Simon's right about Matt putting himself in the outside world. His stuff would never be mainstream and make any money.

Uh? Justin Timberlake sings exactly like this, even wears a silly little hat too and makes tons of money.

Matt is nowhere near as talented as Justin Timberlake. Not to mention as good-looking as Justin Timberlake.

I think the hat was to hide that huge ass zit on his forehead.

Are you sure that's a zit? I think he's had it about a month.
 
My favourite tonight was Lil even though she was dressed horribly. She has a very beautiful face but she should do better to hide her unsightly butt.

So what does everybody think about the show tonight?

My favorite performance of the night was Kris. Adam did good but I didn't like his screaming in the middle. I was disappointed by Allison & Danny's performances. Lil and Anoop were the worst of the night by far.

yeah Kris was the best, followed by Adam, then misc.

QFT.
 
I just watched Lil, and I also didn't think she was that bad. I don't think she saved herself though, because she was hammered by the judges. I think Matt & her are done.

Allison sings 'Hot Stuff' by Donna Summer.

I had a hard time as a 39 year old father listening to a 16 year old high school sing that she needs lovin' tonight.

her spandex made her look a lot older than 16. :Q


alright... two go home tomorrow, right? it's going to be Matt and Lil. even though it'll suck having just one girl in the competition with Lil gone.

i didn't think Adam was anything spectacular tonight. he's got the midas touch going on. anything he sings turns to gold. still think he's got it won.
 
The Adam Lambert fan club is here.

The Adam Lambert fan club would like to say Adam is awesome, Matt is Justin Timberfake, Anoop needs sing something besides a ballad to save his behind, Lil needs to leave, Kris did a nice job, Allison didn't do a great job but the judges covered it up so she wouldn't get booted off, and Danny was Danny.

Fan club, out!
 
I'm just watching it now - Adam did a good job, as usual (and did a female vocal, just like I thought he would...although it came from the SNL soundtrack, so he was certainly close enough to the Bee Gees.

But yeah, so far...what a weak night.
 
Wouldn't it be funny if, now that there's no longer a save, Adam got voted out tomorrow? Boy that would teach them for saving Matt. :evil:
 
Man, I don't even want to guess as to who's going home tomorrow...I guess we'll see who has the two smallest fan clubs. I'd like to see Lil gone, but sadly, I'm thinking that Anoop'll be going as well. Matt did okay, as did most of the others, although Danny is really starting to bore me...people that say they don't like Adam's "screaming" but don't comment on Danny's singing makes no sense to me. Adam's sitting pretty as usual.

Arrgh, Matt's performance is as karaoke as it can get. I could have gone on stage and sing it as well as he did lol.

Like Coldplay and The Fray? That's why he nearly got the boot those times and here comes the real boot this time.

lol, and if tonight wasn't bad enough arculetta is on tomorrow.

Please. Show me who on Idol this season can sing better than him other than Lambert? You can say he's nothing special with ballads because anyone can do it, but I've never seen anyone in the previous seasons even achieve this. Anoop's a good example of an excellent ballad singer (go on Youtube), but Archuleta DEMOLISHES him.

they should've used their save for Alexis, but anyways... there is no doubt Allison has great pipes. She has that raucous Joplin-like voice . she's just 16 though.... the stage presence will come.
 
Allison is still a bit too young for her voice and needs smother stage moves

Lil is a great mimicer, not so good for a singing competition

Meghan looked like a human duck



Overall either a real crappy selection to pick from or the judges bombed on their choices to the hollywood finals.

It's the beginning of a horn, like on a doe.

As far as performers, Allison is my favorite. I'd love for them to do a hippie-rock era so I can here her sing Inagaddadavida. I think she would blow the place up with that tune.
