Tema untuk Top 5 kali ini adalah Rat-Pack Standard.
'The Theme for this week is the Rat Pack songs. For you youngsters out there, that means songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, and Sammy Davis, Jr. -adamlambertinnersite.blogspot.com-'

Kebayang dunk gimana lagu2 yang dibawakan.....lagu2 jadul penuh dengan melodi indah iringan orkestra....my kinda song....
Kali ini mentornya adalah Jamie Foxx.

Let the swing begin.....
Kris Allen - The Way You Look Tonight
Simon : I thought it was a little bit wet.
Paula : That performance was near impeccable.
Randy : I personally think this is your best performance to date.
Kara : You are truly a dark horse in this competition.
Simon simon....apa coba maksudnya "a little bit wet"....pas ditanya Ryan, jawabnya "not dry", weleh weleh.... Well...Kris lagi2 tampil baik, suara maupun his look......wow...biasanya tampil kasual, kali ini dia tampil rapi banget pake setelan jas.

Allison Iraheta - Someone To Watch Over Me
Simon : I thought it was a great performance.
Paula : What you delivered tonight had an innocent sensibility.
Randy : That was the bomb and you did it in your own style and I loved it.
Kara : You're not a one trick pony. You're not just a rocker.

Danny Gokey - Come Rain Or Come Shine
Simon : What you had tonight was a swagger and a confidence.
Paula : Stellar!
Randy : You can have an album of songs like that and win.
Kara : That was the most creative you've ever been with the melody.

Matt Giraud - My Funny Valentine
Simon : I thought you were absolutely brilliant.
Paula : I think you did an excellent job tonight.
Randy : Some of the runs came together and landed right.
Kara : appreciate the runs you put into the song.

Adam Lambert - Feeling Good
Simon : You want to win, you want to prove a point, and you want to entertain.
Paula : You make me feel better than good.
Randy : You're in the zone consistently, dude.
Kara : You're shocking in a good way.

Overall, Top 5 ini memang bagus2...paling bagus dari Top 5 season sebelumnya jadi kalo disuruh milih pasti susah. Karena ini berdasarkan sms / call yang masuk, well....dan yang mendapat suara paling sedikit adalah Matt, my favorite (tinggal Kris nehhh)......
Next week is Rock week.

GIGGS' 800th for UNITED

Semifinal UEFA Champions League antara MU vs Arsenal 29 April 2009 menjadi penampilan Ryan Giggs yang ke 800. Giggs masuk menggantikan Anderson di menit ke 70. Sempat lepas dari kawalan bek2 arsenal dan mencetak gol, tapi dianulir karena menurut penjaga garis terjadi offside (harusnya gak tuhhh......wasit dan penjaga garisnya banyak melakukan kesalahan).... O ya...baru2 ini Giggs mendapat gelar PFA Player of The Year 2008 / 2009.
ket gambar : Giggs waktu kecil....lucu ya




^masa remaja













<---- menerima gelar OBE dari Ratu Elizabeth II di th 2007
















<--- setelah menerima Piala EPLnya yang ke 9 (itung botolnya tuh) - th 2007















<--- Piala EPL nya yang ke 10.....th 2008


Belum ada pemain EPL yang bisa merasakan juara 10x seperti Giggsy.
Mudah2an tahun ini dia meraih pialanya yang ke 11.






tambahan :


<-------- wow...........it's his 11th EPL tittle.......

Happy Birthday JOHN O'SHEA - 30 April 1981

Arguably United’s most versatile player, John O'Shea - who has made over 300 appearances - has played everywhere during his time at Old Trafford. But wherever he plays, United’s no.22 is happy to contribute to the team

JOS neh ganti2 posisinya, left wing ato di midfield tapi akhir2 ini dia lebih sering di right wing karena gary, wes dan rafael yang the real right wing lagi cedera. JOS bahkan permah jadi kiper menggantikan VDS yang cedera (broken nose) dan MU sudah menggunakan pemain pengganti sebanyak 3 kali (dalam 1 pertandingan diperbolehkan maksimal 3x pergantian pemain). Dia berhasil menghalau bola dari Robbie Keane, JOS' national teammate. Langsung deh supporter MU di white hart lane nge chant "Ireland's number one" buat JOS.

