Adam Lambert 4/14 "Born To Be Wild" American Idol Top 7 Performance

Adam Lambert performed “Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf from the film Easy Rider (1969) in the American Idol 4-14-09 Performance. Paula cheered and was obviously thrilled about it. Paula enthused “You dare to dance in the path of greatness… You’re one of the bravest contestants I ever witnessed”. Simon thought “Vocally incredible…it was a little bit like watching the Rocky Horror Musical in parts.”

 
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild lyrics

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing in the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true nature child
We were born
Born to be wild
We have climbed so high
Never want to die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

American Idol 4/14 - Who Will Rise Above in the "Songs of the Cinema" Theme?

American Idol Performance Night is again in the offing April 14 (04/14/09)! Like you, I am wondering what song choices might the A.I. Top 7 finalists are selecting under the theme "Songs of the Cinema" with the critically-acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino as their mentor.

Honestly, tonight's theme can be quite tricky for the American Idol Top 7 finalists because their favorite movie's theme song might not just be the right choice for them. I guess Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai should be doubling their efforts this week because obviously they didn't fare well last week as they landed in the Bottom 3! I would really like to see Anoop take on some vocally challenging song that will highlight his capability -- Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" might fit him. Lil Rounds failed in her Tina Turner mimicry last week, I guess Lil might want to do a Barbra Streisand or Whitney Houston - I dunno because I think she's losing her sparkle as the American Idol Season 8 advances. So there, who might do well or who might seal their fate in the American Idol Top 7 Performances April 14? It's for us to find out tonight!
