American Idol Season 8 – Top 4 – Performance – VIDEO

This is starting to feel like Friday the 13th.

Here we go…

OMG, what’s going to happen?

They need to demolish that staircase ASAP

Holy cr*p about the tower.

Ryan still went down the staircase? What? I wouldn’t.

Ricky and the band on the stage and ready to rock!

The broken tower looks pretty bad.

Well, we’ll really see what the kids are made of tonight with all the chaos. Good luck to them all! Poor Matt – this would’ve just wrecked him! LOL!

The contestants look really nervous.

What is Adam wearing

Oooh – Kris is hot in black leather!

This show is cursed tonight.

OMG ADAM!

Danny looks like a tool. Kradison look amazing.

Yikes about your photobucket MJ. Man, just a lot of weirdness going on today…

Yeouch, the stage is falling apart! I remember one of the results nights Kris almost fell on it too. Thing is eeeviill.

Kids lookin’ hot tonight! dang Adam really is going for it, isn’t he! That should be a good sign for all the Adam fans who didn’t want him to rein it in

Aha, I called Adam going 1st Whole Lotta Love–Led Zeppelin

Lol, at slash in AI…

Kris, Allison, and Adam look awesome! Danny is wearing a red button-down… huh?

Adam is first , gettin the Led out!

Slash is bizarre. Adam is starting us off.

WHOL LOTTA LOVE YEAH!!!!!!!!!

LED ZEP cleared a song for AI OMG!

Adam is all glammed out tonight. Everyone is in leather except Danny.

I am surprised that Adam is going to do Led Zepplin’s , A whole lotta love. I am surprised that Zeppelin cleared that song for Idol.

I like Adam’s hair tonight. Very edgy and rocky.

Finally! Adam sings Plant! WooT!

lol my mom made sure the volume is up for adam….and she hates rock….:)

Does Adam play an instrument?

I finally called a song right haha.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. This is his genre. he looks like he’s been fronting a band for 30 years.

I hope he doesn’t do the big breaths thing between lines. I really hate that. I love his mean, rock look though.

A little no band action too!

Big time reverb for Adam. Of course. Not sure he needs it. His voice is really enough.

this is so not the american idol i grew up with!!

Adam does not play an instrument. But good lord….does it matter? Whew!

No halfway for Adam- either he just won it, or he’s going home tonight! I vote for winning.

This is why Adam’s never gone first before. Who can follow that? Hopefully Danny.

LOVED ADAM. Finally, we get crazy Adam again!

LOL….soon as the judges started…my mom turned the volume down…..

Kara is ridiculous

That was brave. He’s either won the whole damn thing or sealed his fate for tomorrow. That was 100% balls to the wall.

Kara… um, wow.

Yes, they can, Simon.

LOL, this is the same show that Clay Aiken was on?

Redemption arc activated I was sort of iffy on it, but I’m not a fan of the glamrock stuff anyway so not sure if it was the song or Adam.

OMG the tongue bath…oh well, what can you do ::shrug::

Allison next – Janis Joplin’s Crybaby

Yikes guys don’t sit under the cursed tower!!!

His voice is his instrument. Oh come on, Simon. Give the other contestants a break. I am so sick of the kissing Adam’s feet. Makes me never, ever want to cast a vote for him.

Ewww. It was so bad. He can’t compare even an inch to Led Zeppelin.

Okay if I want to vote for Adam what was the text # lol I didnt pay attention

Okay if I want to vote for Adam what was the text # lol I didnt pay attention

Oh HELL YEAH! That was the Adam I love! I knew he would do Led, he had the Led going on in *Born to be Wild*. DAYUM! BRAVA!!

That seemed much longer than 90 seconds. I wonder if they will have longer songs to sing tonight.

Wait, what? “Crybaby”? So the spoilers were wrong…

Where’d those spoilers come from?

For anyone who wondered what genre Adam’s CD would be… their is your answer

Apparently the song spoilers were wrong…

I bet on an Adam-Allison duet to close the show now.

Simon just threw down the gauntlet … pick it up and slay him, Allison!

HOLY HELL.

Can we just crown him now??

I’m glad Allison is next. She has the most chance of matching Adam in the rock vibe. Can’t wait to hear what she has chosen. I hope it is Heart or Benetar or Stevie Nicks. She has the voice for any of them.

Absolutely fabulous Adam.. Kara’s rock god !!

I’m not an Adam fan and this wasn’t my favourite of his, but thought he was great. He sets such a high standard for himself and I think we somethimes forget that

ADAMMM BB ROCKED THE HOUSE!
So the HBIC.

[/yes, I am a total fangirl.]

ETA: This will be a pretty polarizing performance.

LOL, this is the same show that Clay Aiken was on?

Welcome to the future. :cool1_tb:

That was one of the best Idol performances ever for me……….WOW!
I can’t stand LZ but I really enjoyed that.

Awesome. ALlison is singing Joplin. THis should be great.

Whew. One of the AI performances ever, in eight seasons, that one can say was entirely without a flaw.

That was brave. Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s either won the whole damn thing or sealed his fate for tomorrow. That was 100% balls to the wall.

I agree. It was a tad much for me, so I’m afraid it might be a lot much for some of the casual/traditional Idol viewers…?

love it!!! remember peeps VOTE VOTE VOTE ADAM FTW!

Well its been a crummy day so here I am watching Idol tho I’d vowed not to. Adam was really, really good, though I don’t think he’s the second coming like some fans.
Allison’s doing Joplin! Go girl!

AI needs to do this more

I think Allison has a little bit of Janis Joplin look about her tonight. I absolutely love this song. She’s going to be great.

YES I LOVE THIS SONG.

GO ALLISON!!!! She’s gonna rock it.

Allison’s going to have to bring it bigtime or the audience won’t remember her, they’ll still be thinking about what Adam just did.

Another scream fest by Adam and major pimping.

Go Adam!!! No wonder he’s never gone first before… Everyone else is gonna look bad lol

Jeebus. Lele might just die happy tonight. But, please, before Gokey.

YESSS Adam and Allison duet!

I agree. It was a tad much for me, so Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m afraid it might be a lot much for some of the casual/traditional Idol viewersà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦?

Well that’s their problem then because he was simply awesome. That was pure rock at it’s finest.

I hearby apologize to Adam for saying he should tone it down. Adam knows best!

Is this the most talented top 4 ever

God I love Allison…but this was not my fave performance…..

LOL GAWD FORBID Adam should let out the rock scream on a fucking Led Zep song. Can I borrow a few pairs of eyes for a group roll?

Allison was great and Randy is an idiot. Don’t dis any of the contestants tonight. I agree with Kara. I also think bluesy rock is her genre. I thought she was great.

Yay Kara for giving Allison credit for personality!

Simon wants her to sing Queen? Riiiight. That would go well.

Ohh, no Allison. Love ya, girl, but don’t talk back. Showing personality is good, but America needs to get a good impression of it. That came across as a bit immature and whiny IMO. There are better ways to express what she was trying to say.

Wow. Adam is awesome, he can wail like no other.
But a 70′s and 80′s rock record? Not for me. That’s the thing with Adam, it’s great to watch him, but I have no interest whatsoever to purchase a CD from him.
But that’s just me.
He is very talented though.
Allison rocked too.

Anyways. I think Adam and Allison are way safe tonight. Hope people vote for them.

LOL GAWD FORBID Adam should let out the rock scream on a fucking Led Zep song. Can I borrow a few pairs of eyes for a group roll?

Here you can have mine……..

…here comes the bus for Allison…….

yeah, kick his arse, yeah

Allison’s was all right, probably on the same level for me as Adam…this just isn’t my genre.

Surprise surprise about the judges. sigh

YEAH GO ALLISON!!!!!!! take it to Simon!!! wtf was that “just beg”??? rude!

You tell him, Allison! I’m so glad she chose Joplin.

Actually agreed with Simon’s critique for Allison until he started provoking Allison. Hm, love Allison, but not sure I liked the backtalk.

VOTE ALLISON. SAVE THE ROCKER. PUT THE GO IN GOKEY!

ALLISON AND ADAM DUET FTW!!

Allison was great. WTF are Randy and Kara smoking?

Also, Adam, while great, did a straight up version of Whole Lotta Love. I don’t get that criticism at all.

I walk out of the room for a few seconds and missed Allison’s backtalk. What did she say?

That was some strange criticism, Danny and KRis duet?
This is going to be surprisingly good I bet.

Oh crap, Kris is with Danny. Also this probably means Adam is not only going to open the show, but is also going to close the show. Give me a break. This is all such a farce.

I don’t think that this was one of Allison’s best performances.

Allison is going to be in trouble for tom….

Loved Allison.

Did Allison just shoot herself in the foot by talking back? >_>.

I didn’t catch Adam’s performance either, so hopefully a video. I also don’t like this idea of duets. It’s like the one everyone loves duets with the dark horse, so it sounds a bit uneven. I’m extremely worried for Kris tonight. Something about dueting with Danny as opposed to the other two spells elimination for me. I’m voting all the way if I can.

GOOSEBUMPS ADAM!!!! GOOOOOOOSEBUMPS!!!!
his best niche performance yet!!!! omg! OMG! FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY!!!

And ALLISON KILLED IT TONIGHT!!!!! if i were her, and i just sang like that, i’d fucking talk back too. Give em hell Allison!!! that’s what rocker chicks do!!!! Amanda Overmyer wouldnt have stood for that shit either!!!

And my God, who in their right fucking mind wants to here another version of Take Another Little Piece of my Heart?!?!?! SMart choice to stear clear of that. FIRE THE JUDGES!!!

ADAM AND ALLISON FTW!!!!!

When Simon winds a contestant up, I love it when they start talking back. I’m waiting for a “Just shut up, Simon” response

No – not my favorite Allison performance. Just not feeling it.

Wow I am so loving A and A!!!!!

But a 70à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s and 80à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s rock record? Not for me. Thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the thing with Adam, ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s great to watch him, but I have no interest whatsoever to purchase a CD from him.

Even the judges have now pigeon-holed/ pegged him. That’s where his musical center is, but it’s not the least bit COMMERCIAL. And he’s not going to be Daughtry/ Cook, so that means they’ll turn him into a pop-artist. Say hello to Lord Ga-Ga.

I thought Allison was good, but I agree with the judges, she picked the wrong song to show how great she can be. Also doesn’t help going after Adam.

I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think that this was one of Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s best performances.

I agree, it showcase her vocals well at all

I agree with Randy, I love Allison don’t get me wrong but I wish she would of choose something with more melody

So, not only will Adam open and close the show, he will also have the longest rest time between songs. Fair? Depends on your perspecitive I guess. I think this is good. You go, Danny and Kris.

Wow think Kris and Danny sound great together

Wow, the duet showed Kris’s chops and Danny’s lack of them.

Don’t like Danny, but him an Kris sound good toghter

I love the harmonies. Very, very nice.

That sound you hear is the bus revving up for Alison.

OMG never thought I would say this but.. Danny just outsang Kris. Kris was was all over the place vocally. Wow

Oh man Danny totally outshone Kris on that song… dammit! Danny actually sounded great.

Danny and Kris sound great together!

Wow, the duet showed Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s chops and Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s lack of them.

Totaaly diagree. Personally think Kris’s voice is weak.

Simon is also an idiot. I didn’t think Danny was one bit better than Kris. Give me a break.

That’s the best Gokey has sounded in a long while.

Ouch – that was painful Simon.

I think that Danny and Kris did a good job on their duet together. IMO, Danny didn’t really overshout Kris like a lot of people feared he would.

Allison was great. WTF are Randy and Kara smoking?

Also, Adam, while great, did a straight up version of Whole Lotta Love. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get that criticism at all.

This.

Honestly, although Allison had some beautiful runs, they were both straight up renditions and didn’t swerve off the beaten path from the originals.

Nice harmonies from Kris and Danny.

Adam and Allison just nailed Robert Plant and Janis Joplin. AllI I have to do now is wait for their duet, and hope the two of them reach the final. What a great final that would be.

Was it me or did Kris miss some lyrics there in the middle?

Tonight it is really comming up…. they want Adam/Danny in the final

That’s really difficult for them to do duets- which is probably the most challenging thing ever on American Idol- without a dress rehearsal. Oh no, Kris looks pissed and he’s up next.

Wow, Kris looked like a kicked puppy. Poor Kris. Simon you are mean. You didn’t have to make it about one being better than the other. I thought the best they sounded was when they were singing together.

That duet sucked. Kris’s vocals were bad, no way around that.

WTF did Danny just diss the band? I don’t hate him, but he is remarkably good at consistently coming off @ss.

Nah, I think Kris outshone Danny on this, given the standards. But that was a good duet. Simon what the hell. You just have to compare the contestants, don’t you?

Good harmonies, but it seems like they just want Kris out. I’m probably not going to watch anymore if he does get out tomorrow.

That was okay, not BAD but not that interesting either. They did harmonize pretty well. It’s a bit obvious to be grouping the two “rockers” together on “rock” night and leaving the other two out to dry. I kind of hate Simon tonight, a duet is not about who sang better

Gah and Kris has to sing again right away…

Ugh. I hope one of my two faves knock out one of the front runners. But I doubt it’s going to happen, judging by the comments they’ve gotten so far. Stupid judges.

Vote for Allison!

Wow, the duet showed Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s chops and Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s lack of them.

Quite the opposite, actually. Kris was pitchy and slightly flat. Dang it, Kris. The harmony was tight, though.

So why don’t they just eliminate him and save the voters the trouble. He is left with nasty nonchalant criticism and has to sing immediately after his duet. I which I had 12 phone lines tonight to vote for Kris. I am furious with the blatant favoritism. It was Kris with the beautiful harmony. Simon is a creep.

That duet sucked big time! Adam and Allison closing out the show, I cant stand it! This is the best nite Eva

I loved Kris and Danny’s harmonies. Loved them.

Holy cow, Slash got all 4 contestants and Ricky and the band to rock out!! Can we have Slash for rock week every year?

HaHa- Adam gets to go first and last this week!

I thought that duet was kind of a mess. And I like that song, too. *sigh*

I like Kris, really really like him, but there is no denying that he was really pitchy. I did not want to say Danny outsang him, but it’s true. That sux.

This is really horrible for Kris. At least give them an even playing field.

the interactions between the two were awkward, but the harmonies were quite good.

I have to say that I agree with Simon, in the solo parts, Danny sounded better than Kris.

Argh, browser crashed, so I missed Allison.

The harmonies on the duet was good, but individually Kris and Danny were not good. I agree with Randy and Kara. So strange.

Duet was good…when they sang together….but separately i hate to say this…Danny was better…Kris was a bit weak….

Jammasta

I will be joining you if Kris goes out tomorrow nite.

So nervous for this. Please do good!

Wow, the duet showed Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s chops and Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s lack of them.

Quite the opposite, actually. Kris was pitchy and slightly flat. Dang it, Kris. The harmony was tight, though.

Okay – Uncle!!!! I was listening with my heart not my ears.

I’m having Jason Top 4 Trainwreck flashbacks with Kris… Too shouty. He should not have gone with the full band like that.

Bless his heart. Kris sounds great on this. I’m glad he is playing his guitar and rockin’ out. Screw Simon Cowell. Have a ball and enjoy your time in the spotlight. I loved it.

Danny is becoming a tad bet cocky

Umm….. Kris…. I have to say….. yikes. I’m pushing for you in the finale, but this isn’t you. But I have to give you props for trying to rock out. I’ll be voting for you still. A bit tough for him.

Thank you Randy for liking it. But I do have to agree with Kara, he was kinda trying too hard, hopefully this can push him into there.

Kris should have listened to Carly’s performance from last season before he sang this.

Wow, I was so nervous for Kris after the video, but it was pretty good! Loved the Kris Allen groove. Agree with Randy on the groove. Nice!

Interesting duet. I agree that the harmonies were beautiful. I think Danny overpowered Kris a little but neither did better than the other. Btw they both look hot tonight!!!

Now Kara is pushing for his elimination. I don’t get it. I agree with Paula and Kris is an artist on this stage and this was a good performance. Simon this is important for these kids. Why do you have to be such an ass.

