AI Season 8: Top 7 Disco Night

Well, well, well, what do we have here... For the Top 7's second bout, it was disco night or should I say Donna Summer Night, lol. Personally, I think it was a complete showdown. It's never easy to sing disco songs but every aspiring idol delivered well.

At this point of the competition, it basically is about who has more talent and more personality.


On with my ranking...
Dim the lights...

KRIS ALLEN takes top spot for me for singing a very interesting version of the song She works hard for the money by Donna Summer. Weird but it worked. His move to go out of the stereotypical disco vibe made his performance rather a remarkable one.

ADAM LAMBERT finishes second for his top caliber performance. Like he can sing the phonebook!!! With his vocals, his style, his personality, he definitely is ready for stardom. Great!

DANNY GOKEY completes my top 3 for tonight with his version of Earth, Wind and Fire's song, September. His version was refreshing, very original. I like it when he hits high notes. And I have to agree with Kara, Matt always hits the right pitch. I think he's ready for this season's finals. I'm starting to like Gokey. :)

MATT GIRAUD has proven his worth and will "stay alive. I'm sure he worked his ass off to be able to come up with that performance (Staying Alive). Still, too Justin Timberlake-ish though.

ALLISON IRAHETA was just ok. What she did was enough to get herself through to the next round. Good thing America likes her now. But I tell you this, she is one good singer.

LIL ROUNDS is in big big trouble. She did get a good amount of appreciation from the crowd but not from the judges. Her version of the song I'm Every Woman, although up-tempo and very disco-ish, did not catch the expected disco vibe. It was good but not enough to keep her safe. I wish her well though.

ANOOP DESAI should go home. He's a fairly good singer but I don't really quite get his idea of disco night. I wish him well too. Btw, nice new look.

I'm calling curtains for Lil and Anoop... :)


P.S. It's not like I know more than the judges or being radically like one of the judges, I'm just spilling my thoughts out. :P
