Very glad it was Scott who went home and not Anoop. I was really surprised only 30,000 votes separated the two. I just didn't see how Scott could fit into the American Idol persona. He could probably put out a Billy Joel-like album, but that's it. I don't see people lining up to get tickets to his concerts or him appealing to a mass audience.

I was going to be really disappointed if Lil Rounds was cut and the judges saved her. She was good in earlier rounds but has been continuously disappointing each week.

Agreed. He's pretty good, but not as good as the others who are left, IMO. It was his time. Though I will be interested to see the show from here on out - I agree with a PP because there is some real talent this season and if a great singer has an off week, it could very well be quits.

Did anyone else think Kellie Pickler's performance was awful? She kept doing a deer in headlights look with her eyes, and she just sounded terrible.

You're kidding, right? I didnt realize how much I liked that song until she sang it last night. I thought she was great.

No I was being dead serious lol. I love country and like Kellie Pickler, but my boyfriend and I both thought she sounded terrible. That also isn't my favorite song of hers though.

She did sound terrible. She was miserably off key.

Just the mention of Kellie Pickler makes me not want to watch the Idol return show that I dvr'ed......

I hate that girl, and I have hated her since she was on Idol....she is so fake, and her voice is not that great...

But she looked AMAZING!!

I'm totally bored tonight. It just goes to show that even the best contestants vocally will suck if the songs are not interesting.

I thought Danny was terrible but the judges slobbered over him whereas I didn't think Matt was bad at all (just that one falsetto note) but the judges threw him under the bus. I don't get this show.

I thought Anoop killed it tonight!

I was also bored....I thought Allison ruined the Aerosmith song...

Matt was the best...as usual....

Another vote for bored...but I really liked Kris last night. I have been a big Adam fan so far, but just thought his performance was bleh.

I hated the judging pairs idea - another bad idea imo. And, again, what is it with the producers that they cannot keep this show going on time? Poor Kris, his critiques were glossed over quickly while others were long and repetitive.

Please, someone, take the Bartlett's Book of Quotations away from Paula. She makes no sense whatsoever!

I loved Kris's song last night. I thought it was beautiful! What was it, what movie was it from and who sings it IRL?

It's from the movie Once.
