I think Matt is much better, but he's not cute like Kris or Danny...Matt's is the only album I would buy. (of past Idols, I've only bought Kelly Clarkson's and Daughtry's)

Well, I agree... I think he has the Jason Castro role of this season, boyish looks, limited vocals, but does a hell of a soft rendition behind the guitar... he has stronger vocals than Jason, and is much more confident, but it appears that that is his role in this season... I feel like Kris CD would sell at Starbucks, fits right in with that music... I am not an uberfan of Kris, but if I miss the show, I dont find myself fast forwarding through his performance. I dont think he had a terrible week yet, they have all been at least good, not necessarily great. I think the consistency says something...

I think this is a tight race this year and anything can happen. Dialidol has not been able to make a prediction for a couple of weeks now, and that is highly unusual. I think where the Anoop and Lil fans go will also be interesting, because we have twice as many fans shifting their vote as usual, so this could be an interesting swing vote tonight. I still predict Matt is going home, but I think Kris and Matt will benifit from the Anoop fans, which means Allison could be in some trouble, as she definitely will not pick up the Lil fans unless they are hard strung on voting for a woman

lol
when I first glanced through your post, I thought this word was "dildo"...i had to do a double-take!

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.

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.
