Ok, so in episode 23 of season 8 “American Idol” they went with “Motown” as the theme which was much more entertaining than country week. Well, for me it was anyways because I can’t stand country or rock genre’s. Very rarely do I like anything that comes out of that whole mix. I think the best performers for Motown night were Matt Giraud with “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gay,Anoop Dawg with “Baby,Baby” Desai,Lil Rounds “Heat Wave” song,Danny Gokey “Get Ready” and last but definitely not least, Adam Lambert with Smokey Robinson’s “Tracks Of My Tears”.He did a freakin awesome job with that song. He is really diverse. I haven’t watched “Idol” much this season,but have caught this guy a few times,and he is one to watch. Read the rest of this entry »
