American Idol: Last Episode Before the Semi-Finalists Are Announced!!!
8:20 am, 12th Feb 2009
Check out my full TV Grapevine recap, including tons more craziness from Tatiana! Here’s the excerpt:
It’s the last episode before the 36 Semi-Finalists are announced! There are 72 contestants left after Group Day, and the judges are now standing over Polaroids of the contestants, trying to decide how to further split the group into four rooms.
We go back in time to see how the contestants arrived in their respective rooms. This round of auditions is also the first time that contestants will be allowed to perform with instruments. (Note: The episode jumped all over the place, so I’m going to write this recap based on each room rather than chronologically.)
ROOM ONE
Adam Lambert is told that he’s still too musical theatre – even though he’s wearing eyeliner (and foundation?!). He tells the judges that he wants to be in this competition so that he can reinterpret familiar songs in new ways. He stays true to his word by singing Cher’s “I Believe” as a ballad. It goes over well, but I personally thought it was a little creepy (David Cook “Always Be My Baby” creepy).