JOS pencetak gol ke gawang arsenal di semifinal UCL tgl 29 April 2009....what a nice birthday present from you to ManUtd fans....thank you...

GBK I'm Coming..........

Uang Saku???? nahhhhhhhh...........ada yang mo nambahin???

Semoga gak ada halangan, meski gosip menerpa...."thanks to bapak menteri yang kekeh pengen mindahin venue ke balikpapan".....weleh weleh.....
Alasannya klasik......takut kalo ada kerusuhan setelah PilPres.....kapan Indonesia bisa maju???

Ya Allah.....Ijinkan MU datang dan main di GBK...
Ijinkan aku ketemu brothers & sisters dari forum....
Semoga Kau mendengar doaku dan doa jutaan fans MU di Indonesia.....
Amin3x ya Robbal alamin......

These three powerful women are always there to support one another and navigate the crazy, romantic, and sometimes scary world that is New York City.

ket gambar : Victory Ford, Wendy Healy, Nico Reily

Lipstick Jungle hampir mirip dengan serial Sex and The City. Bedanya di Lipstick Jungle adegan sex tidak terlalu diekspose, lebih ke kehidupan profesional dan personal antara 3 sahabat tersebut.


Para pemain :

Brooke Shield - Wendy Healy
Seorang movie executive yang berusaha keras untuk menyeimbangkan antara karir dan rumah tangga. Punya 2 anak dari Shane Healy, musisi yang bekerja di rumah sambil menjaga kedua anaknya. Di saat Wendy dipecat dari Parador, ganti karir Shane yang menanjak.

Kim Raver - Nico Reily

Lindsay Price - Victory Ford
Designer yang ditaksir oleh seorang konglomerat, Joe Bennet, membeli bisnisnya supaya bisa dekat dengan Victory. Berhubungan, putus, pacaran ama Rodrigo, dan akhirnya kembali ke Joe Bennet.

American Idol Season 8 - Say Goodbye To....

Minggu lalu "judges save" sudah diberikan pada Matt. Berarti minggu ini ada 2 orang yang harus pulang.
Tema kali ini DISCO......

Lil Rounds - I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan
The judges were relentless with their criticism and Kara even said that Lil has been every woman but herself. In another bold move, Lil disagreed with the entire panel of judges
Gak tau kenapa, Lil sampai minggu ini masih belum bisa menunjukkan jati dirinya. Penampilannya lebih ke "good karaoke" dibanding dengan kontestan lain.

Kris Allen - She Works Hard for the Money by Donna Summer
Ryan interviewed Kris Allen before his performance of Donna Summer's "She Works Hard for the Money." Kris said this song is meaningful because "it's about a woman, who, works really hard, for the money." Fortunately, Kris' risky acoustic performance was better than his definition of the song, and the judges thought the risk paid off.
Kebalikan dari Lil, penampilan Kris makin solid dengan aransemen lagu yang baru. Pantas saja Simon selalu memujinya.

Danny Gokey - September by Wind & Fire
Kara said Danny singing disco is like Simon wearing plaid - it's unnatural. The judges agreed that his vocals were great, but Simon called the performance "clumsy." Perhaps the extra facial scruff was throwing Danny off balance.
Agree with the judges...vocalnya mantapssss.......

Allison Iraheta - Hot Stuff by Donna Summer
The judges weren't fond of the arrangement, but Simon called her performance "brilliant."

Adam Lambert - If I Can't Have You by Yvonne Elliman
Kara said he looked like a cross between Saturday Night Fever and Clark Kent. Ryan told Adam that he melted a gushing Paula "into a pool of Abdul."
tampil tanpa dandanan ala Adam dan nyanyinya slow and so emotional.....(perasaan temanya disco deh)

Matt Giraud - Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees
Simon said I didn't hear any originality. Paula summed it up best when she said Matt sings like she bowls and "sometimes it's gutters and sometimes it's strikes. This was a strike!"
Mentang2 abis diselamatkan judges, langsung pilih lagu Stayin' alive. Agree with Simon, kayak karaoke.

