American Idol Top 4 – Wrap Up and Predictions

lol DA caught last night’s idol and tweeted about it:

“I got to watch Tuesday’s show of American Idol by the way. Was really interesting with duets. Brought back memories! I feel for them.”

Me thinks someone noticed the big bus…

I stil want Hokey Pokey to go… kris will not go >:( no no no

OH Simon, I mean MJ, you were right the first time, it was the worst. I am a Kris fan, I really am but at this point he needed to have another moment, really bring it and he just didnt, he didnt outsing danny just wasnt as bad as Dannys solo but I still voted for Kris. This time though I really thought Allison was wonderful so for the first time I gave her some votes, almost all were for Adam – yes – but thats what I think

HOPEFULY HE DOESNT GO TOO!!!.

i see everyone hopeing danny will go home today, for those people hopefuly you guys voted for kris

I really, really hope that Danny goes home tonight. I loved the other three, and I thought that Kris really got the short end of the stick on the duet. He could have sounded great with Allison or Adam (but then again, I wouldn’t have chenged that duet for anything. I’ve watched it 10 or 12 times in the past 24 hours…)

GROUP 2 FTMFW! I really hate the thought of seeing anyone not named Danny Gokey leave tonight. This is the first elimination I’m going to be legit sad about.

I put my points on Allison and Danny. Didn’t have the heart to put on Kris Could Danny’s fans get complacent after Simon’s “I think you’re gonna be safe” comment? I hope so! Hee

i see everyone hopeing danny will go home today, for those people hopefuly you guys voted for kris

I did. Plus a couple for Allison just to be safe.

My only hope is that Simon’s statement saying that Danny was safe kept his fans from dialling their bloody fingers off. But we shall see. This was the right top four but the right top 3 is Adam, Allison and Kris. But as a Jason fan I don’t expect to see it.

It’s baffling to me why TPTB appear to be so invested in a finale with Danny as a participant. Let’s face it, he has Taylor Hicks and his lackluster post-Idol career written all over him. He seems the least marketable of the four remaining, and it’s always that for this show lately. As Hicks proved, popularity throughout the Idol run does not translate into huge record sales, so I scratch my head on that? Danny is likeable, and a good singer, but he deserves the boot tonight, when compare to the other three. Kris got screwed by the stringent rock rules, but I agree, his performance was pretty good, I liked it. Allisons was boring, and I agree, lacked a good melody. Adam was the best, as most everyone agrees.

How much you want to bet we hear “We will Rock You” or “We Are The Champions” at some point tonight.

I went to bed angry and I woke up very nervous and still angry about what they did to Kris! I think he got screwed because he was the only that didn’t get a cushy spot (and they made him duet with Danny!?) Ugh.. I think the duet is a bad idea because the pairings were kinda unfair. Having said that, I read one of Matt’s interviews saying that he would have liked to pair up with Kris (with them both on their instruments) and that would have been all kinds of awesome!

Thanks MJ! I’m glad I’m not the only one who liked Come Together by Kris. I thought he did an awesome job and thought he was going to get some props for being able to pull it off but then the judges crushed my dreams.

I’m a nervous wreck! I hope Kris is safe!

As Gokey’s flock have kept him out of the bottom 3 all season I just don’t see tonight being any different. I’d love to be wrong, I want an Adam, Allison, Kris final 3.

I’m hoping the judges’ negative-yet-positive reviews gave Danny’s fanbase a false sense of security. I doubt it, but hey. I can dream. Actually, I take that last sentence back. I don’t even want to be associated with dreaming after Gokey’s “Dream (Scream?) On” last night.

GROUP 2 FTMFW! I really hate the thought of seeing anyone not named Danny Gokey leave tonight. This is the first elimination Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to be legit sad about.

THIS.

One more thing, if the show was actually fair, the pimp slot should be going to Allison or Kris (whoever stays) and the only one to not make it to the finals with the pimp slot was Melinda Dolittle. How will the producers get their pre-ordained final if neither gets the pimp slot?

I think that it’s a possibility that Danny might go tonight. But I think that more than likely it will be Kris or Allison that goes home. I am thinking probably Kris. And I am okay with that. I am not a fan of Kris, I don’t care for his voice, or most of his performances.

The only one I kind of liked was “Ain’t No Sunshine”, I haven’t really cared for the rest, even though I thought that “Falling Slowly” was a good song choice. But I agreed with Randy’s critique on that song.

I think that both Kris and Danny overall have been consistant in their performances. And even though I don’t care for Kris I don’t think that either one of them except for Danny last night have been the worst performer, on the different performance nights this season. ,

I won’t really see it as a big injustice if one stays over the other, including if Danny stays over Kris. Even though Danny’s performance last night, IMO, was his worst this season. But I will understand why people will be upset about Danny staying over Kris.

If Danny goes tonight, I can understand why he was voted off. If Kris goes tonight, I can understand why people would be upset about that, even though it won’t bother me. And if Danny fans keep around, then IMO, that will further prove that they are a very strong, fanbase.

If they can keep him around after him having a poor performance, then if he comes back and does well next week, they can probably get him into the finale. And who know they might be able to get him the win over Adam.

I’m already preparing myself to be rather upset around 8:55 PM CST because someone not named Danny Gokey is probably going to go. And that makes me very, very sad.

GROUP 2 FTMFW! I really hate the thought of seeing anyone not named Danny Gokey leave tonight. This is the first elimination Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to be legit sad about.

This!

I too would like to see an Adam, Alison, Kris final three but think that unfortunately Danny will take one of their places.

As an Adam fan I hope that last week was just a little blip on his way to the final and I also hope that his duet with Alison helps to get her through to the next round.

Whilst last night wasn’t Kris’s best performance he has shown that he’s prepared to use a bit of “artistry” in adapting his song choices to suit his style .. whereas Danny’s only attempt at “artistry” seems to be to yell like he’s trapped his nuts in his zip.

Kris should totally stay over Danny. And if TPTB had a brain cell or two to rub together they would know this. Kris is way more marketable to their target audience than Danny. Even KARA knew that when she said Danny would be Contemp Christian. If he stays I hope he DOES win and they get to deal with the fall out from that. Idol is barely given any cred as is. Hokey will be a bigger nail in their coffin than Taylor.

Note. I love Taylor. Totally not marketable for their target audience of HAC/Top 50/POP though.

All I know is if something strange happens and Adam is elimimated I will let out a shriek that makes THE NOTE sound like a heavenly choir.

I think Kris will and should go tonight. I disagree with those who think Kris was better than Danny all season and feel that Danny has a much better voice.

I talked to 2 different friends today about idol. One has always liked Danny the best but also liked Adam. She says now she’s over him. I’m not sure if it’s the overpimping or the ott performances or maybe a combination of the two. My other friend who was a huge DC fan last season and I thought liked Adam best said that Danny is actually her favorite even with the not so great song choice last night. There was a bit of disagreement with those at lunch over whether Adam would win or not. It was split and some even thought Allison would win. Interesting thought. Here’s hoping she’s around that long.

Allison did a little Avril Lavigne dance moves in the middle of the duet.I think adam thought at the end when allison brought her arm back she was going to high 5 him.Adam looked liked he was getting ready too.The picture most missed of them at the end of danny’s song right before the break.

