American Idol - The Top 10 Who Got Their Groove On

Well, if you are planning on getting tickets to see the American Idol Tour this summer, these are the kids you will paying to see. I'm still a bit annoyed that Alexis went home last week instead of Scott. It just really irks me that the blind guy who has to be planted at a piano is going on the tour instead of little Pinkie. But that's history, and this week is Motown week so let's get this party started.

To get the kids inspired for this week's theme, producers sent them to Detroit where they got to meet Smokey Robinson (does he ever age?) and Berry Gordy and then were brought back to LA where Smokey joined them as their mentor. They are in the best of hands, let's just see who delivers and who butchers these masterpieces.


Matt Giraud kicks off the night with a piano accompaniment to Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On and he nails it. For a dorky white guy, he's got the soul it takes for this classic song and still is reminding us of Justin Timberlake. See you next week, Matt, great job!

Kris Allen, once again, donning his acoustic guitar and still looking cute, opted for How Sweet It Is by Jr. Walker and the All Stars. It's kind of theme park-ish if that makes sense. Safe, clean and not too memorable but one of his better performances. Not sure how he will fare tonight though. I think he will be safe with the pre-teen girl vote.

Scott "Bore Me" MacIntyre is up next and once again tickling the ivories. It's just really annoying me that he keeps using the piano crutch. They seriously can't just have him at the piano during the whole tour, can they? I know I keep harping on about it, but it's annoying the crap out of me. He makes yet another bad song choice with The Supremes' You Can't Hurry Love. Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! Sure, the guy is blind and, obviously, talented but he has just zero personality! Why didn't he get kicked off last week? With any luck, tonight will be the end of the line for him.

Megan Corkrey, who I have kind of liked for her quirkiness alone, chooses Stevie Wonder's For Once in My Life and it is a train wreck. She tried to make it more jazzy but it's just not translating well. Her voice isn't strong enough at all and it sounded very flat. And will she stop with her weird little chicken dance! She most certainly will be joining Scott in the center of the stage tomorrow night. The only thing that could save her is Vote for the Worst's campaign to save her. Remember it has worked for the likes of Scott Savol back in Season 4 and of course, Sanjaya in Season 6 and last year's Kristy Lee Cook and Jason Castro.

Anoop Desai, another one who does not deserve to still be on the show in my opinion, takes on The Miracles' Ooh Baby Baby. Sure he's got personalityand can sing but he's in no way a pop star. His performance is safe and really unoffensive but why is he still wearing that Members Only jacket. I know 80's fashion is back in style but that was never a good look for anyone. Anoop will live to see another day but he needs to somehow find within himself some star quality and that's not something you can just learn.

Michael Sarvers takes on The Temptations' Ain't Too Proud to Beg. It's way too big of a song for him and it feels more cabaret to me than anything. It's lacking that soul that Matt had. Considering how Scott and Megan performed, I think Michael will eek by. I would have liked to have seen him do the Rolling Stones' version of this song, which would have been a more interesting rendition for him to attempt. With any luck Middle America will take to the phone lines and keep oil rig guy in for at least one more week.

Finally, someone we can count on to do an awesome job. Lil Rounds picks the perfect song with Martha and the Vandella's Heatwave. It fits her voice and personality to a tee. The girl just has the it factor. Sure, she's got some major junk going on in her trunk but who cares when she has soul and talent. She just makes it all look so easy. Fantastic job and I am proud to say Lil is the first one joining the carpal tunnel worthy club this week. And just when I thought that my hearing was on the mend, the judges aren't giving her the glowing review that I expected. I get what they are saying in that it wasn't "stop everything wow" but it was by far, the best so far tonight.

Adam Lambert goes for an unplugged version of The Miracles' Tracks of my Tears and gets dolled up for the night as well and looks like a young Elvis. The boy nails it again! Like Lil, he just makes it look so effortless. He really could have done a rocker version of this but his choice of acoustic was brilliant. Adam, once again, you are worthy of carpal tunnel. See you next week and I still maintain he will make it to the finals!

Danny Gokey is up. I am just going to say that he bugs me. I don't know if it's the stupid white guy dances he does, but there's just something about him that irritates me which sucks because he can sing. He does a good job with The Temptations' Get Ready and we will be seeing him for a while longer. I don't have much more to say on the matter.

My favorite since day one, Allison Iraheta closes the show with The Temptations' Papa was a Rolling Stone. Amazing as I have come to expect. The girl has the whole package and wouldn't it be nice to have an edgy winner for a change. I still can't believe this little girl has this much soul at such a young age. Tonight I am proclaiming Allison - Queen of Carpal Tunnel!!!

Our Predictions:

Who is worthy of carpal tunnel this week? Hands down ~ Allison, Adam and Lil Rounds.

Who is going to go home tomorrow - I hate to say it but Megan, it's time, even though I'd prefer to see Scott out of the competition once and for all. He's just so boring and lackluster! So let's hope that VTFW's fanbase listen and keep Megan around for one more week so we can get rid of piano boy.

Who should you throw some votes at? Michael, he wasn't as bad as those other two and deserves one more week.

As usual, we would love to hear what you thought of tonight's show. So have it in the comments and we will be back tomorrow with the results. I'm 99.99% sure that the judges won't be using the save unless something goes horrificly wrong.
