Who is your favorite from the American Idol top eight? I really like Scott and think that he did better than Anoop even though I still like Anoop. I just think people should give him more credit then people give him. He should not be number right he should trade places with Anoop. He will go home before Scott anyways.
Here is a preview of the aticle from EW.com:
8. Scott MacIntyre: (Last week: No. 9) Love the singer, but the singing? Well, not so much. It's true, his stripped-down rendition of "Just the Way You Are" was his best performance of the season, but it still had all the relevance of a Beta Tape Player in a Blu-Ray world, and contained more than its share of bunky notes. Since the judges pumped up the praise during "Top Downloads" Night, they don't need to worry about looking too cruel during "Songs from the Year You Were Born" Week. Isn't Top 8 enough for the inspirational contestant?
7. Lil Rounds: (Last week: No. 7) Is she one of this season's strongest singers, or an over-hyped shouter who keeps picking songs that are too big for her limited voice? The judges keep taking the former stance, but Lil's too-flat, too-strained "I Surrender" supported the latter opinion. It can't hurt her chances that she's one of only two remaining women, but Lil needs a breakout week to reverse weeks of dying buzz. The tragic array of hairstyles ain't helping, either.
6. Anoop Desai: (Last week: No. 5) After an awesome "Always on My Mind" and a solid "Ooo Baby Baby," 'Noop Dawg slipped backward with a decently sung but tepidly performed "Caught Up." Inconsistency is a problem, but so is his image. Needs to prove he's more than Joe Student singing an R&B ballad. Why not try delving into the alternative genre, and go for a radical style upgrade -- might we suggest a buzz cut? -- to make America take a second look/listen?
5. Matt Giraud: (Last week: No. 6) His off-pitch, almost maniacal cover of "You Found Me" was his biggest disaster since the "Viva La Vida" Incident. But Matt has a history of following up blunders with top-notch performances. Needs to take a lesson from season 7's talented Carly Smithson: The more desperately she wanted to win, the less fun it looked like she was having on the Idol stage, and the crueler Simon got with his feedback. In other words, how can anyone enjoy Matt if he's not enjoying himself?