2 things i saw after AA duet look at kara when randy talks.She has dollar signs flashing in her head(i have songs).Watch simon when all 3 talk.Its like he is thinking shit she is out of her shell now.Park that bus guys i cant say nothing here.I really believe if kris goes tonite they will run danny over next week.Unless allison screws up for the first time all season.After last nite and knowing adam will sell overseas why would they want to spend the money on danny.

Hope the bus is out of gas tonite

I really liked Kris’s performance last night. Actually I liked both of his back-to-back performances. I was stunned and angry with Kara’s critique and even angrier at Simon for being so smug and nonchalant about his nastiness. Danny was by far the worst last night. In the solos I felt Adam, Kris, Allison, and far below Danny were the best in that order. For the duets it was a set up and I refuse to count them. Kris was screwed royally.

All I know is if something strange happens and Adam is elimimated I will let out a shriek that makes THE NOTE sound like a heavenly choir.

I think that Adam is probably safe. I am not so sure about Allison. I think that she could be safe, but I think that Kris has a lot of people texting for him, so maybe that might make up enough difference in votes to save him. And even though Dial Idol hasn’t been that reliable this season, they have had him at the bottom a few times this season, times where he didn’t even hit the bottom three.

So maybe if Kris got enough texts and Danny’s fanbase came to Danny’s rescue, then Allison could be the odd person out. I don’t know. I think it’s a good chance that Kris will go but maybe he got enough text votes, and Danny’s fanbase saved him, making Allison the contestant that slips through the cracks.

I noticed last night that after Danny’s performance, Ryan emphasized the fact that Danny was the only contestant left to not be in the bottom 3. Why would he say that? Along with Simon’s comment of him probably being safe, I am hoping they are lulling the voters into complacency and getting ready to give America a “shocking” elimination tonight. Please go away Danny!

I couldn’t post last night because this site was wonky, but I definitely thought Adam was great and he was given lavish treatment by producers and judges- the reminder to fans to call, the opening, Simon’s name-dropping in each critique, and the closing number. It’s not that he isn’t deserving; it just makes me shake my head and wonder about the need to oversell him. I don’t get it.

Anyway, they continue their soft sell of Allison. IMO, she was as good as anyone else up there and she sang even better than her duet partner. I don’t get it.

I liked Kris’ performance, and felt he was the only one to put his own spin on the song. But he was thrown under the bus. I don’t get it.

Danny sucked. I don’t think he was the worst singer these past weeks. He kind of runs middle of the pack or within the top three or four with me, but he looked and sounded uncomfortable last night. He was the worst and the judges put on their velvet gloves before they gave him a gentle slap on his cheek. I don’t get it.

Prediction: Kris will go. He’s not Adam- TCO. He’s not female. He wasn’t the worst and he didn’t have a memorable disaster.

i really really am going to be stressed out during the elimination tonight… the only one who deserves to go home is danny… he has been lackluster the entire season… kind of like lil rounds was. he never really took any chances like the other three and his performances were always the same week in and week out… dull and boring. he isn’t getting through for the right reasons and it isn’t fair at all for kris or allison who have been working their ass off despite who they are up against. my only hope for tonight is alot of kris’s and allison’s fans are text voters which dial idol doesn’t pick up in their predictions and danny supporters don’t call, not to mention he is the vftw pick this week… maybe this will make tptb realize that danny isn’t worth it and will cut him lose tonight.

having allison, kris, and adam in the top three will be the right top three and i won’t be disappointed with any of those three winning… if danny makes it to the finals and wins, i swear…. urgh!!!! good thing i’m going to be having party on finale night and will be drinking so if danny does end up winning i can drown my sorrows! lol… i’m going to make one of those “archuleta loses” videos where that gaggle of girls all scream and cry when cook won and archie lost. lol

You know, many of us have been hoping for a Kris-Allison-Adam final three for a long time, but thought it was impossible.

Well, Danny AND Simon did everything in their power to make it possible last night!

Danny performed miserably, and then was arrogant about the comments afterward (does he really–really!–need to watch that tape!?). Simon then proceeds to both criticize him (horror movie, etc.) and suggest he is not in danger. “Shock” eliminations are made of this kind of middle-of-the-road commentary.

I think what Danny did was a total turn-off for both the casual viewer (who, at this stage, you NEED) and for his gospel / Christian base. I can see a lot of these people choosing to do something else with their night on Tuesday rather than vote until they bleed.

Honestly, what else could have happened to make it more likely that Danny would be voted off? If the judges praised him more…they may have even convinced people. If they praised him less they would have activated his fans. If Danny had sung worse…never mind. If he had sung better…we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

lol, I know I have gotten my hopes up all day, but what the heck! I think Slezak’s prediction weeks ago could now happen!

If there is any dignity left Danny should be going home – however this is Idol were talking about….

Danny’s Pastor apparently has been told Danny is safe… by whom or what I dont know:

http://twitter.com/pastorjpruitt

“Just got done doing an interview with the AP about Danny! They’ve been good people to interview with! Good questions! Danny’s safe tonight!”

I checked out of Season 8 on an emotional level a long time ago so I am good with whatever happens. The return of the wild card round, the pointless addition of the fourth judge and the relentless pimping for the Gokey vs. Lambert showdown have all made this season less than stellar for me. I feel the steady drumbeat announcing Adam Lambert being showered in confetti as this season’s winner has been as relentless and unavoidable as Sherman’s march to the sea. I honestly can’t see any other outcome and I am fine with that. Say what you will about Glambert, no one else has been as consistantly entertaining over the course of season. He isn’t my cup of tea; I think I like my Idol rockers cool and cerebral like Cookie but he makes for great TV and what I find even more amazing is that despite all the theatrics, screams and tongue thrusting, he just comes off as an all around nice guy who wears too much eye makeup. I don’t even fault him for choosing sides during last weeks results show. There was something so refreshing about his candor and he did it with surgical speed.

I love Allison and I love Kris and all his low key charms but I won’t feel bad if one of them leaves tonight before Gokey because if I am being honest with myself, having the screaming Douche around to hate on is just more fun. No one will beat the Glambert.

MJ, I doubt anyone would kill you now (or ever since you’re oh so awesome!) for liking Kris’ “Come Together.” It was a typical charming, understated Kris performance. The problem is that at this juncture it’s just too easy for him to be out-shone by all the remaining bigger guns. His gentle, sweet, low-key style simply can’t withstand the combined gale force winds of Adam/Allison/Douchey. Also, has anyone ever considered the prospect of an Adam/Kris finale? Talk about a mis-match. It would be like sending a new born pussy cat up against a lion. No matter how much “artistry” Kris might put up on that stage, he could never match Adam’s ridiculous OTT intensity and showmanship. Maybe that’s why TPTB have been gunning for an Adam/Gokey show-down: it simply makes for better teevee. Gokey may be an ass wipe of negligible talent, but his desperate eagerness to please is never boring (cruel and unusual punishment to one’s eardrums notwithstanding)!

Ya Kris had an off night. I didn’t care for “Come Together” or
his vocals in the duet. That said he certainly wasn’t the worst of
the night. With Danny out of the equation of “Not be eliminated”
I think Kris should go over Allison or Adam. It will be sad, he
seems so sweet and humble.

