#682 - American Idol 8 Top 13

ENGLISH

I actually had many things going on today which could be written here in my blog, but I'm gonna put those aside and write about the top 13 show of this season American Idol instead, since it's so exciting, haha...

So, this week's theme was Michael Jackson. I was really excited with this theme since I really like some of Michael Jackson's songs. Thanks to my parents for keeping on playing them when I was a kid, about 9 or 10 years old, haha... . Probably that kinda influenced me to like those songs. Well anyway, this theme rocks.

There are new twists on this show, one was revealed that (as predicted), this week is a Double Elimination Week. One twist will be revealed on The Result Show, whatever that is.

Anyway, after watching the performance, here's what I think:

IDOLS-01 : Lil Rounds. She did great, she has a great voice which she can control. That's good. However, I kinda expected more from her, she could have done better, hmmm... . Score: 8

IDOLS-02 : Scott MacIntyre. I always think that he's not that good. Tonight, I think it's proven. He's not that good for me. His performance was kinda plain. Score: 6.5

IDOLS-03 : Danny Gokey. Yeah, he definitely has a great and distinguished voice. He sang well. The good thing is that he didn't bring his wife's death anymore, haha... . Score: 8.25

IDOLS-04 : Michael Sarver. Wow, he performed better than I expected, haha. Good job. Score: 7.25

IDOLS-05 : Jasmine Murray. Hmmm, kinda plain, 'old', and a bit boring. She didn't do really well. I think she should have picked another song tho. Score: 6

IDOLS-06 : Kris Allen. Wow, this guy really got my attention. He did really good. He really mastered Michale Jackson's songs, after also goodly performing 'Man in the Mirror' on his semifinal round, he also did great this week. Sure his voice isn't the best (but still it's good) but I think singing is not only about having good voice, rite? haha. Somehow, there's something in him that makes me like him more than Danny Gokey, hmmm. I think it's his character and personality, haha. Way to go!! Score: 8.25

IDOLS-07 : Allison Iraheta. Okay, she's a rocker. However, I just think she didn't "click" to the theme this week, hmmm. Score: 7.5

IDOLS-08 : Anoop Desai. Well, "Beat It" is one of Michael Jackson's songs that I really recognize. He really picked the wrong song. His voice really is not 'strong' enough for this song. Bad for him. Score: 5.5

IDOLS-09 : Jorge Nunez. Hmm, another boring performance. I think he picked the wrong song. For me, he was the worst for the night, sad to say. Score: 5

IDOLS-10 : Megan Joy. I like this girl. However, I had never heard the song before, and I think it was really 80s, and I just didn't like it as I like her two performances before on the semifinal and wildcard, hmmm... . Score : 6.75

IDOLS-11 : Adam Lambert. Well, for me he was the best of the night. He did really good I think. Score: 9

IDOLS-12 : Matt Giraud. He did well. It just happens that his genre is not 'clicked' to me, so I'm kinda okay with his performance. Score: 7

IDOLS-36 : Alexis Grace. Whatta stranger number, wkwkwkw. Anyway, I think it was over the top tho. She has great voice and I kinda like it now, but still, not my fave. Score: 7.5

So, my top three:
1. Adam Lambert
2. Kris Allen
3. Danny Gokey

My bottom four (since two are out this week)
10. Scott MacIntyre
11. Jasmine Murray
12. Anoop Desai (OUT)
13. Jorge Nunez (OUT)

Anyway, about the unrevealed twist, I can make a guess based on what Simon said. Before that, I think the bottom four will be announced as unsafe this week (even if it's gonnabe the bottom three, it's still not a problem tho). Then, from here on, there are two possibilities:
(1) from this bottom four, the judges will pick TWO contestants to go home, regardless their actual position based on the votes.
(2) from this bottom four, the lowest vote-getter will be voted off. Then, the judges will eliminate ONE other contestant, regardless the position.

It's just my guess tho, we will see, haha

BAHASA INDONESIA

Sebenarnya aku ada beberapa hal terjadi hari ini dan harusnya sih jadi bahan posting kali ini. Namun, aku akan menundanya dulu dan nulis tentang show 13 besar nya American Idol aja ah, soalnya memang menarik sekali sih, haha...

Jadi, tema minggu ini adalah Michael Jackson. Aku sangat senang dengan tema ini karena aku sangat suka beberapa lagunya Michael Jackson. Yah, trims buat orangtuaku yang sering mainin tu lagu waktu aku kecil, sekitar 9 atau 10 tahun, haha... . Mungkin itu ya yang bikin aku suka sama lagu2 itu. Ya gitu lah, tema minggu ini keren dah.

Nah, ada beberapa 'twists' baru di show ini kini, salah satunya adalah (seperti yang sudah diprediksi), minggu ini adalah Double Elimination Week. Satu twist akan diungkapkan di Result Show, apa pun itu.

