I knew it had to come sometime. Apparently tonight was the night. I must need new ears because on all songs but one, we were obviously listening to different performances.
Danny - This is the one and only time the judges and I agreed. I thought he was amazing. I loved how he started out on the slow soft side of things and ended the song on the fast and fun side. I think he is not only a great singer but a fantastic entertainer and I just love him! GO DANNY!!!!!!
Kris - I was annoyed by the gaggle of girls that surrounded him - because I couldn't see him. I thought the song was cool and fun, but the judges didn't really seem to care for it or his rendition or anything else. I did think Randy had a good point (for everyone, not just for Kris) about remembering to not let the song do the owning. The competition is for the singer, not the song. But I thought he did a better job than they gave him credit for.
Lil - I thought this week was her best look so far. Loved the outfit, loved the hair. I thought (for the first time all season) both fit her very well. I loved the song and thought it fit her better than anything she'd sung so far - and then the judges ripped her apart. I thought it was kind of mean of the camera people to zone in SO CLOSE on her face when she was so close to tears.
Anoop - I didn't even remember that he had overreacted to Kara's comment last week but it was nice of him to apologize. I didn't love the beginning of his song this week - I thought he was reaching for notes throughout - and I thought the whole song was forgettable - and then the judges LOVED IT. I can't win.
Scott - Ooh!! No piano!! I was glad to see him away from it - just for a change of pace, but I did not like him with the guitar - and I agreed with Paula about the acoustic thing. I think he should have just plain worked on the singing. I loved the song, I thought he sounded great - and then of course, the judges didn't like it.
Allison - I did not like the song, but I thought she sounded amazing as she always does. I just thought the song didn't suit her - but then the judges loved it. Sigh. I loved watching Allison's mom react to her critique. CUTE. Did anyone else think the judges were trying to buy her some votes by talking her up a lot? I'm not saying she doesn't deserve the votes; she totally does. But since she's been in the bottom 3 so much, do you think they're trying to bump her out of there so they don't have to worry about using the save?
Matt - WOW. That was a Matt we've not seen for a while and I thought he was amazing. Really great. What cracked me up the most was his video at the beginning. When he talked about being in the church musical Angels Aware? I KNOW THAT ONE!!! And in fact, when they showed the clip, I still remembered the lines. Sad, I'm sure, but true. That musical had some great songs in it. It's how I learned the Ten Commandments and I still sing that song to remember which commandment goes with which number.
Adam - Still scares me a bit - but obviously very good. I will admit I was SHOCKED that Simon gave him a standing ovation. That is unheard of - and I wasn't sure it was quite THAT good - but I was still glad for him. I think he is a great performer.
Bottom 3? Probably Scott - Lil and Anoop? Not sure who will get the boot. If that really is the bottom 3, I have no idea who has the biggest fan base to save them.

I thought the standouts were Danny, Allison, Matt and I'll go out on a limb here and guess Adam.
I love our DVR, but daggone it, the thing cut off the performance just before Adam sang, so I have no idea what he sang. However you and Peter liked it, so I'm sure it was good.
American Idol is really running overtime a lot this season.
The bottom three should be Scott, Lil and Anoop. Technically, Scott should go home.
Hey Christina I had the same problem I missed Adam too, but I didn't care because I don't like him haha.
I liked Kris and Allison tonight. Just thought danny was OK I didn't think it was as good as he's been lately. I am sorry but I thought scott was AWFUL.
Wishful bottom three Scott Anoop LiL(we agree!)
I checked Dial Idol and it has Kris in trouble OUGHT OH. Maybe we'll see the save come into play
Well if the judges hadn't argued so much about some of the earlier contestants, they wouldn't have run over! I always hate it for the later ones who get rushed through because everyone is running out of time.
I'm glad we all agree on a bottom 3 though! Doesn't Kris have enough smitten girl fans to save him??
Just went by scooters to get my daily vanilla coke, still no mom and pops! I am getting worried bekah haha :)
Well yesterday they were at a funeral. It's always something, isn't it?
Bummer - Scott's gone. I must give him credit for the job he's done. Can't wait for his CD to come out, which will be soon since he won't have to be on tour with the AI group!
Adam is a "goth" person, period. That and effeminate gay, both of which has him totally off my consideration for votes. However, I think Adam is the ONLY one all four would vote to save; and they are saving the "save" for him, just in case. Bummer.
My BIG complaint is this: WHY NO ROCK N ROLL and why so much balladeering?
SIGH
Hi Bekah. I am Skye Puppy's cardiac nurse friend. She is at my house right now showing me your blog because I love American Idol. Adam is my very favorite. I am shocked that not everyone loves him
Your predictions were right on! Scott was an inspiration, but I think it was his time to go. I don't think he's Idol material, but hopefully this will put him in a good position to where he can make a record that's his way and not the Idol way. I bet Anoop is the next to go and they won't use the save on him. Then it will be down to the last chance to use the save, probably between Lil, Matt and Kris? They'll use the save, but then the next week they have to send 2 home, so we'll see. Adam is definately safe and he'll probably be in the top 2, and most likely win it all. Those are my predictions... Viva la American Idol!
I miss you, Bekah!
