    In fact Sarah we feel you should find another topic to go to now.... Maybe one on a CHILDRENS show or something c-ya later.

    I am going to start a petition for you to be removed as a mod of this forum ;)

    Dial Idol has Allison and Kris in the bottom 2 which is a bunch of BS. Sorry but if they wasted their save on Matt last week and these 2 go home, I am going to be mad. Kris showed last night he has what it takes.

    http://www.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/predictions.asp

    It has Lil in the top. She obviously has a fan base.


    Dial Idol was way off last week so hopefully that is true again this week.

    Ok, finally watching this since I had to DVR it last night.

    My favorites were Kris, Adam, Danny, Anoop and Matt. Allison's performance was kinda boring, and Lil was horrible. I think she really needs to go! And I gotta say, I would be really surprised if Kris goes home. I thought his performance this week was the best over all. I liked Adam's but somewhere in the middle of the song, I thought he sounded like he was really screaming.... so he lost points with me.

    I will be really surprised if Lil is around another week, but stranger things have happened on Idol.

    somewhere in the middle of this post you lost points with me :umm:

    They all danced really well for that group song but that Ford commercial was weird

    At least we're hearing some disco songs sung disco-style tonight. And anyone wondering what KC of Sunshine Band fame looks like today now will wonder no more...

    Right when his name was said I thought of Kim and the comment she made on here earlier

    Freda Payne looked good and sounded good. Thelma Houston needed to find a dress that fit better. I thought she was going to pop out at the bust and the front was way to short

    oh man KC is old

    Even the commercials have nice music tonight

    I just got a reminder of what I did not like about David A

    I thought David sounded great! He is such a sweet young man. :)

    Not sad to see Lil go, I think Anoop did pretty dang good overall in competition considering he was wild card spot #13, I would have rather seen Matt go tonight, but Anoop probably would have gone next week if not this week

    Agreed. It was nice to see him again. I would so never buy his music but what a sweet young guy.

    Overall, the results were predictable. The first one -- about time. The second -- sang great tonight and will be missed but it was still time. (And I don't think it was pissed, I think it was disappointed because this person know they were going home.)

    I agree, definitely predictable week. I think he did great, but it's getting down to the wire now and they are going to have to let even the good ones go.

    It will most likely be Adam, Danny, Kris in the final. The girls just really did NOT represent this year. :nea:

    And I am going to keep posting in here, even with MY lost points.... :p :lol: ;)

    Still not a fan of Adam. He has an OK voice but screeches alot of the time.

    I'm just not feeling the love for Adam. There is no way that I would buy his CD.
    I think he would be great on Broadway.

    What is next week's theme?

    I think that the first person who went home should have ... the second person deserved another week. But whatever, he's not going to win.

    That disco medley was GOD AWFUL! The one in the middle wasn't bad .. but Band of Gold? I was SO embarrassed for how bad that was!

    You say Broadway as if that's a bad thing, Julie. :lol: I think he is amazing, I'd buy anything he recorded, AND I'd love to see him on Broadway. Again, think Sebastian Bach (who is completely underrated as a vocalist). ;) I have an entire Adam playlist on my iPod. I've d/l every single performance on iTunes and they are simply amazing, even better than his performances. His voice is just magical. But hey, that's just me. :lol: And I'm not alone. Everyone I talk to from my hairdresser to my boss is voting for Adam. :D

    Ok, he looked fine, but sounded a bit off!! ( I ffwd after he got started)

    Chrissy, I totally thought we were going to have a "Wardrobe Malfunction" - SHE kept looking :eek: to see if she was exposed!!! That was NOT a flattering look. Sorry! This is a case of, if you got it - don't flaunt it - HIDE it!

    When they were doing the choreography that Paula did (which was better than in weeks past in my opinion.) they did a great job and Adam's a natural. I actually think that Matt G. has some moves!

    I am actually REALLY happy with the results. I think that Matt G. is more talented than Anoop and it was TIME for Lil! I like her, but it was time.

    Yes, David A is a sweet kid. I think that song was HORRIBLE. He's really lucky that Simon didn't have a say afterwards! He was so nice to the two in the bottom. I think Allison was a little starstruck the way she stood there looking at him. CUTE! Finally a bit of 16 yr. oldness from her.

    I think the top three are Adam, Kris and Danny - Allison will be #4!

    OH! ALSO...Did you notice they STARTED with Adam for many weeks and saved him. MY THEORY is that he was the #1 vote getter. Well, last night they started with KRIS! I think he might have been the #1 vote getter for the week!!