Gokey should go home. He was horrible with his solo. The worst that could be said about Kris’s was that it wasn’t memorable. Horrible should go home before one bad week of mildly forgettable. And the duet between them? Wait. There was a duet? Because that would mean Kris got to sing as much, and he didn’t (and it was just as well, unfortunately) and that he was working with someone, not against them. Like, oh Adam and Allison did.

Gokey is a douche-nozzle who screamed at me, and not in a good way, so he should go home.

Probably it will be the okay from last night (and competent overall) Kris vs Allison (who was second only to Adam in solos and killed with him in a duet) to be the cannon fodder for the TCO challenge of Danny vs. Adam.

However, shock boot would be Adam off and all bets would be off at that point. Though I wouldn’t be watching enough to care.

rbidol: From your mouth to America’s dialing fingers!

As far as Danny’s pastor goes…I’ll be quiet, as not to offend. If he doesn’t go home tonight I’m going to be the most upset I’ve been since Jason got the boot this week last year. Here’s hoping Kris can break the curse of the folk pop boys who can’t catch a break!

having allison, kris, and adam in the top three will be the right top three and i wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t be disappointed with any of those three winningà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ if danny makes it to the finals and wins, i swearà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. urgh!!!! good thing ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to be having party on finale night and will be drinking so if danny does end up winning i can drown my sorrows! lolà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to make one of those à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“archuleta losesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  videos where that gaggle of girls all scream and cry when cook won and archie lost. lol

hahahaha!

I agree, rbidol — the cards were not better placed for Danny to be eliminated tonight. But will it happen? Can we be that lucky?

If there is any dignity left Danny should be going home – however this is Idol were talking aboutà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

arrggggg… please say it aint so…….

btw I like both kris and carlys come together… I need to buy kris’ studio version…

I disagree with those who think Kris was better than Danny all season and feel that Danny has a much better voice.

I agree. I think that Danny has a better voice than Kris as well. Kris vocal style reminds me of Jason Castro and I did not care for Jason Castro as a singer. I don’t care for Kris as a singer either.

I give Kris credit for being consistant in what he does, and for coming up with some of his arrangements, and for some of his song choices. But I do not care for his singing. If he goes tonight, I will wish him well, but his elimination won’t bother me.

1. I get the feeling that the producers chose the duet partners.
2. Thank you for the lulz Danny. I am scaring people on the bus with your wonderful voice as my ringtone.
3. I thoroughly enjoyed Kris‘s “Come Together” as well (though I do like Carly’s version better).
4. Adam is the HBIC.
5. I remember the last time I put my pool points on Kris. I was wrong and plummeted in standings. I truly hope history repeats itself again.

GROUP 2 FTMFW!

AMEN.

I’m actually from Milwaukee and I still want Danny to go. I thought Kris’s performance last night wasn’t unbelievable, considering his performance of Falling Slowly, but this performance was far better than Danny’s and it should give him the upper-hand on Danny. Kris isn’t a rock singer, but I think he proved that he can sing in the genre pretty well, while Danny can’t. I voted for an hour for Kris last night and i hope you other Kris fans did too because he’s definitely going to need it to beat out Danny’s fanbase.

I’m throwing all my points on Gokey. Maybe the good Lord will FINALLY take him away.

I imagine Gokey’s pastor is just hoping for Danny to be safe tonight. How would those random interviewers know anything? On Twitter you only have 140 characters; thus, “Danny’s safe tonight!” could easily mean “I really hope that Danny’s safe tonight!”

Realistically, I do think Kris is probably going home. Grrrr. Should be cat-killing-vocals Gokey.

Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Pastor apparently has been told Danny is safeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ by whom or what I dont know:

Well, unless God told him, there is no way he would know that. Ryan has said several times that only he knows before the results are announced.

Bye Kris.

Did people hear that there were a lot of storms in Arkansas last night so a lot of Kris fans in AR had trouble getting votes in?

I also got quite a few “all circuits are busy” or “your call cannot be completed as dialed” messages for Kris last night… and no busies and then all the sudden, a string of busies on BOTH lines. Very weird. Line tampering?

I wouldn’t take that Pastor‘s word just yet. It could be a hopeful declaration.

The only people who know the results before the show airs are a few select producers (I think) and Ryan (confirmed). That’s what Seacrest said on Oprah at least.

So much aignst and stress over 4th and 3rd place. It won’t affect what ever careers they will each have going forward. There is no 3rd and 4th place prize money to fight over. Does it really matter in the end who goes this week and who goes second?

That final number sealed the F2. Danny and Kris? Fuhgeddaboudthem!!

I can’t figure out why they like Danny but I guess there must be some reason. The judges comments about him were really strange last night. An A for effort? Okaaay.

I don’t know how the pastor would know if Danny’s safe. Maybe God told him?

“”"There was a bit of disagreement with those at lunch over whether Adam would win or not. It was split and some even thought Allison would win. Interesting thought. Hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hoping “”"

Oh I wish I had friends that I could discuss the Adam/Danny thing with over lunch, if I brought that up then, they would look at me as if I just sang that NOTE!

Just curious… Did anybody vote for Adam last night?

Kris goes this week…Allison next, unfortunately.

1. I get the feeling that the producers chose the duet partners.

I think that they did as well. IMO it would have benefited Kris and Danny more (and I think been more fair) if the pairing were Adam/Kris and Danny and Allison, even though I wouldn’t have minded seeing Adam and Danny singing together.

Oh I wish I had friends that I could discuss the Adam/Danny thing with over lunch, if I brought that up then, they would look at me as if I just sang that NOTE!.

I too am a closet AI watcher. I wish I could have chit chats about Adam/Danny but I would find myself sitting at a table for one if I did that

NOLA
Just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Did anybody vote for Adam last night?

I voted for Adam.
And voted.
And voted.

(even though i had 12386457634875 other things to do.)

Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Pastor apparently has been told Danny is safeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ by whom or what I dont know:

LOL. I think Pastor Rolex is hearing voices in his head. He’ll tell you it’s God.

I would love to see Danny eliminated tonight just to imagine that asshat’s smug face when he learns the news.

Danny SHOULD be the one going home tonight, but I know it ain’t gonna happen and one of my faves will be going home instead. I wouldn’t even bother with watching the show, but I want to see Daughtry.

As far as Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s pastor goesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be quiet, as not to offend.

LOL – but I won’t

I’m disgusted that the AP would give media exposure to Pastor Rolex so that he can expand his Ministry of the Escalade.

As for tonight, I’m not sure. I want to put the GO in Gokey, but I feel that it will be Kris. Danny’s secret fanbase seems far too powerful.

I’m still annoyed with the judges about last night. After weeks and weeks of slobbering all over Danny’s mediocrity, they finally get the chance to be honest with him after he sucks. Randy and Kara started it off fine – pointing out the obvious flaws in that hideous note. Then Paula with her A for effort crap, and Simon with the “you’ll still be safe” shit. UGH. If Danny makes it to the final, it will be the judges that have carried him there.

So, if Kris goes tonight, I guess I’ll just congratulate him on bringing himself so far, after clearly being fodder. But, if Lava Girl goes tonight, what on earth will I tell little Spens when she wakes up tomorrow morning?! That will be her first reality tv disappointment.

