Pony Up Simon

Wednesday night American Idol will setup a phone number where anyone can donate money to the “Idols Give Back” Charity. My question is how much of his salary will Simon donate to the cause. According to google Simon makes 43 million a year from Idol and other various projects. Thats an awful lot of [...]

lots of giving [04/24/07]

post from idolreview.net - Blogging American Idol on 24 April 2007 09:21:00 PM. © idolreview.net - Blogging American Idol

Tonight, Idol is giving back. I thought it gave enough last week with the Sanjaya elimination, but clearly, it is in the giving mood. Ryan starts in the control booth. And is guilting people into voting more this week because it will be saving lives. But Bono is here, so it [...]

American Idol 2007 Episode 32 - Top 6 Performance
Show Review

post from American Idol 2007 Review - on 24 April 2007 09:20:20 PM. © American Idol 2007 Review -

Welcome to the first of the Idol Gives Back shows. Oh, and it's top six night too.

Tonight, our contestants have chosen inspirational songs or "Life Anthems". This really should be a good show as the songs each contestant is singing are likely to be ones that mean a lot to them. I'm certainly expecting to see some really emotive performances tonight.

Contestant: Chris Richardson

Song Choice: Change the World
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5701 & 1 866 436 5707

I really like this song. It's well suited to Chris and it's a great way to open the show. This might just be shaping up to be a really good night of quality entertainment on American Idol for a change. :)

Contestant: Melinda Doolittle

Song Choice: There Will Come a Day
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5702 & 1 866 436 5708

It should come as no surprise to hear Melinda performing something Gospel tonight. Certainly the genre she's most comfortable with and a reasonably good performance from her. I'll let her off for sounding the same though this week since it's one of those shows where you really do need to put your best "self" out there.

Contestant: Blake Lewis

Song Choice: Imagine
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5703 & 1 866 436 5709

From one religious song to one that mentions the end of religion. This song is legendary and while the performance didn't really offer anything new, it was still a solid performance.

Contestant: Lakisha Jones

Song Choice: I Believe
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5704 & 1 866 436 5710

After all the performances that Lakisha has given us that may have proved she can sing, this one only made one statement - I am no Fantasia Barino.

Contestant: Phil Stacey

Song Choice: The Change
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5705 & 1 866 436 5711

I actually really liked this performance by Phil. I thought it had some really nice moments and his tone was really good as well. My only frustration is that from week to week, Phil is kind of a hit and miss contestant. Some weeks he's on. Some weeks he's not.

Contestant: Jordin Sparks

Song Choice: You'll Never Walk Alone
Ringtone:
Voting Number: 1 866 436 5706 & 1 866 436 5712

Jordin is a sweet kid but this performance didn't do it for me. She was pitchy the whole way through and despite the fact that the make up room is doing their best to pretty her up, her singing just wasn't on par this week at all.

A few points about this weeks show:

Voting lines are open for 4 hours
News Corp, which owns Fox, will donate 10cents per call up to 50 million.

Another interesting week in Idol. Who will be going home? Will our poll be right?

Who was your favourite? What did you think of tonight's show? Make sure you vote in our poll.
