Mixed Idol Review from Las Vegas
The American Idol Tour made it’s stop in Las Vegas as the Thomas & Mack Center this past Saturday. According to one music review critic, Doug Elfman he pretty much trashed the night but said the fans seemed to love the show. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
With comments like “”American Idol” winner David Cook stood there on stage, trying to look cool with his big guitar and a scarf hanging by his belt.
And as fans screamed, Cook opened his rock-guy beard mouth to eke out his first horrible song, which they loved: a cover of Lionel Richie’s “Hello.”
and “It’s frustrating that “Idol” singers waste good voices resurrecting the past. Cook is a fine mimic. But he didn’t sound fresh with Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” in his mouth, and he certainly couldn’t match Dave Grohl’s growl while covering Foo Fighters’ “My Hero.”"
His review also included snide remarks about Brooke White, Carly Smithson and David Castro.
One Fan that attended the show wrote up a review on MJ’s Blog she loved it:
On David Archuleta for instance she wrote “He then sang a stellar version of Josh Groban’s “When You Say You Love Me”. I have to say that even though I always thought he had a beautiful voice, I found him a bit boring during the show. But, in person? His voice is even better and I enjoyed his set a great deal more than I expected to.”
and about David Cook she said, “The moment we’ve all been waiting for… especially me. The American Idol himself, David Cook, takes the stage in a dramatic fashion singing his gorgeous version of Lionel Richie’s “Hello”. His voice is even better in person and the guy just oozes stage presence and charisma all over the place. His next song is Magic Rainbows… er, I mean “Time of My Life”.”
As with any critic you take from it what you want, obviously Doug Elfman was not happy with the assignment to cover the idols, and it showed in his review. The Fans loved the show, so that’s all that is important!

Sounds like a Idol hater to me. He should have stayed home. I would have happily taken his job. Oh you know I would…
