I never liked "The Search is Over" - I always thought it was too over the top. Scott tends to hold his notes a little too long. He has a nice voice, but I may be biased in my opinion because of the song.

Allison - she has ALWAYS reminded me of Kelly Clarkson. EXCELLENT interpretation of the song!

Holy crap Batman - SIMON gave Adam a standing "O"! :eek: I never heard that song before but it gave me chills or Adam gave me chills singing it, I'm not sure. UNBELIEVABLE!!

I liked Matt's jivey take on "Part Time Lover". That was good.

They never ran over before when there were only 3 judges. They're still trying to pack in everything like they used to in the other seasons like the interviews of the contestants, etc., but they don't have the time.

Allison and Adam Ruled the night while there rest are vulnerable IMO..I think Kris and Lil and Scott will be bottom rung..

Danny-meh I really didn't like but he ended up one of the top 5 tonight imo(not that it was difficult to do that)
Kris-meh-did not like
Lil-is in trouble-may be going home-if she doesn't she needs to jump over the side of the box and land way outside it!!
Anoop-meh
Scott-meh
Allison-still prnt and one of the finalists imo
Matt-damn good tonight
Adam-I repeat last weeks comments. He may be unbeatable unless some dark skeletons show up.

top 5 as of tonight-Adam, Allison, Matt, Danny tossup between Kris and Anoop
bottom 3- Lil, Scott,Anoop

I think Adam may be unbeatable too. His voice is amazing. I just love Allison's voice too. Quite a contrast in those two voices.

I still like Danny.
Kris, Scott and Matt in the bottom? Just going by how I think America will vote. I don't think Lil should stay but I think she has a following. I think Anoop does too.

Same here! I was at the ballpark when AI came on and watched it late last night. I completely missed Adam's performance. :grr:


They used to squeeze the Top 10 into one hour. Now they can't even fit the Top 8 in an hour. 4 judges is too many, IMO.

It really is ridiculous. It had only been scheduled for 61 minutes. To run 7 minutes longer is just unacceptable.

Bottom three on DialIdol:

Scott
Anoop
Kris

If Kris is the one going the judges will save him IMO. The other two, not a chance.

I did get to see it on YouTube, but the video has since been removed. It had been up for over 5 hours when I saw it, so I guess people put them up for as long as they can until they get yanked.

hey defacto... bite me!

There are still videos of that performance popping up on youtube - the members are resilient.

I can understand copyrites but it's not like they are going to bundle the performances and sell them later. This is free advertising for them. Wouldn't you want people to watch a performance and then decide to tune in later? There's plenty of performances from AI, So You Think You Can Dance, etc. that I would love to see over and over again and I'm sure that these shows could make a pretty penny selling them.

Actually you can purchase a video of the individual performances on iTunes. . . . I would have mentioned it but I didn't think you wanted to pay for it. ..