I really hate the thought of seeing anyone not named Danny Gokey leave tonight. This is the first elimination Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to be legit sad about.

THIS.

MJ… Lovin the Gokey Go Go Go! very clever!

I am ready for Kris to go home. I don’t want him to, but I’ve prepared myself. If someone could be so kind as to let out a Darth Vaderesque NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for me when it happens since I’ll be at class, I would appreciate it.

There is a large part of me that now wants Gokey to win as a payback to TPTB for all of their machinations. It will be for all the future Jason’s, Syesha’s, Anoop’s, and Melinda’s. Maybe they will think before they try to control every aspect of the gorram show. Fuck you very much, TPTB.

Just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Did anybody vote for Adam last night?

I texted with my unlimited ATT texting plan, so I got quite a few votes in for Adam in two hours.

I’ll throw miscellaneous objects at the TV as well.

I imagine Gokeyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s pastor is just hoping for Danny to be safe tonight.

I think that is what he meant as well. I think that comment meant that he hopes that Danny is safe, not that he knows that Danny is safe. Danny doesn’t know that, and I don’t think his pastor knows that either.

Just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Did anybody vote for Adam last night?

Oui.

If there is any dignity left Danny should be going home – however this is Idol were talking aboutà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

The optimist in me thinks (hopes?) the pastor is just trying to encourage Danny fans. I’ve seen the same thing all over AI.com and IDF today. I doubt he knows the results.

Danny’s pastor seems as arrogant as him. Seeing as Danny told Ryan last night that he’d have to have a look at his performance himself to see if it was as bad as what the judges said, I hope Ryan calls him on it tonight and asks him what he thinks. (not that we’ll understand his answer mind)

Yep cuz 3 gets a hometown visit and 4 does not!

Well according to Joesplace Danny’s home visit is already planned

pulease let DANNY CROAKY KARAOKE GO HOME!!! he is not even that great of a singer as much as the judges want to say he is…..my leader of my church group can sing way better than him! he is a fat, ugly, below average joe who will not sell any records after american idol. PERIOD.

Does it really matter in the end who goes this week and who goes second?

Only if you look at this TV show primarily as entertainment. I think Adam, Allison and Kris are all very good, consistent and creative. A show with just them doing several numbers, and no weak links mixed in, could be a pretty good show. I’m wanting AKA for the entertainment value. The career stuff is their own business, not my concern.

I, unlike most here, like Danny. That being said, please God, don’t make us have to sit through a trek to the gravesite with flowers.

Well according to Joesplace Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s home visit is already planned

They start planning those weeks ago. All of the Top 4 have visits planned. It’s just that one doesn’t get one.

Danny deserves to go home. He probably wont though, but he deserves to be in atleast the bottom 2 SO MUCH.

Kris, Allison and Danny are all in danger of being eliminated – It’s probably Kris who will be leaving IMO. Adam’s fans are voting like crazy, and he had an amazing performance.. not to mention he’s kicking butt on DI (yeah, not so accurate this season, but the GeoPredictions and HardGraphs have been quite accurate)

Nevertheless, I will truly shed a tear for whoever goes – except if that person is by the name of Danny, in which case I will laugh.

LOL is Seacrest reading the comments here? He just tweeted this:

I know the results

Take that, Pastor Rolex.

(Oh, and I voted for Adam.)

I think that they did as well. IMO it would have benefited Kris and Danny more (and I think been more fair) if the pairing were Adam/Kris and Danny and Allison, even though I wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have minded seeing Adam and Danny singing together.

IA. I was surprised that the two rockers were placed together, since that would seem very unfair.
But then I realized the producers are all about being unfair and that I shouldn’t be surprised at all.

(I really wanted a Kris/Adam duet…sniffle.)

On another note, hopefully whoever gets eliminated tonight will still have some celebration at home, a la Jason Castro.

Are the home visits this Friday? .. if so then yes, I would have thought that they’ll all have one planned (provisionally) … let’s hope that Danny’s home visit is tomorrow .. and it’s not so much a visit but him staying there …lol

well, if allison does get the boot tonight i’ll be excited to watch her do the media rounds. and kara looks about ready to invite her over for a songwriting session!

gokey was embarrassingly bad. when he turned around and wiggled his stupid little fingers and convulsed and loved himself?? puke. everywhere.

but, like many have said, if gokey does win, at least we can all laugh as TPTB struggle to market him. a danny gokey top 40 hit?? give me a break!! a danny gokey tour?? i guess idol will save money, renting out churches instead of actual arenas or concert halls.

both iraheta and lambert are from california right? hmm, i am thinking one of them will go tonight

Just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Did anybody vote for Adam last night?

I did. A whole two hours of texting and dialing.

I was worried a lot of Kris votes would go to Danny if he got voted off before him. But now I’m thinking…not so much.

Could be a huge Danny backlash next week.

I know it is just an internet poll, but you can’t say VoteNumberOne has not had a pretty good track record…much better this season than Dial Idol.

Their prediction: Danny Gokey. If you look, it isn’t even close. The next lowest (though with a big gap separating them) is Allison. Then Kris. Then Adam.

Dial Idol does not have Kris in the bottom spot (for once!). It has Allison. We all know Kris does better than Dial Idol indicates. And it is almost always accurate for the Top 4 (even when it is close).

AOL and EW and other polls around the internet say Danny. Again…just internet polls…but still.

My point is, those who think it is clearly Kris going home, there are lots of indicators pointing in other directions (unlike other weeks, where there has been a more established consensus).

I still believe we’ll see the good people of Conway, AR on our TV next week. (Gosh I hope I’m right!)

LOL is Seacrest reading the comments here? He just tweeted this:

“I know the results”

Take that, Pastor Rolex.

Hi, Ryan. :bye_tb: :laugh_tb:

What does TPTB stand for?

I am hopeful that Danny goes home tonight, but I think it there IS AN ELIMINATION, it will be a bad night for Kris, I am afraid.

My guess is that Ryan is being instructed to do something totally bizarre with the elimination tonight, like hold it over till next week, or there is going to be a three or four person final or something…

The reason I say this is because there are now four judges. Each judge has picked a song for the top three for homecoming week in the past…numbers don’t add up.

So I expect there will be FOUR homecomings this week, and two eliminations before the final. Just a thought of how they could suck everyone in even further.

^ I’ve been wondering about that too. I mean, 4 judges & 3 contestants = no can do.

TPTB = The Powers That Be

Unsurprisingly, no one bothered to give Kris kudos for the fact that he had to start their duet A CAPPELLA last night. Not easy to do. No surprise that Kris, the musician, was given this task, over Danny, the lounge singer.

All of the home visits are already planned – it’s always that way. Typically, whoever gets 4th, still gets the big hometown party, just without the AI cameras.

Thanks JZ - that one never gets old!! LMAO

Oh, and here at the Chez Spens, we definitely did some Adam voting

Nola, not only will we get the gravesite visit, there’s not a chance in hell that Pastor Rolex will give up his opportunity to be on national tv. Think of how far he can advance his ministry. Kaching!

There is a large part of me that now wants Gokey to win as a payback to TPTB for all of their machinations.

This sounds cruel, but if he does win, I’d love to see Gokey fall flat on his face.

But alas, I’m still routing for a happier ending.

