Mixed results.

Not surprised that Michael left and am glad that he will be in the Top 10 Tour group. He'll have a good following and it will help his family. Was surprised somewhat that Matt was in the bottom 2. He is not very appealing in a warm and fuzzy way. The talent is there but I still go back to his comments about wanting to be a Hip-Hoppy stylist. We still have a couple disposables to go before it gets really tough.

Fine, Mom. I'll post.

Okay, last night's shows was good. My favorite of the night was Allison. She's fantastic. I also really liked Matt and Kris. And I know Adam was good but I just can't stand him so I won't put him in the top. Everything he does is so contrived. Ugh. I think the roughneck, blindy or Megan will/should go home tonight. I voted for Allison.

Throwing out my scoring system.....

I started out by really liking Matt tonight and gave him a 10 out of a possible 10. It turns out that there were some that I thought did a better job so I ended up giving a 10+ to Allison, Anoop, and Danny. Adam is still so unique and he just blew me away with a 10+++. I dubbed Megan the Sarah Palin of Idol performers and I hope she's the one going this week. Scott and Mike are also on my short list of won't be missed. Kris and L'il just squeeked by with OK performances.

Such a great show tonight and it seemed to fly by in 30 minutes.

Adam Lambert can stick it!!!

I don't have much time. Let me just tell you though that I hate country night and I am glad that got it over with already. And Adam Lambert has gotten on my last nerve. He tries to hard to be "unique." And I agree with Simon that his ridiculously creepy rendition of "ring of fire" was indulgent. I believe that he is trying to David Cook it up to show what kind of artist he would be so he'll get noticed. However, I think it's all fabricated. I think he sings in musicals. That's what he does. And if would have just tried to come out and sing songs well, then I'd probably be on his side. What he did last was just ughhh, I want to forget it. I thought Danny was good last night. I liked Lil Rounds. My top choice last night was (and, yes, I did vote for him)...Matt Giraud. I like him.

That is all... Michelle

Randy is so dandy.....

I was greatly surprised at the show tonight. There were so many good performances that I had to be really picky on their songs. My favorite was Allison but since she was one of the first performers, I question if she really was the best. I gave the top votes to Allison, Adam and Danny once again. Anoop and Chris were also so much better this week. Low on the list was Scott and I just don't care for Matt.

So.....I hope I get some company here on the board. It's lonely.

Two down....

No real surprise tonight. I'm not liking the "Judges' Save" idea. Either make it the vote or each week have some percentage of the decision up to the judges. I suppose it will be used to save Danny or Adam at some point.....we'll have to see.

Nightie night!

Still pretend voting....

I wasn't moved to the phone to vote, but something I ate sure had me moving from in front of the TV last night. Almost thought it was time for the ER but all is OK this morning.

Starting out with a Jackson song was a bit tough for some of the performers and I almost wish they could sing two weeks before cutting down the group. I kinda go by who would be marketable even though some may not have their skills developed yet. If they're cute but can't sing they may last a while, but that's the unfair part about the voting process.

Two of this group can go without me missing them: Chris, Scott, Mike, Jasmine, or Jorge.

My top picks were all A's this week: Allison, Adam and Alexis. The runner ups were: Lil, Danny, Anoop, Matt and Megan.

I actually voted tonight.

Danny Gokey. Danny Gokey. He killed that song. And you can say what you want about his sob story and about whatever but he killllled that song. He was hands down the best of the night and I don't care what the judges say about Adam Lambert. What I have to say about Adam Lambert is that he is very talented and I hope he goes for but, personally, I can't stand his 80s rock falsetto-y, musical-y voice. And his hair. I can't stand his hair. I had to live through David Cook's hair last season. Why again with Adam's hair? Anyhow, overall this was a pretty great show. One of the best opening shows I can remember. There were other great performances. I really liked Matt Giraud. I liked the husky-voiced Salvadorean. I like Lil Rounds. Blindy was good enough. I don't really know what's going to happen but I do know that with this amount of talented people....some good folks are going to get voted off. Oh, well. Just keep Gokey.

xxoo

Crappola

E'nuff said.

His sense of dance is very refined.

I like how Mom spells it L'il. How adorable. Anyhow, I agree with her. I go for Lil, Blindy and Junot. That is all.

Group Three

What a group! My ratings numbers were all over the place with this one. The three I'd like to see make it through on votes are Jorge, Ju'Not and L'il. Down the list are Felisha, Kendall, and Von with 9s, Kristen, Scott and Taylor with 8s, Arianna 7, and quirky but not good enough are Alex and Nate with 6s.

I can only imagine what it will be like in the room where the judges battle over their wild card picks. Did anyone catch when they will be announced or will that be dragged out over another show?
