All my votes last night went to Allison. I would have split them between her and Adam except I knew Adam would get a lot of votes (he IS awesome) after his outstanding performance last night, and I was afraid Allison might not. After all, she’s been in the bottom three before. I love the girl. She’s got a terrific voice and she’s so young. I can’t imagine how good she might turn out to be with some seasoning and maturity. And she sang one of my favorite all-time songs. In fact, I wrote a book inspired by that song (I’m a writer). Right now, I would be so happy if she and Adam ended up as the top two because no matter which won ultimately took the crown, they’d both get great record contracts, just like the two Davids did last year. I was rooting for David C. all the way last year, though, and this year (so far, at least) I’d be thrilled for either Adam or Allison to get the win.

Scott needs to go home. And, in my opinion, so does Lil. And I’m not fond of Danny. He’s milked his backstory to the point I want to throw up.

Have others heard the youtube performance of Allison singing Total Eclipse of the Heart? I listened to this in the vey beginning of the season, sometime during the tryouts and it touched me so deeply I actually wept. I don’t remember ever having such a visceral response to a taped ‘nonprofessional’ musical performance and only rarely have I been moved to actual tears during a concert by a known artist… She is something magical in my opinion…

tonight was alright.

* Danny Gokey – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œStand By MeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ .
Honestly, hated the arrangement. It’s the same ole’ Danny crap we get almost every week. ::yawn::.

* Kris Allen – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œAll She Wants To do is DanceÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ by Don Henley -
I LOVE kris but, tonight was not his night. I do not think he should go though.
he is very charming:)

* Lil Rounds – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œWhatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Love Got to Do with ItÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ by Tina Turner -
She never ever picks good songs, this songs she picks are not ment for her voice. She does not have power vocals like she thinks she does. I want her gone. She needs to figure out who she is as a singer.

* Anoop Desai – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œTrue ColorsÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ by Cyndi Lauper

He changed NOTHING, sounded exactly the same as the original. He wasn’t cocky that cocky tonight but thats because he got good reviews.

* Scott MacIntrye – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œThe Search is OverÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ by Survivor – Played electric guitar
GO HOME SCOTT!!!he can not play guitar,he can not sing that well at all. He is always very flat.

* Allison Iraheta – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œI CanÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t Make You Love MeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ – No comparison between her and Carrie singing this. Carrie sings this so much better!! Alison is a good singer/performer and I can see her going far but she has no personality! that’s why she always is in the bottom 3.

* Matt Giraud – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œPart Time LoverÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ by Stevie Wonder

AMAZING! I could see him making a CD like this! I loved every part of this song.

* Adam Lambert – Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œMad WorldÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ by Tears for Fears
I didn’t get it, I don’t think it was worth a standing O.

Bottom 3: Lil,Scott,Anoop/Kris

I want Lil’,Anoop or Scott to leave. PLEASE!! Im for a double elimination,even a triple.

my rank for tonight.

Matt
Adam
Kris
Alison
Danny
Anoop
Lil’
Scott

I was very happy with Allison’s choice! I picked it for her, and didn’t read the spoilers. I think it made her a contender.
I didn’t think Danny sounded good – he sounded flat to me.
Lil Rounds should really be gone.

ptslittlecomment, Kris is only about 1.5 behind Scott now. I hope he can get more votes. I’m still voting. Redial!

Professional, confident, and polished.

The search is definitely over. Scott has won us over as the new VFTW pick.

I liked Scott’s performance. I think he’ll be around tomorrow night.

I canÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t believe how many people either love or hate Adam. He is the most unique contestant to ever appear on the show. You canÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t take that away from him! I think he did a terrific job.

Oh, no kidding! It’s like watching Armani competing on Project Runway. It’s no contest. I wouldn’t use the word “unique.” I would use the word “professional.” He’s practically a pro.

Not bad, Anoop, but I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know if heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll pass Danny/Adam tonight.

Anoop doesn’t have to pass up Danny or Adam tonight. I loved his performance! I just hope it is enough to keep him out of the bottom three. Just so he doesn’t go home! I want the clothing stylist to do a number on him.

I can’t believe how many people either love or hate Adam. He is the most unique contestant to ever appear on the show. You can’t take that away from him! I think he did a terrific job.

Adam = Awesome (I’ll be adding this to my “Mad World” collection, love this song)
Allison = Awesome 2! (I bet Bonnie Raitt would have given her a standing o for this)
Anoop = Alright
(That’s it for the A’s.)

Matt – meh, better than last week, but I just ain’t feelin’ him.
Kris – disappointing, I really wanted to like it, but …………….
Danny – that was really pitchy, dawg; his voice kind of weirds me out – sometimes it’s thin and nasally and he def has problems with the breathing

Lil – go home

Scott – sorry, please go home

I think the judges(Simon)are waiting for Allison to come out of left field and take the crown…I gotta feeling. That girl is awesome, I mean as far as a “current” recording artist…no one comes close to her. The rest are talented and make for good TV. She is the real deal.

Kris has yet to chart on Dial Idol. At. All. Scott is 15 percent ahead of him.
I do not think the judges will use their save on him.

I do wish Adam’s lighting had been a bit more focused on him so we could see an emotional connection. I also thought he got gypped out of some really good comments.
Must suck to have recorded this and missed him if you didn’t record Fringe too.
I’ll buy Adam and Allison for sure.

Top three Adam, Allison, and Matt just like I like it.

Top nine:

1. Adam
2 through 9 everyone else.
