    Country week is my least favorite Idol show. How ironic that the two who might have been the most authentic country performers (Michael and Alexis) might be the most in danger of going home? I personally think Scott will be voted off - he's just okay and I sort of wonder if the producers would want him to be a part of the touring 10? (I'm guessing they'd be fine with Alexis and the other nine being in there) I also thought Lil was forgettable for the second straight week.

    Really I thought Anoop was the best of the evening. Nobody was god-awful tonight but nothing that will make the AI highlight reel either.

    I really liked Anoop and Matt too. Sorry I am still not digging Danny, I think he is a yeller when he sings.

    Anoop rocked it this week. Megan was the best chick.

    I guess I liked the night a bit more than Craig. I think Michael and Scott are in the biggest danger based on performances. But perhaps Kris, Megan or Alexis don't have the fan base that others might have?

    My favorites were Anoop, Allison, Kris and Matt. I didn't think Alexis was that bad - she sang with more emotion than most. I am mixed on Adam - it was interesting but his falsetto is starting to get a little bothersome (but I still look forward to his performances as was the case with David Cook last year). Sooner or later, he's going to have to be a little more traditional for at least one week. Megan is the other one starting to get on my nerves - just once with her I'd like to see wear an outfit with sleeves.

    One note on the Kris Allen song I didn't realize. That song isn't really a Garth Brooks song but was written by Bob Dylan and done by a ton of others including Brooks.

    Adam's performance was incredibly strange.
    But somehow I liked it.

    I love Allison and Danny because none of the judges have ever said anything bad about Allison or (I think) Danny.

    Ok, I hate hard rock, but how could I not love Adam this year? He did SOOO good tonight! (again, did I mention I hate hard rock?) The boy can sing!!!!!
    He is brilliant! And not afraid to take a risk. I love him!

    I liked Adam... I kept thinking Nine In Nails ... and The Darkness ... I loved his take on it.

    I hate Megan. I really can't stand anything about that girl. I hate her stupid weird dance moves ... and I just don't think she is that good. I would be fine with her going ...

    I loved Anoop ... he did fantastic ... and I really liked Kris too ...

    As for the girls ... no one was really great ... I liked Alison and Alexis ... but they didn't blow me away ... we are certainly going to have a male winner this year ...

    Anoop did AWESOME! Mr. Zero to Hero!

    I stand by my thoughts about Megan. She did lousy (flu or no flu). Her voice was way to "wavy" for me. Her dance moves are horrible. She seems like she is always trying to shake something!

    The novelty of Adam is wearing off on me.

    And WOW, I didn't even think about the producers MAYBE not wanting Scott on the tour.

    Kim and Paula thinking the same thing :huh:

    ;)

    Michael was good and I totally agree that "Country folk did understand what he was singing" and am not "country folk" and I understood all the words. He did well with the song but he is not a final 4.

    Allison was good but she seemed to lose her breath a few times in the song. Not her greatest and I am sick of hearing "Oh you could sing the alphabet or the phone book" A final 4 imo

    Kris sounded very nice tonight but it was a bit boring. I did not agree with the judges tonight. Also not an Idol final 4 imo

    Lil' not little just like Simon is not short for simonize. She impressed me tonight (first time) but I do not like her personality or the way she does not speak proper english. Not that I do all the time but her little mess ups bugged me a ton last night. Probably will be in the final 4

    Adam did great making that song his own. Not a country song the way he sang it but he is not a country singer. He did not totally trash it he made it interesting and new. I think Randy T was more impressed than he admitted. A final 4 imo.

    Scott was boring. I think the judges are being nice to him with their comments and they don't want to hurt his feelings. Not a final 4

    Alexis trashed that song. It was missing heart. Not that I like "the dirty" but it would have been a better performance if she put some in as the judges said. IMO not a final 4

    Danny did not impress me tonight. He puts his heart into the songs and I really like him but he could have done better, maybe chose a better song that gave more range. A final 4

    Anoop did do well tonight. Better than I thought he would but is not a final 4

    Megan did her quirky self again. She did well and I can't believe she was as sick as she was singing last night. I did not catch her mess ups because of being sick till I re watched the show. She is fun but is not a final 4

    Matt did well but was boring to me also. He has heart in his music but is not great. Not a final 4 imo

    I think Michael or Scott will go home tonight.




    What do you all think of the rumor going around in the news that Lil, Adam, Alexis and Danny were already decided on for the final 4?"


    edited to fix my oops Danny not David. I'm still thinking last season :D

    I absolutely can not stand Adam and I'm confused as to why everyone likes him. I love Matt and I think he is going to go very far. I just wish we could get rid of Adam so I don't have to listen to him screech and look and act like a freak anymore.

