Just watching it now...Alison did well, Matt did great. (Adam's coming up right now) Anoop was okay, enough to be safe. Lil, Kris, and Scott, yep. I can't see Adam being worse than any of those three, with Kris being the best of the bottom 3. Just a bad song choice and arrangement.
 
Wow, yeah, that was a pretty damn good arrangement and performance by Adam. I'm surprised no one's commented on his lip gloss yet 😛

I personally feel that Danny's getting lost in the shuffle - he's consistent every week and doesn't really change things up at all. Adam's showed a few sides, Alison's going to be the last female, Matt's slowly pulling ahead of Kris, Anoop was in trouble a few times so he got more drama and face time...

Scott and Lil should be the next 2 to go...after that it gets interesting, in my mind. It'll really come down to who has the worst week/song when there isn't a clear default loser.

Matt, Allison and Adam were the best.

Side note, Idol totally wrecked my recording of Fringe. Oh well, I've always got Hulu.

Idol got me too, and Hulu doesn't have it yet. However, you can see Fringe at http://www.fox.com/ You have to install their player though.

Yep.

I'm with you guys.

Me too but Allison will probably end up in the bottom three if past weeks are any indicator. I hope Scott goes home.

Final will be Adam vs Danny. No need to even watch the next five weeks 🙂

Ugh, the blind dude sucks. Allison was awesome as always, I love her song selection tonight. And of course the judging panel was sucking adam's cock again, he totally botched Gary Jule's version of Mad World.

omg.

The dude is blind?!!?

well dayam that explains alot. This is the first Ive sat down and watched this season and my dad and I were thinking he was slightly autistic or something.

thanks for the info!

he's very seeing impaired, and iirc, he has extreme tunnel vision.

but of course, that's not the reason he needs to be gone, his voice is nothing short of karaoke.
 
Said it a couple weeks ago, adam will be the winner. Only thing to decide it who would be second. Thought that would be a challenge between danny and alexis, but she had a bad night and got booted with no save (gee, wonder if the judges would like to go back and get that voice back in the competition). Allison has finally started to work within the limitations of her voice and could give a challenge to second, but the rest may as well be voted off now.
 
Being an Adam-hater, its painful to say that (for the most part) I really loved Adam's Mad World. He couldn't have picked a better song for his girly falsetto voice, and couldn't have done a better job than he did last night.

Still rooting for Anoop. Love his abilities. Allison is the coolest, but I think her voice needs more maturing. I'm getting tired of her, Kris Allen, and Scott MacIntire.
 
Did anyone else's DVR miss the end of the show? Luckily we have youtube. Also, that bald white guy at the beginning was kind of freaky. I thought it was a wax statue at first.

Adam is awesome. Allison and Matt are both really good. Kris and Danny are Decent. Anoop is in fact a "yo-yo". Scott and Lil have to go....both very predictable and getting kind of boring.

Top 3 should be Adam, Allison, Matt
Top 3 likely will be Adam, Danny, Kris

the Smokey Robinson week was still the best performance I have ever seen on this show. That, Ring of Fire, and Mad World are way up there.

Dude has real talent.

I can't really grasp why people hate him if it is somehow unrelated to his emo look. It's painfully obvious that his skills are way beyond anyone else on that show. And I really dig Allison, Danny, Matt, starting to like Kris, but Lil is slipping for me, now 🙁

I missed adams performance because it ran over. Is it anywhere online yet?

yeah, that bout pissed us off. we dvr'd it, I set to 2 minutes over just in case....but what the hell?? we were actually watching it on delay, so were able to jump back after we got to the end of what we were watching. Still, his bit didn't record, and we couldn't replay it after watching through it b/c time was already 30 minutes ahead of what we were watching.

Never would have lived that one down (from the GF) if she missed his performance....

Less than 30 minutes! Who do you think will be going home tonight? Who do you WANT to go home tonight?

Scott!

but it ain't gonna happen 🙁

I wish Scott would go home. Either him or Lil going home tonight would be fine.

I think though that it will be either Kris or Matt instead.
 
Kinda awkward with the others leading Scott around but it's nice that they're actually giving him enough credit to move around the stage.
 
Ryan teases that the Judges Save is still alive. He asks that Adam, Kris, and Anoop to stand up. Adam is safe. Kris is safe. Anoop is in the bottom three!
 
missed the first 15 minutes cause i was on the phone with cox as it seems my dvr just crapped itself. did I miss anything.



lol, of course not.



this song they're playing, heard it on the radio the first time two days ago. pretty neat remake of the original. chick sounds much better recorded though.
 
I wonder what the website was that FOX censored. FlowRider or whoever he is tried to push a site where he'd be streaming live and it was censored.

Pickler coming up next!
 
Ryan asks Danny to stand up. Danny is safe.

Matt has to stand. Matt is safe.

Scott stands up. Scott is in the bottom three. Yay!
