Did The Idol Judges Just Shoot Themselves In The Foot?
So tonight on “American Idol” the Judge’s Save was finally used to save Matt Girard, who would have gone home. They had this week and next to use it, once to the top five though it was gone.
Did they make a wise decision? Using the save means TWO go next week, and they can’t save someone if they wanted to now.
The past few weeks Matt, Lil and Anoop have been looking like they could go at any moment. My guess is they figured they would be the next three out, that they’ve already figured Adam and Danny are final three. I think it’s between Allison and Kris right now for that last spot. I think the judges are betting on that as well with the save.
Next week is Disco week. Two will go home. People can mock disco all they want, those songs are not easy to sing by a long shot. Some will excel, some will fail. I think a lot will fail.
My opinions? First I’m biased in a big way, I adore disco. Yes, I said it!
Adam is clearly going to excel next week. His falsetto would make a BeeGees song an obvious choice. However with the 70s, he could easily go for a Glam Rock song and make a killing too. Adam + Gary Glitter = Win. Personally I want to see him do Sylvester “You Make Me Feel” or “Xanadu!”
Allison should excel, if she makes the right choice. I could see her falling for the Blondie “Heart of Glass” curse. STAY AWAY from that song Allison, it’s not easy to do! She needs to do “Knock on Wood” or “I Love The Nightlife.”
This is where the save is going to kick them in the butt. Lil Rounds, who has been horrendous these last few weeks, stands to make the biggest comeback next week. She needs to pick her song carefully. She needs to stay away from Gloria Gaynor and Patti Labelle, she can’t live up to either one, period. Thelma Houston’s “Don’t Leave Me This Way” she could go 50/50 with. It’s like a Whitney Houston of Disco song really, you do well or you shouldn’t have tried. She could probably do well with Sister Sledge or Dianna Ross’ “Upside Down.”
Matt, Kris, Anoop and yes even golden boy Danny . . . they are going to suffer next week. Anoop might be able to pull of a Andi Gibb ballad, maybe. Kris and Matt, I don’t know what the hell they will do. Danny . . . I just feel like he’s going to try Disco Inferno and burn burn burn!
Leave your thoughts on song choices for the contestants and who you think will rock it and who will flunk out of disco school.
this just sets up a vote for the worse to be able to do some harm. granted adam and allison seem to have a following, but dare i say they might have something to worry about now???

I did not agree with the judges choice to save Matt. I fear someone better will go home next week because of it.
I am very pessimistic about Disco week. I can only see Adam doing well.

The only reason I wanted Matt to be saved is because I feel that Lil should ave been then one to go home..not Matt. I do agree with what Simon said about him not going to win. That is a given. Disco week is gonna sucks and I can just see Adam now in his White suit and his hair slicked back doing some John Travolta moves (sorry..not an adam fan)
As for the final 2: it’s either going to come down to Adam and Allison or Adam and DANNY (who is from WI and I Love)…either way sadley Adam will win and probably end up on broadway which is what he should be doing, but I am still pulling for Danny!!!!
However, Danny is going to struggle this week and I think they are going to be kicking themselves in the Ass if he (or allison or kris) get sent packing cuz of Disco 🙁
