:pouty: I must be one of the few who did NOT like Adams Ring of Fire. I was ill listening to it. I continue to like his take on Black and White and Satisfaction, but absolutely hated the ring of fire.

Poor Alexis, I figured she blew it when she was actually dressed on the show instead of looking like a slut. Last night she looked more like little orphan annie and I felt so sorry for her.

Im glad those who are in on the tour are, but I wish she had gone thru. Basing her “save” on her singing the same song that she was eliminated on was unfair. Should have shown clips of previous songs she did well. Who could sing under such pressure?

Oh well such is life eh?
I love this site by the way, maybe my favorite next to the american idol page

I love country music but it was a bit of a boring night, Megan had that interesting style with the country that I liked and Danny was amazing, really never got the whole Matt over Danny but to each his own. All in all last week was much better, let’s see how the results go.

Very WEIRD night.

Megan had good moments and horrendous moments — I’ll give her a pass though because she actually looked like she was about ready to pass out (the flu is nasty). That said, I don’t think she would have been much better even if she was well.

Adam Lambert (aka Goth Elvis) — weird…but I sort of liked it. Basically it was like Johnny Cash by Queensryche….

This performance made me think of an old “classic”…

Adam is the one I want to see win – in terms of raw vocal skills, I can’t think of too many people that could match him, and he has great stage presence. And he isn’t interested in how he’s going to “fit into today’s music industry” (something that Kara in particular obsesses about) – he’s going to make today’s music industry fit in with him. Almost all of the great artists take this approach.

But – he needs to be careful about oversinging — with his gifts, he can perform at 70% capacity and still show more range, volume, and smoothness than anyone else. And too much rebelliousness can burn the bridges he needs to succeed — it would’ve been better to have created a uniquely Adam form of country in the way that Willie Nelson created a uniquely Willie form of country, but where it was still country. Instead, I got the impression that Adam was saying “#$%&* this!!” to the many country fans in AI’s audience.

I totally agree Random.

I just listened to Adam’s performance three times in a row and just like last night, I loved it. I absolutely LOVE his style and IMO he has great vocal control. My other favourite of the night was Megan. She was a little wonky on the high notes but I still enjoyed her performance.

[quote comment="54794"][quote comment="54727"][quote comment="54723"][quote comment="54719"]Unable to vote for Matt tonite, 2 hrs. of busy signals. Was able to get thru for the several others we like. So I guess thats good for Matt. That boy just bears his soul when he sings. I sure hope he makes the top five at the very least. I cant help but think of Ricky Braddy when I hear Michael Sarver sing and wonder what we are missing, oh well. I think Michael will get sent home.[/quote]
I completely agree with you Lee. Ricky Brady was the better vocalist. However, TPTB may have felt that Ricky sounded too much like Danny and they didn’t want that mix this season.[/quote]
That is very possible and unfortunate for Ricky because he will be to old to try out next year.[/quote]
Hey, they can add a fifth judge and move the age limit… :w00t:[/quote]
Random please, not so loud they may hear you and try it. :ninja:

Basically a disappointing night. With a few exceptions I am starting to believe that this group may be the “most talented” they have ever had but where are the stars? They are (for the most part) singers who could get a top 100 hit but not a top 25. Last year at this point, there were raging debates involving, David, David, Michael, Carly, Kristy, Brooke, Jason…this year? Adam and Danny. Everyone has supporters but there are many less fervent supporters. With one (maybe two exceptions) I could see any of these folks releasing an album that “sells” (downloads etc) 200,000, having highly successful cabaret/Vegas lounge type careers.
Part of this could be the format this year. We had heard a lot more singing from the top 11 at this point in prior years but…ah well, just my thoughts of the morning