Nah, habis melihat penampilan minggu ini, ini dia pendapatku:

IDOLS-01 : Lil Rounds. Dia bagus seh, dengan suara yang bagus dan bisa dia kontrol. Bagus tuh. Ya namun aku agak berharap lebih dari dia deh, dia bisa lebih baik sebenarnya, hmmm... . Skor: 8

IDOLS-02 : Scott MacIntyre. Aku selalu berpendapat kalau dia itu tidak sebagus itu. Malam ini, terbukti deh. Penampilannya menurutku agak datar. Untukku, dia nggak sebagus itu. Skor: 6,5

IDOLS-03 : Danny Gokey. Ya, dia jelas punya suara yang bagus dan beda. Dia nyanyi dengan baik pula. Yang bagusnya lagi dia gak bawa2 kematian istrinya lagi, haha... . Nilai: 8,25

IDOLS-04 : Michael Sarver. Wow, dia tampil lebih baik dari dugaanku. Bagus deh. Skor: 7,25

IDOLS-05 : Jasmine Murray. Hmm, koq agak datar, 'kuno', dan agak membosankan yah. Gak terlalu istimewa kalau menurutku. Seharusnya dia memilih lagu lain dah. Skor: 6

IDOLS-06 : Kris Allen. Wow, ni orang benar2 menarik perhatianku. Dia bagus juga ternyata. Dia juga kayanya memang menguasai lagu2nya Michael Jackson dah, setelah juga menyanyikan 'Man in the Mirror' dengan bagus banget di semifinal-nya, dia juga tampil bagus minggu ini.Memang sih suaranya bukanlah yang terbaik (tapi ini bukan berarti suaranya jelek, suaranya bagus koq) tetapi nyanyi kan gak cuma sekadar punya suara bagus saja kan? Oya, entah mengapa ada sesuatu di dia yang membuatku lebih suka dia daripada Danny Gokey. Rasanya sih karakter dan kepribadiannya deh, haha. Bagusss!! Skor: 8,25

IDOLS-07 : Allison Iraheta. Oke, dia adalah rocker. Namun, koq dia agak gak "cocok" aja sama tema minggu ini yah, hmmm. Skor: 7,5

IDOLS-08 : Anoop Desai. Yah, "Beat It" adalah salah satu lagu Michael Jackson yang aku bener2 kenal. Rasanya dia salah pilih lagu. Suaranya gak sekuat itu untuk nyanyi lagu ini. Sayang aja. Skor: 5,5

IDOLS-09 : Jorge Nunez. Hmm, penampilan yang membosankan lagi. Rasanya salah pilih lagu juga. Untuk aku, dia yang terburuk malam ini, sayang sekali. Skor : 5

IDOLS-10 : Megan Joy. Aku suka ni cewe. Namun, lagunya aku belum pernah dengar, dan kedengaran sangat 80an, dan aku gak sesuka penampilan ini kaya aku suka dua penampilannya sebelumnya di semifinal dan wildcard deh, hmmm... . Skor: 6,75

IDOLS-11 : Adam Lambert. Yah, untuk aku dia yang paling bagus malam ini dah. Dia bener2 bagus. Skor: 9

IDOLS-12 : Matt Giraud. Nyanyinya bagus juga. Cuma masalahnya kebetulan aja genre-nya gak cocok dengan saya, makanya aku agak biasa2 saja dengan penampilannya. Skor: 7

IDOLS-36 : Alexis Grace. Nomernya aneh ya, wkwkwkw. Ngomong2, bener2 agak terlalu berlebihan dah penampilannya. Suaranya bagus dan aku lumayan suka, cuma masih aja belum menjadi favoritku. Skor : 7,5

Jadi, tiga teratasku:
1. Adam Lambert
2. Kris Allen
3. Danny Gokey

Empat terbawahku (karena akan ada dua yang keluar minggu ini)
10. Scott MacIntyre
11. Jasmine Murray
12. Anoop Desai (KELUAR)
13. Jorge Nunez (KELUAR)

Ngomong2, tentang twist yang belum disebutkan, rasanya aku bisa membuat tebakan deh berdasarkan apa yang dibilang Simon. Sebelumnya, rasanya empat terendah akan diumumkan sebagai tidak aman minggu ini (walaupun kalo cuma tiga terendah pun rasanya juga tidak masalah). Nah, dari sini, ada dua kemungkinan:
(1) dari empat terendah ini, juri akan memilih DUA orang langsung untuk tereliminasi, gak peduli posisi sebenarnya berdasarkan voting.
(2) dari empat terendah ini, yang dapat suara terendah langsung tereliminasi. Kemudian, juri akan mengeliminasi SATU peserta lagi, ga peduli posisi sebenarnya.

Hanya tebakanku seh, akan kita lihat nanti, haha
