Whether you like his voice or not Adam is a performer.

He reminds me so much of "Sebastian Bach" from "Skid Row" in terms of his pipes and his ability to scream and still sound good.

when I speak of Adams humility or lack of it, I think of this guy who won Britains got talent a couple of years ago who just emotes humility. I am as fond of opera as I am of Adams style of music (which means I am not fond of either) but I can't watch this video without getting a little emotional. I love this guys humility. He eventually won the competition that year.

Thank you Adam for entertaining me, while the rest went ballad happy. That was insanity.

Allison finally got pimped by the judges... on a night she didnt deserve it. Go figure. Easily Allison's worst performance. Shes in trouble.

LIL is lost. Go home.

B3
Kris, Matt, Alli???

Should go home: LIL
Will go home Alli but judges save her???

I don't see the judges saving Lil because Simon will be the one to say no.

She's changed her hair some much from week to week it's possible but more likely it's extensions.

it's like wearing a toupee, everyone knows it's fake, why do some women do that?

the wife swears Lil wears a different wig every week. I told her last night it looked like it was hers and she said again it was a wig. I'm just a guy. I would not know unless I pulled it.

Adam has the competition in the bag but he is clearly more "performer" than recording artist.

Allison will have the best career by far imho.

Take away all the gimmicks and she has the most raw talent. Gravelly, but big-voiced female singers tend to be extremely marketable. And at 16 she knows who she is.


Adam has 10 years of acting and clawing in the music biz behind him and it shows. He is hungry and well-versed. I love watching him on the show but I wouldn't buy an album from him---unless it is totally different than his high-pitched performances.

I like Matt as well but the judges want him to be an rnb star which doesn't seem to generate much fan votes for him and hasn't sold well in the marketplace recently, especially outside the us.

I turn the channel or mute it when Adam is on.

I think Danny and Allison are the two that can make it.

I thought the point of the save was to keep the person the judges felt had a chance at winning. Simon just said he didnt feel Matt could win this thing and ends up saving him? WTphuck.

Looks like Matt will be a double loser next week and hope he takes Lil with him.

So Matt was the lowest vote getter but they saved him?

I think they were pretty much obligated to use the Save. They can only use it once and it has to be before the final 5. That means this week or next week. They pretty much figure Matt & Lil are the next 2 to go and they both can go next week.

Conversation with my 7 yr old grandson I picked up after school today.

Me-"Blane, did you watch American Idol last night?"

Blane- "Yes, and I voted."

Me-"Great, who did you like and who did you vote for?"

Blane "the Golf Guy."

Me "The Golf Guy? Who is the Golf Guy?"

Blane-" The guy that sang Born to be Wild!"

Me-"Why do you call him the Golf guy?

Blane-"Because he likes to wear makeup and dress up in black. People that dress like that like Golf"

all the kids left are great but I don't think they can hold a candle to Britains top gal in their competition this year. Over 13 million hits on youtube in less than a week and i have probably done about 25 of them. I love the underdog and may send some text votes to Britain for this lady.

having a problem with embedding youtube again. Here is the link