ETA: Though if Gokey gets eliminated tonight…we will all have to hear him and that scream again. Is anyone prepared for that?!

Yep cuz 3 gets a hometown visit and 4 does not!

This is important and here’s why I think so.

If Danny isn’t going home tonight, then I guess I want it to be Kris to leave, and only because of the hometown visits.

Both Adam and Allison are from California, and let’s face it, the last person from California to have a hometown visit was Katherine McPhee. Remember how bad that was. Danny’s homecoming is going to blow everyone’s out of the water. It will probably be like Cook’s or Archie’s. I have a feeling Adam’s and Allison’s homecomings will be fun, but will be more in the line of Kat’s or Seyesha’s, just because of the geographical areas they are from. So at least they can have their not so big homecomings together. And we won’t be hit with the “see, no one really likes Adam that much, nobody turned up.” If Kris is in the top 3, his homecoming visit should rival Danny’s, because he is from a smaller town and they get into that kind of stuff.

And lets face it, (and even Slezak said it last year), those homecoming visits are also an “unspoken” competition.

I noticed that too, Molly. He has very good pitch sense.

Well, I’m an Adam fan and want him to get the confetti moment, so strategically speaking Adam needs Danny in the finale. Adam MAY pick up some of Kris’s and Allison’s fans votes, but he certainly WILL NOT get any of Danny’s. They have sworn that they will throw their votes at whoever is AGAINST Adam in the finale if Danny goes tonight or next week. So…. although my heart says I would love an Adam/Allison finale – what a show that would be, my head says that Danny must remain to the bitter end!!!! Sometimes, I hate logic!

LOL is Seacrest reading the comments here? He just tweeted this:

I know the results

Must be dramatic for him to Tweet about it. He hasn’t before (not even when Adam was in the “bottom 2″) and he usually gets the results before the show.

There was a bit of disagreement with those at lunch over whether Adam would win or not. It was split and some even thought Allison would win. Interesting thought. Hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hoping

I have a group at work that discusses the show too. No one thinks Allison can win, although she has a couple of fans. Everyone thinks Adam should win. I put emphasize on should, since we all know anything can happen. There is consensus that Danny was the worst last night, but no one thinks he’s going anywhere tonight….. Time will tell.

Both Adam and Allison are from California, and letà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s face it, the last person from California to have a hometown visit was Katherine McPhee. Remember how bad that was. Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s homecoming is going to blow everyoneà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s out of the water. It will probably be like Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s or Archieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s.

I completely disagree. I have no idea how you can compare Adam to Kat Mcphee…….

Some comments on Twitter over the last couple of days have indicated that Adam’s homecoming is going to happen in San Diego, fwiw.

Well, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m an Adam fan and want him to get the confetti moment, so strategically speaking Adam needs Danny in the finale. Adam MAY pick up some of Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s and Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s fans votes, but he certainly WILL NOT get any of Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s.

Logic tells me that I want the best possible top 3, as I am also likely to attend the tour. Therefore, I want Danny gone. OTOH, his staying would provide another bathroom break/beer run late in the show before the main event.

SERIOUSLY, I DON’T THINK ANYONE IS GOING HOME TONIGHT!!!!

I have a strange feeling that each of the final four will be singing next week, and there will be one song picked by one judge for each contestant.

Is this NOT a possibility?

^ It’s a very good possibly, and I’m starting to think the same myself.

Some comments on Twitter over the last couple of days have indicated that Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s homecoming is going to happen in San Diego, fwiw.

His dad said it would be in LA, but he said he would talk to Adam about having it in San Francisco. I don’t know where San Diego came from.

It is my favorite thing in the world right now.
Everyone on the bus and subway moved the hell out of my way today when I played it.
Amazing.

4 judges
4 songs
4 contestants

double elimination???

Oh mj. You broke my heart. LOL. I know the smart money is on what you are saying. I just don’t want to believe it.

I’m holding on to a little hope here. Yes, Danny has a strong fanbase, but is it really that big? Strong enough to overcome the casual vote? Is it THAT much bigger than Allison and Kris’? To me, no one is really running away with this thing this year a la Carrie or Kelly. So there is a slim chance that enough people are looking at Danny’s body of work and saying… nnnaaaahhhh. Good, but not good enough to ignore that mess. That Kris guy deserves it more. Right? Right?

Sigh.

Yes.
It is my favorite thing in the world right now.
Everyone on the bus and subway moved the hell out of my way today when I played it.
Amazing.

I think I love you. Can I copy your idea?

Some peeps have been comparing his version unfavorably to Carly Smithsonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s from last year. Well, first, unlike a lot of journos, I never hopped on that train, so Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not going to get all precious about it here.

Heh. I didn’t hop on that train either, but I was following it for a little while after “Come Together”. It was one of my favorite performances of the whole season. Hence why, despite how much I love Kris, I just could not get Carly out of my head. Still voted for him though. And Allison. We’ll see how that goes.

I completely disagree. I have no idea how you can compare Adam to Kat Mcpheeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

I’m not talking talent wise, but I live in Los Angeles, and I know that it takes alot for people to get motiviated here to fight traffic. So that’s what I meant. I wasn’t dissing his talent.

I’m glad to hear is visit will be in San Diego that should be much better than Los Angeles.

pj I think I love you. Can I copy your idea?

Of course!
Anything to spread the ~heavenlyvoiceofGokey~.

ETA: Oh, silly me. I should provide you with the link. Gimme about 5 minutes.

Adam’s hometown is San Diego. Per Dadam, Adam was leaning toward LA, but SD wanted him and was working on it.

My suspicions tell me, if he’s in the Top 3, it will be SD. Probably better, as rumor has it that LA can be a little laisse-faire about these things. Makes sense, but who knows with Adam.

ETA: Sorry for the dup info. Responding to the idea of SanFran posted upthread.

weareallinnocent just said it.

^ Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been wondering about that too. I mean, 4 judges & 3 contestants = no can do.

TPTB = The Powers That Be

Maybe there will be no judges choice this year. THere’s no way each of the top 3 is going to get to sing 3 songs, due to the 4 judges who don’t know how to STFU.

I know it is just an internet poll, but you canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t say VoteNumberOne has not had a pretty good track recordà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦much better this season than Dial Idol.

Vote number one has been right about some of the eliminations, and bottom threes this season but they have also been wrong sometimes. They had Lil in the bottom three at least a couple of times, when she didn’t even hit it. Some of the contestants they have predicted would go home this season, didn’t go home the weeks they said they would. So I don’t know how accurate they could be tonight.

Even though I know that Dial Idol has been wrong and off this year rankings wise. But I think that their GeoPredictions chart has been fairly accurate for the most part. That chart has for the most part either accurately predicted who would go home, or predicted those that are in trouble.

This could be another “up in the air night” regarding who could go home. I think that we have had quite a few of those nights this season.

There’s always this debate about whether it is better to go out 3rd place or 4th place.
3rd place gets the home visit, but no immediate press tour due to the finale
4th place gets an untelevised home visit, and full press tour.

I’m still not sure it matters in the end. What is important is being in the finale.

And yes, I voted tons for Adam. He was the best last night and deserves to go on.

Adam grew up in San Diego. The only connection he has to San Francisco is that is where he auditioned for AI.

*facepalm*

I’m a bit out of it tonight.