Anoop Desai - Dim All The Lights by Donna Summer
Kara thought it was one of Anoop's best, Simon thought it was one of Anoop's worst, and I thought there was no need to dim all the lights when you have that 5 o'clock shadow.

Dance & Shout! It was time to "Shake Your Body Down to the Ground" with a vibrant disco group number that was choreographed by Paula Abdul! Though the Idols said Paula worked them out to the extreme, they had a wonderful time learning the dance moves and wearing disco garb.
Di elimination day, seperti biasa, di awal acara para kontestan nyanyi bareng, untuk episode ini, ada latihan khusus koreo dari Paula Abdul......hasilnya...not bad, tapi Kris lucu dancenya.
Lil dan Anoop yang harus pulang.....

Happy Birthday ZORAN TOSIC - 28 April 1987

Si ganteng dari Serbia ini baru gabung 2 januari 2009 dan debutnya pada kompetisi FA cup tgl 24 Jan 2009 lawan Spurs.

A winger who hugs the touchline and takes defenders on, he possesses silky dribbling skills and a strong left-foot shot. Renowned for his mastery in dead-ball situations, Tosic is a real threat from set-pieces, whether firing goalwards or delivering pin-point crosses.

Fans United sejak kecil, suka nempel poster pemain MU di kamarnya, salah satunya poster Ryan Giggs...dan siapa tau Zoran adalah pengganti Ryan saat dia gantung sepatu (zoran emang diplot bakal gantiin posisi Ryan)....what a dream comes true....

Season 2008 - 2009 - A GREAT COMEBACK

Sabtu, 25 april 2009 MU vs Tottenham

Starting line up : Edwin van der Sar ; Rafael ; Rio Ferdinand ; Nemanja Vidic ; Patrice Evra ; Nani ; Michael Carrick ; Cristiano Ronaldo ; Wayne Rooney ; Dimitar Berbatov

SUBSTITUTES :
Carlos Tevez (for Nani, 46) ; Paul Scholes (for Fletcher, 60) ; John O'Shea (for Rafael, 70)

Lanjutan dari jadwal super padat, Manchester United harus menjamu Tottenham Hotspur yang saat ini dilatih oleh Harry Redknapp. Perlu diketahui, tim2 yang dilatih oleh Mr.Redknapp selalu berat dihadapi. Ditambah juga Liverpool dan Chelsea telah bermain lebih dulu dan sama2 menang. Klasemen sementara, Liverpool di puncak karena mempunyai gol difference yang lebih banyak dibanding MU.

Di babak pertama cukup banyak peluang, sayang belum menghasilkan gol. Justru Tottenham yang memberi kejutan dengan gol dari Darrent Bent yang menerima crossing dari Corluka yang gagal dihalau oleh duo tower Rio & Vida. Belum ilang shocknya, Luca Modric menambah gol setelah menerima crossing dari Aaron Lennon, gara2 Rafael salah posisi neh....Halftime MU 0 - 2 Spurs.

Di awal babak kedua, Nani yang bermain di bawah formnya diganti dengan Carlos Tevez. Wah, lumayan neh, dengan powernya sruduk sana sruduk sini (eh tapi gak pelanggaran lho), permainan MU lebih berkembang. Di menit ke 55an Michael Carrick berhasil menusuk ke pertahanan Spurs sampai akhirnya Gomes harus menahan, pelanggaran berbuah penalti buat MU. Eksekutor, Cristiano Ronaldo. MU 1 - 2 Spurs.

Kemudian Paul Scholes masuk menggantikan Darren Fletcher, semakin baguslah permainan MU. Diawali passing satu dua antara Dimitar Berbatov dengan Carlos Tevez, terciptalah gol ke 2 dari kaki Wayne Rooney. Menit ke 67, MU 2 - 2 Spurs.

