Smokey Robinson sings with the Male Finalists from Season 6 (BEFORE Memorial Day).
It’s Motown week! The Idols hit the road last week and traveled to Detroit to sing Motown hits for Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. and singer/songwriter Smokey Robinson. As you can imagine, they were received by nothing less than a mob of screaming Idol fans. That’s right, a DOZEN screaming fans met them as they arrived! That is four more fans than the number of Idols! Megan and Michael stayed behind in LA due to illness. How long can Megan milk that? Wonder how many times she will cough this week. But, back to our healthy Idols and the 1.5 screaming fans that they each met upon arrival in Detroit. They will each tackle a Motown hit this week, and these are our predictions:
Allison: You’ve Really Got a Hold On Me
Anoop: My Girl
Danny: Papa Was a Rolling Stone
Kris: Tears of a Clown
Lil: My Guy
Matt: I Can’t Help Myself
Megan: Please Mr. Postman
Scott: What’s Goin’ On?
Michael: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
Adam: Heard It Through the Grapevine (In spoken word, because he is THAT unique.)
Thoughts on these predictions?
The results are in on the main page poll about Megan!
46% of the group think she's hot but her voice is not. 42% think she's hot and her voice is hot, too. So, good news for Megan - 88% of the pool thinks she's hot. Unfortunately, it's pretty split as to whether she can sing well.
6% of the group think Megan looks and sounds like this.
Thanks to everyone who voted!
Many of us are still recovering from Alexis’s departure from the show last week. Especially one day after The Daily News reported information from an AI “insider” who leaked that the producers had already picked the top 4 as Danny, Lil, Adam, and Alexis. Either the insider was wrong or the producers booted her off to prove that there are not messing with the results. Not that they had to take such a drastic step. The insider pretty much discredited herself when she called Lil a “dead ringer” for Fantasia. AS IF! At the risk of being bold, we at AI Headquarters believe that Lil would not be caught dead in this outfit:
Please. Comparing Lil to Fantasia is like comparing Jennifer Hudson to Tatiana Del Toro, which Tatiana basically did.
Perhaps the most exciting news of the week is the announcement that American Idol trading cards are coming soon!
We at AI Headquarters are proud to share exclusive images of the first batch of cards featuring this season’s idols.
Adam Lambert
Scott MacIntyre
And Megan Joy (not to be confused with the porn star)
So everyone take the change off your parents’ dresser, hop on your bikes, and head down to your local deli, magazine store, or candy shop! I’ll trade you five Diana DiGarmos for one William Hung!

First off, I hate Motown. Secondly, I was ROARING at the site of the Garbage Pail Kids!!!! Good call IPM! Anyone remember Handy Randy or Snotty Suzy? Those were my faves. If anyone can find one with my name, I'll be your BFF.
Discuss....
Song predictions from D & Shi...
Allison: Love Child
Anoop: Tracks of My Tears (or a ballad version of "Tears of a Clown")
Danny: Mercy, Mercy Me
Kris: Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)
Lil: You Keep Me Hangin' On
Matt: Superstition
Megan: My Guy (Shira's impersonation is dead on!)
Scott: Three Times a Lady
Michael: I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)
Adam: Papa Was a Rollin' Stone ("and when he died!" a la Axl Rose = "very current?!")
I realllly would like to hear Megan sing the theme song from Mr. Belvedere....
I appreciate the note about wearing white before Memorial Day- a definite no-no!
AI is REALLY testing my patience with these terrible back-to-back theme weeks. Thank God for DVR and the fast forward button.
How come someone didn't tell me that my pants were pink and too tight?
So far, I thought Matt had pitch problems all over "Let's Get it On" (the first verse was a disaster and he doesn't have the range), Kris was boring, and Scott had the best performance of his in weeks.
Adam is the bomb
matt - let's definitely get it on. seriously.
kris - hey fonzie called and said, stop singing out of the side of your mouth.
scott - can anyone say camel balls??
meghan - you are still a hottie. wrong song.
anoop dog - clean the sweat off your upper lip, dog.
michael - the oil rigs are calling. they want you to stop singing. forever.
lil - were you hiding a megaphone in that flappy dress?
adam - make sure you thank scott letting you borrow his tights to hit the high notes.
danny - if we didn't have to look at his glasses or watch him dance, this guy wouldn't be half bad.
allison - i'm gonna go shower now because when 16 year olds try to act sexy it makes me feel dirty.
Oh my gosh...Adam Lambert had the most amazing performance I have seen on Idol in years. I was so shocked and amazed at just how perfect his performance was! I had to watch it four times. He is so talented! He's my American Idol!!
Why was Kris dressed like a extra in Hogan's Heroes? My favorite all time American Idol momement was when Smokey Robinson stood up for Adam at the end of Tracks of My Tears. I can be somewhat cynical about this whole process at times, but Adam's performance, and Smokey's reaction to it, brough tears to my eyes.
Suzy, I could not agree more! I actually had tears in my eyes after Adam's performance. When Smokey stood up for Adam, I was thrilled and think it is probably the most genuine reaction I've seen on the show. So refreshing. It was a spectacular moment.
Anybody with me that Adam's performance was not all that?
I was very impressed with Matt & Kris at the top of the show, and I thought my faves Danny & Allison closed solidly. But the rest wasn't so great, including Lil screaming Heat Wave :( Anoop was passable, as was (sadly) Michael --and Adam.
But I was certainly pleased with how (expectedly) terrible Megan & Scott sounded ;-)
i agree with you derek! i am SO over adam lambert. i truly think he is in the wrong competition.
Maybe in past years Megan would have been about average; but, this year she really stands out as being embarrassingly bad compared to the rest of the bunch. I feel the urge to avert my eyes, and ears, when she is "performing." I can't believe that people will be paying good money to see her on tour. Is there someone I can pay to stop Paula from making jokes about what is under her skirt? That image gave me nightmares.
THANK YOU, Shelly G! I mean, just because he didn't scream, for once, he hardly deserved a standing o --for being able to sing in falsetta (*mostly* in tune).
Apparently Paula has a young child under her skirt, Suzy, and she ripped the crayons and coloring books from his hands...
The good news is that I'm thinking this might be the transitional year, perhaps unbeknownst to Paula, who will be replaced by Kara.
If VFTW has their way, Megan will be with us for at least another torturous but hot (nice legs, too!) week. As long as that means Scott gets the boot...
Why are they lip synching the group performances?
Help! My DVR cut-off right after Simon said, "OK, I'm going to make a decision." What happened?
Emily, our DVR did the same! I Googled and found that, thankfully, Sarver's daughter should be seeing a whole lot more of him now.
Why was Matt in the bottom 3 (2)? Is he that ugly? Shira thought he'd better get that thing removed from his forehead... But we both thought his performance was very good --although I thought he should have stayed at the piano longer.
