Kris & Danny singing their duet last night

American Idol Viewer's Guide - Rock n' Roll!

THE GOLDEN FOUR!



As we move in to the top four this week. Let us not forget the original top four American Idols from the 80’s, The Golden Girls.

We hope that Adam is taking a break from practicing whatever Axel Rose number he is obsessing over, and does a memorial cabaret review for Bea Arthur as good ol’ Maude himself. Adam would make the perfect Dorothy and look amazing in the long jacket and shoulder pads.




Danny, as the safe and reliable Sophia with the classic trademark glasses.



Kris, as the oversexed and hot-to-trot Blanche. Although Kris is happily married and a committed relationship, Idol fans do secretly wish he would dump the young wife and become available to the masses.



AND… Allison as the adorable and impressionable Rose. The misunderstood big mouth with the heart of gold.



Just like in the 80’s when that dynamic quartet got us through acid wash jeans and the Reagan years, Our idols, will give us a couple hours break from Swine Flu and Craigslist Killers.

We love you Idol...

Fred Astaire & the original performance of "The Way You Look Tonight". This performance won an Oscar for best original song. People always forget the built-in visual joke from the film that goes with the song.

American Idol Viewer's Guide - Rat Pack!

In a moment of utter confusion, Danny sings "Don't You (Forget About Me)", Adam sings "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)", and Matt sings "If You Leave" while Allison sings "Chicago" and Kris sings "Birth of the Blues".

The night would be complete if the 5 finalists did this and Seacrest stood in as Carson.



You know those cigars you’ve been saving for a special occasion? Well light ‘em up, baby. It’s Rat Pack Standards week on AI and we’re down to the top 5! Just what the kids want, right? Songs by a bunch of dead guys... and we’re not talking Tupac and Biggie here. But all that aside, I think this week has the potential to seriously kick ass. With Lil and Noop Dog gone, American Idol voters have paved the way for a night of solid performances. The competition is stiff at this point, so let’s take a moment to talk about what these folks need to do to take it all the way.

Allison: Assuming that the majority of AI voters are either (a) female tweens, (b) a cappella singers and/or theater majors, and (c) geriatrics, Allison doesn’t stand a chance. Sure, she can sing the song book as they say, but she’s got that crazy red hair and those outfits. It doesn’t bode well.

Matt: Has anyone else noticed that mole on his forehead? That’s got to go if he’s going to even make it to next week. But hey, it worked out for Enrique Iglesias, so you never know.

Adam: Adam needs to continue being Adam because the judges love him. If he went over the top and sang something like “My Way,” I’d be all over it… as would America.

Danny: Danny needs to pray that Adam screws up.

Kris: Kris needs a divorce (to appeal to that female tween crowd). Oh, and have you noticed how he sings out of the side of his mouth like Mr. Ed? That’s got to stop too.

Want to know what’s going to take this week into the stratosphere of kick assness? Taylor Hicks. That’s right, the Soul Patrol himself will be performing his single “The Ford Commercial”… I mean, “Seven Mile Breakdown.” Surely you’ve heard it.

If only Allsion, Matt, Adam, Danny, and Kris took the stage for an hour, cracked inappropriate racist jokes while pretending to be drunk, and sang for about 5% of the show. I mean, the only song you get out of this 10 minute clip is a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday".