Satu menit kemudian, passing dari Patrice Evra diterima oleh Wayne Rooney dan bola diarahkan ke gawang, disambut oleh Cristiano Ronaldo, a diving header yang ciamik. Menit ke 68, MU 3 - 2 Spurs. Setelah gol ini, serentak Old Trafford rame dengan chant "Are You Watching Merseyside?"

Lagi2 permainan cantik ditunjukkan oleh Dimitar Berbatov, oper ke Ronaldo, trus crossing ke Wayne Rooney, kontrol dan tendang...kena corluka....tapi bola gak bisa ditahan dan gol ke 4 buat MU di menit ke 71.

Apakah drama itu sudah berakhir??? jawabnya tidak, ada tambahan gol dari Dimitar Berbatov. Mantan pemain Spurs ini menjebol gawang Gomes. Tak ada selebrasi dari Berba, entah karena sudah gol ke 5 ato karena gol ke mantan klub. Skor akhir MU 5 - 2 Spurs.

What a comeback. Kejadian ini pernah terjadi di th 2001, lawan Spurs juga, MU sudah tertinggal 3 - 0 dan akhirnya bisa menang 5 - 3 di White Hart Lane, kandang Spurs.

Well....hanya selang 2,5 jam puncak klasemen yang sebelumnya direbut Liverpool, ditempati oleh MU kembali.

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.....

Season 2008 - 2009 (part 2) - Say Goodbye to FA Cup

Whuahhhhhhhhh..............Semifinal FA semalam lawan Everton........super surprise with the starting line up :
- Ben Foster yang jaga gawang
- Si kembar Da Silva, Rafael di right back dan Fabio di left back
- The twin tower Rio and Vida di centre back
- Anderson and Gibson di central midfield
- Ji-Sung di left wing, Welbeck di right wing
- Tevez and Kiko di depan
Hanya Anderson, Rio dan Vida yang tersisa dari starting line up di Dragao. Sedangkan Everton full-team minus Arteta yang lagi cedera.

Berikut pernyataan Sir Alex dari www.manutd.com
"We had two teams in mind after Wednesday’s win in Portugal, with one leaving out two or three players but having watched the game yesterday (Chelsea's semi-final versus Arsenal), I thought the pitch looked heavy and dead," Sir Alex told MUTV.

"What I couldn’t afford was extra-time with my strongest team, with our programme coming up. We’ve got games on Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday lunch-time (at Middlesbrough) and then Tuesday. I had to make a change some time.

"Knowing the young players' temperament, their quality and their energy, I thought it was the right thing to do. Obviously I’m going to have some critics but I think the fans know this club is built on young players getting an opportunity.

"We wanted to give them an opportunity today. I know that in whatever games we’ve got in the run-in, we can play the likes of Macheda, Welbeck and Rafael without any question at all."

Di menit2 awal MU kesulitan menguasai bola tapi lama lama makin bagus. Overall pertandingan yang bagus buat youngster meski hasilnya seri lanjut perpanjangan waktu dan kalah di adu penalti......( duhhh Berba rekkk....penaltinya jelek banget dan digagalkan Tim Howard).

Next....sudah banyak pertandingan menanti. Yap, padatnya jadwal yang membuat Sir Alex banyak menurunkan the youngster.

Jadwal selanjutnya....22/4 Portsmouth - 25/4 Tottenham (EPL) - 29//4 Arsenal (UCL) - 2/5 Boro (EPL) - 5/5 Arsenal - (UCL)

A New Hero - Federico "Kiko" Macheda

Siapa sih kiko, kok udah disebut-sebut a new hero....
Kiko adalah pemain muda MU dari Italia, lahir tanggal 22 August 1991, masih 17 tahun. Gabung di academy MU mulai September 2007 dan langsung mencetak gol di debutnya lawan Barnsley 15 September 2007. Di tahun pertamanya itu dia menjadi top scorer dengan 12 gol dalam 21kali main. Lalu debutnya di tim reserves, masuk menggantikan Gerard Pique pada saat lawan Liverpool.

