American Idol disco night recap: Kris Allen, Adam Lambert lead the pack

Posted on April 21, 2009

American Idol Disco Night 4/21/09 will have an intense competition. Last week, Matt Giraud was saved by the judges. No contestant was eliminated last week. This means two contestants will be booted from American Idol Disco Night 4/21/09 to keep the pace going.

Who may get booted after American Idol Disco Night? Last week, Matt Giraud, Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai were the bottom three scorers in terms of viewer votes. It may be safe to predict two of these three are likely to get eliminated after American Idol Disco Night 4/21/09.

It had disaster potential, but disco night on “American Idol” surprisingly resulted in an overall entertaining hour of performances.

Guitar-playing Kris Allen stood at the top of the pack with an acoustic version of “She Works Hard for the Money.” Judges also praised Adam Lambert’s emotional, falsetto-driven take on “If I Can’t Have You.”

The biggest train wreck of the night? Lil Rounds, who fell flat with her performance of “I’m Every Woman.” She’s likely to go home Wednesday. She’ll probably be joined on the double elimination night by Matt Giraud, whose rendition of “Stayin’ Alive” wasn’t good enough to, well, stay alive.

Who deserves to be serenaded with “Last Dance”? Share your thoughts on our “Idol” blog.

From realitytvmagazine.com:

Tonight on American Idol, the stakes have been doubled due to last week’s use of ‘the save’ by the judges, which means that this week on FOX, two contestants will be going home! Ryan Seacrest is introduced and says that the good news is that Matt Giraud is around for another week. Ryan introduces Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, Kara DioGuardi, and Simon Cowell, and the Top 7. The disco night starts immediately with Lil Rounds singing a Chaka Khan song, I’m Every Woman!

Lil is wearing a black catsuit and has a long flowing hairstyle. She sings in an energetic manner, using the entire stage and interacting with the audience more than ever before. Randy says she got the party started, but it sounded ‘wild’ to him – didn’t really show her as an artist though. Kara says that all of America has been waiting for her to sing a song like that, but she’s not sure it was worth the wait. Paula speaks up and says that Lil is on complete vocal rest, so she applauds the effort. Simon notes that Lil looks sad. She says she had fun tonight. Simon says it’s the last week that they’ll see her – the song was very copycat. Lil tells Ryan she disagrees with the panel.

Kris Allen is up next on Idol. He admits he was a little worried about the disco genre, but chose the tune She Works Hard For the Money by Donna Summer. In simple t-shirt and jeans, Kris brings the song down from the original arrangement by accompanying himself on guitar, but also adds a few musicians to funk it up. Kara tells him he took a risk – and it paid off big time! Paula says it had a Santana feel to it – a perfect fit! Simon calls it original, well thought-out and a fantastic performance! Randy adds that Kris knows who he is – he comes out every week and shows it – he’s ready for the big time!