Kris tried his best. Give him a break judges. Hard for him tonight. He seems a little a bit defeated.

I am a huge Beatles fan and I loved this! I think he did a great job! But watch out for that big bus, Kris.

Not Kris’ genre and it showed, a shame really, I am sooooo tired of Gokey.

I am hating Simon tonight.

Hello Kris, meet bus.

Oh man…Kris and Allison are in trouble….get ready for a Danny/Adam finale…..but I was not digging Kris….

Simon still whoring Adam. Jesus Christ.

Durnit, Kris. I really, really like you and you did not do well tonight.

Danny hasn’t even sung yet and Simon has already decided Adam is better. Give me a break. Honestly I don’t care who is in the final with Adam I am voting for the other person. This is disgusting.

Poor Kris.

That was ugly, they backed the truck all the way on Kris, it’s very sad…

Danny is singing Dream On? Sorry, but ewwww.

What is Simon trying to do? naming name like that. first saying that Danny was better than Kris, and now Adam is the best of the night before everyone finishes perform! hes so transparent about wanting a danny/adam finale

Danny singing Dream on… I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

Wow, Adam is going to get to go last again and Gokey still hasn’t gone last. Hehehe, the boards are going to implode again!

Poor Kris, hard nite for him, he tried tho.

Kris Krashed.

Kris – I liked it, he did what he could. Beatles is more my thing than Led Zepelin. Yes, he tried very hard, Kara, should he have tried less hard? And Simon, shut up about Adam already, sheesh. This show and I, we are done, professionally.

painful to see Kris that sad

Gee I can’t decide which contestant is getting hit by the bigger bus, Kris or Allison. The judges aren’t very subtle, are they?

I would DIE for an Adam/Allison finale, and have been calling for it all season, but Gokey just won’t GO. “Dream On” was Michael John’s swan song, I’m hoping it takes Danny for a very deep dive as well.

Dream On is my all time favorite song and the thought of Hokey Gokey doing it makes me ill.

Just got home in time to catch Kris doing Come Together — he really threw down! I’m so happy to see he had that in him. A good job rocking out, and also making the melody more interesting in spots.

Wow. Kris is totally UNDESERVING of the judges’ criticism! I thought he was great. He made Beatles classic his own in an awesome way.
Simon obviously doesn’t want to look stupid if his Danny-Adam finale doesn’t go as planned. Which WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Kris deserves to be in the finals, can’t wait to see him on Tuesday in two weeks rocking out and doing his thing.

Kris and Allison are in trouble

I don’t think Allison is going to be in trouble as she’s closing out the show with Adam and watch them lather over both of them (probably deservedly). Kris is in a lot more trouble.

Will the Michael Johns Dream On curse come to haunt Gokey? I can only hope.

Poor Kris, kind of felt bad for him for the first time in months. He did not look comfortable at all.
Ouch

OMG Danny= trainwreck

Aww Kris
Ugh Simon sucks.

YOu know, I thought Kris did a great job for a genre that is really not his thing.

Well, one good comes from the rehearsal that wasn’t, the production crew is forced to do the recaps from the performances.

Shorthand:

Adam – YAY!!
Allison – YEAH, GIRL!!
Duet – Sum is better than the parts…

Oh, please. Anyone who’s ever been in figure skating or a spelling bee or anything knows that going first and having nothing to do but twiddle your fingers and wait for the end is the worst possible position to be in.

Kris and Danny got to warm up on stage and come back out and perform their solos. Unfair advantage.

Adam and Allison had to sit backstage and try and modulate their emotions a whole hour and come back out and perform.

Hoooly crap, this is promising for a trainwreck.

I completely and totally disagree. Kris was not one bit pitchy. He sang the song exactly as he wanted to sing it and right on pitch. I thought Kris did a fantastic job rocking out on a song that isn’t his kind of song. Good for him.

I think I am the only person who likes Kris who didn’t like Come Together. And why the hell am I agreeing with Randy so often tonight? It’s scaring me.

Danny hasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even sung yet and Simon has already decided Adam is better. Give me a break. Honestly I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t care who is in the final with Adam I am voting for the other person. This is disgusting.

Same here. I hope the backlash hits hard Final 2 night.

I’m fully expecting Simon to tell Daughtry tomorrow he sucks because Adam is better than him too. Asshole. Please Simon, go lick his ass.

Just got back from my piano lesson – so, Adam somehow manages to go first and last – I love that :lol_tb:

Through the power of Tivo I have seen Allison, and FGHJKJTRIUHJTUFGJHFHJGYFTGVFHFKDJH!!!! Why is anyone allowed to be so fabulous??? :wub_tb: That was wonderful, and she looks incredible :smoke_tb:

I f**king hate Simon and to a lesser extent Kara and Randy. I thought Kris did great. But the bus is revved up.

Ouch, Danny. My ears.

Ugh, Danny is doing awful.

Errmmm Danny that sux. OMG MAJOR FAIL.

omg im fearing for the last note!

Oh GOD this is bad

Danny, that was ummm, weird.

This is HORRIBLE, no ENERGY, if they give him a tongue bath I am done!!!!!!

omg im so right. WTF was that? scary!

Eugh, Danny’s worst performance by a mile, in my opinion. OH DEAR FREAKING GOD! GET OFF THE STAGE! And I’m a Danny fan. But I have to say…. That ending was so bad it was funny. BUT OKAY TIME FOR DANNY TO GO HOME AFTER THAT

that last scream was comical…omg, really bad.

That. was. horrifying.

I think I gagged.

Danny wants to beat adam its killing him.This is bad

omg that was terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gokey, you really tried really hard, but not your thing

my dog started howling

Hahahaha Danny the Adam wannabe… And people say Adam screams??? Really?

Wow, I am totally agreeing with Randy tonight. That was not good.

Now people? That is screechy.

Danny wants to be adam its killing him

I fixed it for you LOL

Simon i love you right now

Well, that ladies and gentlemen, was screeching. Geez, that last note was bad…

That was just miserable and awful to me.

OUCH!

OMg Danny was horrendous

Danny! No!

LOL They do kinda hate Danny tonight. Thank you Simon! This is kinda like they’re driving the bus to him but they’re kinda, like, stopping. And for once I’m happy Simon compared him to Adam.

And it’s kinda sad to say I agree with Simon at the end. He’s gonna be safe. Kris is gonna go. And that’s from a Kris fan. Either way I’m voting billions for him.

Well, now we know who Danny was “studying.”

That was AWFUL. Friday the 13th, indeed.

Adam -YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Allison – oh I love me some Janis and Allison nailed it.
Kris/Go(home)key duet – sucked
Kris – didn’t dislike it, didn’t really like it
Danny – has he ever heard a rock song? I feel like throwing up. Smarmy creep.

Danny sounded good until the scream. He tried to out-Lambert Lambert and kinda failed. I’ve been really hard on the Lambert wail and not digging it, but I didn’t realize it could be much worse– could be this bad. Yikes. Though– for once, Danny wasn’t as annoying/smug as usual post-critique! What is this?

Ohhh please. Danny you are sooo full of yourself. That whole performance was major bad and you did not think it was? Puhlease.

Danny should be the one going home while Adam/Allison/Kris move on.

My heart is still breaking from Kris.

And now, I hear this horrible sound coming from my TV. It sounds like a dying cat crushed by garbage bags in a stinky dumpster.

Wait. No.

It’s Danny singing that last note.

The judges were way too kind. That freakin’ SUCKED!

I’ll let you know when my ears stop bleeding.

Talk about pitchy. Danny screamed. He was by far the worst of the night. How nice for Adam that rock is the genre of the night this late into the competition. Next week everyone but one is in the bottom three, Ryan. Kris was so incredibly much better than Danny. Talk about taking a risk and challenging yourself. Kris is the only one that took a risk. This was Adam’s genre. This was Allison’s genre. Danny screamed and wasn’t on pitch more than three notes the entire song. Kris played guitar and rocked out on a song that is extremely difficult to sing and play and did it beautifully.

Why the heck is Simon still drooling over Adam’s performance an hour later? So annoying. What a huge turnoff.

Danny’s scream at the end was, um, interesting…

Ugh I hate that bus. Kris and Allison better make it through tonight.

EVERYONE listen to Simon, DANNY IS SAFE NO NEED TO VOTE FOR HIM!!!!

Oh my freaking god, Danny was a disaster! Horror movie indeed. Looked like a deer in the headlights — I almost feel sorry for him — oh, who am I kidding….

I completely and totally disagree. Kris was not one bit pitchy. He sang the song exactly as he wanted to sing it and right on pitch. I thought Kris did a fantastic job rocking out on a song that isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t his kind of song. Good for him.

And I just got through hearing the SCREAMING from Danny that is getting “A for effort”!!!!!!!
I thought Kris “Krisified” the song as he always does, and made it totally his own. Can’t wait to see it again.
I am usually a very reasonable, sane person, am an RN who works with new mommies and babies every day, and honestly, I wanted to SLAP those condescending comments right out of Kara’s mouth. For the first time ever, I wanted to kiss Randy. He evaluated Kris as a MUSICIAN. Love ya, Randy.

Shorthand cont’d:

Kris – Dude, I love ya, but wrong song. You sang it well though, so good on ya!
Danny – Oh man, what the heck are you wearing, and what the heck were you thinking with this song. Bad, bad, bad.

Wow, never ever thought these two would try to sing rock songs straight and try to rock them. Not great. And in Danny’s case, for me, for you, for me, really really not good at all.

And, now due to the rules of the drinking game, I’m stinking drunk due solely to Danny’s clapping for himself and “Thank you, thank you” repeatedly to the crowd.

Never thought I’d find myself longing for Michael Johns’ rendition of Dream On, yet here I am…

didn’t Michael Johns sing Dream On the week he went home?

IMO, that song choice definitely wasn’t right for Danny. But I would rather he stay around instead of Kris.

I knew they were going to do this!

Kris isn’t in his element what do you expect – judges? They have such audacity to say things like that.

Same with Allison, she did everything and the judges still don’t praise her enough.

Judges you can shove it. If your agenda is to get the worst and predictable talent in America then you’ve accomplished your task. Kris and Allison will have twice the careers that Danny (for sure) or Adam will have.

Kris is totally UNDESERVING of the judgesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ criticism!

So much word. Kris is awesome and only guilty of not fitting their pre-determined agenda. This may finally be the thing that puts me off of this show for good.

Oh please. Going first and last is starting and ending the show and what every performer wants to do. It makes the first impression and also leaves the last impression and is most definitely an enviable spot to be in.

Adam & Allison for the Final Two!!! This is HAWT!

Danny was horrendous. I think that performance is probably the worst I’ve ever witnessed on AI.

Wow, this duet is killing. And it’s so not right. They’re making it so Kris is gonna get booted. And I admit, this is one of the very few songs I like Adam’s scream in.

A2 was so cute! That has to be the final two!!

I wonder if Simon will give his opinion of which of these two is better. Don’t like the song. There were so many better songs for them to pick. Adam is doing his performance thing though. Give him that.

ADAM AND ALLISON!!!!!!!!

ROCK AND ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Wow. I LOVED that. Adam and Allison are still my top 2.

Danny Gokey owes me one dog, my pooch whined and ran off on that last note. I fear he may never return. I’ll miss you, patches.

And that is exactly what was intended by the pairing, Simon. So obvious.

Last I checked, Allison is going last too.

Well, that was a trainwreck night. I expected much better, even from a genre I hate. First of all, all that rehearsal stuff went haywire.

Adam, typical over the top performance. Not a fan of it.
Allison, a bit rough but probably the best of the night, even though it was meh.
Kris, my favorite person, definitely not his best performance. I bet he was forced to do all that rock-ish stuff, though. Not bad, but not good. Pretty average, in the lower tier of his performances.
Danny, I have to admit it I liked it because of how bad it was, but what the hell, judges are kissing his feet even when he does terribly. Worst vocal, hilariously bad ending. Seriously, I expected this to be the time he’s finally torn apart. His worst performance, worst vocal of the night, he should really be the one going home.

The duets sucked. The first one was pretty good harmony but the vocal seemed forced. Second one was great vocals, but the boring song choice resulted in a dull duet even though the two tried to rock it out. Seriously, it seemed like there were 5 words in the entire song.

Overall, such a bad top 4 night. The duets weren’t good ideas at this point. They’re trying too hard to make it different. I’d rather have had the contestants sing two solos. Ugh. This week was too tough and edgy, but at the same time it was like the edge was made of rubber and kept going in and out very painfully. I doubt it’s really the contestants’ fault.

OMG, Adam & Allison were incredible!!!!!!!!

I think Allison sounded better than Adam in that song.

Btw, its so not fair that they gave A or whatever for Danny but totally dissing Kris for trying to rock out.

Simon SHUT IT SHUT IT SHUT IT! hes so trying to pit the contestants against each other. Im expecting some awkward moments in the Idol mansion tonight.

OMG, they showed Dannys scary last note again. I think Im gonna die

That duet seemed a little too try-hard to me, even Adam. Just a little bit. But overall, I still liked it.

I am hoping against hope that Danny goes home tomorrow. He was TERRIBLE. It won’t happen, though.

Wow, the performance order was really kinda stacked for Adam, huh? The one time he gets 1st, he also gets last. And unexpected, that they recapped Danny’s horrible last note! Interesting… Hey, so were the recaps live tonight since dress rehearsal was canceled?

A&A — I’ve died and gone to heaven……..

Why did everyone sing such old music tonight? Wasn’t there rock music in the 80s and 90s? I bought quite a few rock records recorded after 1979. Seems to me the message sent tonight was rock is a dusty old genre.

How freakin’ cute were Adam and Allison?
OMG I flove them. I really hope she makes it through this week.

Gokey needs to Go! Shock Boot Please!!!!

Adam would of KILLED dream on

Ah, hum. I don’t know what to say about tonight. This Kris fan will think about it while vomiting in the corner over there.

But now we know it *is possible* to do a recap w/o using dress rehearsal footage!

To everyone who was wondering how do you define shrilling. I present to you Danny Gokey.

Adam fans remember last week and vote vote vote! As sorry as I feel for Kris he’s not getting my votes this week

Adam and Allison should be final 2.

Kris showed that he lacks versatility, but my heart goes out to him.

Danny was by far the worst, and it’s no jokey for the karaoke dokey.

Seriously… kris and danny not in their element but praise danny’s dying cat impersonation… PU-LEASE……… and then simon saying he’ll still be safe… BARF.

Kris is tooooooast

Voting like crazy for Allison and Adam.

Gokey needs to GOOOO after that horrendous excuse of a performance. I don’t care if it was his comfort zone or not, it sucked big donkey balls.

Tootles, Kris. Make a great album!

Wow interesting that the judges are pimping Danny yet they showcased his last note…I dunno. Tomorrow will be interesting to see if it’s Kris or Danny. I think it could go either way. Round 1 (duet) goes to Danny & Round 2 (indiv) goes to Kris for creativity and his “imprint” on the song that they talked about. Kris has been always really good at that. *And I will admit, I am a Danny fan.*

Wow, Kris was not only thrown under the bus but it backed up over the poor kid. I didn’t think he was as bad as they made him out to be.

I hope Kris fans are voting their fingers off and don’t believe it is already predetermined by the judges that he will go home.

Gokey needs to Go! Shock Boot Please!!!!

yes please! bye danny.

Danny was ATROCIOUS. And they STILL managed to pimp him. YUCK.

It’s so wrong. Kris is going to go instead of Danny, all because of TPTB and their big ol’ yellow bus.

Danny Gokey owes me one dog, my pooch whined and ran off on that last note. I fear he may never return. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll miss you, patches.

You owe me a new keyboard i spit my soda out on mine.

I stopped watching after Kris got savaged. I’m so furious. If Kris goes tomorrow, so do I.

Oh man the Gokey was awful awful. I’ve gotta go listen to David Cook sing “Man in the Box” again to cleanse my palate.

My cat left the room for Danny.

Epic Fail.

Adam, as a huge Led Zeppelin fan(as in rank behind the Beatles for me as favorite band EVER) I’ve never been happier to see Zeppelin in all its glory on Idol. And I loved it all.