    OMG! I forgot about the "Little" thing ... DH and I could not stop laughing when he was calling her Little ... I'm guessing he was confusing it with "Lil' Kim" where Lil' is short for Little ... but I assumed her name was Lillian Rounds ... Lil for short ...

    but omg, I couldn't stop laughing at Simon ...

    As far as Adam goes, I think he is extremely talented.

    I didn't like Adam's performance really. I'm not a big fan of his over all (although last week I thought he did great).

    I liked Anoop, he redeemed himself last night. Danny was good, Matt was good. I'm thinking maybe Scott will go home this week or one of the girls (Alexis or Alison).

    Adam's rendition was bizarre, but we love him!!! He showed his voice off. His range (Johnny Cash couldn't hit notes like that! :winking: ) is off the charts!

    I still like Danny, Anoop killed last night!!! Allison is fun too!!

    I'm really starting to get SUPER tired of Kara!! :bad:

    People like him because the dude has chops and can sing! Vocally, his range is amazing. And he has a powerful voice. His performance last night was so weirdly fascinating. I totally loved it!

    I was so happy for Anoop too. He has got an amazing voice when he just sings.

    I loved Adam and thought he was fantastic! I totally agreed with Randy and Paula. He is so not a country artist (thank God!) but he took a country song and made it something completely different. Before Paula made her comments, I had already turned to Lou and said that it had a very Led Zeppelin/Kashmir vibe and then she said the same thing! How funny!! I just think he is awesome. While I would not like to see him do country any more, lol, he took a genre that was not his own and made it his. Very cool. He is amazing.

    I also really liked Danny, Anoop (yes!!), Megan Joy (so quirky, I totally dig her, and that is one country song I actually love), and Matt. All terrific this week.

    If I had to send one home it would be one of these: Michael, Kris or Scott. All very good singers but not stand out, imo, in their performances.

    I still HATE country music, though, even though there were some stellar performances this week.


    I loved Danny.
    He was great.

    Still liking Danny, Adam and Megan Joy. I remember them...they have a distinct style.

    I wonder if Adam's flamboyance will work against him with "middle" America. He is obviously out of the closet. As my close gay friend JR says, Adam is gay with a capital G. JR was telling me that photos have now been leaked online of Adam making out with his boyfriend and also in drag. While I think the era of gay prejudice is gone, who knows??

    On a side note....whenever I see Adam...he reminds me of the lead singer from the late 80's band Echo & the Bunnymen. Saw them in concert when I was in college then. Anyone else remember that band??

    DIAL IDOL SAYS....

    QUOTE
    The data suggests both Allison and Alexis are in trouble but Megan might surprise you. She got absolutely no West coast support which dropped her rank signficiantly. It really is a dead heat between the three of them but weak showing by Scott and Michael might put them in danger too. Scott & Michael's strength was clearly superior to Alexis and Allison - but not by so much that I would count them out. Hence the reason for this update.

    I'll be curious to see if this is true!!! :eek: ALLISON???????? :eek:

    I also don't care about Adam's orientation. He just strikes me as a theatre guy - wouldn't have assumed he was gay.

    I don't look up their orientation..so I don't vote because of that. heh I vote for their talent. But it may also be because I don't like the kind of music he is good at singing. I hated the song last night..but I love Johnny Cash. Most fans of country or Johnny Cash..hated what he did last night, you just dont touch his songs...

    My opinion anyways. :)

    Did tonight's show have the surprise that Ryan Seacrest hinted at during the opening? I'll leave it at that since I know we have some who haven't seen the show yet.

    Next week (Wednesday and Thursday - President Obama gets center-stage on Tuesday night) is 50 years of Motown so that's something I'll look forward to.

    And I need to find out from the country fans here what they thought of the Brad Paisley song and the Carrie Underwood/Randy Travis duet (which was kind of just a Carrie Underwood song backed up by a very underused Travis).

    I like country music..so I thought they all did a great job. I really love the song that Carrie and Randy did. It was painful to watch him sing though..like he is sick or something. He may just not sing that much anymore either..I don't know.

    I think if they can only save 1 person it would have been a waste to use their save so early on. However I think there are a few other people that should be out before that person.

    As for the performances. I just record the show and fast forward through them.

    I was not surprised by
    Michael and Alexis
    being in the bottom 3 but was surprised by
    Allison
    being there.

    I don't think the loser did any better with the final sing and am glad the judges did not waist the save on this person.

    I was not that excited about hearing Brad Paisley. I got to the show late and was happy to ffwd through some of the song. I did enjoy the Carrie Underwood/Randy Travis song.

    I did not like the car commercial group song or the opening group song. Can't decide which was worse. Both were horrible
