I never really liked Adam before, but his performance tonight really rocked.

Danny was great as well (can't believe they made it through his segment without mentioning his dead wife.)

Poor Anoop, I honestly don't know how he made it in last week. He almost broke the mic twice, he had that whole weird sexual dancing going on, and it was some awful song. This week he was alrighty, but I still feel bad for him.

Uhm. Alexis was great too.

 

[chisnpeke]

I'm not an Adam fan. I think he screams too much.

I like Danny and Alexis the best I think. They are all good actually. Lil Rounds has a great voice but I'm not a huge R&B fan so I wouldn't buy her music in all likelihood. I think Kris is really cute.

I like Danny and Lil' the best. I mean Adam was good this week but this was right up his ally he would have benefitted from this wks theme if it was a little later in the competition because we all knew he was going to make it this wk. But when Lil' and Danny can sing the songs they like then I believe they will prove they are the best. Plus alot of my friends watch the show and they said they are not votting for Adam now. Not saying I wouldnt but I just dont think he is the best.

Hands down Danny Gokey (the obvious) and Allison Iraheta are the most talented singers. While Danny is fantastically amazing, Allison's Heart cover is the only one from the 36 that I listen to often. I actually paid money for it on itunes (which, if you know me, is a huge thing) and I listen to it all the time.

Lil' is good, but her outfit was hideous tonight though.

Jorge scares me with his eyebrows.

Adam is amazing.

Megan is boring, as well as Kris.

Danny Gokey is my favourite to win. I thought he was fantastic last night. He has such a great range to go from "Hero" to that song!

 

[BabyPiglet]

Danny Gokey is my favourite to win. I thought he was fantastic last night. He has such a great range to go from "Hero" to that song!

His dancing was adorable, wasn't it? I mean, he's not a dancer, but it was so spontaneous, lol.

He's definitely my favourite to win.

 

[saratogadreamin09]

Lil' Rounds is AMAZING and my favorite to win it right now

Danny was ok but didn't WOW me like he did in the past

Scott was very good IMO, he has such an easy voice to listen to

Michael was awesome and has another easy to listen to voice, really enjoyed his performance

Jasmine did ok considering she's 17 but I still dont like her attitude

Allison was ok too, she didnt wow me like she did with Alone but she still has an amazing voice (sounds a little like kelly clarkson)

Meghan has a good voice but the song choice was HORRIBLE

Alexis is another one of my favorites, she has a powerful voice

Adam screams too much, he has a good rocker voice but I'd hate to hear him sing a soft song

Anoop I thought did well, he got up there and worked the crowd and did a good job considering the song

Kris was one of my favorites but I wasnt too impressed last night, he still has a good voice but his performance was the worst of the competition for him

Matt had his moments. there were some points in the songs where I hated it but some where I loved it

George has to go, he wasnt good last week and he was worse this week


My favorites as of right now are:

Michael
Alexis
Lil Rounds
Matt

 

[Axel]

His dancing was adorable, wasn't it? I mean, he's not a dancer, but it was so spontaneous, lol.

He's definitely my favourite to win.

I thought it was so cute! It wasn't the kind of dancing I would choose to watch, but it was just so spontaneous that it was adorable!

 

[Tinkerbell94]

I personally like Kris Allen. I just got the video from I believe...last nite's performance and I thought he did ok. He is cute but I think if he just toned it down a little...he could be GREAT!!!

 

[PosessedEeyore]

I like Adam
I think that he is GREAT and totally gorgeous.
I voted for him a lot last night.
But he makes some really odd faces wile he sings ahaha

[Captain Brain]

Kris Allen is my favourite. He's a fusion of John Mayer and Jason Mraz, which makes him awesomesauce.

Dial Idol is very accurate. For last years finale they had david cook lovestruc )winning by the exact same percentage that Seacrest said on air



Anybody have thoughts on whats going to change with the show

I think its going to be the judges voting now

Weird, since it was extremely easy for me to vote for adam and danny, but took me forever to vote for allison.

 

[reminisce]

i dont think jasmine belongs, at all. i mean, she's a pretty girl and all, and im sure shes great at karaoke, but i dont see any star potential. her voice is typical, and her stage presence leaves a lot to be desired. i honestly dont know why they kept her.

danny, on the other hand...well, now, hes good. he and ANOOP are my favorites.

i have to say, i'm glad they brought anoop back.

 

[ohdisco]

My problem with a lot of the artists is that it's already been done. Lil' Rounds is good, but there are soo many female r&b artists out there. Kris Allen (who I thought was so pitchy and off-key last night I paused my television so I could fast forward through it) is completely unoriginal. Really, how many soft-sung male artists with guitars do we need? Michael has a completely unoriginal, uninteresting voice. Alexis is good, but she over sings and reminds me of a less talented christina aguilera. I really wasn't impressed with Anoop, Matt, or Scott last night.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is that if I'm going to vote for someone, they have to be superb. Allison has a huge range, and a unique style to her voice. It doesn't remind me of Kelly Clarkson at all. Kelly's voice is much smoother, while Allison's has a definite edge to it. Danny's voice has so much passion it in you just kinda have to like it. Adam's voice is extremely unique to the mainstream world (there are PLENTY of post-hardcore singers, though, that can hit the high notes).

I hope that Dial Idol thing is incorrect because America would be missing out on a very talented girl. Jasmine doesn't have 1/10 of the talent Allison has.

 

[pitt02]

You must have just got through at the right time for Danny and Adam, but Im shocked that Anoop is in the top 5 i didnt think he did that well last night at all.

 

[crazytp93]

They just said that a judge can save a person if they face elimination.

 

[nerdylightbulb]

I voted for Adam 43 times.