And interesting spin to still have Adam/Allison end the show. I was sure Danny was going to close.

Well TPTB are certainly giving Allison every chance of making it through pairing her with their predetermined winner, Adam. If she doesn’t make it it will be no fault of AI. I hope she makes it too. Kris, Allison, and Adam deserve to be in the top 3 next week. This one awful performance isn’t likely to bump Danny from his perch though.

OMG I have been waiting all season for Adam to sing Zeppelin! I saw Robert Plant sing that and believe me Adam was sooooo close!!!!!

I want an Adam/Allison finale! Holy Moly that was some duet! Danny was definitely thrown under that bus tonight!!!

So ridiculous. An A for effort? What? Kris gave effort and all he got was a friggin’ bus.

I hope Kris fans are voting their fingers off and donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t believe it is already predetermined by the judges that he will go home.

It IS pre-determined. The message tonight was clear: Adam is GOD and everyone else sucks. Nope I won’t vote and put Kris through this another week. They’ll only be more vicious next week.

they diss gokey yet still give him an A ??? don’t break even for gokey, just tell him he sucks and wave goodbye!

Showcasing the duets was great but it’s unfair. This show is really too much.

Kris is not going to go home if we vote! I gotta think he’ll pick up more casual voters with a clever take on a classic than Danny will with whatever it is he did. I think even Danny’s core voters will hate what he did. Whereas many Kris voters will really like what he did.

I think Danny will leave. I HOPE.
Oh man if only Matt had lasted more than Danny. Sigh..

I think Kris will be safe though. His performance was OK but it was better than Danny. JMHO.

A couple of weeks ago when the vocal majority was complaining about Adam being “too theatrical” and “OTT” and bitching about his screaming who told you to go listen to Led Zep to see what Adam is all about?

Excuse me while I pat myself on the back.

Danny’s performance was one of the worst I’ve ever witnessed in AI finals. Will that be enough to send him where he belongs?!?!?!

They might as well have told Gokey, “You sucked, but we would rather have you than Kris, so you get an A for trying…”

Adam and Allison were fantastic. Loved their duet and their solos. Kris and Danny were just left in the dust.

The Danny pimping was really bad. He butchered that last note. A for effor was bs. I didn’t like Kris either, but he was at least better than Danny.

Congrats Simon. You’ve made me hate Adam almost as much as I hate you.

I saw Robert Plant sing that and believe me Adam was sooooo close!!!!!

Yup, it was a note for not kareoke copycat of the original.

don’t tell people how to vote

Vote, Trina. He deserves our support cuz we get him and appreciate his artistry.

Dear Danny,

Please do not try to be Adam Lambert. As you can see….it does not work. EPIC FAIL.

Only Adam can hit notes like that as you kindly proved.

Of all the songs, I never wanted Danny to do “Dream On” I thought that would have been a good choice for Adam, but Danny apparently missed the clue that he can’t do it.

Like was he trying to ride Adam’s horse to victory? I mean I don’t know, it just felt like he wanted to prove he had pipes like Adam, and again, that failed massively.

He goes out of his “comfort zone” to do something else more in Adam’s zone….not sure I get it….

On another note, Adam and Allison’s duet was just such a happy joyous thing making me want them to be in the final two more than anything with Kris rounding out the top 3.

…I loved Adam and Allison even if it did make me want to pretend to be playing Guitar Hero… heh.

Did anyone catch Danny doing the Lenscrafter Heart at the end of the show when they panned a long distance shot of the contestants really quick?! haha. way to go Gokey. parently he doesnt read the net.

I need an Adam/Allison finale. Please and thank you.

“Wow, Kris was not only thrown under the bus but it backed up over the poor kid. I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think he was as bad as they made him out to be.”

right he was hit by a mack truck… forget the bus…

America, you need to pu t the GO in Gokey! He was the worst of the night. I can’t believe the judges throwing Kris under the bus like that! I was screaming at my TV at Simon , who must be an idiot. Its funny because I find myself agreeing with Simon alot but this year, not so much! Kris is a much better performer, vocalist and musician than Danny will ever be!

Voting Allison and Kris tonight!

Did anyone catch Danny doing the Lenscrafter Heart at the end of the show when they panned a long distance shot of the contestants really quick?! haha. way to go Gokey. parently he doesnt read the net.

I know, and someone in the audience was doing it in front of the camera during Adam and Allison’s duet. I thought that was especially strange.

So since Danny is the Vote for the Worst pick, this will make it so he for sure goes home tomorrow!!! Please. That almost always happens. That’s what SHOULD happen.

Okay, I NEVER EVER EVER EVER want to hear again how Adam “screeches,” because Mr. Gokey has just permanently purchased THAT franchise, thank you.

What the hell was he thinking???? That was TERRIBLE, and his response is not, “Oh well, I took a risk,” it was, “Well you judges are no doubt full of it, and I’ll have to listen to it later to decide what I think?”

Wow. Just WOW.

Well if Danny doesn’t go tomorrow night, I can’t see his being beaten. Because if that doesn’t do him in, nothing will.

Vote for Allison!

Not only did she give a great solo performance, but that duet with Adam was KILLER! She does NOT deserve to go home after that! Please, people! Save the rocker, save the season! *Thanks Slezak* XD

Simon is such a dumb banana. You just have to compare everyone to Adam, don’t you? Well then, goodbye Simon.

Wow, I haven’t been this angered since Adam screamed in his otherwise good arrangement of “If I Can’t Have You”. Last week I wanted to have an Adam boot this week, but nah. Personally, if he did get booted I probably wouldn’t care, but after that crap Danny deserves to go. I hate how the judges pimped him, and I do kinda feel bad for the guy, from what they said he doesn’t know how bad it really was. They’re gonna keep allowing the guy to make a fool of himself.

Krist MUST GO! That was beyond awful. The man has no range whatsoever. Even Danny managed to wreck him this week. That was possibly one of the WORST performances I have EVER heard on Idol.

Did anyone see the reaction of Adam’s family after Danny sang? Adam’s dad clapped, but was laughing, and Adam’s mom just sat there, stoney-faced, not clapping or anything! I sensed tension all around tonight, even between Kris and Danny. I think the pressure is really getting to everyone.

But I was happy to see everyone actually ROCK on rock night. And it’s okay, Kris and Danny…you’ll shine next week during the Gospel theme. (j/k; I don’t know what the theme is! But that would be a hoot!)

aww i havent seen it yet cuz im on the west cost!. but the way it look kris is going home.. =((well hopefuly NOT!!)..

My phone is so ready for KRIS! =). sorry danny u should have step it up well thats what i heared.

Well if Danny doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t go tomorrow night, I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see his being beaten. Because if that doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t do him in, nothing will.

No, if that doesn’t do him in, Adam undoubtedly will. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that and he just leaves us tomorrow. My birthday’s tomorrow and it would be a wonderful present.

It’s Top 4 week – historically, the week of the shocking boot! Would Danny getting eliminated be shocking enough? I think so! Ironic, isn’t it, that Daughtry performs on the anniversary of the biggest shocker in Idol history. I want another, and Danny was the worst tonight, fo sho!

All of my votes tonight are going to Kris just like every other week. If Kris goes home my votes will go to Allison next week. Hopefully they will both be there next week.

I FLOVED A-squared’s duet. The chemistry, the vocals, everything.

Okay, I NEVER EVER EVER EVER want to hear again how Adam à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“screeches,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  because Mr. Gokey has just permanently purchased THAT franchise, thank you.

AMEN! I mean WOW. I enjoy Adam’s “wails” but Danny, man, you made me wince in pain!

I actually think my ears bled.

I stopped watching after Simon giggled and declared Danny better in the duet. Way to set Kris up for his performance immediately following.

On reading MJs recap and everyone’s comments, I see that I didn’t miss much.

*sigh*

Wow, I’m actually voting now… first time this season I’ve voted more than 10 times for someone.

Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t forget he has two numbers if needed! 1866436-5702(07). Now Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m dialing and dialing as I have been!!!

03!

Interesting night I guess.

Adam: pretty good but still hate the glory notes that he so loves. Nowhere near as good as the original and a little too much gushing by the judges. Rock god? blech

Allison: I thought she did great, hate the judges sometimes.

Kris/Danny: not a bad choice but Danny was much better. Kris really looked pissed by Simon’s comment.

Kris: a bad choice, didn’t he see Carly do this last season and so much better? He doesn’t have the voice to belt so why even try?

Danny: I can’t believe he picked this after MJ was sent home doing it (and also better). It wasn’t bad until the last notes but not great either.

Allison/Adam: Pretty good but you’d expect them to be good. I much preferred Allison’s parts , Adam was too much as usual. Again judges gush over Adam, lucky for Allison she gets included until Simon calls her “that one”. Nice…

Pretty much hated the judges tonight especially when it came to Allison. Kris should go home, hope he does.

Well i love allison if she goes out 4th.Will be the only time someone gets voted off after a idol “moment”

I know, and someone in the audio was doing it in front of the camera during Adam and Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s duet. I thought that was especially strange.

Lol, I saw that too. I was wondering if Danny snuck into the audience.

I feel really sorry for Danny… oh boy….

what’s is going on with people that are still voting for Danny??can you hear?? yes, is a howl, a scream, nope..is just Danny masacring the last note of “dream on’…
The best so far were Adam and Allison…I LOVED ALLISON, her two PERFORMANCES!!! hey SLEZAK!! SAVE THE ROCKERRRRRR!!!!!!

So worst case scenario, Kris goes home tomorrow, and like Daughtry, puts out a smash record–but Kris will be even better.

I fear that lost in the battle between Kris and Danny fans, Allison is going to go home after being by far the second best of the night…

MJ, seriously Adam playing it safe tonight and holding back
Say Whattttttt? lol

Wish there was a way to vote against a contestant. That’s the only way Danny would ever get any of my votes.

Poor Kris!

How much fun was that?? I loved tonight (other than the Gokey).

For the first time, the jugdes forget to pour the love all over Gokey, and he gets pissy. “I’ll need to go back and watch it”. Yeah, you do that Douchebag. And, he even threw them a “whatever”. What an asshole.

Fucking lameass poseur. At least during the duet, Kris had all of the proper rock star poses ready

Why 70′s rock….because it was the theme for tonight.
Was it fair….yes, everyone has had to sing out of their genre sometime during the last 9 weeks.
Singing order….everyone said Adam had to go first this week because it was his turn. He did. And if anyone thinks that if Adam and Allison would have sung their duets right after their solos and the viewing audience would have stuck around….think again. The producers may pimp to high heaven but they aren’t financial morons.
Song choice….Weird other than Adam’s. Allison was great but a Joplin song is so Joplin. Beatles on rock night…blah. And I now know that it seems very true that Danny’s musical knowledge is pretty scant.
Performance grades solos: Adam A, Allison B , Kris B-, Danny C- (and that’s generous, since most neighborhood bands can sing that song better).
Duets: Oh Kris, I died for you….it wasn’t good, Dawg. And, if I ever have the chance I will personally wipe that overly smug look off of Danny’s face myself. The man is intolerable and as self-centered as anyone I have ever seen on AI, and that includes CM. Adam and Allison: to be truthful I had never heard that song but the chemistry between these two (big bro-little sis) is undeniable and their voices were awesome together. I will be sending some votes Allison’s way tonight. Score: A & A = A , K & D = C and that’s generous.

wouldn’t it be weird (or hilarious) if danny goes home tonight…
two seasons in a row that a contestant got sent home by dream on
hopefully no one’s gonna touch that song now.

Did anyone see the reaction of Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s family after Danny sang? Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s dad clapped, but was laughing, and Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mom just sat there, stoney-faced, not clapping or anything! I sensed tension all around tonight, even between Kris and Danny. I think the pressure is really getting to everyone.

I think I would have had the same reaction as his dad. I couldn’t think of anything to do but laugh.

Daughtry performing on the night of this year’s shock boot (read: Danny)? Yes please!

Adam ruled. Simple as that. If he is pimped it is because he deserves it.

Kris’ time has come. Vocally, he does well; but he is too vanilla.

The A squared duet was a complete set up to save Allison and through Kris under the bus. I actually liked Danny and Kris’s duet better. But by far the worst vocals of the night were Danny’s. The most original vocals of the night were Kris’s. Both Allison and Adam rocked their solos, but then, they are rockers. Right?

Douche Nozzle, Spencer. I humbly submit that Gokey is a Douche NOZZLE. Way skankier than the bag.

“I know, and someone in the audience was doing it in front of the camera during Adam and Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s duet. I thought that was especially strange.”

see idol has set up a sponsor thing with lens crafters now… Danny is perfect for it.. Glasses and what better way than subliminal hand heart signs…

LC: hey make sure that dude who cant sing makes little heart signs with his hands.. make it look like its towards his family… make sure you get a close up of his glasses a few times.. and we got a deal….

What was Allison’s number? I missed it!

I think Kris could have chosen a less covered Beatles rock song and received much better reviews. It didn’t allow him to use his charm bomb and that is his secret weapon. He tried to adopt a sullen “rocker”‘ attitude that seemed unnatural for him. Too bad, he had a golden opportunity to pull ahead of Gokey. I hope his fans can keep him from the boot. I’m voting for the first time this season, and for Allison because she was great and the judges didn’t give her enough credit for her performance.

Loved Slash. A man of few words, but what few words he uttered were spot on.

Adam=shut the f* up! That was all kinds of awesome. He was so misplaced going first.

Allison=this is one of my all-time favorite songs ever. Her vocals were fine, but she lacked the rock-bottom, pathetic, beat-down attitude the song requires. This is a song about a woman in the bowels of despair imploring her man for a smidgen of compassion, but that desperation did not come through in this performance. She sang the hell out of it nonetheless.

Kris/Danny debacle, oops I mean duet=Kris’ thin, reedy voice simply did not hold up. He wins points for his mike stand work though. It’s a sad day when Gokey out sings you, albeit just barely.

Kris=I kind of liked his funkified version of this song, and his guitar playing was the shiz. The Judge Bus is completely ridic and totally undeserved. So wrong in every possible way.

Danny=I’ve been waiting all season for this tool to crash and burn, and now that it’s finally happened I’m actually kind of embarrassed for the guy. And excuse me, but did he attempt to scat in the middle of Aerosmith? WTF? To paraphrase MJ, that last note had my daughter bolting out of the room to check on the health and well-being of the family cat.

Allison/Adam duet=now THAT’s how to do a rock duet Brillz. ETA: Adam’s trousers were scary.

Gokey deserves to go on the basis of that complete and utter desecration, but I fear Kris is out.

what are Adam’s numbers?

Kris:
Oh Mama, I’m in fear for my life…

Yup. Pretty much sums it up.

God bless Adam’s hairdresser. Allison’s hair has NEVER looked better.

Loved Adam .. liked Alison … I knew that Kris would struggle this week .. and I really disliked Danny.

Kris and Danny’s duet was very awkward .. no chemistry at all

Adam and Alison’s song was so much better .. the chemistry was great

Worst performance of the night was Danny but I bet he’s safe.

I hope it’s an Adam/Alison final

Adam and Allison: to be truthful I had never heard that song but the chemistry between these two (big bro-little sis) is undeniable and their voices were awesome together.

Absolutely agree. Loved how they rocked out and hugged each other at the end.

But I guess it’s hard to conjure any sort of chemistry with Gokey. So I forgive you on that one, Kris.

What was Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s number? I missed it!

number 2 or number 6

what are Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s numbers?

number 1 or 5

LMFAO. LOVING DAnny’s last note! It was sooo effin’ bad! I was laughing my butt off for like, ten minutes. gosh. that was priceless =] i was waiting for danny to screw up ALL SEASON! Yesss! :lol_tb: :lol_tb: :lol_tb: :lol_tb: :lol_tb: :lol_tb:

Adam- is the man!
Allison- judges are nuts she was fantastic!
Kris-same deal, judges must be in Paula’s old vicodin he was great.
Danny-that was just awful.

Kris & Danny duet-not great.
Adam & Allison duet- really good.

