The Top 7 remaining contestants performed on American Idol last night. Last night’s theme was Songs from the Movies. Contestants had to pick a song that has appeared on a Movie Soundtrack. Lil Rounds sang Amanda McBroom - Bette Midler - The Rose. It is an incredibly difficult song to sing and Lil Rounds truly tried to make it her own. However, that still did not satisfy Simon Cowell. Simon didn’t have anything good to say at all about Lil’s performance.

Since the theme of the show was Movies. The world famous director Quentin Tarantino was the special guest. Taratino is the director from some of the most successful movies relesed in the last 15 years. He directed the movies Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs and the Kill Bill movies.

After Simon Cowell gave his comments Lil Rounds was very upset and she had some comments for him. Here is what she said, “I really want to say something quick Simon. You guys told me to be an artist, and when I heard this song I thought it was a beautiful song, and I put my own bit into it, because I am into the R&B, and the Soul and the Gospel. And I put it in there.”

There was a slight change this week. Only two judges gave comments because of the disaster which took place last week when American Idol ran 8 minutes too long.

Judges Comments:

“Lil you could not have sung a more beautiful lyric thanks to the writing of Amanda McBroom. It’s one of the most beautiful songs, and I am sure to paraphrase one of the lines and all of the contestants will agree, ‘Sometimes the road is really long, but it is a road that is worth taking’. Especially when you have made it this long, Lil. Congratulations”

“I have absolutely no idea what you just said there. Ok listen Lil, once again I going to say this to you. I think you are getting this completely wrong. The song was too soft for you. It was too middle of the road. You had some nice moments in there, but there are no excuses anymore Lil. You are not the artist I thought we met 7 or 8 weeks ago. I’m getting frustrated.”