Plus, I always gets my “San”s mixed up. :tongue1_tb:

Thanks MJ, for confirming my thoughts…it doesn’t add up. Either that will be a major change, or we are in for a trick ending tonight, folks.

I wish Danny would crawl in a hole and go away. I just don’t get him or am able to see what he brings to the table musically. We all know life is not fair in Idol world.

Adam will be going to San Diego for his hometown visit. People have been tweeting about already. He’s going to perform at his old high school this Friday.

Setting aside my fondness for Kris and Allison for a moment, there are two reasons why I don’t want to see Danny go tonight. First, if he had to sing that song again I think that would be cruel and unusual punishment. Both for him and for us.

Second, I want Adam to win and I think that Kris and Allison voters are more likely to shift to Adam once their favorite goes than Danny voters are.

But honestly I will be sad whoever it is. I like all of them for different reasons. Adam is my favorite, but I like Danny and Allison’s voices and Kris’ musicality.

You know, based on personality types, I think that maybe all the hubbub before the show and the missed rehearsal might have affected Danny more than it did the others. He was really off his game obviously. I do have sympathy for him, I can’t imagine having to deal with this kind of brutal mockery. But the fact that he had the poor judgment to choose that song in the first place makes me wonder what in the world he was thinking. If he was in top form he might be able to pull it off ok but unfortunately for him he was not. And he would never be able to shine on that kind of song the way Adam can. It was just very weird.

His dad said it would be in LA, but he said he would talk to Adam about having it in San Francisco. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know where San Diego came from.

Adam’s originally from San Diego so that’s why people are talking about SD … not sure where San Francisco’s coming from .. lol

My suspicions tell me, if heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s in the Top 3, it will be SD. Probably better, as rumor has it that LA can be a little laisse-faire about these things. Makes sense, but who knows with Adam.

Yes, this is what I meant. And I’m sure any contestant who came from New York would have the same type of homecoming. The smaller towns can turn it into a much bigger event. Can you imagine the mayor of Los Angeles giving the key to the city to Adam? It just isn’t going to happen.

Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Pastor apparently has been told Danny is safeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ by whom or what I dont know

Given the confidentiality contracts amongst anyone associated with Idol, I doubt very much that Danny’s Pastor would be in-the-know about anything.

I thought everyone but Danny did well last night. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he goes home tonight. He was most definitely outshined by Adam, Allison too and maybe even Kris.

I just don’t see this as a competition anymore. Much to my delight, it’s truly become the Adam Lambert show.

well with less songs this year they could at least let them sing longer snippets… :/

but we got 4 blabbermouths instead…

I voted my fingers off for Adam last night.

I’m kind of agreeing with the theory that the judges damned Danny Douche with faint praise last night. If they want to get rid of someone, that’s the way to do it. Major suckage of a performance (to forever to be known as SCREAM ON, yowza), complacent fans, and rile up the fanbases of the other contestants by so obviously revving up that bus.

I do love my grassy knolls.

*or, I’m nuts & the bus got Kris after all – if so, good bye little one, great run while it lasted*

I am a huge Adam fan and my top two dream would be A & A. If I can’t have that then Adam & Kris. No where in my dream was the nightmare stylings of Danny, boy just does not have the talent of the other three.

Maybe the judges will group-pick the songs for F3 rather than one judge per contestant. I hate that idea, though.

SERIOUSLY, I DONà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢T THINK ANYONE IS GOING HOME TONIGHT!!!!

I have a strange feeling that each of the final four will be singing next week, and there will be one song picked by one judge for each contestant.

Is this NOT a possibility?

As I said last night, I think it’s a possibility, due to the unfairness of lack of rehearsals. Add that to 4 judges, and wahlah.

Nola, not only will we get the gravesite visit, thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not a chance in hell that Pastor Rolex will give up his opportunity to be on national tv. Think of how far he can advance his ministry. Kaching!

That makes me fucking nauseous!

Oh, and yes NOLA, I voted for Adam, as did my teenage daughter.

If Danny goes, I won’t give a damn that my poll numbers are in the crapper. As all of the people ahead of me who chose Danny will also be in the crapper

Kris didn’t deserve to get the boot, but I had to put my points on who I thought would go home and Allison just performed so well I couldn’t put a single point on her. I can’t vote for her anymore, but I wasn’t gonna put pool pts on her either. She’s my little Pixie Rocker.

I would prefer Kris to go tonight so he can get the same media roll out that Anoop and Matt received and did so well with. I would love for Danny to go next week so he will get the Melinda/Syesha media blackout treatment. They didn’t deserve it, he certainly does.

I was surprised that the two rockers were placed together, since that would seem very unfair.

I’m honestly not sure that this pairing was unfair (in the sense people are meaning it in this discussion – obviously, one should be able to cope with any possible pairing).

Given that this is a competition and you can’t count on people actually trying to do the best duet, as opposed to making themselves look best, you can make the case for putting the most vocally similar people together. Neither natural rocker was in the position to radically show-up the newbie rockers. The folkier voices of Kris and Danny would be compared with each other and placed, hopefully, in a song and arrangment that fits. Ditto the rockier voices of Adam and Allison.

That’s the theory. In reality, it came out a bit different. For reasons we don’t yet know, the song/arrangement done by Kris and Danny didn’t particularly fit them. And Danny was the one who most apparently chose to go crazy-solo rather than show skill in doing a duet. And based on Adam’s professional experience, that he would be capable of doing a true duet with just about anyone, any voice type, because he’s just done so many in so many different styles. I’d like to think that any Adam, Kris and Allison would all be approaching it as a collaboration rather than a competition, but obviously my opinions are filtered through the editing presented to me, so I could be totally off base.

I do hope that someday they reveal how the pairings were picked and what contraints on arrangments there were.

Its been on the radio here that hes coming here (San Diego). Adams from a suburb (Rancho Penasquitos) of San Diego originally.

The only connection he has to San Francisco is that is where he auditioned for AI.

Nah, that’s not the only connection.

If Gokey does not go home tonight, I may cry. It’s finally gotten down to the point where I actually CARE about the contestants that are left. Kris, Allison, and Adam do NOT deserve to go home before the forty-year-old Archuleta! PUT THE GO IN GOKEY!

Must be dramatic for him to Tweet about it. He hasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t before (not even when Adam was in the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“bottom 2à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ³) and he usually gets the results before the show.

By GOD, silly!

Query: What does “asshat” mean? Is it just a cleaned-up version of the curse word form? Oh dear, please do forgive my ignorance in advance, haha!

Anyway, I hate to interrupt Danny’s stoning, lol, but I think it is Kris who is rightly going home tonight. It’s not all about last night, really, as I think both he and Danny were some 20 degrees south of par. No, it’s just that I have found Danny’s vocals to be the better of the two on most nights of the competition. Call me crazy! LOL!

As for the choice of pairings, we all know that entertainment value trumps all. The temptation to put the two rockers together (and thus leave the two hapless non-rockers out in the cold to fend for themselves) was just too strong for TPTB to resist. I really don’t blame them.

By GOD, silly!

Yep, cause we know that God has nothing better to do than chat with Rev. Dollarbill.

jz: LMAO! That is my favorite Idol moment EVER. At this point, yeah, Danny’s WTF face would top even that of the DAUGHTRY. Fingers crossed!

