mentor of the night was Smokey Robinson, renowned mo-town artist. The 10 finalists include: Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Matt Giraud, Lil Rounds, Allison Iraheta, Michael Sarver, Megan Joy, Danny Gokey, Anoop Desai, and Scott McIntyre.
Here are my opinions of their performances-
Kris Allen: "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You"- I'm impressed that this guy can play an instrument. He is a good singer, but theres something about his voice that I don't really like. He puts me in mind of a not so good Jason Mraz. His song wasn't horrible, but it wasn't amazing. Average.
Adam Lambert: "The Tracks of My Tears"-Holy Elvis impersonator! At first glance I thought that Elvis was alive! But no, it was just a cleaned up, eye linerless version of Adam Lambert. I loved the arrangement of this song, but his voice grates on my nerves. Not only does his voice irritate me, but he sticks out his tongue when he hits the exceptionly high notes.
Matt Giraud: "Lets Get It On"-Like him, like his voice, hate this song. Awkward to say the least. End of story.
Lil Rounds: "Heat Wave"-I don't understand the hype that the judges give her. Yes, she can sing, but I've heard much better singers in her genre. This song didn't suit her well.
Allison Iraheta: "Papa Was a Rolling Stone"-Love her voice. For being only 16 years old, she can sing and keep up with people who have been singing much longer. Not a big fan of this song, but she can just about sing anything and sound phenomenal.
Michael Sarver: "Ain't Too Proud to Beg"-When he sings his mouth gets all strained looking and contorted which is annoying. Not that great of a singer, but could be mildly successful as a country artist.
Megan Joy: "For Once in My Life"-This girl has a unique voice, but she was a trainwreck on this song. Her voice was very shaky and strained, and the song was horrible. I think shes still around because shes a pretty girl.
Danny Gokey: "Get Ready"-Good voice, not a fan of the song. It was boring and corney. His in-sync dance moves with the back-up singers set me over the edge.
Anoop Desai: "Ooo Baby Baby"-He has a pretty good voice, not the best, but still good. He was able to sing the really high notes in this song and not go flat. Overall he was good.
Scott McIntyre: "You Can't Hurry Love"-I've got to give it to this guy for being almost entirely blind and being an amazing piano player. However, his voice isn't very contemporary, and the song last night along with his piano arrangement was horrible.
