Watching the playbacks, I'd say that Adam and Lil were my least favorite tonight.

My favorites are Allison, Kris, and Matt.

🙁 I missed it tonight. Anywhere to watch recap of the show?

Keep a close eye out on YouTube for the individual performances or portions of the show. They may already be up over there.

i could use a little less eye makeup on adam

he really has some bad acne going on if you see him without makeup or if the light hits him right. he uses A LOT of foundation to cover it up.

but anyway.... he's got this thing won.

i did like Anoop's singing tonight, and Allisons, but they don't have a chance of winning with Adam in the competition.
 
Anoop Dog in'a house! I thought he did an awesome job, and I agreed with Paula, he had more connection to the audience this time. Here's hoping he rocks it again next week, I really like the sound of his vocals.

Allison was a disappointment (again), and so was Rounds, who I was never that impressed with. Matt was disjointed and pointless, Grokey was cool, but didn't hear Kris.

Adam was back to his old drivel again, even after I thought he 'found himself' (atleast found what people enjoy hearing from him) by softening his edges and containing his shrill screeching the last few weeks. I hope its the last time he makes viewers listen to his wannabee crock star act.


On another note, I thought Tarantino was actually pretty constructive in his advice, go figure.
 
The one word to describe most of the talent thats left on this show is this:

BORING

I like Adam, but he can't carry the show by himself.

They need to ditch Kara.

Lil is no Melinda or Lakisha.

Lil doesn't even belong on the show.

I miss Normund....at least he was entertaining.

Paula makes it interesting. she's not just a talking head... she's a talking headcase.

Agreed. Paula should stay, Kara should be fired for spineless useless rambling.
 
Every time Paula opens her mouth, it's either

(a) mindless banter that makes no sense whatsoever
or
(b) flowery words that take up a lot of time but say absolutely nothing

At least Kara seems to add some input with her comments and seems to at least somewhat know what she's talking about. Since Paula's comments don't actually say anything, she could use the same comments on almost any performance and any contestant. If you enjoy Paula's mindless banter and flowery words, then I can understand you wanting her to stay. For me I would enjoy the show more if I could program my media center to skip Paula's "contribution" to the show just like it skips commercials.
 
Nothing much new this week.

Adam is still the only real entertaining one and if he doesn't win I'll be shocked. The dude cracks me up every time he sings when he starts that high screaming. He should front a hair band from the 80s, or a Euro rock band right now. - Yngwie Malsteen's singer, or maybe something like Dream Theater.
Lil is still a good singer, but no real personality or really any uniqueness to her. She's like the obligatory power singer that makes it in the top 4-6 but never wins
Kris is really good but I don't think people really are invested in him
Matt is just odd. Sometimes he's dead on, other times he's so clueless it' embarrasing.
Danny is solid but the same thing week in and week out. If you buy his CD be prepared for every song to sound the same
Allison is a great, great singer. I hope she does well and is probably the only other decently entertaining one in my opinion
Anoop.....nothing special. There are people all over the country that can sing ballads like that. Whenver he tries to bust out of that he fails, so he's sort of stuck there.

Bottom should be Lil, Anoop, Matt - Lil or Anoop should go.
 
I was so happy to hear that Kris was singing a song from "Once", but it probably will hurt him that it's such an obscure movie. Great movie though.
 
I think Adam and Allison are keeping the show the most interesting. Matt and Kris are good when they're right on, but half the time they're not. Anoop and Danny have good vocals, but they're only showcased by boring songs. Lil has been completely devoid of personality for several weeks, and I really hope she goes next. Hopefully Simon's comments weren't harsh enough to encourage sympathy votes.

Edit: Not every song by Danny is boring, but it's gotten monotonous with him doing the same thing week after week. It's a shame, because I really liked him in the beginning.
 
So who does everyone think will go home tonight? And who do you want to go home?

I think Matt will go home. I want Lil to go home though.