There’s a link on iTunes to buy a studio recording of Adam’s and Allison’s duet!! Unfortunately it won’t let me d/l it yet, but yay to getting extra songs this week!

^ So we get the duets, too?! Yay! Too bad it wasn’t a solo and a trio…

ETA: Dang it, it’s just a live video. I was hoping for a studio version.

webster
Oh, well said.
I respectfully…. agree. lols!
It does make sense to combine voices with similar features.

Too bad Nigel isn’t on Idol anymore, his big mouth was wonderful.

1 hour till showtime.
There probably will be an elimination.

Looking at programming: Next week 05/12 is Fringe season FINALE. I doubt Idol can fit/will risk fitting 4 singers with 2/3 songs in one hour.

pj
Mighty thanks. I am now guaranteed plenty of space on the bus. Even if no one calls me, I shall set it as an alarm.

Holla.
Works better than caffeine.

I’m pretty sure the duets are just in video form on iTunes…

Nope there’s a link for both a studio recording and the video.

From the main AI page, click on one of the links that says “see his/her collection” and the next screen is where the studio recording shows up.

jz: LMAO! That is my favorite Idol moment EVER. At this point, yeah, Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s WTF face would top even that of the DAUGHTRY. Fingers crossed!

Daughtry’s face reminded me of the moment in the Simpsons where Lisa yells at Ralph she’s not his girlfriend on TV, and Ralph’s heart breaks for all to see.

I don’t think Danny’s response will be like that. I think a serious meltdown might ensue. Like a serious, unprofessional, denial-laden hissy fit meltdown.

While I’m dreaming, there’s a pony in the window down the street with a big “For Sale–Cheap” sign…

Query: What does à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“asshatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  mean?

“asshat” = Danny Gokey

Sorry, there’s no better way to describe the true meaning of the term.

Second, Kris and Carly took two completely different takes on the song. And while the full on band deal isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t the context in which Kris really shines, I thought he managed to bring his own sensibility to the song. It was a typically nuanced and soulful vocal from Krisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’he was solid.

I agree! Kris’s “Come Together” is not comparable to Carly’s because they were different.

I think, contrary to what someone mentioned earlier, a Kris/Adam final would be excellent. This would be a huge contrast, but a meeting of the artists.

So, I’m definitely preparing myself for the worse tonight, Kris going home.

I can’t believe the emotions this show (JUST A T.V. SHOW) has put me through the last 24 hrs. A couple of good things for me to dwell on: 1) Kris will be just fine. 2) I won’t have to be so frustrated with the show any more this yr., and I won’t have to dial like mad anymore.

Sorry to ask on here but the live stream I’ve been using all season just died, anyone have a good link?

I think my iTunes is deficient. I keep refreshing and I keep seeing the video link and nothing else. Grr.

Hahaha, you could be correct about Danny’s meltdown, anibundel. I’m just dying to see it, in either case.

Nope thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a link for both a studio recording and the video.

From the main AI page, click on one of the links that says à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“see his/her collectionà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  and the next screen is where the studio recording shows up.

Ooh, I see it! Yay!

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been wondering about that too. I mean, 4 judges & 3 contestants = no can do.

With Kara’s math sensibilities, they could skip her and she wouldn’t be the wiser.

“”Can you imagine the mayor of Los Angeles giving the key to the city to Adam? It just isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t going to happen.”"”

Hey, it could happen with this mayor – recently he met up with Rob Dyrdek and rode the biggest skateboard in the world with him?! It could happen, I lived in Seal for years and if the event was big you could see me in three hours of traffic heading either to Hollywood or the other way to San Diego(which would mean about 6 hours in traffic) I do think that Adam would bring in a bigger crowd than Kat

SERIOUSLY, I DONà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢T THINK ANYONE IS GOING HOME TONIGHT!!!!

As I said last night, I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a possibility, due to the unfairness of lack of rehearsals. Add that to 4 judges, and wahlah.

I do see this as a possibility–mostly because they’ve spent all season changing the rules at the last minute with no rhyme, reason, except for their whims. It’s sort of like, with Nigel gone, there’s no one putting their foot down. And yeah, why not? Faced with losing Danny, their TCO, they would probably say, “F* it! No one goes home! What a TWIST! That craaaazy idol, you NEVER know what they’ll do next!”

“Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a link on iTunes to buy a studio recording of Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s and Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s duet!! Unfortunately it wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t let me buy it yet, but yay to getting extra songs this week!”

Thinking maybe the looks on adam-allison-kris
could even be better then daughtry

They could play the clip allison saying SURPRISE
on the big screen

I can see it now. When Ryan announces Danny is going home, Danny will say he will have to go listen to that again to see if he agrees. That was just wishful thinking. I’m not expecting him to go home but I’ll be pissed if he isn’t in the bottom two.

“Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been wondering about that too. I mean, 4 judges & 3 contestants = no can do.”

With Karaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s math sensibilities, they could skip her and she wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t be the wiser.

:laugh_tb:

LOL, I like the way you think, steve.

Ah, there’s the duet single.

Query: What does à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“asshatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  mean?

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“asshatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  = Danny Gokey

Sorry, thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s no better way to describe the true meaning of the term.

:clap_tb: :lol_tb: :clap_tb:

At this point, yeah, Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s WTF face would top even that of the DAUGHTRY

It would be absolutely EPIC! :laugh_tb:

Winner of AI = $1 000 000 (record deal)
Money Paula makes = $2 000 000 (per year)
Money Simon makes =$36 000 000 (per year…pimp)
Daughtry elimination moment = $-80 000 000 (for AI’s credibility)
Possible Danny elimination moment = priceless.

I approve of this post.
(Michael Slezak does too!)

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a link on iTunes to buy a studio recording of Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s and Allisonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s duet!! Unfortunately it wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t let me buy it yet, but yay to getting extra songs this week!à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

I am listening now – IT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!! 3:38 of pure heaven for Adam – Allison lovers

Yes, NOLA, a lot of people must have voted for Adam last night. I’m in North Mississippi (not exactly Adam country) and I hit a lot of busy signals — but we got in hundreds of votes. Also, Adam was #1 on DialIdol which usually has Danny first.

Regarding the bad weather in Arkansas: the weather was bad in the whole mid-South (AR-MS-western TN) but I don’t believe it effected the phone lines.

Just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Did anybody vote for Adam last night?

I estimate I got in the neighborhood of 1500 votes in for Adam. *hangs head in shame at what a total and complete nut I’ve become for the Glambert*

Woah you are a voting BEAST girl!
As a fellow Glambert I give you an A-plus-plus.

Kris, he’s so high up in the pool. 65%.

I approve of this post.
(Michael Slezak does too!)

Michael Slezak made me mad with the 25 greatest hits.
How could he leave out “ALONE”
After allison talked to ryan thought sure i was going to hear a disney tune.Never for 1 moment did i think it was going to be the best rocker chick ever on idol.

YAY for studio version of the A&A duet!!! It sounds great, though bandzilla does rear its head a time or two.

Adam’s is up too. Listening and enjoying right now! So far, so fantastic!! DAMN, totally ROCKS IT!!!

