It can only be used once. I'm guessing you're questioning this comment:

I think what was meant by this is that everyone will think, "We need to vote for Matt so that the judges save from last week wasn't wasted," so to speak.

Anyway... Anoop and Lil should definitely be going home. I like Anoop, but he's not as strong as the other contestants. And Lil hasn't had a great performance in forever.

This is what I was referring to, should have quoted it.

Glad they can use it only once. I could see it getting annoying in future years if it came out a lot.

Oh I think that meant that if Lil doesn't go home, then it will be Matt and Anoop.

I do like Matt, and I'd like to see him stay for a little while longer, but I don't know who else I'd want to see go home before him besides Lil and Anoop. Basically.. it's getting very difficult now, and after this week, if someone has a bad performance (or even just an ok one), they're probably guaranteed to be going home.

I disagree on Allison... I find her rather polished. She seems to know what kind of artist she is and how to accomplish that. She has been consistent in being herself, and that is rare for 16 year olds on this show. Furthermore, she has a lot of experience, as she has been performing professionally for several years now.

Matt has a great voice, I just find him a bit boring. Not has boring as Danny, but boring. There is not anything that wows me with him, as to say Adam, Allison or Chris

[a.e.B.O.T.]

True! I have to say that if you were to compare the top 7 with previous top 7, it is generally a good crop. Matt, Chris, Adam, Danny, and Allison undoubtably have talent enough to be satisfactory winners of the competition in comparison to previous winners. Lil and Anoop also have talent as well, with the latter occasionally being one of the better performances of the respective week... So really, to each his/her own is the best way to look at this group in regards to who goes home from now own...

with that said, LIL must go home soon, or I will feel that we live in an unjust world!!! lol... DialIdol predicts the people going home based on their busy signals, and according to them, she had one of the highest votes last night. That scares me... While they are not setting a prediction this time around because it was too close to call this week, Allison and Chris have the lowest number, with Matt and Anoop being close behind, that scares me....

I usually hate Kris, but I really liked his preformance....

I wish the judges would strat noticing that Danny is doing the same old thing every week! He is good, but boring....

Matt was okay....

Adam rocked!

I hate Lil!

Dial Idol can't predict, though Matt, Kris, and Allison are the lowest...with Lil as the 2nd under Adam....gag!!!

[a.e.B.O.T.]

well, Dialidol did not get this one right, or the idol producers even had enough and rigged it so she goes home.. bye bye LIL... and I understand Allison being in the B3 cuz Matt would get the extra support since he was last last week... but if she goes, not fair!!!

And I do think that I agree with you about Allison. I like her, but not enough to keep her around for too much longer. Actually, after tonight, I probably wouldn't vote to keep her longer than next week (assuming that all of the performances go well).

Well, based on talent and not opinion, I can agree with that... Matt needs to go first, but the rest are a free for all based on opinion... ALTHOUGH I do not understand Goeky appeal or TALENT... there is something to be said for others fonding over him, and his never being in the B3... so I can know that there is probably talent there that is not appealing to me... Adam and Chris have also showed amazing talent and appeal... Allison has lacked that a little (in the appeal part) almost as much as Matt... So yes, I see Allison going soon, but hopefully Matt first...

I also like upsets, so I am hoping Adam or Goeky being eliminated by freak chance as they are deemed by most to be the final 2... and obviously by my previous text, I hope it is Goeky going... a Chis and Adam final two will finally be a final two chalked full of talent and originality...

The way you feel about Danny is the way I feel about Kris. I seriously just don't see the appeal and wish he would go home. Whereas I really like Danny, enjoy his performances, and think he's very talented. Though I think he does need to mix it up a bit. And I really like Allison too. But I can't stand Adam. Do I think he has some talent? Yes. Do I enjoy him or his performances? No. He sounds like Axel Rose to me when he screeches. Bleh.

Adam had me at Ring of Fire... his "screech" as you put is was very controlled and showed amazing range. AND its always something new. Danny doesn't have any surprise to me. I don't feel like there is much different from one performance to the next. That is why, also, I give kudos to Kris. That is my main schtick: diversity or uniqueness... Then there is Danny's song selection... I only wish I could pick his songs... 'What Hurts the Most,' 'Jesus Take the Wheel,' 'Endless Love,' 'Hero' ... its all sap and little bite. There is nothing wrong with these songs, he has just chose way too many of them for my tastes... (of course, I am not a teenage girl (and I know you are not either) but I bet that these songs really appeal to them...)

Ditto.

I didn't like Adam at first but he's won me over. He and Kris are my top two.

Anyone feel like Danny and Adam are this year's Archie and Cook? It's like a total repeat of last season...sweet, likeable Danny vs. inovative Adam.
