Lil Rounds opened up the Top 13 American Idol show last night with a dazzling performance. It was Michael Jackson night and contestants had to pick a song by Michael Jackson or Jackson 5. Lil Rounds sang ‘The way you make me feel’, and she really put the pressure on the other contestants. She didn’t seemed to be nervous at all.
It is just not possible that Lil Rounds will be voted off the show tonight. She is such a talented singer and the way she opened Idol last night was spectacular!

What the judges said!
“Lil Rounds what’s up baby, what’s up? All right so check it out. This is the way, this is the way we kick off season eight. Man let me tell you something. You know what great about you. This is a Michael Jackson song. He sang the ‘whatever’ a lot of it. You just put a whole new spin on it, with your kind of bluesy, R&B, old soul vibe. Dude you made the song new again. I love this. This is the way to start it baby! Yeah! Yeah! You got it!”
“I mean it’s perfect that you come out because, it’s like what Lil just did. Everybody’s Gotta be like ‘Ohh’. Wow! I need to definitely step that up running. Holy God! But the other thing is, I hope we get to hear you on the radio, because you are great! And you know that and note, that thing was sick! She just snuck that right there. Good job girl.”
“Lil I’d like to compliment you on how the softness, the palette of what you’re wearing and the light of the makeup, but glam squad way to go! You are the force to be reckoned with and it’s such a great way to start off this show, because when you hit your falsetto and you go up, it’s just beautiful. It’s like angel singing.”
“Lil I thought it was good. I was a little bit disappointed because I thought it was a bit of a lazy song choice. I thought the second half was better than the first period, and I hate what you’re wearing.”
There was a really nice video with Lil Rounds’s family in Memphis before Lil sang. Her husband Jesse Rounds talked about some of the hardships their family has gone through (losing there home to a tornado), but that they have really stuck together. Lil was talking about people telling her that since she has 3 kids that she had to give up on her dreams of becoming a singer. Lil went on to say that if you let go of your dreams, you let go of your life. She is very right and I am glad she feels that way or we may never have had the chance to hear this woman sing, and that would be a real loss.
Simon Cowell made some comments about Lil’s outfit. He didn’t like it at all which is fine. He obviously thinks she is great, because he went on to hit on her after he made the bad outfit comment. He also made a comment that she made a lazy song choice. I don’t agree, but what he his saying is really a compliment. He knows that she can take on the most difficult songs out there.
