When it comes to AMERICAN IDOL, It seems ADAM LAMBERT was the APRIL 28th TOP 5 favorite among the AMERICAN IDOL JUDGES and audience. AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANT ADAM LAMBERT performed an amazing rendition of FEELING GOOD during the AMERICAN IDOL top 5 "RAT PACK" night.
Although AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE RANDY JACKSON called ADAM LAMBERT “theatrical.” SIMON COWELL responded by saying “It’s like criticizing a cow for mooing.” Strange, I remember SIMON COWELL saying something quite similar a few weeks ago comparing the ADAM LAMBERT AMERICAN IDOL performance to a Rock Opera.
ADAM LAMBERTS song choice FEELING GOOD was a 1966 cover by Sammy Davis Jr., but it has been covered by several other singers. FEELING GOOD was also covered by jazz singer Michael Bublé and also by the Pussycat Dolls. Perhaps the most well-known cover of the ADAM LAMBERT SONG CHOICE FEELING GOOD was sung by Nina Simone on her album, I Put a Spell on You.
With all those versions to pull from, AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANT ADAM LAMBERT chose British alt-rock group Muse, whose organ-driven version of "Feeling Good" appeared on their 2001 album Origin of Symmetry. The band, which AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANT ADAM LAMBERT did not credit by name on Tuesday, actually once sued Nestlé for an unauthorized use of "Feeling Good" in a TV ad for instant coffee.
Other AMERICAN IDOL TOP 5 performances included ALLISON IRAHETA, who turned 17 Monday, performed “Someone to Watch Over Me.” AMERICAN IDOL judge RANDY JACKSON said he had worried about her ability to sing this genre, being “mad young,” but, he said, “You come out here looking like Brittany Murphy, looking dope, you sing like Pink, except with like 9,000 more octaves.”
The AMERICAN IDOL performances of DANNY GOKEY who sang “Come Rain or Come Shine” and KRIS ALLEN who sang on “The Way You Look Tonight,” were lack lustre at best when compared the the stellar AMERICAN IDOL performances of ADAM LAMBERT and ALLISON IRAHETA.
MATT GIRAUD was really not an AMERICAN IDOL favorite for his so-so performance of “My Funny Valentine.” AMERICAN IDOL judge RANDY JACKSON said the slightly “pitchy” song was “a 6 out of 10,” and newbie AMERICAN IDOL judge KARA DIOGUARDI said he seemed emotionally disconnected. Of course, PAULA ABDUL loved it, as that is her job, but then loudmouth AMERICAN IDOL judge SIMON COWELL shocked everybody by disagreeing with RANDY JACKSON. He compared Matt’s phrasing to Nat King Cole, and pronounced him “absolutely brilliant.”
