I love this guy and anticipate his future whatever musical direction he chooses. Though I do favor his r&b/soul flavor, his voice is butter to my ears. In fact, "You Found Me", is a song I never cared for, but now love. He's a sincere singer/musician, and I feel that. Not so much with the other contestants (Kris perhaps). For those who do listen to the studio versions, I'm sure you can agree Matt is amazing; ready for radio, IMO, and I'm buying. Matt is so great, IMO.

Tess, you are right. It is good that people have different opinions and it does keep the show interesting and the blog interesting. I wish sometimes the comments weren't quite so mean spirited, including my own at times. I wanted to comment on the impersonations from the other night. Wasn't it cool how much they all seemed to like each other and get along? They were having fun, not being mean. Even in their exit interviews on Idol Tonight they have nothing but positive things to say about each other and that includes Danny and Adam. I didn't find Danny's impersonation of Matt any more offensive than Matt's impersonation of Danny on the taped segment or Allison's impersonation of him during the show. They all seemed to take it in good fun. Anoop's impersonation of Kris cracked him up. I love the way they all step in to help Scott when he needs to get from point A to point B. I like the way he was included in the fun at the "mansion". This just seems to be a really nice group of people. The best dressed discussion above was kind of interesting. I love Adam, can't stand the way he dresses usually, but loved him in the gray suit singing Tracks of My Tears. Awesome! Same with Allison. Love her, can't stand her clothes. But I am over 30 so maybe am just not hip enough to appreciate them. Lady Gaga for example to me was Lady Gag-Gag. Danny has a more casual look. I think people are put off by his glasses, maybe, but as a glasses wearer myself, I think it is cool that he is playing with it and making it a part of who he is. Good for him. I like Matt and Kris's downhome kind of dressing. Both look comfortable. To be honest I haven't noticed what Anoop and Scott are wearing, so it is clearly not something that is offensive to me or something that I love. Megan would be hard pressed not to look awesome no matter what she wears because she has that classic Hollywood beauty and doesn't seem to cover it up with anything too outrageous. The Caws and arm flapping were outrageous enough. I think Lil dresses too old. She always looks elegant and beautiful, but she looks 30 not in her early 20s. I would like to see a younger looking Lil. Maybe it is because she is a mother so young, but wouldn't it be fun to see her losen up a little bit and act like a young person. I do find her more personable than Syesha and just as talented. Well, I hope I haven't offended anyone. There isn't anyone on the show that I believe shouldn't be there. I did think there were better singers than Megan that didn't make the top 12, but of those remaining, all are talented and I wish them all good luck. I believe it will be hard for anyone to knock Adam and Danny out of the top 2 position, but Kris and Lil might have the best shot at it. Allison and Scott don't seem to have the fanbase and Anoop's fanbase has kept him in it this far, but I agree there do not appear to be many converts to Anoopdom. Matt just seems to be on a downhill slide the last few weeks. I hope he can turn it around because I like his bluesy sound. It should be a fun and interesting remainder of the season and I am getting some really nice downloads from I-tunes already. So hopefully we can all lighten up a little bit and enjoy the ride.

I really only care about my first four there but I believe that Matt is the lesser of two evils when it comes to Anoop. To this day I cannot get his evil face out of my head, I know it is crazy but you caught a glimpse into his real side, I think, when he allowed that mean evil stare for a second after Simons critiques last week. I dont know but I also cannot get past his Beat It performance either I guess. I would like the top three to be Kris, Adam and Allison. "MJ, please donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t ban baxter, she was just offering her own opinion about a contestant on the show. " I agree with this and it would be a little boring without the mistress of harsh - I imagine her sitting back with a cigarette hanging out the side of her mouth, swilling a whisky sour - why is that? She can be pretty cranky but an interesting read. I pretty much agree with all that you said Mj – my top 5 would be Adam, Kris, Allison, Danny and Matt.
