Adam Lambert killed "Black Or White" on Michael Jackson week of American Idol. His Top 13 performance is on the left, while Lil Rounds' excellent rendition of "The Way You Make Me Feel" is on the right. (They both have incredible recording voices!) I guess you could say this week was pretty hit & miss for the contestants. In addition to the above standouts, I liked Kris Allen (to an extent), the underrated Jasmine Murray, &, for some backwards reason, Megan Joy Corkrey. I was a bit surprised by Michael Sarver, but I still don't like him, & Anoop Desai wasn't as bad as the judges made him out to be. Now, Allison Iraheta (who America isn't digging NEARLY as much as the judges) was a mess, as was the painfully out-of-tune performance from Matt Giraud. Poor Jorge Nunez was in fact 'bad' & Alexis Grace is like a six-year-old girl trying to sing that can't. As for Scott MacIntyre, the truth of the matter is that he just isn't a good enough singer to be here. Not only can that be said about Old Yeller (AKA Danny Gokey), but the guy doesn't even know the difference between yelling & singing.
When it comes to the elimination of Jasmine & Jorge, I wasn't very surprised nor did it really affect me. While I did like Jasmine, it's been evident for a while that she just isn't clever enough with her song choices to survive in the competition. Also during the results show were performances from Kelly Clarkson & Kanye West:
Kelly Clarkson "My Life Would Suck Without You"
Kanye West "Heartless"