Kiko menandatangani kontrak profesionalnya bersamaan dengan ulang tahunnya ke 17. Di season ini, kiko mencetak hattrick pertamanya melawan newcastle united di tim reserves MU tgl 30 Maret 2009. Rewardnya...dia terpilih masuk ke first tim melawan Aston Villa tgl 5 April 2009. Saat itu MU ketinggalan 2 - 1, kiko masuk di menit 60an menggantikan Nani. Di menit ke 80 Ronaldo berhasil menyamakan kedudukan. Di injury time, Kiko dengan gol indahnya membawa MU menang....wow....what a debut....

Kiko terpilih lagi jadi cadangan di perempat final leg pertama melawan Porto tapi dia tidak dimainkan. Lalu pada lanjutan EPL lawan Sunderland, kiko masuk menggantikan Berba, baru main 46detik, dia udah nyetak gol, tendangan keras Michael Carrick kena kaki Kiko dan goooolllllll.......

Pantes banget kalo dia disebut new hero yaaa....Dengan semua pemberitaan pers, dipuja2 fans, Sir Alex ingin menjaga Kiko supaya "tetap menginjak tanah", supaya kiko gak "silau". Pasti gak hanya Sir Alex yang ingin menjaga tapi keluarga dan teammates pasti akan membantu. Gak sabar nunggu dia jadi starter.

American Idol Season 8 - A New History......

The Top 7 contestants took the stage to sing "Music From The Movies." Mentor Quentin Tarantino directed the idols this week.Ryan explained that only two judges will critique each performer.

Allison Iraheta - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith from Armageddon
Her performance was far from apocalyptic, as Simon said he could see her in the finals.

Anoop Desai - Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Not only did Anoop rough it up, he blew away the judges. Anoop also admitted there isn't a special someone in his life. Line-up, ladies!!!

Adam Lambert - Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf from Easy Rider
Adam showed his wild side with some funky dance moves and unbelievable vocal range. The always sarcastic Simon joked that Adam needs to learn to express himself.

Matt Giraud - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman by Bryan Adams from Don Juan DeMarco
Matt Giraud said he'll be singing "one of the most beautifully written songs I ever heard." Nope, it's not The Simpson's theme song. Randy and Kara agreed that Matt did a little too much with the song which took away from the performance.

Danny Gokey - Endless Love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross from Endless Love
Quentin Tarantino told Danny Gokey to practice singing with his hands in his pockets to allow him to express himself with his face instead of his hands. When Danny performed, he was relating to the song so emotionally he couldn't help but use his hands.

Kris Allen - Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová from Once
Letting the sensitive side of his vocals shine through, Kris garnered mixed reviews. Randy thought it was pitchy, while Kara thought it was one of his best.

Lil Rounds - The Rose by Bette Midler from The Rose
Quentin wanted Lil to commit equally to all parts of the song, but her performance wasn't enough to win over Simon, who thought she got it completely wrong. Lil wasn't afraid to defend her song choice and ended movie theme week with a bang.

Anoop Desai found himself in the bottom again and said he was a bit discouraged that he's been performing well but America isn't voting. This is also surprising since Anoop admitted there wasn't a special someone in his life after his performance. His single fans will surely be calling in next week!
Kris Allen was met with mixed reviews on his performance of "Falling Slowly" and Simon couldn't help but say that Kris was "brilliant" despite what Randy said. Lil Rounds stood up with Kris Allen to receive her results and found out that America agreed with Simon, Kris was safe and Lil joined Anoop in the bottom.
The third seat in the bottom 3 was reserved for either Matt Giraud or Danny Gokey. If Matt was given a do-over he would have sang the song without all of the runs and riffs. Danny stood by his performance and all of the judges but Simon were pleased. Ryan revealed that Matt was in the bottom and Danny remains in the competition another week.
Anoop Desai was sent back to safety and it was between Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud for elimination. Matt had the fewest number of votes and must sing for one of three more shots at redemption with the judges' "save."
American Idol history was made! The judges used their one time "save" on Matt Giraud. Matt was shocked and teary eyed upon hearing this news. He tried to run to the side of the stage but Ryan caught him before he could hide his tears.
Simon told the idols to enjoy the celebration while it lasts because next week is "Disco Week" and two contestants will be leaving the show.

