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.

According to dialidol.com, lil is the top vote getter 😕

I've said this from the beginning, I think Kris Allen will win.

OK, here is how the breakdown SHOULD be

Adam
Allison
Kris
Danny
Matt
Anoop
Lil

The bottom 4 are getting very stale and copycat-ish. Danny is a great singer, but absolutely 0 variety...same with Lil. Anoop's songs are straight up boring. Kris really surpirsed me so far this season.

I think this is pretty accurate, which shows just how ridiculous it was for the judges to use the save on someone who should've been in the bottom three anyways. We know that who gets the votes and who deserves the votes are usually not one and the same, so the next few weeks could be interesting (or infuriating). Hopefully the judges weren't so hard on Lil that she earned a lot of sympathy votes. If she had bawled instead of talked back to the judges, then she'd have a better chance of making it to next week. I certainly hope she's gone this week, and as long as the other person isn't Adam, Kris, or Allison, then I'll be happy.

Danny > Allison > Chris

Danny is original, has a great voice, presence, and sings with passion.
Allison has a ton of potential but needs a lot more work and should be gauged by where she is now.
Chris is a very very good coffee house singer.
Matt is very good but always unmemorable and repetitive.
Anoop has a special voice but limited personal and vocal style (and somewhat irritating stage presence.)
Lil is a decent singer but nothing special by any regard.

Sadly, I think Anoop is going home tomorrow night.

🙁

I liked him last night, but he doesn't deserve to win. He has to go sometime.

From dialidol.com:

Make no mistake about it - the predictions are simply too close to call this week. No one is predicted to be flat-out safe for the first time this season therefore DialIdol can't be wrong because it really isn't making any prediction.

and

It looks like there is some weird stuff going on with Lil Rounds prediction this week. I did some analysis during the first hour of voting and found three of 24 people dialing for her with busy percents way out of whack. Two of those three were calling from the same area code. I filtered those dialers out at about 10pm but the "damage" was done. In a way I believe this has more to do with a disproportionate number of callers for her compared to the rest of the contestants. She only got 40% of the calls that the next highest total. This makes her data very unreliable and probably over-inflated. If there are going to be any surprises they will probably come from her. I believe she is ranked higher on the chart than she the data suggests she should be.

Hopefully 6 spots higher than she should be.

Edit: It looks like Lil was high on the charts last week even though she was in the bottom three:

I understand that Lil was high up on the chart but margin of error is very real and proving such this week. As I monitored the vote last night I saw some very weird stuff going on with Danny and Lil's predictions. Lil seemed to be getting the most busy signals from 9:30 to 10:30 (Eastern) while Danny was getting the fewest busy signals. I'm not quite sure what happened here but I'll look into it.

I can't necessarily argue with that either. It's hard for me to really rank 1-7....instead I have tiers 🙂

Tier 1 - Adam
Teir 2 - Kris, Danny, Allison
Tier 3 - Snoop-aloop, Matt, Lil

 

[CRXican]

Danny is super lame

you crazy!

 

[SmoochyTX]

OK, I'm predicting that Matt & Anoop will go home tonight. What I'd like to see is Lil and Anoop go though.

Who are the two do you think or want to go tonight?

 

[SmoochyTX]

🙂

 

[SmoochyTX]

Decent group dance number. Anoop & Lil have no dance skills whatsoever! Hahaha

 

[SmoochyTX]

Time to dim the lights. Lil stands up and then told to walk to the far side of the stage. Lil's journey ends tonight and she's GONE!!!

 

[lupi]

wow, kicked her ass off pretty quick.

 

[amdhunter]

lolol yeah she got the boot fast...

 

[amdhunter]

I love how I timewarp only in this thread lol.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Freda Payne's dress is a little TOO see-through.

 

[lupi]

this not sounding so good.

There is no such beast as a little too-see through. 🙂

I'm worried about Thelma Houston's boobs breaking free!!!

lol, I wish Simon would rate their performances. That would be pretty funny.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Now I hope KC has his jock in place. It seems as though he does. *whew*

 

[lupi]

and then this white guy comes out

Hahaha, by the look of his face, it would have probably been better flopping around. Man he looks like he has to pee or something.
