I'll be adding to this article later; the weather was too nice to do anything AI--just wanted to get it going:Top 7 week, round 2--no mentor; theme: disco. Three of the seven contestants chose Donna Summer songs. Two of those three were in the bottom 3 and there were 2 boots this week from the bottom 3. Just sayin'.
Results night performances from David Archuletta and a disco review from Freda Payne, Thelma Houston and "KC" as in KC and the Sunshine band, only no Sunshine band, just back up dancers.
Singing order:
1. Lil "I'm Every Woman" (Chaka Kahn) **first boot**
2. Kris "She Works Hard For The Money" (Donna Summer)
3. Danny "September" (Earth, Wind and Fire)
4. Allison "Hot Stuff" (Donna Summer) **b3**
5. Adam "If I Can't Have You" (Yvonne Elliman)
6. Matt "Stayin' Alive" (Bee Gees)
7. Anoop "Dim All The Lights" (Donna Summer) **second boot**
The Pimp Report
Lil--complete and total depimp. Not only did she have to open the show for the second time in the top 13 when 2 of the 7 have never done so, but she had to endure Simon telling her it was her last week to perform for America. And then when he gave comments to Kris he was sure to jab Lil again, calling her karaoke. You knew it wasn't going to be good when Randy started his commentary. His tone and delivery were all about burying Lil.
Kris -- Did anyone notice that Kris dressed like Simon, as in a white tshirt? I'm amused. Kris got pimped. More info on him and the rest of the performers later.
Danny--the depimping by Simon is well underway. Mixed from the others judges. More later.
Allison -- totally pimped. Agenda much, AI?
Adam -- pimped. Deservedly.
Matt -- pimped by placement (and unfairly imo) and sorta pimped by performance.
Anoop -- de pimped by judges yet pimped by placement. The judges negativity won over placement. Gee wonder who they wanted to go home.
Results night
Note the agenda from the opening...more later.
Some quick thoughts:
Kris got the first "you are safe" of the remaining 6. Highest votes? A pimp nonetheless.
Matt's not being in the bottom 3 has me wondering what the shelf life of a pimp is?
Next week: Rat pack theme.
