I know, it definitely doesn't feel that long ago... wow. I almost wish he could've been the last Idol. But I do love that show...

I agree with you on the 'Adam Lambert Show' thing. I'm just sick of him. YES, he is an amazingly talented singer, but I've yet to hear any of the judges call him predictable and yet he IS. It's like they're seeing through a fog or something - nothing he does surprises me anymore. Every week you know he's gonna change the song drastically, you know he's gonna screech and scream (Where is Simon with his comments on shouting? Adam shouts at us every week!) Or it's gonna be a slow, mellow song, and it'll be good, yeah, but it's just like... whatever. I'm totally over Adam.

I agree with a lot of the Kris/Danny comments... I really love Danny but Kris is definitely creeping up on him to steal that second spot in the finale... man, would I love a Kris/Danny showdown instead of an Adam/some other person finale.

well, Adam is polarizing that's for sure, but you can't deny that he can sing. When he held that note forever, I was just like "@#$%!!!" Simon and Randy banter about calling Adam theatrical was pretty funny. Randy calling him out for being a little too broadway, and Simon saying that like whining because the cow said moo. That's who he is. Once you get that Adam is a performer not just a singer, then he makes a little more sense. (Still doesn't mean I'll buy his albums though!)

THis was the first week that I thought Danny showed some life and creativity and not just the same old same old. THe growling and yes the swagger at the end was about a 3/4 BJ moment for me. If he does that the rest of the way he may actually beat Adam.

Loved Kris, as usual. he was fablous. Dark horse, yes, but I think one of the other two have ot really struggle one week for him to break into the finale.

Allison and Matt were btth good, but not good enough.

I won't deny that he can sing but I deny that it's a good sounding voice. Of course thats a matter of opinion. Some really love it, and some like me hates the sound of his voice and the screeching high notes. His mannerisms and performances are always over the top and theatrical. When I watch Cook on youtube at his concerts and especially the ones that its just him and his guitar alone, (totally naked on stage as he would put it) its just him and his voice and it is so pure and beautiful and moving. I don't think Adam is anywhere near that caliber if he doesn't have all the lights, pimpage and theatrics to go with it.

I'm going to miss Matt, though, he was just too adorable. And how did you guys find out that he voted for David Cook?

Matt also said when the top 13 had to pick Kelly Clarkson or David Cook Matt picked David

I'm going to miss Matt

I'm done now for this season. Just give Adam(who can't do anything wrong)Lambert the crown and be done with it. Put me out of my misery!

Furthermore, I believe rock week was by design to make sure Adam was in his element. It's true Kris and Danny were not in their comfort zone. But take Adam out of his comfort zone as well and you have a train wreck (country week). Also Adam got to open and close the show.

Glad Kris stayed, sorry to see Allison go but I guess it was inevitable, she just didn't have the fanbase. Judging from my gut reaction when they announced Kris was staying, I would have to say I'm probably rooting for him the most.

Me too. It was funny, I was hootin' and hollerin' and its not even like I'm this major fangirl or anything, LOL. I'm just a sucker for the underdog and I didn't like the way things went down for him on Tuesday. If he makes it to the finale, I'm going to vote for him.

I was sorry to see Allison go, I really like her voice and hope she gets picked up by a label. She blew the roof off the place with her sing out and she had so much confidence as she walked around signing to the judges, hugging them, touching hands with the fans. I think if she had shown that kind of confidence and swagger earlier on she may have developed a stronger fanbase.

I like Daughtry's new song and I think they sounded/performed well last night. Certainly he sounded better than No Doubt (who I like and was looking forward to but didn't think sounded that good) or that flashback to Paula Abdul's heyday (WTF was that?). I didn't watch Chris' season but it was funny when he made that comment about getting over his shocking boot in 30 seconds, there seemed like a moment of silence and Ryan seemed to not know what to say for a second before Chris continued speaking. Was he being cocky? I ask in all honesty because I've seen a lot of comments about him that he's arrogant and cocky, I've never seen him in an interview so all I know about him is his music.

I'm like 10 posts behind so I'm gonna reply with a bunch of thoughts that came to mind after I read all of your guys' posts...

I'm really sick of Adam. He is so talented, it's true, but the personality is not there for me, and I'm just bored. His performance on Tuesday WAS his best in a while, granted, but I'm just really tired of the same-old same-old from him. I was really nervous when Danny said he was doing Dream On (It immediately popped into my mind, too, that it was the song that MJ went home on) and that was his worst performance. I am SO glad that everybody rallied and got Kris and Danny through to the top 3.

