Adam's performance was hideous. As someone else said, I felt like I was watching a drag act. But as bad as his was, I thought Megan's was worse. She kinda sings like she's half burping-half singing.

She's the VFTW contestant right now. She's not going anywhere, IMO.

I would like to say that NO ONE should EVER be allowed to do a Johnny Cash or Patsy Cline song on AI --EVER...

I am SO THANKFUL that no contestant was stupid enough to sing George Jones' He Stopped Loving Her Today. THAT, my friends, would have had me hurling objects and curse words at my tv... It makes me sick that they even gave it as an OPTION...

Also, anyone notice that Scott blabbed that the producers had given his top picks to other people the past few weeks???

Megan is a dead ringer for my old college roommate - it is freaky!!! She was beautiful too - an SMU Rotunda Beauty. Strange! I can't watch her without having sympathy feelings because of the resemblence - But - she was terrible.

I loved Kris and will buy that song on Itunes today. I thought it was so beautiful, like you could imagine him singing it to his wife - such a love song.

The rest - Anoop good, Matt good, the rest meh.

Am I the only one who finds Megan's dancing to be AWFUL? It truly makes me want to poke my eyeballs out. Srsly.

One more comment on last night -

I am really getting sick and tired of the whole Paula/Simon feud. It is distracting and self indulgent. Why can't they disagree without this pretend/or notso pretend fight every time?

I feel sorry for the contestant who is standing up there dying to hear what they think (and let's admit it, they really want to know what Simon thinks rather than Paula). The fight between them about Scott was embarassing- for them and for Scott IMO.

Also, last week, the bickering took so much time that the last few contestants were barely critiqued.

Scott mentioned the "hatpicks" and I thought that meant there were some songs that more than one contestant wanted to sing, so they drew names out of a hat to see who got to sing them.

well, johnny cash was doing NIN songs, and he changed that up a bit...

I loved it. I think it was wicked and dark, and the song lyrics work with it... to me though, he sounded like the Darkness, not NIN

Adam's problem is... the people that are going to REALLY think that was awesome... were not watching the show... he would be more suited to Rockstar INXS... of course, they don't have that anymore

I thought Adam was terrible last night! Can he please go home already? I did not know what to think about his song last night. I agree with everyone who has already said it sounded like a drag queen performance. I do not see why everyone likes him so much. You don't butcher Johnny Cash's songs! You can tell that Randy Travis didn't know what to think himself.

I thought Matt and Kris were awesome last night! Definitely my favorite performances of the night.

Okay, I'll be the voice of dissent here - Megan wasn't THAT bad and I kinda liked it.

I also enjoyed Matt, Kris, Anoop, Danny, and Allison. I couldn't even bear to watch or listen Adam. I enjoy Adele's version of "Make You Feel My Love" so much that I forgot Garth Brooks (and a whole crapload of others) sang it once too.

I won't be sad if Alexis, Megan, or Sarver go home. It even seems like Lil Rounds gets more and more boring every week.

I agree with you OTW! Adam was awful and to me he has been very fake since day one. Allison is one of my top favorites and Anoop was really good last night. I still like Kris and afterall he is married to an AOII!

Adam....words cannot express how horrible HORRIBLE that song was....you do not mess with Johnny Cash!!!!!!!!!!

When Randy Travis doesn't know what to say....you know something is wrong.....

He may not see himself as a country artist...but it is country week...there are other songs you can do besides butchering classics.

I loved Matt, Danny, and Anoop. (in that order...)

I hope Michael Carver is going home tonight. I thought his stage performance was terrible, his voice wasnt that good, and he butchered one of the best Garth songs ever.

ASTalumna06 · #13 03-18-2009, 09:13 PM

Did anyone else notice how much rhythm Megan DIDN'T have in that group performance? She should never dance. Ever.

nittanyalum · #14 03-18-2009, 09:20 PM

Funny how just getting on the tour is now an end-game in itself.

ETA: That was mean to do to Michael

nittanyalum · #15 03-18-2009, 09:41 PM

Wow, I hate the bottom 3! I know my dream of only a Bottom 1 wasn't possible (looking at you, Megan), but Michael and Alexis??! Very sad.

And oh! I was just about to say I'd only want to see Alyson leave out of this group, but she just got declared safe! I like both Michael and Alexis, I'll feel bad for whoever leaves....