American Idol Season 8 - Say Goodbye To....

The Top 8 contestants took the stage to sing songs from the year they were born.

Danny Gokey - Stand By Me by Mickey Gilley
As the oldest contestant of the season, Danny Gokey had the honor of kicking the show off.
Simon : Overall it was great.
Paula : You raised the bar and everyone has to run to catch up.
Randy : Loved the vocals!
Kara : You killed it!


Kris Allen - All She Wants To Do Is Dance by Don Henley
As a child, Kris Allen aspired to be a taxi driver, until he stumbled upon his niche in music.
Randy : It was an indulgent arrangement.
Paula : You are one of the most likable contestants we've ever had.
Kara : I'm excited you picked up the tempo.
Simon : (I'm hot) but it's not about that.

Lil Rounds - What's Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner
In her pre-performance video, Lil Rounds' mom confirmed that Lil's name was given to her at birth and is not a stage name.
Kara : We still haven't seen you leap from a singer to an artist.
Randy : You're mad talented.
Simon : It's literally like we have lost you.
Paula : You look very, very hot tonight.

Anoop Desai - True Colors by Cyndi Lauper
Still recovering from the excitement of his alma mater's basketball victory.....
Paula : You showed your true colors, just like a rainbow
Kara : You controlled the song and didn't let it control you.
Randy : You showed you can actually sing.
Simon : You're like a yo-yo the way you go down and up.

Scott MacIntyre - The Search Is Over by Survivor
Scott MacIntyre took a risk when he stepped away from the piano this week to play Survivor's "The Search Is Over" on guitar. Although the judges didn't think the guitar worked with the song, Scott was excited to show his "punk side."

Allison Iraheta - I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt
Simon : It was really good.
Paula : You have a gift you can't put a price tag on!
Randy: There's a girl from Season 1 you really remind me of.
Kara : Let's go make a record!

Matt Giraud - Part-Time Lover by Stevie Wonder
Simon : A million times better than last week.
Paula : Two words: standing 'o'.
Randy : Vocally, I thought it was the best of the night.
Kara : Incredible on every level.

Adam Lambert - Mad World by Tears For Fears
Simon summed up the moving performance by saying "Words aren't necessary, but I'm going to give you a standing ovation." It's true - Simon stood up and applauded with the other judges.


On performance night the idols revealed what year they were born. Always eager to make Simon uncomfortable, Ryan kicked off the results show with a clip of Frankie Avalon from 1959. The stage doors parted and out came Frankie to sing for Simon. Though Simon appreciated Frankie's appearance, he adamantly denied he was born then.

American Idol was born in 2002, making it even younger than Allison Iraheta. The contestants honored birth year theme week with a performance of Kylie Minogue's 2002 hit, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head."

With over 30 million votes counted last night, only 30,000 separated Anoop and Scott. Ultimately, it was Scott who received the fewest votes and Anoop embraced him.
With only his voice as an instrument, Scott wowed the judges with "The Search Is Over." The four judges debated Scott's fate for a while before a torn-up Simon admitted that the judges are split down the middle. Due to the save requirement of needing the decision to be unanimous, the judges sent Scott home.

Happy Birthday ANDERSON - 13 April 1988

An-der-son, son, son
He's better than Kleberson
Ander-son, son, son,
He's a midfield magician,
To the left, to the right
to the samba beat tonight
He is class, with a brass
And he shits on Fabregas!

Is he better than Kleberson??? i think so...

