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.

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]

^^^ 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...

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.
