Loved the Adam-Allison duet.

I haven't seen that yet. I hope that pairing is a prelude to the finale.

Judges didn't like Kris. I thought he did great. Danny had a tough time in his solo.

I thought Kris dd great too. I scratch my head with the judges sometimes.

wingnut4772

Ow my ears. Danny what were you thinking?

bobman1235

Seriously that last note by Danny was absolutely horrid.

polkatese

Kris will go home tomorrow. The other three are at least a notch above him tonight.

I thought Kris was hitting some bad notes last night. It also appears that, during the duet with Danny, that he forgot the lyrics for a moment then recovered; that or he had some really odd timing-I did'nt like it over all--It also seemed like Kris and Danny were fighting for volume-to stand out.

Danny's solo was not good for me--he just seems to keep getting to the top of his range and is belting it too often. I like him much better in the lower range. And yes that final note was definately horrid.

I thought Allison did very well tonight-I really like her voice and she has greta stage presence-like Slash said she had good rock swagger (or something like that).

I like Adam tonight as well, but it didn't wow me like other nights--He just goes over the top a bit to much. But it definately rocked.

Man when I heard Slash was the mentor and rock was the category-I seriously thought that Adam would for sure choose a GnR song. His upper range is so similar to Axl Rose. I'm not sure what value Slash added as a mentor to the show though.

Based on last night I also think Kris is going home. Then probably Danny, then its between Allison and Adam in the final.

Believe it or not, I think Slash actually got Adam to tone it down a bit.

I can't wait for Aliison's first album. I think Danny's going home tonight.

Eh, the show bugged me.

I've never been an Adam fan at all - I know he's got a great voice - but I just don't like what he does with it. He's just too over the top & theatrical for my taste. I'm just waaaay done w/him.

I found it interesting that they stuck Kris & Danny together for a duet, two guys who don't do rock, which the judges all too frequently pointed out when they didn't do very well together. "I know, it's just not your thing." But then they stick Adam & Allison together, two people who DO rock, & then the judges heap praises on them. Just seems like stacking the deck. Of course Adam & Allison are going to sound the best. Why not put a rocker w/a non rocker? Seems more fair to me. I'm not even close to being a conspiracy guy, but it just sorta smacked of trying to set Adam & Allison up for the final. Eh, jus sayin'.

& Yeah, what was Danny thinking? Hind sight's always 20/20, but I'd rather hear some Bad Company or Lynyrd Skynrd out him. I believe in stretching one's limits, but not breaking them.

Tonight's vote outta be interesting...

inspiredsports

This is a tough one because Danny seems to have a bigger fan base, and Kris took the safer route (and his mouth just twists up so goofy doing rock, well, everything). Adam, Allison, Danny with Kris going home?

BottomFeeder

Mmmmeh!

I say Allison's going home. Despite the judges fluffing her up, I just think that the other 3 have bigger fan bases.

We shall see.

wingnut4772

I hope you're wrong.

according to my magic crystal ball, her execution won't happen till next week. So will it be done...

bopicasso

I dont understand why people are voting for gokey, his voice is very soft rock, michael bolton.
Plus his performance last night was easily his worst.

Conradicles

Can't believe they sent that young girl home. She can really sang'.
Bet her voice would sound killer on a CD.

wingnut4772

America is stupid. That is all.

mmadden28

Ah man, now that chit is just not fair....Paula and the other judges pass judgement on all these contestants over the years and she finally gets up on that same stage and frickin lip syncs it?!?!? It's just plain wrong!! She should be ashamed. It did sound good though.

Oh, and what the heck was wrong with Gwen tonight? She sounded awful most of the time and seemed out of breath from the very beginning. Well, at least she peformed it live.

danger boy

true.. Gwen Stefani sounded bad.. but it was really due in part to the mixing of the music. she was much louder than the entire band. if I was here.. i would have punched someone in the face for that. It was not No Doubt's best moment that's for sure.. but mostly due to the poor sound mix.

is that Danny guy ****? just asking.

dougy

Personally, I thought Kris did very well with "Come Together" and in fact, I thought he won the week. It wasn't the best song for him, but he pulled it off.

Adam is unique, I'll give him that. But he's way over the top with the theatrics -all the mugging, sneering and over-emoting! ...And that tomcat yowl, every...freakin'...WEEK! ...Puh-leeeze!

Danny picked a bad song for him. I'd say he's lucky to survive. But he has many fans, including me.

I could barely hear Alison over all the noise. Somebody had to go, so I guess since the judges can't stop salivating over Adam for five seconds, and America really loves Danny and Kris, she was up against it. She'll be OK, though, with that big voice.

Yeah, I thought Paula's lip-synching was lame. She also seemed to be using the Cher-effect (you know the perfect-pitch machine)...I'm tired of that, too.

Gwen reminded me of The Boss at the Superbowl halftime show: all out of breath from the runnin' around and kinda just sloppin' through the song...Also lame.

My crystal ball failed me. I guess I underestimated the problem of Allison failure to "connect" with the voters. Out of 64 Millions votes, if 60 percents of those are teenagers under the age of 21, and out of those population, 80 percents are girls who voted on average five times per idols per week, hmmm, Allison's fate was sealed.

It's a popularity contest more than a singing competition.

sad to see allison go...i wanted kris to go then allison, leaving the danny vs adam showdown for the finals

if any of you didnt have danny in the finals already you should now know whats up...he has never been in the bottom three (adam was in bottom 2) and even with an awful song choice and terrible final note he was safe...fewww


glad to see him survive rock week....but all in all a great season...just wish allison was there for one more week

ok, now that Lil and Anoop were dismissed, should we just map out the rest of the season?

Next week: Matt
in 2 weeks: Allison
in 3 weeks: Kris
in the final: Adam and Danny, and the crown goes to Adam.

As much as Allison can sing, she can't connect to the voters. Hence, my prediction is that she would be gone before the final.

so, need to revise the order a little bit.

hockeyboy

I thought Paula's performance was terrific. I'd hit it.

mrbigbluelight

Allison, in her duet with Adam, kicked arse on the Foghat song, "Slow Ride"; she can sing, she can belt out a tune with the best of them, and she actually commands the stage when she's on; not an easy thing for anyone, but especially for someone 17 !


Kris ? About as exciting as watching dry spaghetti noodles soak up water .... with the stove off.

Simon: "Do you think you should still be here ?"
Kris: "Well ....idunnokindofsortof....hadfunsortofkindofneattosingstuff ...andwhatnot....youknow.....gollygeewillikers......"

I took the liberty of paraphrasing his answer, but .... :rolleyes:
