Idols paradise- American Idol Season 8

I am one of the American Idol’s fans since season 3. Can you imagine? 8 years down the road; America is running for this show and it’s definitely a hot and the most successful show.

With Ryan Seacrest remained the host of this show; the same judges- funny and energetic Randy Jackson, meaningless and sometime speechless Paula Abdul, the cruel and unpredictable Sir Simon Cowell (he just honored “SIR” by Queen Elizabeth) and a pretty new judge Kara Dioguardi is added to this show this year.

This season perhaps is the strongest group so far. Now, it’s time to summarize your Top 7 contestants.


Allison Iraheta
The 16 years old, young and energetic Allison reminds me of Kelly Clarkson (the first American Idol). The powerful of her voice is gifted and definitely she could go further in this competition. Her best song:

• I don’t want to miss a thing- Top 7

Anoop Desai
The American born Indian is now living in his American Dream. Though, he is a minority citizen in US but he managed to get himself into Top 7 which is not easy. He got a good voice but he needs to get more votes from Americans. Let’s check out his best songs in the competition:

• You are always on my mind- Top 10
• True color – Top 8
• Everything I do, I do it for you- Top 7

Adam Lambert
The fashionable, funky and most versatile contestant in this competition; he has never been into the bottom 3, he got a good voice and the most important thing is he never copies the original songs during the competition, he comes out the song in HIS way which American Idol is looking for. He is definitely in the “Star Zone” and makes his way through the end of this competition. Check out his best performances so far:

• Black or White- Top 13 (highly recommended, it was brilliant till my goose bump came out)
• Smokey’s song- Top 10 (recommended)
• Play the funky music- Top 9
• Mad world- Top 8 (highly recommended, it made Simon Cowell stood on his feet)

Danny Gokey
He is one of my favorites. No doubt he has a good voice and his vocal is one of the best among the contestants. Same with Adam, he has never been into bottom 3. While he sings, he put lots emotion into the songs and makes them flawless. Check out:

• What hurts the most- Top 8

Kris Allen
Well, he is a talented singer who can play guitar, keyboard and etc. He is the one who most of the judges praised from week to week. He is the one who has improvement and well progress week after week. Basically, all of his past performances were worth to watch; do check out his performances starting from Top 13. However, the one that I re-run more than 6 times was:

• Ain’t no sunshine- Top 8 ( Gees, my goose bump came out whenever I watch his performance singing this song, it was fabulous).

Lil Rounds
The only black remained in this competition. She has a powerful voice. However, according to the judges, she keeps picking the wrong choice of songs every week and she was in bottom 3 last week. The song I like the most was:

• Independence day – Top 10 (but none of the judges like it)

Matt Giraud
He looks like Justin Timberlake and sounds like Michael Buble. He can plays well for piano and keyboard. He is talented and I like him very much. But, the only problem of his; is he unable to choose properly whether to come out a soft or R& B song. All of the judges like most of his performances. Like Kris, most of his performances were certainly worth to watch. He was the one who got the less of votes but the judges had stood in and saved him from being kicked out last week. Mean, he will be in AI next week. Americans, please vote for him!!!

• So Small- Top 10
• Smokey’s week- top 9

And, special dedicated to Scott MacIntyre, congratulation to you for made your AI’s journey to Top 8. It ain’t easy. You never give up yourself though you are vision impaired. You’re a talented singer and pianist. And, you’re certainly idol for the Americans. All the best!!!

Though someone’s American Idol dream may goes to the end with someone’s glory. I hope those who can sing can become the next Chris Daughthy or next Jenifer Hudson; either best selling singer or an Oscar and Grammy Awards winner.

I am going to make a wild guess (actually not tat wide); Adam Lambert will become the next American Idol. May the best man/ woman wins!!!
