idol… the final 7

Well it’s been a while since we checked in on Idol, and the weeks and the performers have gone by… During this period I almost give up on tuning in week after week as it’s just a matter of time until we narrow it down to the top contenders. But somehow I still get upset when Alexis goes home before Anoop or Megan goes home before Scott.

But all is forgiven as long as Adam still keeps cranking out the winners. I actually missed last week’s performance show and it sounded like I missed Adam getting a standing O from Simon so I went back to the site to check out the performances.

And what do we think about the kids, and by we I obviously mean me:

• Adam – clearly the favorite, his voice, his performances, his song choice, his ability to mix it up while still presenting (as Kara might say) his unique artistry, is impressive
• Allison – the only other person who week after week sounds good and feels like she could actually be a recording artist
• Danny – has a good voice and some character, but he’s just got this awkward white guy singing vibe to him that makes it hard to picture him recording anything you’d buy
• Lil – also has a good voice but doesn’t seem capable of picking the right songs, showcasing her voice, or adding any personal style to her presentation
• Matt – has some chops and some style but is inconsistent and not quite willing to put himself into the Justin Timberlake box folks want him to be in
• Kris – a cutie patootie and though he’s not a powerhouse he seems to be picking songs that let him sing just enough, likable but not a ton of personality
• Anoop – though he won our hearts with his early enthusiasm he just doesn’t have the voice or the stylings to be a threat

So stay tuned, or just wait a few weeks for a little more riffraff to go, and see if Adam will be your idol. Next week Quentin Tarantino joins us for ‘Idols at the Movies.’
