    I'm with you, Carmen. The show was completely forgetful. I didn't like any of the choices either.

    What was the song Adam did? I don't know it. It was pretty good but he deserved standing ovations for songs in the past that weren't treated so well. I am going out on a limb to say it will be Allison going home tonight. I think she was great but Simon said unkind things about her. Where does he get off telling a young girl that she isn't likeable? Not that he meant it exactly like that, but, it was cruel and insensitive. She doesn't gush all over the place and she isn't pretentious so we should not like her? What exactly did he mean by that?? Again, it shows that it's something besides an actual singing competition alone.

    If not Allison, probably Lil. She was just all over the place last night. I agree with all the judges for once. We've lost the original Lil that was good.

    I'm also with you on Scott and the judges. Those judges are trying so hard to get the last word, first word, compete with each other, etc., they don't seem to know what they want. I think all the contestants would agree with that too. I am sick of all four of them saying practically the same thing. It makes me think they halfway listen and feed off the person next to them.

    Thanks Barry!

    Stupid DVR cut me off at the end so I didn't even see what Adam sang lol.

    I thought Allison was amazing. that song suited her voice and suited her style. I thought it was the perfect song for her.

    They raved about matt... I didn't think it was that great.

    to be honest I think when they start running out of time like that they just say "It was good" so they don't have to elaborate

    This is another reason why I don't understand why they added a 4th judge. stupid decision. Now we have to listen to an extra person ramble on when they barely had time for the three judges they already had. it kind of ticks me off lol because my DVR cuts me off at the end so I don't get to see all the performances because the judges ramble on




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    I agree. I got the same feeling.

    I'm going to say that Adam and Anoop were the only ones I really enjoyed tonight.. And I'm not normally a fan of Anoop.

    Danny and Allison were kinda disappointing in my opinion.. They definitely didn't do as well as I've seen them do..

    I think that either Matt or Lil should go home this week. I also thought that Anoop did a great job and Adam is always good as well. I'm still a big fan of Danny though and I also like Allison. I ended up splitting my vote between Danny, Allison, and Anoop.

    I was disappointed with Lil's version of The Rose, she was off-pitch in many noticeable places. I think she cut out many of the more effective lyrics, too - I know the song well. I think she's kind of lost her way, trying to please the judges that she's lost her own personality. I hope she refinds herself along the way.

    Adam was so very entertaining. He's too good to be on Idol.
    He should be selling out concert venues.

    Danny would have been great if he hadn't started so low pitched.
    I just love his voice. Whew... dreamy....

    Anoop was really good. His voice is so sweet.
    With the right songs, he does really well.

    Allison was ok for me.
    I just wish she would ennunciate the words of the songs more instead of breathing them.
    In the end I think that will hurt her.

    Probably Lil, Matt & whatshisname (crooked lips when he sings) are in the bottom three.

    I wasn't feeling great last night so I halfway watched the show. Adam was just plain off the chart. You're right, Carmen, what is he doing on that show??? He has the Led Zeppellin sound down so well, it makes me go back to the 70's every time I hear him. He is a class act from beginning to end.
    Matt wasn't good and I didn't vote for him last night. Lil needs to stop trying to make it "her own" so much and sing the doggone song. She's killing herself with the different version she tries to sing. Lil looked gorgeous though and I was surprised no one mentioned it.
    Anoop was pretty good, Kris was ok but not really that good. Allison is trying too hard. She needs to back up a bit and just sing the song. I thought Danny sounded fantastic.

    I pick Matt to go home tonight. I will be sad but he's just been too shaky.

    I really thought it would be Lil going home. She has declined over the past several weeks, and I was surprised when he told her she would be with them for another week.

    I liked Matt, but I don't think they should have used their save on him... What if Allison or Danny (or heaven forbid, ADAM) are in the bottom and need to be saved. Now they can't... That's just my opinion on the matter...
    I agree with Simon when he said he didn't think he is good enough to WIN the competition.

    Anoop was surprising to me that he was in the bottom 3. I enjoyed his performance last night (though not as much as I originally thought after I re-listened to it on the video on the website), but I guess he just doesn't have the fan base that others have.

    I was upset when Ryan said to Danny "You've never been in the bottom 3...", and then said "But this week you are......" Then snuck in "Safe" as Danny's eyes got really big...

    They said since they saved Matt, 2 will be going home next week, and the theme is Disco! That should be an interesting show..

    I forgot to mention something. For all the years I've watched AI, I've always wondered what language Paula is speaking. It's like she reads a dictionary right before going out and tries to use as many weird words as possible. I think Simon asked her what she was talking about last night.
    If she sat next to me and I listened to that nonsense all the time, I would burst out laughing. I think that's why he laughs sometimes.

    On a lighter note: I love Paula's jewelry. The glitter and sparkle of it is so cool.

    I wonder if they'll keep 4 judges for next year. Can we vote on who gets to go?

    HAHAHAA, I actually think she writes down X number of comments, dipending on how many sing one night, and just reads off one to each contestant, whether it makes sense or not.

    I have a feeling the producers won't renew Abdul's contract and it will be back to 3.

    Scott is gone.. And even though he was a nice person, and had talent at the piano.. I definitely think it was his time.

    I also think they were right not to use their save on him. There is people better than him that should be saved if it comes down to it.