A couple of weeks ago when the vocal majority was complaining about Adam being à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“too theatricalà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  and à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“OTTà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  and bitching about his screaming who told you to go listen to Led Zep to see what Adam is all about?

Excuse me while I pat myself on the back.

AMEN!!!!!

Wow–tonight was AMAZING! Adam was the absolute best of the night. . .by miles and miles. Wow!!!

Adam canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t win. He opens the show and because of the duets he closes the show. I see the bitching has already begun.

Haha. I am completely uninvested in any of these four and think they all have something to offer, even though I enjoy some a bit more than the others. I don’t much care who wins or who goes out in what order now, just hoping for interesting performances from whoever stays. So I’m not bitching about Adam getting to go both first and last– just pointing it out. IMO, that’s kind of obvious pimpage.

The only one not credited tonight was Kris. He sang beautifully as always. He is consistent and has the kind of voice I never tire of listening to. If ALlison stays it will because of the pairings for the duets. I wonder if we will ever know how that was determined. Anyone singing with Adam on rock night is going to look like a star.

God bless Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hairdresser. Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hair has NEVER looked better.

I need a new hairdresser. Hmmm… lol. Too bad I live nowhere near LA!

number 2 or number 6

So, then why was that Kris fan earlier giving out that number to vote?

How obvious can the judges be about the fact that they want Kris out and Danny safe? Danny was horrendous! That last note almost had my ears bleeding! Danny acted so smug when they hardly criticized him compared to what they said about Kris. A for effort? When do they ever say that for a song that people have sung in the past? He took no risk with that song except for possibly making the viewing audience def. Put the Go in Gokey!!!!!

I feel really bad for Kris. First, he gets stuck with the Oh Holy Hokey One for the duet and then judges run him over with a bus for his solo performance. :\

Allison was awesome. True to who she is as an artist. Adam looked like a movie cliche. I thought he looked kinda ridiculous.

Well if Danny doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t go tomorrow night, I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see his being beaten. Because if that doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t do him in, nothing will.

For real. If he survives that hot mess of a performance, pencil him in for top two. But it doesn’t matter-Adam’s got this in the bag. That point was made crystal clear tonight.

But I guess ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hard to conjure any sort of chemistry with Gokey. So I forgive you on that one, Kris.

When the Kris/Danny duet started, my husband and I commented that it looked like a split screen. They were so distinct; no chemistry at all.

As an OLDER person who has seen both Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin live in concert, I will have to say that Adam and Allison blew me away tonight.

God bless Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hairdresser. Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hair has NEVER looked better.

Indeed! Does this mean they don’t use AI’s hairdressers?

Lordy I hope there is a miracle and Kris gets saved tonight. I want my AAK Top 3.

Again…ALLISON got to go last too! Jesus.

Suddenly getting to go first -hello, death spot?!?- is suddenly something to package with going last in DUET as pimping. Can we try any harder to be pissed at Adam for shit that is beyond his control?

i cant waiot too see 2night!! man im scary kris might be bad! becuase of the the things im reading! awwww i just widh the fans will help him out! i lot i know i will!.. i uust hope danny goes home or at least not kris! hes been doing real so far, just cuz he having a bad night donest mean he should go home 2morrow right??.. HOPEING!! vote of kris!!

I absolutely hated tonight. I was nervous for Kris before the show even began because it was set up for the big voices and not the gentler more subtle talent of a Kris Allen. Then they couldn’t even give him a fair chance in the order. Let’s stick him in the middle for both his duet and then again for his solo. Order matters. Judges reactions matter. Tonight was horrible.

Adam canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t win. He opens the show and because of the duets he closes the show.

Poor Adam? The show is totally rigged for him to win and I’m supposed to feel sorry for him? I’d swear that Simon was getting paid a thousand dollars every time he said Adam’s name.

1) Adam/Allison duet – BEST THING TO HAPPEN ON IDOL STAGE EVER. Although I find it kinda sad that Adam can sing in the same key as Allison. Still, their voices harmonized perfectly. MADE OF PURE AWESOME. 10/10

2) Allison – Rocked it, like she rocks every week, she is a package of KICKASS in a tiny body. Judges need to STFU. HAHA, Simon got PWNED! 8/10

3) Adam – I don’t see him as a contemporary artist, and I would probably never buy one of his records. Still, he does the whole 70′s rock Led Zeppelin thing very well. 7/10

4) Kris – Carly completely owned this song last season. In comparison, his version was kinda boring and very low energy. Still, props for the cool arrangement. 6/10

5) Kris/Danny duet – Danny was totally not better than Kris, what the hell is Simon smoking? Ugh. I’m sorry that Danny had to taint what should have been Kris’s performance. 4.5/10

6) Danny – Michael Johns was better than Danny, and Michael Johns was AWFUL. Congrats, Gokey, for taking MJ’s screech and multiplying the nails-down-a-chalkboard factor by 100! Can you go home now? 2/10

I thought Kris did the best with his solo and that Allison and Adam had the best performance this season. Their duet rocked in every sense of the word.

I thought that Adam sang well but he really did nothing to the song other than hit higher and higher notes. Robert Plant already did that and much better IMO. I just guess I don’t think Adam has a very pleasant timbre to his voice. While I find his range amazing, I don’t find that his voice ever does a thing for me.

Allison’s performance was ok but she really didn’t hit either the high nor the low notes that Janis did with that song. She also doesn’t have the soul Janis had, though I doubt anybody did. I must say that I didn’t find her lack of enunciation to be a problem tonight. Janis didn’t enunciate amazingly either.

Danny was all sorts of awful. Yay! I knew he’d suck ass on that song and he didn’t disappoint. Boo! I’m sure this won’t send him home either.

Kris was lovely. He changed the song more than anybody else and well he just always makes me smile. He doesn’t have an amazing voice but damnit, he makes me smile more than anybody this year.

The Kris/Danny duet was ok for me. I didn’t hate it. I found it very disconnected however. It was like at first Kris was trying to get into being a rocker and Danny was all about the inspirational (blech) worship leader posturing. Their harmonies were lovely however even if overall I found it weird.

The Adam/Allison duet was amazing. They sang with and for each other and they sounded great together too. Yup, this was my favorite performance of the season.

Now my delimma is whether to run off and vote for Kris…He was flattened by the bus tonight and I don’t much like it.

Did anyone see the reaction of Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s family after Danny sang? Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s dad clapped, but was laughing, and Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mom just sat there, stoney-faced, not clapping or anything! I sensed tension all around tonight, even between Kris and Danny. I think the pressure is really getting to everyone.

I could have swore that after Danny sang and they flashed his family they were all sitting while everyone else was standing or maybe that wasn’t his family I have no idea, but when they flashed Danny’s family someone was obviously sitting.

What was Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s number? I missed it!

1-866-IDOLS02 and/or 1-866=IDOLS-06

Allison is probably going home. The three remaining guys have very large fanbases and I think it will definitely be an Adam/Danny finale.

Kris will get the Elliot treatment next week, and we’ll have the preordained Archuleta/Cook redux.

I’ve been supporting both Allison and Kris all season but now the time has come to make a choice and my choice is for Allison. Give her some votes, people! Please!

I love Kris to death, but after the performances tonight, I really think Allison deserves to move on. Not that I think Kris did poorly. Just that Allison really did great.

Of course, if it was up to me, Danny would be out simply on the basis of that painfully atrocious note and both Kris and Allison would be in. But I fear that won’t be the case and either Kris or Allison will be leaving.

yeah shari i agree with all you are saying typing w/ 1 finger

“Was it fairà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.yes, everyone has had to sing out of their genre sometime during the last 9 weeks.
Singing orderà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.everyone said Adam had to go first this week because it was his turn. He did. And if anyone thinks that if Adam and Allison would have sung their duets right after their solos and the viewing audience would have stuck aroundà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.think again. The producers may pimp to high heaven but they arenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t financial morons.”

Adam gets to open AND close the show this week and you think that’s fair–because the producers need to make a buck? Uh–ok.

Adam–not as good as his fans think.
Allison–not enough angst–but she’s only 17.
Kris–good but not great. I hope his fans rally round him.
Danny–trainwreck.

WARNING:

I don’t want people arguing about vote splitting in this thread.

People: Vote for who you WANT. Keep the discussion focused on the show

I thought Kris was great tonight. It was no “Falling Slowly” or “Ain’t No Sunshine,” but it was good. I wonder why he’s kind of been going downhillish these past two weeks. He’s just given fine performances instead of the amazing, out of the ballpark ones he’s done before.

With that being said, I’m going back to voting! KRIS KRIS KRIS!

Adam really rocked it tonight. Now THAT is how you open a show!!

I didn’t care for the duets at all. It would have been better for the contestants to each get 2 songs.

The judges really threw Kris under the bus. Personally, I thought he was the second best after Adam. It looks like I’m not going to get my Adam/Kris finale. lol

Wow, Kris was not only thrown under the bus but it backed up over the poor kid. I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think he was as bad as they made him out to be.

And Kara was driving. Simon was riding shotgun.

Kris looked tired and bummed out. Poor thing.

This whole show is staged. Kris probably didn’t get to choose his duet partner. So he is stuck with someone who has similar singing style as himself. The whole show sucks.

I agree with Randy, I love Allison donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get me wrong but I wish she would of choose something with more melody

I just think that Allison doesn’t have much range. I believe she could have put so much more into that song if she had a range. I love her tone and I think she’s awesome, but I don’t think she could have physically put more into that song. Janis sings that song with a much greater range. I don’t think the song is suspect. I think Allison is.

So, then why was that Kris fan earlier giving out that number to vote?

I don’t know, look up, MJ just put the numbers down.

Againà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ALLISON got to go last too! Jesus.

What are you talking about????
I hope you mean ADAM…

So Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not bitching about Adam getting to go both first and lastà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ just pointing it out. IMO, thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s kind of obvious pimpage.

Isn’t opening the show a bad thing? I have never before heard that it was being used as pimpage.

It might be just me, but I think Kris’s somewhat lackluster performance is more of the fault of the show. I mean, he’s extremely good at arranging songs, but with those instruments, it would’ve been near impossible to make a fitting arrangement for him. So they stick him in the middle, make him duet with Gokey, throw him under the bus. Total way to taser a guy in the crotch.

Poor Adam? The show is totally rigged for him to win and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m supposed to feel sorry for him? Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d swear that Simon was getting paid a thousand dollars every time he said Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s name.

No. The show is rigged for Danny to win. Can you imagine anyone else getting away with screaming like a cat with hardly any criticism??????

It might be just me, but I think Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s somewhat lackluster performance is more of the fault of the show.

Kris gave a lackluster performance. The show didn’t give it to him. I think he’s giving up, personally.

Againà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ALLISON got to go last too! Jesus.

What are you talking about????
I hope you mean ADAMà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

“Too”…the word after Allison’s name is “too.” Unless you saw Adam singing Slow Ride on his own?

I find it ironic that women go to gay men to get their hair done, and a gay man goes to a woman to get his hair done. But, whatever, Allison’s hair looked great tonight.

I can imagine that Adam was good, but I don’t know that song and it’s not my style, so I am just guessing. He’s still my Idol this year. Cannot get through for him.

Danny’s scream at the end was ONE MILLION times worse than any scream Adam has ever done or ever will do. Period.

So disappointed that no one sang any GNR. I mean, with Slash and everything? Come on.

what about the new video mj??
i just can watch the show by your photobucket so far…
because i’m in indonesia, and i have no tv cable…
any idea where i can still watch your video??
please help me…

Isn’t opening the show a bad thing? I have never before heard that it was being used as pimpage.

Honestly, at this point I don’t think it really matters all that much with only four finalists left. I think the pimpage complaints are due to the fact that Adam ended up closing the show anyway with the duet.

P.S. Kara should have gone to Adam’s hair dresser, too. Her hair looked horrid.

Just watching now, up through Kris’ solo. I’ve liked all 3 solos a lot.

Kind of surprised reading this thread how many people rely on judges comments and performance order. I’m not hardcore, but neither of those ever comes into my consideration

OMG Gokey just showed how ridiculuous all the “Adam shrieks” comments are

Randy bullshitting about “not his genre. Please. Country wasn’t Adam’s genre either.There are other options besides being lame or butchering

Adam ruled. Simple as that. If he is pimped it is because he deserves it.

Yup. True dat!! He belonged on that stage with Slash.

If you go first, 2nd,3rd or last at this point,the only thing that matters is your performance, not the order.There are only 4 people left!

Adam ruled, Allison did great, Kris sucked and Danny sucked totally!

Has nothing to do with the order in which they went..It’s just the way it is!

I agree, Hollygo9. But then clearly he doesn’t need my vote anyway, he has already been handed the win no matter what kind of music or voice anyone else prefers. At least last year we had two David’s being pimped. This year has been all about Adam Lambert from the beginning to the end.

Danny plzzzzzzz don’t ever sing DO again! Michael Johns cover was wonderful last year and he got sent home. Yeah Danny… you go listen to it ..it was a trainwreck!! Bye Bye..crossing fingers!

Adam..Allison..Kris top 3

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Tooà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦the word after Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s name is à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“too.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  Unless you saw Adam singing Slow Ride on his own?

Yes I saw it, I just think people are not happy about Adam because he had already twice the pimp spot in the finals and it was just last week.

Isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t opening the show a bad thing? I have never before heard that it was being used as pimpage.

It’s pimpage when you open the show and close the show especially when you just closed the show the week before. YES I know Allison was included too but the fact is Danny has never gone last. Whether you hate him or not is that not true?

MJ, just noticed and tellin ya, you might wanna change foghat to Adam and Allison on your post. Just sayin’.

The Adam/Allison duet was FREAKING AMAZING. Loved the chemistry and it looked they like they were having a blast. They were so cute hugging each other and Adam saying she was like a little sister to him. Awwww.

Adam was the best of the night. His solo rocked, the duet rocked. Fantastic
Allison was solid. Did not care for the song, but she sang it and sang it beautifully. The duet, again, All sorts of awesome.

Kris/Danny- Very underwhelmed with the duet and the solos werent that great either.

I find it amusing that a number of people blogging here who are obviously superfans of the show are all confused and asking for phone numbers.

Folks, the phone numbers have never changed and once you know the performance order, you know the numbers and could vote without even watching the show.

I do not vote, but after tonight, next week is a waste of time. ADAM and ALLISON are the dream F2.

P.S. Kara should have gone to Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hair dresser, too. Her hair looked horrid.

everything about Kara is fail: her hair, her fashion, her career, her ability to competantly judge a singing competition…

LOL Cricket. Thank goodness for redial.

Well since Matt is gone, I’m not as invested in the show, but my daughters are busy voting for Allison. She’s currently in last place on Dialidol, so I hope all her fans continue voting for her. It would really be a travesty if Danny makes it through on that painful performance, and she goes home on one of her best nights!

stop with the voting talk, stick to talking about the show

everything about Kara is fail: her hair, her fashion, her career, her ability to competantly judge a singing competitionà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

Oh man you nailed that Holly. That outfit tonight…it was the Cruise Ship version of the rock Dominatrix look =0

After simon said you just may have helped her(HINT SIMON THE NAME IS ALLISON)stay.Adam said he hoped so.

I kinda wish Adam Lambert auditioned last season. I think he would’ve gone out around KLC’s time. Everyone past KLC would’ve been difficult to contend with.

I don’t care who gets eliminated except if its Kris. If it is, no more reason to watch the show except maybe the finale, and maybe even then, still probably not worth it since Adam and Danny will probably be the finale, even though it really should be Kris/Allison.

AAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH PLEASE can Gokey GO GO now? OMG. That was a perfect, shining example of his singing style taken to its logical extreme. Not only was he YELLING the song, it was out of control, totally out of control yelling, out of tune…eeeeeeeek. Oh and did I say “pitchy?” In several spots. Yeah, out of tune. WAY too forced for my tastes. Just…argh.

I loved Allison tonight! I thought she was really really good, WAY better than the freakin’ judges gave her credit for. That song has melody and range, come on. And some subtly, actually. I really liked her, for maybe the second time this season.

