American Idol has been evolving rapidly in this 8th season. Usually, viewers were treated two songs from the contestants when it is down to 5 (or in this case 4) however adding additional judge (Kara) made the critiques took longer time and it made 8 performances difficult to squeeze within one hour. Interesting... what they did was to tweak the format again and came up with “duets”. So, 4 performances plus 2 duets which was first time in American Idol hopefully will solve the time constraint dilemma. I don’t know if it is acceptable for the viewers or it is beneficial for the contestants though.
Singing Styx's Renegade, the first pair was cool Kris and his partner Danny who was wearing his trademark glasses which was odd in rock week by the way. Vocally, both of them were pitchy in their solos but together they harmonized very well. But Danny had a disgusting propensity to pullout from the pair and sang by himself in full volume doing runs and riff in the end of the song. That left poor Kris just watching him and acting a little bit surprised or pissed I guess. Judge Simon comments about Danny being the better singer doesn’t make Kris felt better also.
Meanwhile, if there is a term for a perfect marriage in duets, Adam and Allison would be the right pair suited for that. Both have rockers written all over them from their hair (Allison said that Adam hooked her up with his hairstylist and that explained why they looked so well blended), their mannerism and swagger, their outfits (Adam’s tight pants anyone?), and of course their solid rock vocals. Their rendition of Slow Ride was done in team effort and was one of my favorite performances ever in American Idol and the hug was so cute. Adam said Allison is like his little sister, sweet.
