Alexis has a '36' number. Hmmm. That's the best they could come up with away from the phone sex line?
According to Ryan, there is a surprise change to the rules tomorrow night that could change the rules of the competition. Simons says it involves them (the judges) and doesn't know if the public will like it. But we already know that two will be leaving tomorrow according to what Ryan said at the beginning of tonight's show. I wonder if that's it or if it's something different.

I think you're probably right. Assuming you're saying is likely to go home. At least who probably had the worst performances. Danny Gokey's was perhaps the best IMO. I really like Anoop, but tonight his song choice did nothing to showcase his talents. I hope this is his low point of the show.
Edit: Oops, yeah Megan too. She's hot, but other than that, she doesn't exactly deserve to be on a singing talent show, certainly not at this stage of the game.
Please let Megan be gone, she is horrible. Yea, she's super cute, but she can't sing. She's been living on her looks for weeks. Every single time she performs we hear the same crap about her looks, and her style and that she's current. Meanwhile the judges seem to universally acknowledge that she can't frigging sing. She's horrible, I don't understand how she is even on the show. At least Simon called her out.
I'm not a fan of Adam either. My wife thinks he's great, but I just don't like him. He comes off as a guy doing musical theater to me.

ok danny gokey was realllyy good, so was matt giraud, and i really liked that kris guy. of course i want anoop to stay!!!! HE HAS TO STAY! he is really vocally talented and tonight he just wasnt able to showcase that.
personally, i think jasmine murray and the scott whoever dude can go home tonight. they did not impress me in the least. if not scott then megan can GTFO as well...
come on ppl, vote for anoop!!!!!

Cuz maybe you guys aren't musical or something but he clearly destroyed everyone else. I'm putting my money on him.
Edit: yup, correct.

But then again who knows right? Archuleta had the lead all the way with odds. Even till the finals.
Adam was the best by a mile. Stop watching him, just listen to him. Danny was second.
Megan = horrible song choice. Why that boring song?! Probably because it was the only song that fit her bad dancing?
I'm voting right now for Danny, Adam, Allison and Anoop. Must save Allison and Anoop!

Just watching it now and with a daunting collection like MJ's...nobody seems to really be bringing it. I'm at Megan right now (and she looks foine...I still love her quirkiness) and I'm still waiting for a "blow me away" vocal performance. I think that Anoop really dropped the ball tonight - seems like MJ's music would be perfect for his range and he chose "Beat It"? Come on.
Another update in 6 singers or so 😉

Alright, so we obviously have some very tastes here 😛 I thought that Adam's performance was damn good - he was the most original tonight and of course his vocal experience helped him coast through to next week.
Overall, this week really did suck...the contestants were confronted by music that either A.) they could reproduce faithfully and be compared to MJ (they lose) or B.) try a new arrangement and possibly shoot themselves in the foot.
I have no idea who's going home this week, but my first guesses would be Jasmine and Scott - Scott has a great story, sure, but his singing technique is pretty poor and he certainly can't compare to a handful of the other guys. He won't be voted off though, due to his story. Jasmine just doesn't have the personality necessary nor the experience/age to pick good songs. She's got a pretty good voice but that won't be enough against the other women.

were top 3 this week
Red-head chick was also great, and I dug the last girl, though I thought she held back a little. Seemed a bit awkward, but a good performance.
Thank god this will be the last we see of Anoop. I'll never know why he was given that chance over about 8 others who should have been in the wild card round.

interesting. it seems those that don't like Adam seem to looooOOoove Anoop.
figures. that dude blows chunks. Hope he gets sent back to the karaoke bar where he belongs.
As much as I dislike emo, Adam is in the stratosphere, along with Lil, compared to the rest of the competition. It's effortless for those two. glad to see that Danny was really good tonight. Almost forgot about him.

Lil Rounds should go far in this competition. The lady can sing.
I think that the actual singing caliber this year is better overall than the last two years. Can't comment on the previous years as I did not watch the first few seasons.
I could see Adam front a band like Velvet Revolver.