I was sad to see Allison go, I really loved her. I think she's going major places and I take comfort in the fact that Kris, Danny, and Allison will all have longer and better careers than Adam, even if he wins (still hoping he doesn't)

I've got to agree about the judges... what is with them?? They're not even JUDGING. I think Simon is the person that has disappointed me the most, because we're all so used to him being so honest and so blunt and saying what no one else will, but all he's done is worship Adam like all the rest of them. And Kara, please, a rock god? Whatever. Paula's been over the moon about Adam for forever and I'm just SICK OF HIM. He just acts like he's already won the entire thing anyway.


I have to disagree. Although I wish David could be the American Idol every year(he always will be to me!), there is going to be a new one. Adam is in a class by himself. He has a range that no one else comes close to and he has the originality. I love Danny and I am rooting for him as well. But Kris-although he is adorable, I don't think he has a distinctive voice and style. I was very surprised he stayed. Allison has much more talent. This is when the popularity over talent comes in. The younger fans love him, as does my daughter. In my office, we all pegged Kris to be the one leaving. That was a real surprise.
I hope they keep the duets for the future. Danny and Kris did an great job with Renegade; Adam and Allison were
fantastic. That innovation was great for Idol.


Results night was weird for me... I was nervous for Kris and Danny, ecstatic that they're both still here. No Doubt was strange, I like them but it's weird to watch them perform... sorry to Paula but I'm not a fan of her music, and Daughtry was pretty good, though he DID sound strained to hit the higher notes.

Alright, that's all I have to say. Looking forward to the homecoming tapes for Kris and Danny, couldn't care less about Adam. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

But on top of that, his coronation song will be edgier than the bubble gum type of song everyone else has had to deal with. I haven't heard anything this year of a song writing contest like last year. I believe they are already working on just the right song for Adam so it will sell well for sure.

I like the new Chris song as well. But I did notice he seemed to really strain when trying to hit the high notes. I don't think the high notes comes as easily to Chris as it does for David. But I still liked the song and performance.

I like Daughtry's new song and I think they sounded/performed well last night.

I've decided to simply put a link to my blog if anyone's interested in my opinions... especially regarding Adam Lambert and this week's show. I wrote it after the performance show... so my thoughts on last night's results show aren't there. Let's just say I'm sorry that Allison went home, because honestly, she was the only one this season whose records I might buy!

Wow this is the first time I knew almost all the songs they sang (I just didn't know the first one Danny did). This was an interesting show.

Simon gained my respect back at the beginning when he called Kara a cop out, because she was. She picked the song! Apologize is a song associated with the piano (the guy did it on the finale last year ON THE PIANO) and the says he shouldn't have done that? Kris did some changes with the arrangement. The original singer usually does the falsetto for most of the song and Kris only did it once or twice. I think he did a great job with it. It was one of my favorite performances by him. But of course the judges, except Randy, couldn't give him any love. When I found out he was singing that, I heard it on the radio and could hear him doing it. I'm not a Kayne West fan, so I kind of laughed when I heard he was doing that, but it was amazing.

I think Danny did brilliantly, but do they always have to go at his dancing? He's a spaz, we get that and I love him for it (from one spaz to another), but he does that clearly when he gets into a song. His second song was amazing and he even earned some love from Simon with the 'vocal masterclass' comment.

Adam... I personally love both the songs he sang but... I loved the beginning of One for him, but then the screaming started. I'm beginning to think that's the only way he can hit those notes. That's just not a song you scream in. It suited Cryin' more, but I still wasn't a fan of it. I liked One a lot better. What got me was Simon actually telling voters to vote for him! Are you serious, Simon?! Why not just shout out 'Adam's going to win because I want him to win!' That's out of line and completely unfair to Danny and Kris (who both did amazingly tonight, it wasn't only Adam who did well and I didn't see him reminding the audience to vote for them).

Honestly, I can't wait for this season to be over. Overall, I think the contestants did well. Can we just remove the judges?

I'd love a Kris and Danny finale for sure! They both crafted their songs with such subtlety and were brilliant. I found it kind of unfair that they picked a song for Kris that David A. did so well last year. Kris handled it well though. I also found it interesting that once again an Aerosmith song was selected to finish the Top 3 night. It's like Adam studied last year to see how you win. Not a criticism, just something to ponder.

In an ultimate twist, I would like to see one of the finalists literally sing his face off. I think it would add yet another twist to this season and would make Randy really happy since he's decalared it to various people repeatedly this year. Maybe for a follow up they could sing the phone book, or was that last years catch phrase?