ADAM RULES! YAY! WOOHOO! I thought his “restraint” showed in how much he did NOT move around the stage. I think he just sang the hell out of that song and made some rock faces instead of movin’ around PLUS all of the preceding. Maybe he thought that would make him seem not so OTT. Of course, Simon still finds him OTT! hee. That was funny, Simon, you’re a goof. Adam’s such a natural singer. He’s got that incredible range and CONTROL of the his entire range. Even his wails and “screams” are controlled, in-tune singing, to my ears. Such a contrast to Gokey. Gotta know your limitations and your strengths, boys.

Having the duets WAS kinda weird. Why? Oh well, they were fun. Well OK, Allison and Adam were fun! Awwwwwwww how cute that she went to Adam’s hairstylist! I wanna go with you too, Adam! And so he danced around a little bit during the duet instead of his solo. OK. They were very cute and sounded great together!

Voted for Adam Adam Adam and threw in a few for Allison. I would LOVE to see those 2 in the finale!

At the risk of going against the grain here, I found myself disappointed in this evening’s show. The kids all took old rock songs and either did straightforward acceptable versions (Adam & Allison), milquetoast versions (Kris), or deer in the headlights meets unfortunate end whilst embroiled in a agonizing tangle with a big cat versions (Gokey). And the duets? K&G slogged through theirs with some decent harmonies thrown in, while A&A played it boringly safe. Yippee!!

This is what actually gives AI a bad name. When people trumpet an evening of irrelevance and mediocrity – and claim it as great stuff. But it really wasn’t. I would have liked to see and hear interesting arrangements that brought something new and exciting to the table. This is rock after all. Where was the rebellion? Sorry, but dressing the part just doesn’t cut it, at least for me. Sure Adam was fine with his version of Whole Lotta Love. But, hey, I was a Led Zeppelin fan way back when, and while he did a respectable cover, really, so what? I didn’t hear anything very creative in his interpretation. And, while I agree that he was the best of the evening, for me, that’s not saying all that much.

I’ve increasingly noticed Allison’s lack of range throughout this performance. Her voice has good rock grittiness, but she stayed very close to the lines and in rock, that’s just plain boring. I have to hand it to both Kris and Danny since both of them were clearly out of their comfort range. They tried and both missed their marks, Danny glaringly so, but I applaud their effort. Wouldn’t hand either of them an ‘A’ for that effort though, since they did have choices on what songs to sing and how to make those songs their own, and neither really managed that, IMO.

Oh well. This is one of the few times this late in the show that I’m not voting at all. I’m usually a maniac at this point. But what can I say? Even though I’ve voted for each of these kids at some point in this competition, none of them are moving me to pick up the phone right now.

On a different note, while I enjoyed Adam’s performance tonight, I don’t want to see him do classic rock? What is that about? I kind of agree with Kara about meshing all ages of rock, which would be good. However, I was looking forward to him being my new pop tart. I love good pop music.

Allison was great. I hope she stays.

I need an Adam/Allison finale. Please and thank you.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

Well i love allison if she goes out 4th.Will be the only time someone gets voted off after a idol à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“momentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

It would be a shame if she does..hopefully Kris Allen or Gokey will walk tomorrow!!

SVAE THE ROCKERSZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~

don’t be defensive when your favorite is criticized

I can see it now…..

If Danny gets the boot (and I personally don’t think he should) I can see Ryan telling us no one is going home this week because they didn’t get to rehearse and it wasn’t fair.

Kris’s performance was anything but lackluster. It was beautifully done. His understated performances appeal to a lot of people. It is too bad that the only ones who seem to get our attention are the wailers and screamers. Even though admittedly some wail and scream more on pitch than others. LOL

I watched some of the clips online of tonight’s show before realizing why I’d stopped watching this season in the first place. Gokey crashes and burns- what in the heck WAS that last “note”?- and he gets commended for “effort”? Are you serious? That kind of performance from anyone else would have been severely and utterly slammed. It’s sad just how blatant they’re being about the manipulation this year…my favorite isn’t even in the competition anymore, but I got so mad that I picked up the phone and for the first time, threw votes Kris and Allison’s way. (I thought Allison rocked it, and that duet was killer, but am I the only one a bit worried about her voice? I thought it sounded even more strained tonight. Hope her vocal chords are okay at the end of this.) I’m hoping Kris and Allison get through. Danny, please Go-key. Now. Speaking of originality, that performance had none of it, and speaking of non-melodic songs, that was definitely a prime example (much more than Allison’s). It fell completely flat. I’m not sure what the appeal of him is to the judges/producers. I really do wonder what they’re smoking at times (more like all the time, but whatever.)

Anyone paired with Adam tonight would have been having fun. Anyone paired with Gokey would look strained. Give me a break.

Danny has never gone last. Whether you hate him or not is that not true?

True. If they had stuck to the same format as last year, this wouldn’t have been an issue. I guess they could have had Adam and Allison go right after their performances. Kris was the one who really got the short end of the stick, as he had to perform back to back.

Fair or not though, could you imagine having to close the show with Danny and his crazy performance? Yikes.

everything about Kara is fail: her hair, her fashion, her career, her ability to competantly judge a singing competitionà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I’ll respectfully disagree here. Although I disagreed with Kara’s opinion a few times tonight, at least when she spoke, it actually meant something. As opposed to the parrot and the inchoherent junkie.

A/A duet was fantastic. The fact that Adam has sung 100s of duets probably didn’t hurt, but the thing just sounded right. Hope there’s more of that in the weeks to come

Bwaaah, I knew rock week would suck ass in general. Will say though that it was cool that some new songs were cleared. Slash was the man. How cool would it have been if he had jammed with the band tonight? I miss Rockstar and the House Band. Have I ever mentioned that? I have? Heh. I love me some badass rocker bois.

Danny was gawd awful hideous. Hid. E. Ous. Like, drunk uncle at a bar embarassing you doing karaoke hideous. Michael Johns, you were redeemed mate. I’ve seen that song performed three times on reality shows (MJ, Gokey, that dreadheaded chick on Rockstar) and this was by far the worst. Maybe one of the worst things I’ve ever seen this late in the competition. And that, peeps, is the true definition of pimping in my book- when someone eats pavement and deserves to get ripped a new one and the judges STILL say crap like, “A for effort! I still am a fan!” OMG he tried to do the stare through the camera thing that a certain other singer perfected and sucked at it so badly. GO HOME.

Allison was aight. I still do not think she properly connects to these mature-themed songs, though. Her eyes were dead in the close ups. You know who would have killed this tune? Amanda Overmyer. Or Carly Smithson. Meh. She did not rock hard enough in the solo, but it was decent. I am so jealous that she got to get her hair done with Adam. ANd her boots were the shit, man. Loved those boots. Also, the babble was kinda fun, and I loved her correcting Simon with the musical knowledge. You go girl.

Kris was better than they gave him credit for, that’s fo damn sho. However, I said it before, and said it with love- Kris is not an electric guitar kinda guy. It just doesn’t fit like say Cookie with his Les Paul. He should have avoided the pitfalls and went with something acoustic-y and Beatles-ish, like maybe an acoustic cover of Across the Universe, just him and his acoustic guitar, even though it wasn’t very Slash friendly. That song has already been cleared, too. All in all, he was pretty good. Not amazing, not as good as Carly’s version, but once again my second fave of the night. Dammit Kris, don’t go home.

Adam, gettin the Led out….that rock wail is not as easy to pull off as Adam makes it look. See: Gokey, Danny, Dream On, hilarity. I wanted something more glam from him as I think his Zodiac Club stuff suits him better than power rock, but that was pretty badass and by far by FAR the best of the night in a night where people didn’t rock hard overall. (Still think Cook would have had the edge with Man In The Box if it had cleared, though, since peeps brought up other seasons.)

Duets…

OMG, the long arm of the law song? I don’t think Kris picked that one. *gives Hokey the evil eye* My sig O only listens to music that was popular before he was like a toddler, so he loves our local classic rock station, and they play this song all. the. time. To the point where I know the lyrics by heart even though I had no idea it was Styx who sang it. The jig is up, the news is out, they finally found me, the renegade, who had it made, retrieved for a bounty…see? Arrg, its an evil earworm, that song. So, not a bad rendition of an annoying song. And F.U. Simon, Kris was better than Hokey who shouted over him and looked like a grandpa trying to rock out.

Adison…I’m not the biggest Allison fan, but how cute were they together? Loved it, loved it, loved it. Allison FINALLY came alive. Hell, I would put it on mute and just watch Adam’s pants. Heh. Definitely the best duet, but dammit, I am mouring the Under Pressure with Kris/Adam that never was. *gives Hokey the evil eye again, just because this has to be his doing, she says for no good reason*

I kinda wish Adam Lambert auditioned last season. I think he wouldà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve gone out around KLCà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s time. Everyone past KLC wouldà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been difficult to contend with.

I think he could of won any of the season with the acception of 1 and 4

edit: you need to read my guidelines. don’t question the motives of your fellow posters

If you look at the Raw numbers of Total Votes on Dial Idol Allison is doing way better than the DialIdol Score.

Didn’t get home in time for the first few performances — now that I’ve watched them back….

I’ve been slowly stepping onto the Kris train, but I really jumped on tonight. He really did a good job rocking himself up. And even though I’ve been dreaming of an A&A duet for weeks, I feel terrible for Kris that he got the short straw and got dragged down.

12-car pileup triggered by the Gokey.

Adam was great as usual, and mj is right — he really did play it safe and faithful. When he goes uptempo, I end up just grinning and giggling at the end, like I just got off a roller coaster.

As for Allison….

I really hate Janis Joplin.

I really love Allison doing Janis Joplin.

I soooo hope that she does some blues in the future. My god, that girl is amazing.

Funny they have rock for the night that determines who has a big homecoming — more pimpage for Adam. AI sucks.

YES I know Allison was included too but the fact is Danny has never gone last

….and would have really wanted him to go last ending the show on that trainwreck of a note that my ears are still ringing on?

Last week Simon’s biased criticism stabbed me in the heart, but this week it was more like constant pricks of a needle. It’s a good thing I watch the show for the contestants.

SOLOS:

I’m apparently not a fan of glam rock ’cause despite the fact that I do agree Adam had the best performance of the night hands down, I still laughed at the OTT-ness.

I actually agreed with the judges on Allison even though I love her to death, but I’m annoyed that it’s come to the point that she actually feels she needs to talk back.

Kris must have not been allowed to folk it up given the circumstances. He definitely held his own, but why did you have to pick the song that was my favorite performance from Carly last year? Hopefully his fanbase/amazing past performances/artistry/musicianship/good looks will pull him through. He certainly was better than …

Danny … this song got Michael Johns kicked off last year, and Danny’s performance was a million times worse. LOL at the horror film scream ending the recap.

DUETS:

K/D: I actually enjoyed it for the most part. The harmonies were indeed very good, but yeah, they lacked chemistry for sure. Danny was a tad better than Kris. Poor Kris is totally out of his element this week.

A/A: ROCK IT! At least, if they don’t make it to the finale together, I got what I got the duet I’ve been wanting all season. And I’m gonna say it … thank GOODNESS for the duets ’cause Allison actually has a chance now. She was a ton better in the duet than in her performance, and SHE IS SO CUTE! No personality my ass.

Fair or not though, could you imagine having to close the show with Danny and his crazy performance? Yikes.

To be honest, I think it was better for Gokey that he did not go last with that performance. However, we were reminded of that horrible note in the recaps, so maybe it wouldn’t matter.

I am not a big performance-order freak, especially after Top 8 where we tend to know who is who. Throughout the show I have managed to enjoy my faves no matter where they were. And I didn’t even care for Adam until he did RoF, which was one of his earlier placements. He would stick out wherever he was put.

Adam went first tonight: Hello, this is not a good spot to go on in. No pimpage there. He was fantstic and the judges comments were right on.

Allison: Great song, I thought she did really well. Judges were whack on her comments.

The next three performances were just not that great.

I know some are fussin about *Adam* (Hello, Allison was in the same duet) going *last again*. That hot mess Danny put forth tonight going last? Oh Lord. Or even Danny/Kris duet which was another hot mess.

The right Duet went last and it was fantastic. I would love to have a A & A finale!

My order for tonight: Wow, same order they sang in.

#1 Adam
#2 Allison
#3 Kris

And way down in the WTF was THAT section
Danny

Anyone paired with Adam tonight would have been having fun. Anyone paired with Gokey would look strained. Give me a break.

I thought that they sounded very good when doing the harmonies together but there was definetly something off between the two, their interactions were awkward.

With no DRESS REHEARSAL they had to do live clips to close the show.Gokey’s note was the last thing we saw.That was sad.

OMG Gokey just showed how ridiculuous all the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Adam shrieksà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  comments are

YES YES YES. GOhomeGokey!!!

This is what actually gives AI a bad name. When people trumpet an evening of irrelevance and mediocrity – and claim it as great stuff.

Agree. Even though these are talented people (especially Adam and Allison in this genre), the evening still felt very karoke. Like a very, very good cover band. Gokey and Kris actually had their personalities come through in boring/bad performances while Adam and Allison seemed kareoke.

Who should get my points tonight. Gokey was bad and we’re due for a shocking boot. Allison as the only girl should be fine. Kris has lots of fans.
This is a tough one.

Based on tonight Danny needs to go

Another reason that the first slot was no benefit tonight…the chaos surrounding the dress rehearsal and its cancellation. I give Adam major points for performing so well after that mess.

Bonus points to Adam for getting Allison’s hair done right for rock week. Did he style her too? She looked fantastic, and so cute/age-appropriate. Loved her tonight!!! Save the rocker

I am a diehard Adam fan. I loved Adam’s performance and Allison was good. But I was cringing during the Danny / Kris duet. I was cringing not just because I didn’t like it, but clearly they didn’t like it either. Yes, Adam and Allison were great together, but they’re the best rockers. I felt bad for Kris especially.

It seemed like an unfair advantage to put Adam and Allison together. And do guys really duet??? The guy duet was excruciating and unfair in my opinion.

I totally agree with those who think Kris was treated atrociously tonight. In a way, he sang first AGAIN because every other singer went after him. Plus, he was the only one, probably in the show’s history, who had to sing two songs in a row. And, once again, Simon and Paula are playing with each other during the critique…which is actually better than the, once again, completely useless “critique” from Simon.

No wonder Kris looked defeated. Absolutely EVERYTHING was stacked against him tonight. And I haven’t even mentioned the fact that he was paired with GOKEY! This is absurd. Why couldn’t they each have two songs like every other season, rather than Gokey pulling Kris down. But of course, there is Simon to say Danny did better–immediately before Kris sang again.

I can’t even begin to express how absurd this is to me.

Yup, Simon, it’s time for you to leave.

I hate seeing Allison at the bottom if Dial Idol. Im not getting any busy signals either…

The show (the judges especially) sucked! And someone from ustream said Danny’s last “note” sounded like a cat in a blender. ROFL!!

I honestly could care less if Danny ever gets the pimp spot. If the show ended every week with that amazing duet with Adam and Allison, I would be happy. I mean can you magine ending the show on that horrendous performance of Dream On?

save the redhead!

rbidol. I could not agree more. Still hitting redial for Kris constantly.

Dream on Gokey! LOL, The Gokey scream is epic, epic fail, lol. I love it! I was laughing so hard, I was in tears. I am so ready for a shocker tomorrow, please let Gokey go home.

Adam did fabulous of course and I love his pants. He was styling tonight. Shut up Kara, Adam can make a contemporary album not some fudging 70′s/80′s shit.
He needs to go the “Mad World” and “Feeling Good” route and dance/pop.

Allison was also great. I love her solo, WTH is wrong with the judges, she was great.

Kris, poor Kris had to sing with Hokey, that just sucked. Kris wasn’t bad on his solo but it wasn’t his best. I think he could of done better. I hope America saves
him.

Overall it was a pretty good show. Slash was useless.

Can you believe that they arranged it so that Adam would go first AND last?? Incredible how much 19 wants him. The worst perf spot was Kris’s. He’s the only one who didn’t (couldn’t) change his clothes at all between duet and solo.

