Wow, Kris or Adam go home, I will be really confused, because I think most people were pretty confident it would be Matt or Allison to go home... It also makes me think, the whole adam is going to win attention whether i like him or not needs to shift to Gokey... because although he was decent last night, def. not his best but got more votes than Kris and Adam...

I think there was a little bang with Adam being in the bottom two. He's been such a golden boy thus far I was surprised. But I definitely think the right person went home tonight - I wasn't a fan of Matt's performance last night.

Well, yes, a little bang was there... but I am putting money on the fact that NOW, he will be the one next week that is not in the bottom 3

I think you're right that he is more theatre than pop star. But I don't want to see him in the theatre either. I just find him über-annoying.

Except for his performance on Disco Week (which was fantastic), I don't think any of his other performances were that great. He seems like the type of guy who plays his guitar at a coffee shop and then you leave and forget about him.

Frankly, that's how I feel about all of them. (Except, as noted, Adam -- he's the guy in the communuty theatre play who's got a really good voice but is just way too over the top.) Not a one that I care about hearing again -- which I guess explains why I didn't bother to join the family watching this week.

I did not like the theme this week, I was bored most of the time, and skipped through with tivo....

Adam's preformance was great, as was Danny's....Adam should not have been in the bottom 2...No way....

ComradesTrue 04-30-2009 08:14 PM

^^^ I too loved the theme, but then again, I have loved that type of music for quite some time.

While it was nice to see Adam in the bottom two, I fear that it will mobilize all his fans (who are they again???) to keep him safe next week.

I am pulling for the underdogs- Kris and Allison.

That is usually the way I go, for the underdogs, not because for the fun of their success, but usually, the ones I like are the underdogs by default. This season, rarely, my fave is not an underdog... HOWEVER, I love the underdogs too, i think kris and allison are great as well... so I guess one would say that I am rooting anti-danny... therefor, i am rather positive danny is going to win...

Winner
 
Adam is going to win the whole thing, he has such a HUGE fanbase, it's unbelievable.
For example, his video from this week's performance on youtube has 118,221 views, and the next highest viewed video from this week is Danny Gokey, 35,617

118,221 compared to 35,617....maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing a pretty BIG gap there.

A huge chunk of Adam's views could very well be from people who don't like him/vote for other contestants.

Are you 12?

ETA: I'm not surprised.

LOL

I wonder what draws these random ass people to GC?

I understand the Gokey appeal (just dont agree with it)... but after last night, come on... from the weird DooDooDoos to the 10 second screech at the end, you have to say he was the worst performance of the night... I feel he is safe due to the huge net of fans he has under him, and Kris is likely to go home, but seriously... I want to see some Gokey fans defend that...

srmom 05-06-2009 03:31 PM

No lie! My ears bled after that "note" he screamed at the end!! I don't think Kris did himself any favors either though...


It's a shame, I really like Kris!!

Kris played it safe, not really spectacular. He was totally not comfortable during the duet, which makes me think that he did not want to do that song... At the same time, Matt fans are going to go to him and Gokey... and with Gokey's bad performance, they could go to Kirs... Anywho, I think Kris is probably going home, but the Danny going home predictions are making me giggle...

Allison had a good night, but that could be a downfall with everyone thinking she was safe... Adam however, is definitely safe, the Glamberts, I am sure, were out in full force last night with bleeding fingers...

srmom 05-06-2009 04:05 PM

Yeah, I thought that was Allison's best performance. She should definitely do the rock thing... She's definitely a better singer than Miley Cyrus for heaven's sake!!

My 17 year old son, who does NOT watch AI (in fact gives me unmitigated heck for doing so) heard her and thought she was pretty impressive. He is a HUGE music snob, as most 17 year olds are, so that's high praise ;)

I hope she makes it another week
