My God I'm Old
Tonight was songs from the year you were born. If you don't think you are old, go to www.discjockey.org/topsongs.html and check out the songs that were popular the year you were born.
S and I were eating dinner during the show. We started talking about songs and the years that they were recorded. He couldn't believe that the songs popular his year were dominated by the Beatles and the Monkees. I don't even want to say what was popular when I was born. I truly believe they are all dead now.
Anyway this group of Idols mostly were all born in the 80's. I have to say right up front that I forgot how awful the songs were that decade until tonights show. From the bottom up.
8. Kris - 1985 "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" you know I simply adore Kris, but tonight was awful. But I'd still dance with him anytime he wants.
7. Scott - 1985 "The Search Is Over" no it's not, let's keep searching for a new idol, and it's not going to be Scott.
6. Not So Lil Round - 1984 "What's Love Got To Do With It?" - well she looked way better this week than last week, but I swear she sounded exactly the same as last week. So to answer the question of the song: Absolutely Nothing.
5. Matt -1985 "Part Time Lovers" thank god he wore a hat tonight covering that weird growth on his forehead. The judges loved his performance, I thought it was just OK. I liked him better last week. I guess Matt and I are part time lovers. Every other week, he is great, then he disappears. Hopefully next week he will be back.
4. Anoot - 1986 "True Colors" one of the few good songs in the 80's. He did fine. Nothing spectacular, but OK.
3. Danny - 1980 "Stand By Me" it started out as a big mess, but he fixed it and it turned out OK.
2. Adam - 1982 "Mad World" very dramatic. Adam for sure is the most versatile performer.
1. Allison - 1992 "I Can't Make You Love Me", finally they had to go the 90's to have something that really wowed me. She says she can't but she did tonight. I totally love Allison.
Tonight only Adam and Allison performed like they really want to win. For the most part the show was just like the music from the 80's, just OK. My question is how come no one sang anything from George Michael? They would have got my vote.
Until Next Week - Wise OUT

If I had to pick a song to sing, I'd do Lady by Kenny Rogers.
I too have the monkees in my year.. YUCK! Rick, your comments were spot on to what we thought too.
Hey Cousin! Love reading your blog and hope you are well. I really enjoy Adam Lambert. Yeah, some days I feel as old as dinosaur poo.
Love to you, Tammy
This is not the first time I have rewound Adam's song on AI. I mean, OMG becky... that boy can sing! Yeah, I know I have to keep a check on the "cute factor" in my opinion. With that said, I'd say Kris has quite the magnetic appeal boosting his just 'above average talent' to a higher score with me than probably is justified. But Adam... Humble, stylish, artistry and range... and, oh yeah, handsome.
The year that I was born? They only had sticks and hollow logs to bang on. But seriously, it was 1970-71, the year of greatest adventure for a young boy in high school (literally).. When Jim Morrison with the Doors rocked it out with LA Woman... Lost my album somewhere along the line, but I do roust it out of my iTunes every so often. Now all I need is the hair to go along with it !
