American Idol Season 8 ----SPOILERS INSIDE-----

I didn't like Kayne West either. I don't know how some people like that kind of music. I never understand what they say. I guess if you listen to it a lot, then you learn what the words are. Hmm.. I don't know. Rap/hip hop doesn't really appeal to me.

I really liked Kelly Clarkson though! I love the song she preformed and he new album is great!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who used the FF on the DVR to skip the Kanye West performance. Just not my kind of music at all.

What did everybody think of tonight's show? Grand Ole Opry. Country is my favorite music so I was pretty happy about it when I heard it.

I still can't figure out what the judges want. Do they actually know themselves?

What was going on tonight with Simon and Paula? Paula didn't look great again tonight. It seemed they were playing games all through the show. If their not serious, how do they expect anybody else to be serious?

Adam's version of "Ring of Fire" was unbelievable. I actually liked it. It was alot like Led Zeppelin, as Paula said.

Does anyone have thoughts on who might be going home tomorrow? I can't narrow it down.

Overall... I thought most of them weren't very good.

I like allison, Anoop, danny was OK, Matt was great, there were a few others that were alright.

i was really disappointed with Michael sarver... that was a STUPID song to pick. It doesn't show any vocal talent. Garth brooks did it because he is garth brooks and didn't ahve to prove anything at that point.

I didn't enjoy adams performance of Ring of Fire at ALL. not one bit.

I like alexis voice but didn't think she was great.

Scott... I wasn't overly impressed with him either. he didn't do terrible but it was a pretty boring performance

country is my favorite too. Maybe that is my problem LOL I like to hear my country SOUND LIKE COUNTRY.

Yeah I don't know what was up with simon and paula... maybe they should seperate them. Paula looked wierd again tonight.

I enjoyed all of the performances.
I don't like country but they made it sound good.
I think Alexis and Lil may have had a bit of trouble yesterday.
The guys are better this year, like last year.
My guess.... finalists Adam and Danny. I can't wait to buy both of thier CD's!

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.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 03-18-2009, 02:09 PM

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.

**Nomilynn** · 03-18-2009, 02:30 PM

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!

**Daisy and Delilah** · 03-18-2009, 11:47 PM

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.

**Karen** · 03-19-2009, 01:47 AM

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!

**Taz_Zoee** · 03-19-2009, 10:30 AM

I agree that Carrie looked horrible. Her hair was ugly, it looked like a wig. And that big black thing......ick. And the dress was not cute, it actually made her look a little chubby. I love Carrie, she is beautiful!!

I think the reason they didn't save Alexis is because it's still so early. There might be a "better" person they need to save later. Like Danny or Adam.

I really liked Alexis from the beginning. I wouldn't have minded seeing Scott or Lil go home last night. Oh well.

**krazyaboutkatz** · 03-19-2009, 11:48 AM

I think that Michael, Scott, and Megan should have been in the bottom three. I was very surprised that Alexis was the one to go home. Danny is still my favorite but I ended up voting for both Danny and Anoop because I thought that Anoop did a great job on Tues. night. I like Adam but I really didn't care for his version of "Ring Of Fire". It was just too weird for me.