    I was thinking the same thing about Adam on Broadway as well. He's so much taller than the rest of the contestants and carries himself well!

    Overall :clapping:

    As much as I love Adam's voice, I would not actually mind seeing Kris win. Adam will do just fine without a win (think Chris Daughtry) and Kris might need the boost from a win. He is very talented and has a lot of appeal. Matt really needs to step up his confidence. He still always looks so unsure of himself, especially when he is not performing.

    I was not surprised to see that one of Adam's musical idols is Freddie Mercury. He has a lot of Freddie in him and I think Freddie would be proud. Chrissy, maybe we will get some Queen out of him yet!! (Freddie Mercury, btw, happens to be my all time top favorite vocalist - yes even over Mr. Tyler, so it's not surprising I like Adam, I guess.)

    About the choreography - ITA Adam is a natural and Matt seemed to be very comfortable with the whole thing. The others seemed clumsy.

    David A showed me what I did not like about his voice/style. His lows imo were breathy and boring. Simon would have had a field day if he critiqued any of the visiting artists this season except for maybe a few.

    Allison looked like a teen this show. It was nice seeing her physically (clothing/makeup) and emotionally look her age.

    I have to agree with your theory "OH! ALSO...Did you notice they STARTED with Adam for many weeks and saved him. MY THEORY is that he was the #1 vote getter. Well, last night they started with KRIS! I think he might have been the #1 vote getter for the week!! "

    Out of all the idols I have bought (Clay Aiken :p ), Blake Lewis and David Cook. I think that is it. I am not a Daughtry fan at all, sorry folks, too whiney for me.

    Adam is AMAZING, oh did you hear that I said AMAZING. He is vocally fantastic. I think he is going to rock out and if he does not do some Queen I will be so sad. I think this is the first year that Simon watches and is blown away by a contestant.

    And seriously, with Danny, how can people watch him and not think Taylor Hicks??? If you take his personal life out of it, close your eyes... he is totally Taylor Hicks. Just saying. Kris is 100 times more original and talented than Danny.

    Peace out to the rest of the contestants but it better be Kris and Adam in the top 2!!!

    Just a funny tidbit about KC and the sunshine band. I have seen him live...not once but twice over the last several years!!! :rolleyes: So last night was no surprise. Although, my DH and I both thought he was looking even more like "Tony Soprano"!

    KC performed at 2 different derm conferences that we attended...sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Guess that's his biz now. Anyway, when we saw him last...I guess 2-3 yrs ago, he looked like he was going to fall over after the 3rd song with a heart attack. Sweat pouring, weak voice. He had a lot of back up singers helping. It was just horrible!!

    I was reading online that next week's theme is Rat Pack Week. I guess that would mean songs by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc. That could be interesting. I'd like to hear someone try The Way You Look Toinght. Not sure if it has to be a Rat Pack singer or you could do something from the 40s or 50s? (or even the 60s) But lots of classic songs could be under consideration - Try a Little Tenderness, I've Got a Crush on You, Stormy Weather, That Old Black Magic, Everybody Loves Somebody, Come Fly with Me, Luck Be a Lady, Lady is a Tramp, I've Got You Under My Skin, Can't Take That Away From Me. That's Amore and there's a whole Sinatra library I didn't really touch.

    Taylor Hicks is performing too on the results show. Not sure if there will be a mentor or not. Considering the original Rat Packers have all died it would have to be someone who was a 2nd tier Rat Packer?

    I, too, am not the biggest Adam fan in the world. I think he's got talent, but I hear the screeching, too. :tomato: I missed the results show (was at the Red Sox game and we don't have dvr), but I think it was time for Lil and if Anoop didn't go this week, it would've been next week. I still like him though.

    I am looking forward to Rat Pack week!! That will be fun, I love those songs you mentioned Craig.

    How funny. That "screeching" is part of what I LOVE about his voice. Think Axl Rose. ;) It's okay, Mo. I still love you!! :D

    Axl!! Exactly!!! Matt should do well. As Piano Bar guy, he's got to know SO MANY songs! (as in - he doesn't have to learn a lot of songs, probably has a great memory!)

    We are a couple teenagers. They used to put the top downloaded AI songs on there but then they thought that showed who was getting the most votes so they stopped. I would be interested to find out which contestant gets the most downloads though and if this year is up. I have to agree that this group is the most talented and unique than they have ever had.

    Yep, 46 year old teenager here! :lol: I will say every single one of Adam's d/l has been fantastic, even ten times better than the performance. I've got one Anoop and one Megan d/l too along wtih Kris from this week. All sound really great. Well worth the money.
