I was blown away when she sang that Patty Loveless song "Blame it on your Heart". Girl is very versatile. So, she's versatile, Adam is versatile. They should have been 1 & 2. Where were the Spanish/Mexican voters in all this? Let me just add, I’m not a country music fan at all, but I think Allison, when she’s not rocking out has great pipes for country.

Adam & Allison have kept it interesting to my rocker chick heart, but Kris (and Danny...yikes) appeal to that part of me that likes folk, soul, and Southern Rock. I'm grateful to all of them. This has been a very entertaining season for me. I actually like the studio version of Renegade. No haters, please.

If he feels he wants to say something at some point then fine but he's under no obligation to do so at any time. He wants to be an entertainer and he's good at it. Let him entertain.

Hopefully they are up on YouTube because I've yet to buy a studio performance this year. But I am finding myself interested in hearing them. I just haven't found anybody that I'm so invested in that I need to hear their music more than once or twice. I don't need to pay for it to do that. I enjoyed playing the YouTube studio versions for my extremely (OTT) jazzified father last week. I'm a classic rock freak myself so will use my own ears...don't need affirmation like I did last week, though the dadster (who has about 6,000 jazz CD's) pretty much echoed my thoughts which was interesting... OK so I'm back and well, I loved them in this order: Kris (yeah well I'm also an Americana/Alt Country freak--sorry I forgot to mention that tidbit before-- and I loved his take) If I was going to break down and spend money on the idols this week, this would be the one Allison has an amazing voice. She really doesn't have range but she has an amazing tone. I just guess I'm partial to Janis and maybe because she has a similar tone, I find her sorta wannabe Adam does have amazing range but his tone leaves me cold. I find no richness in it...nothing to make me excited. Danny sucks...have nothing much else to say about him. OK, I thought I didn’t care all that much, but I’m off to listen to them.

Oh, no, no — she sounds a hundred times better! Sorry, I cannot stand Janis’ voice — having Allison sing Cry Baby and (via the now-deceased Youtube video) Piece of My Heart was a real gift, because they’re great blues-rock-oriented songs that I can now properly enjoy (at least Cry Baby — hopefully the Youtube will reappear).
