I was traveling this week, and really didn’t have time to watch the Wednesday night show and the Thursday elimination show until today. I thought this was a great week for Idol. Both nights were entertaining. I thought Fergie looked and sounded great. It was fitting to have Heart on the show, as there have many great Heart covers by Idols over the course of the show. I thought Fergie was a perfect addition for the group.
I’m not a big Miley Cyrus fan, but she is so huge right now that it was great that they had her on the show. It was cool watching Terri Hatcher singing Carrie’s song, and how about her band - that was way cool. Carrie always looks and sounds great, but my favorite performance of the night was Annie Lennox.
I was really surprised and pleased to hear the Idols sing ‘Shout to the Lord’ on the Thursday show, and I thought Chris & Jordin were just awesome together.
One final thought. I also rewatched the Tuesday show on my surround sound, and I have to say I didn’t really give Jason Castro nearly enough credit for his version of ‘Over The Rainbow’. It was a really great performance. I am still bummed out about Michael’s premature departure from the show. There is just no way he deserved to leave this week. Oh well, it’s all about the votes……