American Idol Season 8 - Say Goodbye To....

whuahhhh....telat banget postingnya.....disaat American Idol udah eliminasi dari Top 9 jadi Top 8, aku baru posting u/ Top 10. Yuk kita mulai.... Tema Top 10 kali ini adalah MOTOWN............

Motown Records is a record label originally based in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. on January 12, 1959 as Tamla Records, the company was incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau derived from the words motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit. --wikipedia--

Jadi motown tuh nama perusahaan recording dari detroit kependekan dari motor dan town. recording company pertama yang dimiliki oleh seorang afro american. Artis2 seperti Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & The Supremes, dan The Jackson 5 adalah sebagian kecil artis2 motown....bisa bayangin sendiri kan udah berapa lagu2 top yg dihasilkan artis2 tsb.

Di sesi kali ini, para finalis ditemani oleh Smokey Robinson, lead singer nya The Miracles.

Matt Giraud - Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
The judges began calling him a "frontrunner," and Kara even joked that the ladies will surely love that performance!
Matt tampil duluan nehhh....dia main piano di awal lagu....mantaps banget...lagu yg dibawakan bener2 genre yg tepat buat dia, begitu kata Simon dan menurut Smokey pun Marvin Gaye akan suka ama versi Matt....duh...semakin cinta ama Matt....

Kris Allen - How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by James Taylor
The judges are stunned by his consistently great performances. Simon did have a piece of advice for Kris, however. He said that he needs to pick up some of the "swagger" and confidence that the other hopefuls seem to have.
Di lagu ini, kris sambil main gitar, "how sweet it is" ada juga yg versi Michael Buble tapi aku lebih suka versi Kris....wah co2 idol ku memang keren2....kalo Matt kadang2 gak konsisten, kalo Kris makin baik....padahal di awal2 aku agak meragukan Kris lhoo...

Scott MacIntyre - You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes
Scott MacIntyre performed "You Can't Hurry Love" at the grand piano, despite Paula's concern the week before that he might be using it as a crutch. She thought the backup singers helped make it fresh, but the other judges are looking for something more. Simon said that he still hasn't chosen the right song.
Yap...Scott penampilannya kurang greget...but he's a good singer and piano player.

Megan Joy - For Once In My Life by Stevie Wonder
the judges weren't fond of the song choice for her vocals. The bright side? They all thought she looked amazing, and Paula told her, "Your stunning beauty just takes my breath away."
Bagiku, For Once in My Life yg paling keren adalah versinya my one and only...Michael Buble. Ternyata lagu ini buanyak banget versinya....The Temptations, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, bahkan Dean Martin pernah merekam lagu ini.

Anoop Desai - Ooo Baby Baby by The Miracles
The judges continue to be impressed by his vocals. However, the general consensus is they'd like to see him push it a bit more. Randy told him he likes to hear him "croon and swoon," but next week "Get the party on!"
Anoop tampil smooth banget..........nah ini lagu yg pas, sang mentor Smokey Robinson kan penyanyi aslinya.

Michael Sarver - Ain't Too Proud To Beg by The Temptations
Unfortunately, the judges thought the song seemed to dominate him instead of the other way around.
Duuhhh....michael ini suaranya bagus tp keseringan salah pilih lagu...dan dia harus OUT.

Lil Rounds - (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave by Martha and the Vandellas
Although Simon called her performance an "authentic tribute to Motown," the judges thought the song seemed a bit rushed.
Lil bener2 terharu waktu para finalis diajak ke Hitsville building nya Motown

Adam Lambert - Tracks Of My Tears by The Miracles
The judges were blown away by his tender rendition as was Smokey Robinson, who gave him a standing ovation. Simon called it "the best performance of the night."
Wahhhh...Adam bener2 mengejutkan, dia yg biasanya gothic look, malam itu rapi jali...rambutnya rapi, pake jas keren....classic cool

Danny Gokey - Get Ready by The Temptations
The judges have no complaints about his vocals. The performance, however, wasn't one of their favorites. As Kara said, "I thought it was good, but not great, but I'm still a huge Danny fan." Simon gave him a bit of a hard time, calling it "clumsy and amateurish!"
hmmm...aku gak inget penampilannya Danny...hihihi...udah lama banget berlalu.....but he really has a beautiful voice.