It wasn’t Kris’ fault that he got paired with Danny in the duets . . . I keep getting through when trying to vote for Kris. Everyone please vote for Kris and Allison so Danny will leave like he should have weeks ago!!!! Anyone else would have been slammed for that awful performance.

Oh yeah… I forgot to mention that I thought Kris was way better in the duet and that his song was way better than Danny’s. Just my thought.

Adam just gauranteed himself a spot in the finale and Allison probably secured a spot right there beside him. These two are so adorable together. After that duet, I honestly can’t imagine the finale without either of them!

Uh. Danny who?

Agree. Even though these are talented people (especially Adam and Allison in this genre), the evening still felt very karoke. Like a very, very good cover band. Gokey and Kris actually had their personalities come through in boring/bad performances while Adam and Allison seemed kareoke.

I thought that was every bit of Adam’s personality. I’ve always gotten that vibe from him and I’ve wanted him to do Zeppelin for ages now. I felt nothing Karaoke about Adam. Kris on the other hand stayed true to the song as well, just like Adam, but he added his flavor too it. If that was Danny’s personality I want none of it! He thought it sounded good? On what planet?! The only one I really felt sounded karaoke albeit good was Allison.

It’s never going to sound like the greats and as a big Beatles and Zeppelin fan, my two favorite bands respectively, nothing will ever ever be as good as them and I’ve just learned to either love it or hate

LOL, Adam’s vocal performance is increadible!!!
No wonder SImon was a bitch wiith the others after that.

Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s scream at the end was ONE MILLION times worse than any scream Adam has ever done or ever will do. Period.

But two wrongs don’t make a right. LOL

Both of them hurt my ears, just in different ways.

Hey, I’m voting for Kris…I liked his performance tonight, and the fact he could actually harmonize with Gokey and at least make that part sound good. He doesn’t deserve to go home. My order of finish tonight:

1. Adam
2. Kris
3. Allison

4. Danny

I think Slash was useless too. What did he do actually? Just playing the guitar for the sake of the montage? Maybe he did the arrangement but all in all nothing great from him.

Wow, that was an awesome show, maybe they should skip the rehearsal more often…probably the best I’ve seen as far as American Idol goes!! How about Adam and Allison?? I loved how they immediately hugged at the end they looked like two magnets that crashed into each other, lol Allison looked really pretty, loved the hair, loved the singing..Adam was killer as usual although the pants he was wearing during the duet looked very “Beetle juice” ish lol, but the vocals were magnificent and I knew they would be. Can’t wait for them to duet in the future…I’m really looking forward to that AA Finale…I actually thought Danny and Kris’s duet wasn’t bad, the harmonies sounded good, I just think the band was too loud especially for Kris, I thought his head was going to explode the way his veins were popping out of his neck like that during his solo performance, poor guy, but I gotta say he held his own. As for Danny Gokey…how about that SCREAMING??? For all of you that say Adam “screams” I hope that you can tell the difference now…that last note was God awful… now THAT was too OTT, its good that Simon pointed out Adam is the only one who can hit those high notes so well.

THIS!

Oh man the Gokey was awful awful. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve gotta go listen to David Cook sing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Man in the Boxà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  again to cleanse my palate.

hee. NO JOKE! Whew. ME TOO. David Cook FTMFW!

ANYWHO, and Kris was way better than given credit for by those judge people tonight. Please. Really. He sang MUCH better than Danny and the judges still tried to pimp Danny. How embarassing. Gokey, you are NOT David Cook. Or Steven Tyler. Or Michael Johns, whom I heard sing that song live 3 times and each time was better than your attempt tonight. ARGH.

I thought Kris put some Kris Allen spin on that song, which I’ve never liked much actually. I thought Carly killed it last season. BUT I did not even think of her or compare them while Kris was singing. I was listening to him. And I STILL like him and think he is an “artist,” very talented, lots of commercial potential.

I wish it would be Gokey go-go-going tomorrow. I’m voting and hoping!

This is what actually gives AI a bad name. When people trumpet an evening of irrelevance and mediocrity – and claim it as great stuff.

It’s just fun tv. When has it ever been relevant?

Agree. Even though these are talented people (especially Adam and Allison in this genre), the evening still felt very karoke. Like a very, very good cover band. Gokey and Kris actually had their personalities come through in boring/bad performances while Adam and Allison seemed kareoke.

It’s always karaoke. It always has been. I didn’t think Kris was boring tonight at all. I thought he was a lot of fun. And, I disagreed with Simon about the duet. I thought Kris was much better than Danny. Danny just freaking stood there the whole time. At least Kris had the whole rock-star-mike-stand thing going on LOL.

I have never had a problem with Danny until tonight. Oh. My. GOD. What was he thinking?!?!?!? If he stays after tonight it will be highway robbery against whoever undeservedly goes home. Again this is from someone who in the past has liked/been indifferent to Danny. But I LOVED how Danny singlehandedly made a lot of people on blogs all over the Internet feel stupid for saying that Adam shrieks all the time. I think Danny actually might have earned Adam some more respect lol

ETA: tonight, Danny = Sanjaya-esque

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve gotta askà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦how come every other week the first slot has been considered the death spot because everyone forgets about it by the end of the show, but when Adam performs first, all of a sudden its pimpage?

You gotta be GOOD when you’re the first one out of the running gate, no one else has been really good yet, and well, no one else compared and while Adam rightfully deserved to go last tonight(and truly sorta did in duet form) he couldn’t go last two weeks in a row! The pimp spot has been too well known for years now, but man, can you imagine having Danny in the pimp spot tonight and that being one of the last things people see? EEP….

ETA: I always think of the death spot as more second or third place, truly because those are forgettable.

Adam: Robert Plant 2.0, LOVED it!

Allison: rocked it out!

Kris/Danny Duet: had to go to my iTunes library and listen to my copy of Styx “Renegade” to cleanse my palate, sorry.

Kris: Aw, baby…I thought it was really good…just not RAWK.

Danny: my ears are bleeding, thanks to that douche.

Adam/Allison Duet: I can haz Adam/Allison finale, plzkthxbai!

Should go: Put the GO in Gokey.

Will go: Kris *tears*

kris 03/07 SORRY kris fans i messed up before hope you didn’t listen

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve gotta askà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦how come every other week the first slot has been considered the death spot because everyone forgets about it by the end of the show, but when Adam performs first, all of a sudden its pimpage?

It was pimpage because of Simon’s over-the-top ‘no one could top that!’ plus then name-checking Adam during his critique of everyone else’s performance. He’s made me really dislike Adam when I didn’t before. I already despised Simon.

40 minutes more of voting for Kris. I don’t remember being this angry about a show’s order of performance and pimping since the final performance night last year when the judges tried their best to hand the season to Archuletta. Give a guy undeserved criticism minutes before he has to sing his heart out in a genre that is not in his comfort zone even though his performance was impeccable. I hope other Kris fans are voting for him. He got such an unfair hand dealt to him tonight. He does not deserve to go home. How can anyone compare the chemistry between a rock guy and a rock girl on rock night with the chemistry between two very straight guys with two completely different styles. It was such an incredible set up it makes me sick. Unfortunately the only thing I can do is vote. And, I am voting.

The Adam/Allison duet was the highlight of the season for me.

Who is voting for Danny Gokey? That was horrific.

I wish they’d paired Adam up with Danny to knock Danny off the show for good.

Kris was ok but Danny made him look great, in comparison.

I’m still doing the points system for DI Geo and it aligns with their predictions.

Adam 89
Danny 211
Kris 268
Allison 296

The less points, the better.

I’m getting through on Adam’s numbers consistently for the last 1.5 hours. This is scaring me. I hope the west coast votes for him.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve gotta askà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦how come every other week the first slot has been considered the death spot because everyone forgets about it by the end of the show, but when Adam performs first, all of a sudden its pimpage?

Consistency check, pleaseà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I *think* the pimpage is they never put Adam in the first slot, but when they did tonight, they still let him sing last (with Allison). But he did great, I don’t really care about the order (and AI) anymore. Not after tonight.

I LOVE Allison, she’s my fav! and she really needs votes tonight!!! =) VOTE!!!

anyway

I love the fact that she finally talked back! I’ve been waiting for her to defend herself for the last like 3 weeks! she needed to show America who she is!! … GO ALLISON!

Thanks wordnerdarchie!

I think the Adam/Allison duet is one of my favorite Idol performances EVER.

I can’t wait to download it and get it on my iPod !!!!!

It was SO much fun watching them together!!!!!!

Please let them be safe. And Kris too.

Agree. Even though these are talented people (especially Adam and Allison in this genre), the evening still felt very karoke. Like a very, very good cover band. Gokey and Kris actually had their personalities come through in boring/bad performances while Adam and Allison seemed kareoke.

Agreed. The only part I liked tonight was when Kris and Danny were harmonizing in their duet. The rest…meh. Disappointing night.

I had to teach tonight and my students actually expected me to lecture through my whole 3 hours. The nerve. hee. Anyway…

Just watched some video of the performances only (didn’t see the judges comments).

DAMN. I watched Whole Lotta Love about 50 times. That was amazing. Cannot WAIT to download that one!!!

My rankings:
1. Adam. Freakin’ amazing. His best to date. 98 points only because no one’s perfect and I rarely give 100′s (ask my students).
{gap}
2. Allison – She was really good. That is one incredibly hard song to sing – for those who deride her lack of range, I hope you’ll try to hit those notes in full chest voice. Not easy. And she more than held her own in the duet with Adam. I think she would have KILLED Grace Slick “Somebody to Love” but she absolutely deserves to move on to top 3. 80 points, 90 with duet.
3. Kris – Surprisingly good. Don’t get me wrong, I love Kris, but this is not his “genre”, and that is what I mean by surprise. His performance and vocal was good in both solo and duet. 75 points, 80 with duet.

And, I am not a hater but…

{MASSIVE MASSIVE GAP – LIKE A MARIANNA TRENCH SIZED GAP}

9999999. Danny – Ouch. It was merely “not great” until the end, at which point it turned, in the words of Lewis Black, into the sound of chaos. Pigs were being slaughtered. 5 points (out of 100) for the duet.

Again, not a Gokey hater. I even bought last week’s studio (which is really good, BTW). But if Gokey’s performance cracks double digits on WNTS I will be shocked. And more than a little angry.

As far as the pimp spot goes…I don’t even think the duets were really meant to be judged on anyways. They didn’t include their numbers when they sang, nor was it in the recap at the end. Honestly to me, it just seemed more like filler for show. I rarely see people taking tally on how many solos the idols get during the group performances.

In the end, the Adam/Allison duet was a great way to close it (especially after the Gokey disaster).

After that duet, I honestly canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t imagine the finale without either of them!

That would be awesome..I hope Kris or Danny walks to tomorrow.

Kris’s placing order of [erformance is the most “pimped” excuse for a bad performance ever!. I thought he sucked, end of! But Danny sucked worse, so i hope one of them walks tomorrow

How bad was Danny tonight?

Put it this way, had he thrown that performance of Dream On down during the audition show, he doesn’t even make it to Hollywood. We might even have thought him of those clueless types that make the auditions so cruelly enjoyable.

No one is mentioning, much, Allison’s “talking back” to Simon…

I’m glad Adam & Allison went last… their duet was awesome. It cleansed my ears of the sound that nearly killed my cat. She’s still hiding. She was horrified. My husband was laughing his ass off and then felt bad for Gokey… ugh. I mean, I guess good try? But WHY even attempt that song? Or that part of the song? It felt like… I don’t know. You knew they were coming, you knew he’d do it. So it felt like maybe you were heading for a cliff and your brakes didn’t work and… EEEEEEEE!

I thought Adam was fabulous. His range is just nuts and you could tell he was having a blast. I swear he sucks all of the energy out of the room, I’m not so sure he should go first!

Allison I think could’ve picked a better song (for her, I love me some Joplin so the song itself is fine!)… but she is such a great little singer and she looked fabulous tonight. Hooray for Adam’s hairdresser lady! I would like to borrow her, please.

Then the Kris/Gokey duet… it was weird. Their harmonies *were* really nice. Then the solo parts, not so much. I actually agree that Danny sung the solo parts better, Kris just was off tonight, a bit flat I thought. He looked so sad, it just was a tough night for him. Well, let me say that Gokey sounded better for parts of it – then he started doing weird runs all over the place and… it just doesn’t go with rock, dude.

Then sad-faced Kris who looked much like a kicked puppy did his solo… I didn’t like the beginning. I thought he looked overwhelmed. But when he got to the really cool bridge that he added… then it was good from there on out and he didn’t deserve quite so harsh comments on the judging. If he hadn’t improved it at the bridge, yeah. Before that point, it just wasn’t so good. But he saved it at the end.

Gokey, Gokey, Gokey. I am not a Gokey-hater, at all, he just isn’t my favorite. But… yikes. As soon as he started… it just wasn’t going to work. There were weird little riffs, and then the last notes… ouch. Ouch! I got a laugh out of how they couldn’t even pimp him but had to come up with platitudes like… A for effort! We still love you! Poor awkward Gokey. Something about his facial expressions… I dunno.

And that Allison/Adam duet, again, was just awesome. They sounded great, they looked great… it was a great way to close the show. I think whoever dueted with Adam was going to be fine, he doesn’t seem to be the type of guy to try to overpower his duet partner. And let’s face it, he could… nobody has that range.

So, I loved Adam & the A/A duet… liked the bridge on out of Kris’, meh to the Kris/Gokey duet, and then poor Gokey tried to murder my poor evil old cat.

edit: dial back the defensiveness. everyone is entitled to an opinion

But if Gokeyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance cracks double digits on WNTS I will be shocked. And more than a little angry.

I CAN NOT wait for the ratings to come out.

GwendolynD May 5th, 2009 at 9:49 pm

It might be just me, but I think Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s somewhat lackluster performance is more of the fault of the show.

Kris gave a lackluster performance. The show didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t give it to him. I think heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s giving up, personally.

i thought kris could tell what the show was doing to him from the get go this week and don’t think it was lackluster by any means!!!!!

Oh Danny that was BAD! It was so bad it was funny! Sure wish he would have picked something more suited to his voice and avoided that trainwreck!

Of course Adam won the night,Kris tried (bless him), but he was out of his element. Allison, although I love her voice, was just ok. She was trying way too hard.

The duets IMO I thought Danny/Kris was more enjoyable. I don’t think they got enough credit for that, and that was rotten of Simon to say Danny was better. Felt sorry for Kris.

Great harmony and I didn’t get a disconnected vibe or no chemistry between them. I think it was just very nervewracking what came across, the pressure they are under and to have to perform a duet.

I enjoyed it more than Adam /Allison duet. They were much more comfortable and its their genre,but I didn’t enjoy their singing too much.

Also would like to say that when Danny does that heart sign, its just a little signal to his fans. They asked him for a sign to call out to the fans.
One more thing I have to say is that I don’t agree Danny is smug in the least. He just smiles alot, its not arrogance, its niceness. I think he is really misunderstood.
I think Allison will go home.
This rock night was definitely not as good as I thought it would be.

The first spot is a pimp spot when there are few contestants. It sets the tone for the night and there aren’t that many singers before the end that the performance gets lost.

Kris = not painful, at least not to my ears. I loved the southern spin he put on Come Together. I don’t think Kris is going anywhere. And yeah, also have to give props to Randy for noticing what he did on guitar. Love him or hate him, the show wouldn’t be the same without him.

Gokey did great in the duet but Dream On…now that was painful.

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦..Oh there it is! Ha! The rock wail lives.

Hell yeah! As usual, Adam delighted once again.

Allison – WHOA it’s on. Brilliant. I think she out-rocked the lot of them tonight. She’s got it. Man no offense to Janis, but I liked her version of Cry Baby better. I was going to power vote for Adam, but there was no way I couldn’t vote for Allison too.

But I LOVED how Danny singlehandedly made a lot of people on blogs all over the Internet feel stupid for saying that Adam shrieks all the time.

No, I still hate Adam’s scream. At least Danny’s was LOLbad, but I do have to agree that it was a lot worse.