They could play the clip allison saying SURPRISE
on the big screen

That made me laugh. XD

I just watched the Idolatry episode where Slezak kept playing that clip. lol

I would love the whole “no one goes home” twist, but I doubt it’ll happen. I’m trying to prepare myself to lose one of my favorites. Soooo not looking forward to the show tonight. :cry_wp:

Watch Danny be voted off only to have Ryan say no one is going home

Woah you are a voting BEAST girl!

Yeah, unlimited texting, an extra cell, and a landline are my friends. And my kids and husband are getting used to me snarling, “Get away from me if you’re not going to help me vote, damn it!” on Tuesday nights.

I’m going to be PISSED if they bail on sending someone home. Because you know Gokey had by far the worst performance…reminds me of S6 where thanks to Idol Gives Back, Jordan managed to skate by elimination despite an absolutely HORRIBLE Living on a Prayer.

Watch Danny be voted off only to have Ryan say no one is going home

I was just thinking that. That would be awful. :glurps_tb:

America finally gets rid of him but NO, they’re going to keep him!

I think adam wouldnt mind losing to allison.

This is why they could be the bestest Final 2 ever.
I do think Adam would be genuinely happy and excited if Allison was to win, and God knows she wouldn’t mind losing to him.
So win/win Finale Celebration start to finish either way.

If by some odd chance they did not have an elimination tonight the cries of “shenanigans” to protect Danny would deafen us all.

PLEASE not this!
There’s enough divisiveness already.

daughtry didn’t have the WTF face – KATHARINE had a wtf face!

“”"Yeah, unlimited texting, an extra cell, and a landline are my friends. And my kids and husband are getting used to me snarling, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Get away from me if youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re not going to help me vote, damn it!à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  on Tuesday nights.”"”

Elle, that is tooo funny ^^^^^ My kids do not dare trying to pry the phones out of my fingers on tuesdays either (or talking or walking in front of the tv or asking “whats for dinner?” )They just know – but it is fuuuunnnnn, right??!

“”"If by some odd chance they did not have an elimination tonight the cries of à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“shenanigansà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  to protect Danny would deafen us all.”"”

Oh seriously, you think this will happen? NO

daughtry didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have the WTF face – KATHARINE had a wtf face!

That is correct. Daughtry did not have the wtf face.
He looked like Ryan had sucker-dick-punched him.

I totally do not see the whole “they want danny to win vibe”…sometimes we see what we THINK we see…I do not care who wins but I do not buy into the thought that ai wants danny…Not for a minute–remember it is a contest///GAME….each participant plays his part and the one at the end of the judges table learned how to PLAY better after season 5

America finally gets rid of him but NO, theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re going to keep him!

He’s the human equivalent of a bad tattoo purchased while faced. It just won’t go away….

terps, this is already the worse season (for me) in Idol history. I think I would throw up if Danny was saved. He didn’t do one thing right last night. Personally, I’d love to see him go home, but I know that won’t happen. *shrug”

I love these quotes from another forum. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Adam and Allison sang TOGETHER. Thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s what made it such a treat.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  And, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Duets are give and take à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ not vocal competition (thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s for the solos)à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . Very true summary! That was a hot rock number, and Adam did bring out the best in Allison!

I believe it is possible, with the right timing, for the Mayor to attend both ceremonies. I just hope Allison is in the TOP 3. I know Adam won’t be leaving tonight!

I think adam wouldnt mind losing to allison.

I think Adam like all of the contestants are on the show to win…. They didn’t go through all of that to lose. this is a contest. We are talking about making a lifelong dream a reality. I don’t think Adam or any of them will be happy to lose. You don’t enter a contest to lose…..

God. My. Oh. You are loaded. Wow [/impressed]. My Verizon cell phone feels very very small and minuscule.
LMAO! Oh, the poor people subjected to Idol devotion.

Oh no, Allison fans must stay united!
( But do send Slezak an email or something [; )

Again, “no one goes home twist” will probably not happen, based on FOX programming for next week. Unless Idol suddenly becomes punctual…

IDK, if Chris’s thoughts were put into words at that moment, I’m pretty sure “What the FUCK do you mean I’m going home?!” would be the first thing he said.

Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the human equivalent of a bad tattoo purchased while faced. It just wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t go awayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

Lol, THIS!

For the person asking about live streaming, you can go to Rickey ´s or:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bobbys-projection-world

i am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that gokey goes home tonight!! if no one goes home tonight, it will be pure injustice. if kris or allison goes home tonight, it would be an injustice, too. if gokey goes home, then yes, there is such a thing as redemption

gawd, i’ve been replaying that youtube vid where danny’s satanic screaming has been looped for about a couple of minutes … it just made my day to see gokey make a complete fool of himself shites, that screech of his made my ear wax fall off in chunks!!

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m going to be PISSED if they bail on sending someone home.

Big, fat DITTO.

Sorry I am slow…but how are you getting the studio versions?? On iTunes it says pre-order still.

ETA: Nevermind! I figured it out!

I’m sorry but I don’t have time to read all the posts here. Why are we talking about not sending anyone home? Is this wishful thinking or a rumor or what?

After the way he sung last night, Gokey going would not be a shock boot. What would be a shock is him not being in the bottom two. Instead it’s Allison and Kris.

I’m picking enough people voted to save “sexy face” and that Allison is going home. Now that would be truly shocking.

Elle, that is tooo funny ^^^^^ My kids do not dare trying to pry the phones out of my fingers on tuesdays either (or talking or walking in front of the tv or asking à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“whats for dinner?à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  )They just know – but it is fuuuunnnnn, right??!

LMAO! Oh, the poor people subjected to Idol devotion.

Yeah, I think my family is starting to wonder who I love more, them or Adam. Some nights it’s a toss up…. But seriously, having mad love for the Glambert is so much fun! I wouldn’t change my obsession for anything. LOL!

Sorry I am slowà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦but how are you getting the studio versions?? On iTunes it says pre-order still.

I went to the page showing the Top 4, then clicked on See His Collection (Adam). While a pre-order still appears, look down and you’ll see both his duet and Whole Lotta Love studios. You just click “Buy Album.” At least that’s what worked for me.

They don’t appear on the front AI page. And, you can’t click on the song title once you see them either. You only can click Buy Album.

If the Gokey videos go viral, you think TPTB will reconsider? I would hardly think that they would want their American Idol to be the owner of someone famous caterwauling video….

I seriously hope Danny goes home. I want Dream On redux.

Norwegiano

I’ll remember you for calling that out first if it’s true. Cheers.

No matter whose fave would get a reprieve, another week of ignoring the voting public’s decision would be yet another blow to the credibility of the show. Pretty soon, people are gonna say “why should we vote at all?”

if it does turn out that all four stick around and next week each judge picks a song for a contestant….

please don’t let randy pick for allison.

awww, Kris is so darn cute. :wub_tb:

not singing

wrong thread.

Did anyone in the LA area hear Me scream when Seacrest announced Danny was doing “Dream On’?? I just couldn’t fathom it. Particularly since there was a guy right there in the audience who could’ve come up and totally killed it… I’m talking about ACE YOUNG! He frequently does it in his live shows and he can Really nail that scream!

Danny’s performance just dropped 1 point further to 9 on WNTS. He’s officially tied with Jasmine Trias to have produced the worst Top 4 final peformance.
