I really feel bad for Michael. America is rooting for him because he is trying to achieve the classic "American Dream". I want him to be successful, I just don't think American Idol is gonna be the way to do that.
I am excited for Lil, but I especially can't wait for Adam (obviously...). Is he in the pimp spot this week? I missed the first five minutes.

Where is Adam? DId I miss something?
Anyways, I really like him :) Although, I'm not a huge fan of his look tonight
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1127
Posted: 3/25/09 at 9:34pmAdam has shown his versatility. Bravo. Just beautiful.

Looks like I'm downloading another Adam song. That was great.
And he looks HOT!!!!!!!!!!!
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1130
Posted: 3/25/09 at 9:40pmAdam was awesome - Tracks of My Tears performed beautifully. He looked alot like a young Kurt Russell to me tonight.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1131
Posted: 3/25/09 at 9:41pmI am still in love with what he just did... Wow... thats all I can say and I cannot wait for this to be released on Itunes! This will sure be the talk amongst the old ladies at handbells tomorrow!

HellsBells, THAT'S IT!! He looks like Kurt Russell. It's been driving me mad who he reminds me of.
Danny should sing a slow song next week. I need a break from his dancing.

Posted: 3/25/09 at 9:48pmlol Cheno fan, I had said the same thing about Anoop's brows needing waxing on another site tonight.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1134
Posted: 3/25/09 at 9:54pmnow THAT is how you end the show... Congrats Allison and Adam!!!!!! LOVED them both :)

Kris was my favorite tonight.
I thought Danny was screaming again. He just has one dynamic.
It's Megan's week to go. It has to be.

Posted: 3/25/09 at 10:18pmI'm busy voting for Matt, Kris, Adam and Allison - they were all fantastic.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1137
Posted: 3/25/09 at 10:25pmi am voting for Kris. Adam reminds me of one of those character singers in vegas, hes always in a character. I just don't like him at all.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1138
Posted: 3/25/09 at 10:34pmAdam and Allison are starting to separate themselves from the rest. They are just vocally superior to the others.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1139
Posted: 3/25/09 at 10:39pmAdam and Allison were both fantastic, but I have to say that Kris is growing on me -- I like him more and more each week. Danny sounded out of breath, and I wanted them to call him out for not listening to Smokey!

Adam. freaking. Lambert.
Could you BE any more incredible??? Like honestly, that was SO DAMN FANTASTIC.
Dare I say, it beat Cook's Billie Jean. And this coming from a die hard Cook fan. I can't even.. my mom and I were just sitting there in complete awe. The performance will go down in Idol history as one of the greats, without a doubt.
And also, Elvis lookalike much!? daaang is that man beautiful!
Other stand outs of the night:
Allison- SO SO fierce. Nearly up there with Adam!
Kris- He's so adorable, he sounded awesome, and he's such a young James Taylor! Flove him to death
Matt- White boy's got soul! hehe

Methinks you're a little clouded by your unbridled devotion to him...
Adam was definitely one of the best of the night, but I would have liked it even more if he has just sung it straight. There's no need to show off in an arrangement as stripped down as that. He looks a lot better unvarnished as well and while, yes, he's unfailingly polite, his over-intent listening to Smokey came off as a performance.
Lil Rounds was suprisingly bad tonight--very screamy.
Allison killed.
Michael or Megan for the exit.....

his over-intent listening to Smokey came off as a performance
Oh see I thought that seemed EXTREMELY genuine actually :) In general, I always find him to seem really really genuine. As a performer, sure, he's tended to like to go for the big showy vocals up until tonight, but as a person I have never gotten the fake vibe from him. I think he was just truly in awe of being there singing for Smokey Robinson, and was trying to soak up absolutely everything he could from it. I was sitting there going "wow, I very rarely see anyone be so genuinely immersed in what another person is saying! That's so sweet".
Obviously it's all up to perception I guess- nothing wrong if you perceived it as being a bit fake. I just didn't see that at all, and thought it made him seem even more lovely as a person :)
As for the performance, I've listened to and watched it quite a few times over now, and it still hasn't lost it's power for me. Haha. I thought everything about it was spot on and gorgeous. It was soft, it was beautiful, and it was a side of him that we the fans knew he had, but that the average viewer probably didn't know he had. So I think it went a long way in proving to people that he's way more than just a screamer. And it's really not just that he toned it down- it's that he toned it down in order to connect with the song, and so it worked. When you tone it down just for the sake of toning it down, it can sometimes come off as safe or boring. But I felt that what made it work was that, to me at last, it was clear that he REALLY got the lyrics, and fully invested himself in the song, so that it wasn't boring but rather incredibly captivating.
Again though, all a matter of opinion and interpretation :) But for me personally, it's definitely not a clouded opinion. I thought, and still do think, it was brilliant.
Totally agree about Lil, Michael, and Megan for the record. They were terrible.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1143
Posted: 3/26/09 at 12:08amAdam was the best I've ever seen him, but the night belonged to Allison.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1144
Posted: 3/26/09 at 12:12amDial idol currently has Meghan, Scott and Sarver as the bottom three (with sarver at the bottom).

Just to add to what everyone else is saying...
Adam was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I know I'm a fan, so I'm a bit biased, but that was UNBELIEVABLE. He looked so handsome, too! I would have to agree that his performance will go down in Idol history. Just beautiful.
Good for Allison! I am really rooting for her. She deserves to make it far in this competition.
My prediction-
Megan, Michael, and Scott as the bottom 3 with Megan going home.

I don't split votes, so all of my votes went to Adam, but I really like Allison as well.
Kris is a cutie.
Danny Jokey is annoying as sh*t. However, I'm with Hells on the Scott thing. I just can't look at him anymore. But I think Megan (as gorgeous as she is) is even worse and hope that she is the one to go.

THANK YOU! And he needs to stop dancing around, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1148
Posted: 3/26/09 at 8:03am
HellsBells, Adam did look REMARKABLY like a young Kurt Russell! I'd love to see an Adam/Allison finale.
Even though Megan was horrible, I hope Scott goes home. I just can't take another week of him...
re: AMERICAN IDOL#1149
Posted: 3/26/09 at 8:07amI'd be okay with Scott or Megan leaving, but Megan was truly awful last night. Her performance was like a mix of being pitchy and not having enough support to sing the notes. It was bizarre!