Ahh, this is gonna be a bad week. Kris is probably going home on a terrible night of performances where he is basically treated like crap.

sunchick – I love the way you write. You remind me of a friend of mine who was a disc jockey in his day.; clever, witty. I miss him. You brought back good memories.

LoveU

No one is mentioning, much, Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“talking backà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  to Simonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I dont think it was talking back.Was more like i cant win with you simon.I dont talk you bitch i do talk you bitch.Allison should of said i think you need to get some fast.

No one is mentioning, much, Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“talking backà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  to Simonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

It didn’t bother me at all. She finally stuck up for herself, in a polite and humorous way, after taking weeks of shit from Simon.

Unlike Gokey, who’s been stroked by the judges for mountains of mediocre, and the first time his ass isn’t liked, he gets all snooty.

There’s a way to talk back, and a way not to. I can’t really explain it, but I know it when I see it.

Plus, I thought Allison’s performance was fabulous, and Danny’s was crap. So, if you’re going to talk back – ya’ gotta be able to back it up with something (and I mean something that isn’t a cat-killing scream).

They’ve had the bus aimed at Kris ever since the iTunes popularity rankings came out. No one is going to stop them from getting their Howler Monkey vs Screech Owl finale.
This is how Anoop fans felt all season. I get it now.

If Adam didn’t get the first spot and Kris or Allison had to go first again, people would be complaining. And now that he finally gets the first spot, people still seem angered. I don’t think he can win really. Haha.

OK, I just watched it through TIVO.

Adam was Adam. He did what he does well.

Allison did a great job,– seemed nervous,

Kris did a good job, although he is out of his comfort zone in rock.

Danny was awful. I am not a Danny hater– the song was too much for him. Adam would have done well with that. The judges were way too kind, because they want him to stay. My two young adult kids, who were watching it with me were dying during Danny’s song.

Adam gets the green on Dial Idol.

That song that Allison sang is full of angst and misery. Allison’s voice was good but she doesn’t have the heart and soul of a Janis Joplin to do justice to the song. She is just too young and doesn’t have enough life experience. I think one of the few things Simon said tonight that made any sense at all was that part of his critique of Allison. Although overall, he was way too hard on her.

Adam gets to open AND close the show.

Wow.

As far as the pimp spot goesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even think the duets were really meant to be judged on anyways. They didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t include their numbers when they sang, nor was it in the recap at the end. Honestly to me, it just seemed more like filler for show. I rarely see people taking tally on how many solos the idols get for the group performances.

In the end, the Adam/Allison duet was a great way to close it (especially after the Gokey disaster).

In the end, it was a great way to refresh the viewer’s memory of the first performers, erasing the competitive handicap of going first.

God, Simon’s comment after the okay-first duet was totally uncalled for. Who says it was a competition between the two? That was a little disgusting for him to raise Danny up like that when he didn’t deserve it.

I personally just sort of half listen to the judges blathering on… sometimes they say something that I agree with and I nod… but they really have no impact on who I vote for. Actually quite often the judges’ portion is when I go put my laundry over . I refuse to allow them to turn me into a lemming… I will not go off the cliff, Simon, even if you say so. Threw votes at Adam and Allison for me & hubby both. Don’t remember the last time we agreed on something… he likes the Dallas Cowboys, I like the Redskins… he likes the P’burgh Pens, I like the Capitals… hehe. But #1 Adam, #2 Allison is how we roll at the Silks house!

Right on target, Suzanne. So in effect, Danny went last solo, and Allison and Adam got to close the show. Who is left as odd man out? The only one with any originality on the show tonight who got paired with the worst singer left in the competition. 17 more minutes to vote for Kris.

THANK YOU so much for the updates! :thumbup_tb:
You rock, just as the Idols did tonight.
I’m quite afraid for Kris. I hope he doesn’t get the boot.
He’s my favorite.
Oh btw, how come your videos are on Yahoo! already? I hope you could upload them on Photobucket too. Making your album private I think would help.
Thanks again for doing a wonderful job MJ! :clap_tb:

Danny that arrogant douche bag standing their like he was the messiah when the judges were speaking….only you danny would think you didnt suck tonight…you lucked out with that vocal tone but apparently your tone deaf

adam is green on dialidol.. start power voting for allison if you can!!!!

Right on target, Suzanne. So in effect, Danny went last solo, and Allison and Adam got to close the show. Who is left as odd man out? The only one with any originality on the show tonight who got paired with the worst singer left in the competition. 17 more minutes to vote for Kris.

You’re too right. And this makes me depressed.

re: renegade,

And F.U. Simon, Kris was better than Hokey who shouted over him and looked like a grandpa trying to rock out

THANK YOU SUNCHICK 11!!!! I thought I was the only one in the WORLD who thought this!!!

Man oh man, Danny sucked ass tonight. (is that ok to say? lol)

For everyone that’s whining about Adam’s pimpage, good lord how can you not be upset that Danny got praised for basically shitting on the stage? You know we joke about that sometimes, but it actually happened tonight. One big steaming pile ‘o Danny crap.

*sigh*

I got home from the hairdresser in time to vote my fingers off for Adam. Turns out my hair goddess is also an Adam fan, so we got me cut & highlighted, and I flew out the door with wet hair. So worth it!

Or powervote for Kris if you can. He had the most unfair situation tonight and deserves our support. Allison was handed a great advantage by being paired with Adam the Messiah in the final song of the night.

Letting a Judge à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“makeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  you dislike a singer is just as ridiculous and voting like sheep for who they tell you to vote for.

EXACTLY! what I was trying to say.

Okay, let me wax Simon-like for a second. Most Kris fans are either 13 year old girls or older women of arrested development. Most of the “poor weetle Kris” comments go unresponded to because people don’t wish to break their precious school-girl hearts.

Now, to re-visit my “how bad was Danny” post, he was apparently soooo bad that even the Gooney4Gokey fan base is too ashamed to defend him tonight. He should be happy he didn’t go last as it was not an image you’d want remembered.

lg said “Gokey did great in the duet but Dream Onà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦now that was painful.”

Huh? Gokey was awful in the duet. He was flat, off pitch, and just all over the place. I couldn’t believe Simon said he was better than Kris. He wasn’t.

And F.U. Simon, Kris was better than Hokey who shouted over him and looked like a grandpa trying to rock out

THANK YOU SUNCHICK 11!!!! I thought I was the only one in the WORLD who thought this!!!

Nope, not the only ones.

To me, Adam really was amazing tonight, and I thought Allison was FANTASTIC. I love what Kris did with his song, and I thought he was the only one rocking anything in his duet with Danny. But, since Danny is made of teflon, and seems to have put a spell on America, I voted some for Kris. Danny clearly should be the one going home, but that isn’t going to happen.

how come when it comes to gokey, the judges tend to sugar-coat everything they say even if it was a horrible, horrible performance? OH.MY.GOD. that annoying scream at the end of his song was like a cat being skinned alive!! and yet again, he still gets pimped by TPTB. *shites*

With everything that went on before the show.Debbie getting hurt(hope shes ok)things breaking,glass everywhere.I think they did good.Hope idol backs danny when the lawsuits come in for all the pets he killed.Peta is coming after you danny. :gulp_ee:

8 more minutes to vote for Kris. Good thing, I really have to pee. Oldtimerz, do you know me or my age???

Here we go:

1> Adam…very little needs to be said. Slash gave good advice to not soar into too high a range and Adam listened. Super job.

>HUGE GAP Kris(tie) ….He did a nice job. I loved the guitar. He lacked a couple of power notes to get him over the top.
2>Allison(Tie)….she had a weak beginning and never really got the big emotional wail in the song. It wasn’t bad, it just was a good, not great, job.

>HUGE GAP Danny…”Mr Pitch Perfect” was aweful before the slasher movie scream. The terrible scream was woeful. He clapped for himself and said “I’ll have to listen to it back” All singers know when they screw up, so it was a pretty dishonest statement.

sunchick: Allison was aight. I still do not think she properly connects to these mature theme songs, though. Her eyes were dead in the close ups. You know who would have killed this tune? Amanda Overmyer. Or Carly Smithson. Meh. She did not rock hard in the solo. She does not have the emmotional abandon to pull off that song.

Aside from the fact that (IMO) Amanda doesn’t belong in the same building with Allison, and Carly, well, maybe…. and aside from the fact that I think Allison would explode if she connected to her songs any more….

What really hit me is the “dead eyes” comment. The person who had dead eyes tonight was Danny — it was really stunning how it was as though he wasn’t even there. Maybe he was trying to zone out and not hear his own horrific suckage.

No one is going to stop them from getting their Howler Monkey vs Screech Owl finale.

ROTFL!! This cracked me up!

Gokey crashes and burns- what in the heck WAS that last à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“noteà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ?- and he gets commended for à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“effortà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ? Are you serious? That kind of performance from anyone else would have been severely and utterly slammed.

This had me voting for Allison and Kris all the way from the Philippnes and the great thing is we get to vote until the West Coast closes, but I digress. I swear if TPTB get their stupid Danny/Adam finale I am soooo going to root for Danny to win this contest. They want Danny, they better be ready for him to win this whole show and let’s see where he ends up after Idol is over. I’m betting Taylor Hicks 2.0, except this time, it was TPTB’s fault.

I really don’t care for Adam- but that duet with Allison was fantastic! And, def think Danny needs to go.

I just wonder if they’ll do another bottom 3…

Preliminary ratings on What Not to Sing are up now.

http://www.whatnottosing.com/

So far Danny is at 10 (out of 100). At least he broke the double digits.

I love Kris but I thought Danny was a little better on the duet, based on his voice not who rocked the stage. Danny’s solo, OTOH, ouch! I have no idea what possessed him to pick that song. He did not choose wisely.

I rewatched with my hubby…his first time to sit and watch…I knew he would enjoy the Classic Rock, being a child of the 70s. He agreed Adam was the best…he was impressed with his solo…who wouldn’t be? He liked Kris and Alison…did not like Danny. BTW, my hubby is a church minister..and I told him that both Kris and Danny were worship leaders. Yet, he still agreed that Adam was the best tonight. I told him that speculation on the internet was that Danny would do well in Christian music. Hubby, who used to work in the Christian music industry, said “Nah, he will just be a worship leader!”

I just can’t wait until tomorrow. Adam has to be safe and so does Allison. Danny should go. Kris is so much more original than Danny. Kris was better in the duet and his song was better too.

Random Post From Tara!

So it was like re-living Chris Daughtry tonight….only better. Kinda.

Whole Lotta Love-Chris D. performed during the tour. Adam was better, though Chris was kinda awesome.

Renegade: Kris/Danny kinda sucked. One of my fave Chris performances from his season.

And speaking of Daughtry……their new song it up and playing on the website. It’s freakin catchy as heck.

I actually voted for the first time this season. Good job Adam!

Yeah, rewatching – do they cut to Danny’s family after he sings and they are just sitting there? lol.

In the end, the Adam/Allison duet was a great way to close it (especially after the Gokey disaster).

Fantastic, and I bet this duet will be included in the tour. They rocked the house! Both Adam and Allison deserve to be in the finals. I like the brother/little sister vibe.

Indeed, AI will be seeing $$$ with Adam, regardless if he is the winner or runner-up. I personally think he should win!

I really do like Kris’ choice of song. I’ll give him credit for giving it his best shot. I would love to see him in the TOP 3; however, Danny’s fan base will be working hard to make sure Danny doesn’t go home.

Danny’s song was one of the worst rock-type songs performed from all the seasons. And yet he questions the judges’ critique instead of keeping his big mouth shut. Yet another side to his personality. About the duet, I wondered if they had Kris’ mic a bit lower so Danny would stand out?

Should go home: DANNY
Will go home: (probably) Kris

And now that he finally gets the first spot, people still seem angered. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think he can win really. Haha.

Well, I am a little pissed off about that, but it’s not Adam’s fault. Definitely think the show has protected/promoted Adam over others.

What I thought was very telling in the duets was how the two supposed “front runners”, Adam and Danny handled them. Adam sang the duet as part of a team, Danny sang it like a solo.

I know it’s difficult for two guys to interact with each other on a serious duet song but Danny started showboating half way through by waving his arms and pointing when the song didn’t require that.

The last note of each duet was very telling .. we all know that Adam has the vocal chops to totally go OTT on a last note and take all the glory, but he kept it understated and concentrated at harmonising with Alison to keep it a team effort. Danny on the other hand started to do all these vocal gymnastics while Kris was just singing the last note normally.. so Danny was totally going for the attention.

To me Adam was a generous duet partner, adapting his performance to have equal standing between the two of them. Danny was selfishly trying to outsing Kris.

Why the hell is VFTW telling people to vote for Danny, you would think they would pick Allison or Kris

Theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve had the bus aimed at Kris ever since the iTunes popularity rankings came out. No one is going to stop them from getting their Howler Monkey vs Screech Owl finale.
This is how Anoop fans felt all season. I get it now.

Yeah thats how I felt, but it was hard seeing them do that to Kris. It wasnt his best performance but it was 10 times better than Gokey. Kris is a threat to the preordained 2 contestants.

oh, and i forgot to mention about gokey’s dreadful threads. like, hellooooooo … it’s rock night, for crying out loud!! what’s with the purple shirt and vest which is so un-rock?? and the chain necklace and bracelet on him? dude, gokey looked like a dirty old man! *but if adam, anoop, matt or kris wore something like that, i surely wouldn’t mind*

and that cotton-mouth voice of his? what a false voice!! have you noticed that when he sustained some of his notes, they were coming off too thin — a stark contrast from his growly tone — which means that his voice really ain’t that strong to begin with. and yet again, he gets pimped for doing a good job. *cripes*

am not really a gokey hater but right now, i’m really hating him. hahahaha!! i guess i AM a gokey hater oh, well. ever since he started making that heart shape thingy with his hands when ryan announces the numbers to vote for gokey, he has started to annoy me. BIG TIME.

am calling out to the universe right now to please, please conspire with my desire that danny gokey goes home tomorrow night. after that horrible, horrible, horrible performance tonight, he reaaaaaally deserves to be sent home packing.

I beg you, Lord.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m still doing the points system for DI Geo and it aligns with their predictions.

Adam 89
Danny 211
Kris 268
Allison 296

The less points, the better.

OMG, facepalm, America. Who is voting for Danny even after THAT??? And Allison in the bottom is a travesty. Anything other than Danny going home tomorrow night will be a travesty. Hopefully Allison will pick up California once we get to vote. Even though that means Kris goes home. Sigh, I hate tonight.

If Adam didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get the first spot and Kris or Allison had to go first again, people would be complaining. And now that he finally gets the first spot, people still seem angered. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think he can win really. Haha.

No, people aren’t mad that he got the first post. People are angered that he ALSO got the LAST spot.

Huge difference.

Allison was the best or second best of the night, and she wasn’t overpowered by Adam in their duet, and come on people Adam was singing his butt off and Allison wasn’t overpowered at all, they both have strong voices.

I hated Danny tonight, he gave a crappy rendition of Dream On and in the duet he never even look at Kris. Kris was looking at Danny in some points like hey we’re dueting but Gokey tried so hard to overpower him that the result was a messy duet.

Plese save Allison, I still don’t get why people isn’t voting for her, she has great stage presence, always sings in pitch, has given some of the most strong performances, she’s a sweet girl with tons of potential.

Well, hopefully DI is wrong (again) and either Danny or Kris are sent home tomorrow (Danny please, but I think only in my dreams).

And I don’t mean this in a negative way at all (I actually think its kind of cute)…

But tonight did Adam and Allison kind of remind you of one of the characters in Guitar Hero? I guess it didn’t help that Slash with there too. Haha. But I couldn’t stop thinking that during their duet.

