    I couldn't believe how the judges loved Megan Joy's piece - I thought it was terrible! I feel bad for her that she had the flu, but I thought she intentionally butchered that song.

    I thought they'd give Adam points of for his version of "Ring of Fire" being not at all country, but apparently that's okay to do. It certainly was different ...

    What the judges like and dislike is often a mystery to me.

    This is my first season watching American Idol, I just decided that it was such a huge part of popular culture I ought to try it.

    I loved Adam's version of Ring of Fire - reminded me of Jim Morrison of the Doors. It certainly wasn't country, but it got my attention.

    I thought Danny was good. Anoop was wonderful and then I went to sleep because I was tired.

    Adam's version of "Ring of Fire" was eerily strange but it took me back to the 70's. I love the music of the 70's!!
    It wasn't the normal country sound but the judges seem to like them to make it their own. At least they seem to like that sometimes and sometimes they don't. In Adam's case, they were dumbfounded.

    I was also a huge fan of Jim Morrison too. Adam is one of the most talented people I've ever seen on that show. I know there are alot of agents ready to grab him.

    I also liked Danny, Anoop, Chris, and , Matt. The young red headed girl was good too.

    Lil and the little blonde girl(I can't remember her name or the red headed girl's name) gave me that feeling I get when someone is going home. I also had it with Scott and a little with Michael.

    Michael sounded good from a distance. When they did the playback and I was in front of the tv, it sounded lousy.

    Megan sounded like a person that had the flu. I was embarrassed for her and the judges loved her!! I am completely confused as to what they think is good or bad. I think she was surprised.
    I've almost wondered if my hearing is bad or my tv sound is on the fritz.

    I didn't like Megan's performance, either. I'm still trying to decide what I think about Adam's version of "Ring of Fire." He's definitely talented, but I'm just not sure how to wrap my brain around that particular arrangement of that song. I agree that Michael, Lil, and Scott really struggled last night. I was glad to see Anoop do so well after last week, and I liked Matt and Danny, too.

    I hope Megan goes home. I really thought that she should have gone home instead of Jasmine last week. I didn't know she was sick, but I didn't really notice that she sounded worse/ better than when she was well!

    I think Alexis should have been given another chance. She sounded good before last night. Her repeat tonight was awful. I think she was really nervous. I had so hoped she would be in the bottom 10 so she could give her daughter a better life.

    Michael going through was no surprise. I can't believe Megan is still there. I was shocked to see Allison in the bottom three but somebody had to be there.

    Why was Carrie Underwood dressed like that? That outfit was hideous. Thank goodness she's so cute she can wear anything and look good.

    I was surprised Michael and Megan both made it through - maybe Megan got a lot of sympathy votes because of the flu ...

    I agree with you Terry, she should have been given a second chance. I can think of at least 2 or 3 that aren't as talented as her. It's really too bad.

    And yes, what was Carrie wearing??? and her hair??? hideous!
