American Idol April 21 Top 7 Disco/70s’ Night Recap (Video)
Tonight’s American Idol theme is disco songs… Matt Giraud was saved last week, so it’s the final 7 singing again. Don’t forget that 2 people will be eliminated this week since Matt was saved last time.
Here’s the American Idol April 21 disco night recap:
Lil Rounds sang “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan – Randy said she got the party started but it sounded wild; Kara said she still hasn’t told them who she is as an artist; Paula said it was a remarkable recovery considering she’s been on vocal rest; Simon said he thinks it’ll be her last week, very copycat performance.
Kris Allen sang “She Works Hard for the Money” by Donna Summer – Kara said he took a real risk and it paid off big time; Paula said he showed his originality and why he’s a contender; Simon said it was original and well thought out and a fantastic performance; Randy said he knows who he is and is ready for the big time, amazing.

I think this year’s contestants have been overrated. They keep saying this is the best group ever, but there are only three phenomenal performers in this group: Allison, Adam and Kris.