Well that’s it. I did everything I can. Hopefully it was enough to save Kris for another week. Adam is going to win the competition. There was never any doubt and I don’t think it makes a hill of beans worth of difference that he was in the bottom two last week. The only real question is who will be in the final with him. From what I understand both of the finalists get a recording contract. That is why I am pushing so hard for Kris. Allison is just barely 17. She will have lots of time to pursue her dream. She is wonderful and no doubt will have a great career in music. She is incredible for her age or any age in terms of voice. I loved Carly but I think Allison is better. I don’t see Danny having any kind of career outside of possibly Christian rock. He doesn’t have a distinctive style and tonight was just horrible. I would love for Kris to sign a recording contract. I love his voice and think he could be very successful. If Danny goes home, not going to happen, either Allison or Kris are about equal in talent to make it to the finals. It just depends on what you like. Kris has the musicianship as well as creative edge, but Allison has the more powerful voice. At one time I would say Kris had the likeability advantage, but I am really liking Allison, too. She handles herself very well for a young girl. Kris uses that killer smile to his advantage even when receiving negative feedback. Neither of them will beat Adam if it comes to that. Danny is the one who should go, but TPTB seem to have a lot invested in him. That is unfortunate, in my opinion.

What I thought was very telling in the duets was how the two supposed à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“front runnersà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , Adam and Danny handled them. Adam sang the duet as part of a team, Danny sang it like a solo.

karenw, Word to infinity power!

whatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s with the purple shirt and vest which is so un-rock?? and the chain necklace and bracelet on him? dude, gokey looked like a dirty old man! *

LOL – I forgot about that ridiculous necklace he was wearing. That was hilarious. But, I must say, as much as Mr. Spens and I enjoyed both of Adam’s performances, Mr. Spens did have many a chuckle over Aam’s pants during the duet. He literally LHAO, and said – only a guy with huge talent could ever get away with those pants.

There were some loony fashions tonight, but I did LOVE Lava Girl’s new hair. Whoever Adam took her to did a fantastic job. I thought she looked just adorable.

I managed to vote 2 straight hours for Adam despite being partially dead from the cuteness of Adison duet. ♥

SpenserJ (wasltp) after your thoughtful rant, it becomes more obvious why you are my heroine.

Aw, thanks MrRJ. You are too kind.

Last week Danny said he was trying to watch other contestants to learn. Well buddy, you watched but you didnt learn. You can’t hold a candle to Adam, so quit trying to copy him. I almost feel sorry for Danny, I said almost. Allison was great, and the Duet with Adam, how awsome was that. I wonder who picked that song. Kris, well poor Kris got the screws, but hope you pull thru buddy, you have had a great run.
Adam, what can you say, after everyone else he’s a Star. You gotta wonder how this whole year has been set up for Adam, Top Four and ROCK WEEK???? Built for Adam. Gotta wonder what is going on behind closed doors. :clap_tb:

Gotta get back to voting for Kris.

I also liked the suggestion that a duet should be on both albums. Allison and Adam were terrific together!

Anyone get the idea that Slash did not enjoy his session with Danny? How telling was it when he said must get that last note. Sorry, but Danny screeched his way through that mess!

Gotta love the redhead! Janis Joplin was a perfect choice for her! I liked the idea of Allison playing Janis in her bio film. It’s been in the works for nearly 8 years. I believe her sister is to be a co-prouducer. Plus, there is a resemblence between the two of them.

You know I was gonna wear Adams duet pants tonight. It is a good thing I didn’t. Gosh that would have been strange. I am suprised Kara didn’t say he was a “package” artist……

Tonight’s episode was epic… one of my favorite episodes of the season.

Highlights
1) Allison is meant to be in the Top 4. I loved her solo and I loved her duet and she is wonderfully pretty today. This is really the first time I can see a wonderful AA finale.

2) Adam making a comeback after last week and still stays true to who he is, loving every second that he can rock it out on stage. He was definitely happy with his performances.

3) Adam and Allison chemistry was overwhelming. Adam did really tone down his vocals for Allison. Except at the end, Allison didn’t have enough power to hold the note as long as Adam. They were both genuinely happy, for their performances and for each other. I really see the hug that they had to be something impulsive. “Good one baby” he said , “I know right” she replied. But it’s a gut, emotional reaction that they had after their performance.

4) Danny’s finish… I was dreading hearing it since it was so horrible with Slash and co, But at the same time I was anticipating it. See… that’s a scream. That I can do also (the last note I mean). I can’t do the “screams” Adam does.

Ok. East Coast’s voting is over.

Here is the updated points system for DI Geo. A little bit different in rankings.

Adam 102
Danny 214
Allison 320
Kris 372

Some very fervent voting for Allison at the end. Now it’s up to the West Coast.

THANK YOU MJ for such a quick turnaround on the videos despite losing your photobucket. The titles of your videos are fantabulous, and gave me quite a few laughs.

Watched the mentor packages and the judges comments…. Slash was great. My favorite Slash moment was when he delivered feedback on Danny: “It could go either way”. And I think he was laughing a bit, there.

I couldn’t bring myself to listen to that again but I did watch the others again. Whole Lotta Love is still awesome. Slow Ride is also. I loved watching the interaction between Adam and Allison – very genuine and very cute. Kris really did well.

@glamadamfan – I said Gokey was great but in the context that it was great compared to his solo performance. Even tho I do think he edged out Kris on the duet, Kris’ solo song was far superior to Gokey’s. I was actually pretty impressed.

Allison ownz Danny and Kris combined. Pretty please let us have an Adam/Allison finale!

I’m just watching the videos now, and not reading the posts yet.

Damn you, Gokey. I was right, you overpowered Kris. This sucks!!!!!!!! Kris is way more cool than you any time, any day. Kris got the bum deal.

I hate the duet idea just ‘cos of this.

Danny – OMG!!!!! My ears just bled!!!! What in the world!?!!?! Danny, you’re now also responsible for the medical fees of all those eardrums you punctured!

Wow, I really enjoyed the show tonight. I think the best solution for the unpimped ones is to do your best every time. Even if you are thrown under a bus it will look alot better going out on a high note. Allison has been incredible all season. I can’t think of a performance that I didn’t like. She slugged her way stringing together a great body of work. Even when she landed in the bottom more than she deserved, she never appeared defeated. So her duet with Adam and it’s subsequent awesomeness is just divine justice.

I know Kris has lots of fans, and he’s a talented dude. The excuse of him not being a rocker is just that. An excuse. I don’t know what was available to him, but his choice of Come Together while good, was just not good enough. Yes, Kara and Simon threw him under the bus, but Randy and Paula gave him the credit he deserved. I know they don’t count, but it wasn’t the bloodbath everyone is saying.

Adam is pimped, just as the David’s were last year. But guess what, they freaking deserved it. Period. The were the best, most consistant, and delivered the goods when it mattered. Why Danny is pimped is lost on me. Maybe upon meditation, it will be revealed.

I loved the idea of a duet, and yes men duet. Maybe not often anymore, but there was Sam and Dave. Hall and Oates, and one of the best pairings ever Simon and Garfunkel. I don’t think Danny was necessarily better, but he was louder for sure. The harmonies were nice. Adam and Allison however were just the shit.

Solo performances:

Adam
Allison (didn’t quite resonate for me as much as I expected because this song is wonderful…..something was missing, but she is just incredible.
Kris
Danny (that was one scary note at the end, and he didn’t think it was bad?)

Danny has a huge base. He’s been up at the top with Adam since the beginning. That’s why Simon keeps saying they are the F2.

From what I see here, it’s save Kris and Allison night. Danny fans will save him. Let’s see, who is left? Just Adam…the one that was so great that nobody worries about him. Look for Adam in the bottom again, folks.

Danny Gokey is a jokey…..

maybe that was too much cheese…

I just looked at the GeoPredictions chart on Dial Idol. This chart has been farily accurate the last few weeks in predicting/hinting who will go home. It’s like Kris/Allison are in trouble. Adam has won a boatload of states, over 22, and hardly lost any. Danny has just about broken even. He’s won almost as many states as he’s lost.

Allison has won a few states, but has lost quite a few states. The same goes for Kris. But right now Kris has lost the most states and won the least. However, I think that Kris has a lot of people texting for him.

He’s been at the very bottom of Dial Idol’s rankings at least a couple of times, but been safe each time. So he could get enough votes to keep him around over Allison. I think that Kris or Allison are going home tomorrow.

You know I was gonna wear Adams duet pants tonight. It is a good thing I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t. Gosh that would have been strange. I am suprised Kara didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t say he was a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“packageà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  artistà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

LOL! I laughed out loud at that. XD

–

BOOOO @ voting being over!

I voted the entire two hours for Allison. Hope she gets saved. She definitely deserves it after tonight. She rocked it like I knew she would.

lol …. those pants were some kind of wonderful

Who needs pink stairs when you can pack a pair of pants like that (thank god Danny and Adam didn’t get their wardrobe’s mixed up tonight)

What they did to Kris was pathetic. I voted the whole 2 hours. Part of the time 2 phones when my cell phone fingers weren’t numb. Hope we saved Kris. Not saying he was the best of the night Adam was. Allison was really good. Although I liked how Kris made his song more his own. Simon pulled out the whole fleet of buses as did TPTB for Kris. Duet right before performance. Lord. But Kris was not the worst either. WTH did Gokey do to Dream On. OMG. And he is going to be safe. Probably at Kris’s expense. Well, if my boy goes home I tell you what Glamberts…. you have 2 hours of votes from me until he finally beats Danny.

MJ–check the top of this message. Shouldn’t the second “Danny Gokey” be Aerosmith?

Adam is pimped, just as the Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s were last year. But guess what, they freaking deserved it. Period. The were the best, most consistant, and delivered the goods when it mattered. Why Danny is pimped is lost on me. Maybe upon meditation, it will be revealed.

I totally agree. Kris was never what 19 wanted so not pimping him over Gokey I get. But hello…Allison?!?! To me she seems ever so much more top 40 pop/ac marketable than Danny and she is a better performer as well.

No big surprises here, eh? I mean, everything went according to script! Adam killed. Allison rocked. That was to be expected for a rock-themed night, yes? I enjoyed them both immensely!

Kris, on the other hand, struggled with the power of the band and grandiosity of the arrangement on his solo, and he was virtually non-existent on the duet. Underwhelming at best. And to be real, this was no great surprise since he’s really more of a sensitive, acoustic type rock-folk-soul artist.

As for Danny, he was really inconsistent in the duet, but I agree with Simon that he was better than Kris. ‘Course that ain’t sayin’ much. The solo pretty much sucked. I think he thought it was a ballzy move to choose a song that went so against type, but it really came off as more foolish and borderline suicidal. Insane.

Order of supremecy tonight:

1) Adam
2) Allison
4) Danny/ –A TIE for 4th.
4) Kris…..–A TIE for 4th. Danny was marginally better in the duet, Kris marginally better with the solo.

OMG…I thought someone was strangling Rickey during the live stream…turns out it was just Danny’s final screee…er, note. Maybe he stepped on some of that broken glass… :innocent1_tb:

karenw (thank god Danny and Adam didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get their wardrobeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mixed up tonight)

Thank God indeed. The mere thought of that makes me queasy…..

What really hit me is the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“dead eyesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  comment. The person who had dead eyes tonight was Danny à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  it was really stunning how it was as though he wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even there. Maybe he was trying to zone out and not hear his own horrific suckage.

Well, I will give you an inch there, becaue Danny’s eyes were beyond dead…Can I be honest? It was hilarious, his camera eyef*ckery technique was so amateurish and lame and then that note at the end? You just know a certain somebody had watched the best of Cookie and Adam on the tube to prepare for rawk week and thought, soul seering stare into the camera? Check! High note rock wail? Check! I can do that, I’m the Gokester. Reminded me of a song…hmm, which one could it be….

You know it’s kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn’t cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial…
if you don’t rate, just overcompensate…

*cough*

Does Adam require assistance to get into those pants cuz I am totally free for the job.

Does Adam require assistance to get into those pants cuz I am totally free for the job.

LOL, as a guy I could never imagine wearing something that tight

With only 4 are left, is there a bottom 3 on elimination night?

I can’t see HOW Danny is getting so many votes after that lousy performance of Dream On. I mean, he IS capable of having a crappy night. Most contestants are punished with nonvotes after ruining a song … the “glory note” and the “do bee dobee do” or whatever THAT was in the middle was laughable.

Does Adam require assistance to get into those pants cuz I am totally free for the job.

I’m free to get him out of them

WOW, this show sucks!!! No, no; I can’t blame the show, cuz the contestants are great, but, man, TPTB and the effen judges ruin these awesome performances and tear down the performers confidence, just to serve their own purposes.

What they have done to Allison is a crime…she is just as good, vocally, as Adam, but they can’t give her the props she deserves. That is WRONG!!!

Allison, girl, YOU ROCK!!!

:smoke_tb:

ROFL…Sunchick for the win. That was the Anti-Cookie =)

I was commenting via phone earlier, so didn’t take the time to give Allison and Kris the props I think they deserve.

While Joplin doesn’t have my favorite voice, I’ve always loved her material and style. It was perfect for Allison and she did great with it. Hope she does more in the blues/rock vein because it really suits her voice.

Come Together is one of my all time favorite songs. Loved the Beatles original, and I like Joe Cocker’s cover even more. I thought Kris did it justice. His performance wasn’t perfect, but I like his mind and his voice is right in my comfort zone.

I haven’t voted all season, but, did tonight. I voted for Kris. Guess I was having dejavu with Jason from last season. The judge’s comments were totally wrong. I just don’t get Allison at all. I can’t even understand what she is saying, she’s such a mush mouth. I think Amanda Overmeyer is much better.

Danny was an absolute trainwreck, and, Adam was Adam. Not my cuppa. I just didn’t appreciate what they did to Kris, so, I pulled out my voting finger for the first time. Not sure if it’ll help, but, at least I tried.

OMG LOL. After rewatching the A & A duet, I adore Allison but she really did just sing *Ho Ride* LMAO

No, people arenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mad that he got the first post. People are angered that he ALSO got the LAST spot.

Nah. Some people are just mad that he performed well. LOL Adam will never win with some people. Its all good.

Okay…here we go…

General:
- Too bad about rehearsal..however, the only people who probably could have used it were Danny and Kris…more on that later…
- Judging – since I only have season one as a baseline and I don’t remember, has Simon always been in the habit of comparing others to a frontrunner? I know it seems as if they are very careful about that, but tonight was quite obvious
- still think the duets belong on results night

Adam – I am not a Led Zeppelin fan, but I think Adam did a fine job with the song. And he looked delicious. You know that line in the Wedding Date, when Debra Messing’s character’s friend sees her hot gigolo boyfriend across the way and he smiles at them? And she say, “Oh god, I think I’ve just $$$”? Yeah, that was me after Adam was done. He did not do his trademark wail and restrained himself – pity – but it still worked.

Allison – She did an okay job with the song but she is still pushing and forcing the sound out there, trying to sound “rockish”…she is putting so much unnecessary stress on her vocal chords that it actually pains me to listen to her. And she shouted the song. And it sounded like every other song she has performed. Sorry, just because she is 17, she gets no pass from me since this is a competition. Trust me, she is going to have voice issues. What a shame. Instead of stroking the words “Cry Baby”, really using her body instead of singing from the throat, and interpreting it better (she has no idea what she is singing), she just pushed it out there. No finesse whatsoever.

Kris and Danny – what a train wreck. They looked like a garage band on the first day of practice, with two people trying out to be lead vocalist. Such a shame they did not get a chance to rehearse. Poor Kris. Danny is such a mic hog…no effort to even try and work with Kris.

Kris – I am not a Beatles fan and then he started singing and I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Danny – that was HORRIFIC. I do not have another word other than that. FRAKKIN’ HORRIFIC. He went flat on his sustained notes and built up no energy throughout the song at all in order to help himself on that…”DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT SOUND?”…note. I felt so bad for him but he can barely hit notes that are below the one he attempted at the end…it is just not part of his vocal repertoire so I am baffled…BAFFLED…why he thought he could do it? Oh wait, he is trying to be like Adam because he [Danny] does not have any musicality or interpretive skills whatsoever. Hack.

Adam and Allison – He did a fantastic job making her sound good, making sure she got her props and opportunities to shine throughout the song, and still selling it for himself. That is what you call a good sport and a good competitor. And a good pairing. They both had fun and it was a win-win. Again, she was shouty shouty, but it all worked together. I want Adam to be my big brother. I was not a fan of Adam’s striped pants. But they were tight and that carries more weight.
