I think it was just that people were so concerned with voting for Allison and Danny that Adam didn't get quite as many votes as usual. I am sure people figured Adam was "safe" and didn't need their vote as much. I bet there was a big difference between how many votes he got, and how many Matt got.

Not really surprised at the outcome. And I though Natalie Cole did a nice job, but that her dress was a little strange.

I thought it was hilarious that Adam was in the bottom three. I liked him at first but its difficult for me to listen to him anymore.

I was surprised to see Kris in the bottom three though. And I knew he would be the one saved.
I was glad Allison was safe. I thought she did very good this week.
My friend/co-worker and I have such opposite opinions on this season. She can't stand Allison and I don't care for Adam. She LOVES Adam. My number one is still Danny. But my prediction is Kris will win. (But if Danny does, that's okay too.

)

My friend and I had talked about him being in the bottom 3 (I told her I didn't think he would), and I really didn't call for the bottom 2! He'd really be better off without Idol but I know how disappointed he would be if he didn't win. You can tell he really wants to win this thing.

But as far as the bottom 2, Adam has no "wow" factor left. America feels like they have seen all of Adam at this point and the other contestants that improve on their game each week will beat out a BETTER contestant that is no better now than they were at Week 1. Adam is a freaking amazing performer but he isn't really any better now than he was two months ago. He's always been amazing but it's not "so" amazing to everyone anymore because it's expected. People that take the world by storm like he has also get forgotten about just as quickly.
Kind of like Chris Daughtry.. He was the best one on there that year (in my opinion), and he still got voted off. People expected him to be good, and thought he didn't need their votes.

PLUS, there are those who think Adam has it made and doesn't need their votes because surely he must be getting plenty from other people. This week's bottom 2 outcome will get the fans voting with a vengeance next week and my guess is he WON'T be in the bottom 2 next week even if he sings like crap, which we all know won't happen.

Cori, you're exactly right about Adam. He's done everything he can do so now he's just there. As much as I like him, even I am getting tired of the constant Led Zeppelin sound.

I really think Danny will win and the runnerup will be Allison. I think Kris will go next, then Adam , and we'll be left with Danny and Allison. I never thought Allison would make it this far even though I like her. I felt America would vote her off long ago. She's made it this far, she might be there against Danny.

People know Adam is going to be successful no matter what happens so they will vote until their fingers fall off for other people.

My brother is a musician and knows alot about music. He thought Kris was the best, by far, with his Rat Pack song. He said he hit all the notes to perfection and even did better with his rendition and range than he's ever heard anybody do with one of those songs.

I thought Natalie Cole was really good too but that dress was weird. A little bit longer(2 inches?)and it would have looked great on her. She sounded alot better and performed alot better than I expected. I love Jaime Fox but the acoustics didn't seem right for his song. Taylor Hicks sounded like he was shouting and didn't seem to have good pitch at all. I'm still trying to figure out how he won the competition a few years ago.

I fast forwarded through all three performances last night. I tried to listen to Jamie, but the way his voice was synthesized I couldn't handle it. And I agree, Taylor wasn't that good. I really liked him on season 5 though. But I think because you could tell he was really enjoying himself.
