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.

With all her experience, why is Miley Cyrus so awful on stage?

ETA: I'm glad they saved Matt, but 2 are leaving next week now which will be sad, we'll have to say goodbye to him eventually. And Anoop needs to check his attitude, he's a little too transparent with his irritation in getting in the bottom 3. Which is sure to get him back in the bottom 3.

Well, I am sure next week the voting will be rather high, as one will need to make extra sure their favorite does not fall through the crack...

Matt being the bottom was kind of obvious. I think the judges DID throw him under the bus a little, but Anoop, Kris, and Allison did do better... Lil and Danny were my least fav of the night, but they are still riding the wave a little, Danny of course way more than Lil, whose wave pretty much dead and hopefully sends her home next week, and Adam well, Adam is untouchable...

glad they saved him....he's the type the save was designed for.

I wonder how they will eliminate 2 next week....like, if there will be a bottom 3, or if there will be a different format for it.

I am guessing they will do it like they did when they had a top 13 and had to cut two that first week.

I was so HAPPY they brought Matt back, I would probably had stopped watching if they hadn't saved him....

This is just an okay season for me, I don't know if I see any of these guys hitting it big....

Is anyone else sick of Lil? She is just the same thing every week!

Yes! I'm also sick of the judges trying to get her to be an artist. She just isn't one. She's a singer, period.

No kidding! And, I know this falls under the "you are overanalyzing things" category, but did you notice how lifeless her eyes were? She just stared at one single spot in the audience the whole time. That's not to say she looked like a robot - because she actually moved and flipped her hair, etc, but her eyes...never registered any emotion. It was weird, in addition to the fact that the singing was bad.

Let's hope that next week, since they will be eliminating two, that the judges can pull it together during critiques so everyone gets time to hear their comments. (good or bad)

I'm glad they saved Matt last night, but I wish Lil would've been in the bottom and they would've cut her. She hasn't been good at all for weeks and weeks, it's time for her to go home.

I see Adam or Danny winning it all.

Leslie Anne · #11 04-15-2009, 11:01 PM

Is anyone else finding it hard to zero in on a favorite this year? For the most part, I like everyone who's left but I don't love any of them.

srmom · #12 04-16-2009, 12:06 PM

Kris is cuter. Matt needs to cut off that huge mole on his forehead, it is distracting. (sorry, but true)

Matt was all over the place when he goes into his falcetto, although I thought he was better last night than Tuesday.

I really liked the song Kris sang Tuesday and am going to download it, but I'm not a huge Kris fan. I think he's been uneven this year from week to week.

I'm with Leslie Anne, I'm having a hard time deciding who I'm backing. Maybe I really just don't like any of them that much!

Bingo.

I am only marginally interested in this season, and I think it is because there is no Carrie Underwood, David Cook, Chris Daughtry, etc. In other words, no blow-me-away-singing and true rags to (deserved) riches arc with this group.

Yes, Adam is a good singer, but he turns off many people (myself included) because he is just so over the top theatrical. Danny has a touching story line, but let's be honest... outside of the CCM market he won't do much. Alison was born to sing and perform... but the types of songs she should be doing vocal wise do not fit with a 16 year old girl. In other words, she could have laid low for a few years, then surfaced as a true rocker, and one who has more life experience to sing about.

Anoop- love him, but again, his market is not the pop charts, as he skews too old and needs to capitalize on ballads. Matt- I may be the minority but I am not feeling him either. He seems smug... I find it hard to relate to him, whereas I would love to go grab a beer with Noop. Lil- no comment necessary.

Kris? I actually like his voice, his personality, and I guess would like to see him win. However, he strikes me as someone who would rather just perform on open-mike night in his hometown than to carry an entire live show himself.

Give me Susan Boyle any day of the week. THAT is a story, and a person who you can't help but cheer for.

PeppyGPhiB · #14 04-16-2009, 01:10 PM

I'm pulling for Alison to win it all.

Two go home tonight... everyone seems to think lil is a goner... but that kind of thinking could lead those desperate a few lovers to vote like crazy and cause her to stay... God I hope NOT... i don't want to see her again and hope the odds follow through... The 2nd being? Well I dont know if it will be Matt or Anoop (and if Lil is saved, then both of them)... but since 2 are going it could be really wild... could this be the end of Goeky, my dreams could but never do come true... I'm betting on Lil and Anoop, just because Matt will get more of the, OMG, we need to save him vote since he was almost eliminated last week... Adam, still awesome, but I dont think AS awesome as previous weeks, thats just me...