Allison Iraheta - Papa Was A Rolling Stone by The Temptations
Kara even told her that she sounds like she's been singing for 400 years! But Randy said it best in his own way by exclaiming "That was blazing hot!"
Nah...ce rocker ini stabil penampilannya tp don't know why sering banget di bottom 3, yah meski akhirnya dia tetep safe...she doesn't deserves the bottom three. You go girl....

O ya...bintang tamunya di acara eliminasinya mantaps abissssssss............ada duet Smokey Robinson dan Joss Stone.........ada juga Stevie Wonder yg medley lagu2 seperti My Cherie Amour....Overjoyed....duhhhhh kereeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Yap...Michael Sarver meski harus OUT, tapi dia tetep ikut konser Top 10, but i believe he won't forget that night.

American Idol Season 8 - Say Goodbye To....

On the 4th elimination round.....we say goodbye to.....................Megan Joy The theme was The Popular Downloads....tema yang ditunggu2 oleh para peserta. yuk kita liat lagu2 apa aja yang dinyanyikan.....

Anoop Desai - Caught Up by Usher
Although he brought back the enthusiasm the judges love and his vocals were spot on, something just didn't feel right in the judges' eyes. Paula told him he needs to work on his stage presence, and Simon cut to the quick by telling him it was a "complete and utter mess" and a "wanna be" performance.

Megan Joy - Turn The Lights Down Low by Bob Marley
The judges were pretty harsh about what they thought was a boring performance. Channeling his "inner Simon," Randy told Megan it was "like watching paint dry!"
Danny Gokey - What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts
Kara said that he moved everyone in the room emotionally, and Paula told him that this is where he thrives. Randy wants to see his "swagger" return next week, however, but Simon wants Danny to leave his swagger at home!

Allison Iraheta - Don't Speak by No Doubt
While the judges continue to think she's the real deal, her wacky outfit and equally nutty hair do was a distraction in their eyes. As Kara explained, she doesn't need to wear crazy clothes, as her rock persona comes through no matter what. Of course, Simon was a bit more brutal, telling her it was like something from The Addams Family.

Scott MacIntyre - Just The Way You Are by Billy Joel
The judges were very impressed. As Randy said, "One of the best of the night, Dude."
Tanpa diiringi Ricky Manor and the band, scott hanya tampil dengan pianonya....hasilnya....his best performance since week one.

Matt Giraud - You Found Me by The Fray
The judges did not think he seemed comfortable, and ultimately missed the soulful side of him that they love.

Lil Rounds - I Surrender by Celine Dion
Although they are continually blown away by what Kara calls "effortless" vocals, Simon told her that it felt like this was her singing to stay in the competition with a "safe" song. Ouch, Simon!

Adam Lambert - Play That Funky Music
The judges continue to be astounded by his ability to make everything he sings unique. Kara said she can't wait to get to the show each week to see what he's going to do next, and Paula put him in the same category as Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler!

Kris Allen - Ain't No Sunshine
The judges thought it was his best so far, and Randy said he's "in the zone right now." Paula told him it could be his first cut off his album, and Kara declared "That is artistry!"

my fave in this week.....Kris Allen......mudah2an ntar ada mp3 nya...

Happy Birthday BEN FOSTER - 03 April 1983

Happy belated birthday Benji....
Kiper ke 3 UNITED ini juga kiper timnas Inggris the three lions.
Meski jarang dipasang karena kiper utama UNITED Edwin Van Der Sar yang top banget, untuk season ini benji lebih sering jadi pilihan kedua meski ada Tomasz Kuszczak, kiper kedua yg sebenarnya.
Prestasi tertingginya, di final Carling Cup antara MU vs Spurs, benji berhasil menahan penalti dari Jamie O'hara di adu penalti.
Semoga benji jadi kiper utama MU setelah VDS pensiun.
All the best to you, benji................
