Allison rocked it tonight. And LOL @ Paula's moustache!

My faves tonight: Matt Giraud, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, and Anoop Desai.

Allison's outfit was horrible tonight but she was easily the best female singer this evening.

which is why all the women need to get voted off now so we can get down to deciding the winner.
 
Allison, Anoop and Adam were the best.

Scott was bad, but Megan was so painfully horrible she probably saved Scott's ass.
 
The show actually ended on time! Ruben Studdard performs tomorrow as does Stevie Wonder.

Who do you think's going to be kicked out?
 
Adam , Allison & Anoop were my top 3. Allison & Anoop got my votes though.

I put Scott, Michael & Megan in the bottom. I'm praying Scott or Michael will be going home.
 
that was weird Danny and Lil Wayne I thought were going to blow this away tonight, it
was supposed to be their style of music, pretty dissapointed, Adam def won tonight followed by Allison
and Anoop Dog
 
Matt and Chris were both good. Allison and Anoop were great. But Adam was on a completely different level tonight than the others. Great performance. Nobody else came close to that.

Here goes Adam singing 'The Tracks of My Tears'. And here goes another 'out there' interpretation.

excellent...I think Meagan and the oil rig dude are gone

Obviously Adam is the most vocally talented but I still think he can shave a good bit of his theatrics from his performances. I'm waiting for the first time that he sings a ballad or something minimalist - showing that other side will garner him a lot of fans.

Whoo hoo, I get to quote myself! Adam finally toned it down both visually and vocally - and it was amazing. His falsetto is just ridiculous...he has both control AND power up there. Great performance by Adam.

Anoop did well, again, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. I think that Matt did really well, as did Alison.

Megan, Michael and Lil in the bottom 3, for me, with Michael going home. Lil's really starting to lose ground quickly though - you would think that Motown week would be her time to shine. But no, it's a couple of white guys that rocked the house 😛
 
Adam Haters: choke on it. Best performance of the year so far. Best I've remembered since that fat chick 2 years ago.

Hey, Anoot was decent too, even I can admit that. Though he did put me to sleep.

Allison was great. Danny good. Lil....not bad. Should have been way better. I forget the rest, except terrible, terrible song for Megan. It was a disaster from the beginning. sucks, cause I dig her style.

Please let it be Scott.

:thumbsup:

I also thought Matt did OK, was hoping for more though. I mean...when you do Marvin, you better make me feel something. I didn't get that at all. I thought it was a good performance, just no emotion.

Yes please. Sounds terrible but, just because he has a handicap is no reason to keep him around. Overall, he's just not a great singer/performer.

After last week I was afraid he would bastardize some Motown song with a creepy indie version but he did the right thing. Whoever is advising him got it right. Cleaning up the emo hair and nail polish at least shows he's not trying to do the "rebel" thing, which gets you nowhere in this competition. He's back as my #1 pick with Allison in second. Nobody else really impresses me.

Stevie Wonder next week coincidence?????
 
Adam is a fantastic entertainer but his voice absolutely grates on me.

If he could take some tips from his personal life and open up his throat more and go bigger with his voice, he'd have more resonance and it would open up his lows as well, which are almost non-existent imo.
 
I can't stand Adam's voice either. Sounds like I'm listening to some stupid musical theater version of every song. He has control of his voice, but the tone isn't pleasant to me at all. Plus the emo nails and hair and slight effeminancy have got to go.

Hahahaha, didn't realize he was in the comp =)

For some reason I wasn't blown away by Adam's performance. I actually LOVED the Ring of Fire song (at least the studio version, I've played that song over and over here on my computer) though.

I liked Danny's performance better, I really liked his voice. Lil didn't impress me, she does just seem to yell. Michael and Scott were horrible. I don't think Anoop did "great", but it was definitely good enough to carry him to the next show. I'm not sure who I want to have go more, Scott or Michael. Probably Scott just to get it over with, even though they both deserve the axe equally.

 
Adam and Allison are by far the most unique and entertaining. They are really the 2 that I look forward to hearing each week. The rest of them, I don't really care about.
Actually I don't mind Matt either b/c I think he's capable of doing new and interesting things.

Scott will do a piano ballad...which is probably what he wants to do anyway, write piano music and sing it.
Lil will try to oversing some song.
Michael will struggle with something and give that "ahh, shucks, I'm having fun" talk.....actually I like Michael but his singing just isn't great.
Meagan will vibrato every note and really suck....but they'll say she looks great.

Am I the only one that just does not really like Anoop? I don't know what it is about him, I just don't think he's that great and he annoys me.

I say Michael is this year's "country girl from last year that got ripped every week, was always in the bottom 3 but somehow managed to stick around week after week" person.
 
Bottom three better be Scott, Michael and Megan.

I expect Michael to go home, but I'd rather Megan leave. I can tolerate more crappy performances from Michael and Scott than Megan.

ADAM LAMBERT FOREVER!
 
lol anyone remember when Paula said "under my shirt" and then she had that look on her face like "oops wtf did i just say"
