American Idol stars did not do any justice to Motown.

"Great"

By enviousxbeauty, Mar 27, 2009

I'm sorry to say but the top 10 finalists did not prove to me that they deserve to move on. I mean of course there were a few who rocked on, but for the most part I am embarrassed to have heard motown being slaughtered in such a way.

Nobody can ever top the original artists of the day, but there are those who come kinda close, and there are those who need to look out as fans turn and run, screaming, in the opposite direction.

I am surprised that Simon was no where near as harsh as I would have been.

One of my least favorite performances was "Ain't To Proud To Beg."

That is a beautiful song about a man demanding and pleading for his woman and let me just say that it was not beautiful tonight.moreless

"Great"

By Canogaparkcindy, Mar 26, 2009

Well Adam sure surprised me with a ot of development, since last week, I was starting to dislike him cause he was so weird about the song he picked last week. This week, he through away the rocker image, he cleaned up very nice I thought. Plus it was the best performance of the night. I'm pretty sure on who's going home tonight is probably Megan or the blind guy. Anyways I forgot his name. I have to say this is pretty anticipating. The Motown theme for this week wasn't my favorite. My favorite part is when Paula pulls out crayons and coloring books out of her skirt!? That was pretty weird.moreless
