American Idol: Top 10

[Cranberry]

It's Motown night!

spoilers below... if you haven't watched and don't want to know, don't read any further.

.


: Matt - "Let's get it on" - Really, really good.

Kris - "How sweet it is" - He was good, too.

Scott - "You can't hurry love" - I think it's time for Scott to go home. That was not good.

Megan - "For once in my life" - Yuck.

Anoop - "Ooh baby baby" - I like him. He is sweet.

Michael - "Ain't too proud to beg" - Sang way too fast, dawg. And, dude, when your woman is leaving you and you're singing about it, don't be all smiles, OK? That was just weird.

Lil - "Heat wave" - not her best, but she's awesome.

: Adam - "Tracks of my tears" - Wow. He's going to win this.

Danny - "Get ready" - It was fun. Liked the dancing with the back-up singers.

: Allison - "Papa was a rolling stone" - Get set for an Adam-Allison finale. She is mad talented.

Who should go home? Michael, Megan or Scott

Paula & Simon, please step away from the crayons.

Wow, I agree with everything you said 100%.

[Avocado]

Adam did amazing!

[queenjane]

Cranberry, you pretty much summed it up! I agree w/ everything you wrote.

Adam is really winning me over....i didnt particularly enjoy his "look" tonight but i appreciate him changing it up a bit (does anyone think he'd make a good Elvis impersonator??)...i was in the "I Hate Adam" camp, but, that boy can sing! It was really good.

I totally get and agree w/ what the judges said about Lil...it was "good"...but she was practically screaming it in parts, and i didnt get the point. I fast fwd through most of Kris, Michael, Scott, and Danny...its all just so boring to me. I thought Anoop was good, but again, agree with the judges, it was almost verging on kinda boring.

I'm kind of a Megan fan...but what the hell was that??!! I think she is in serious trouble, though i hope that sarver or scott go home first.

Its weird for me...because while i think this season probably has better singers than any other season...everyone (well, almost) seems just kind of blah/boring to me. Which is going to force me to root for Adam. I like Allison alot too.

Oh, and Matt....i never really got the whole Matt thing, but i get it now...that was good, and a great decision to ditch the piano for part of the song.

I wish they would just let Paula go now, she is so clearly useless now that we have the other one. (Cara?? yeah thats it.) I always fastfwd through her comments because i know they are just going to be "you look fantastic! Thats your pocket! (huh??) Great dress! I just love you!!!"

yeah, DH can't stand when Paula starts talking!

[Verity]

Thank you, Randy, for calling Megan's performance a "train wreck"! The only thing worse than her singing was her hideous outfit. The only thing missing was a bowl of fruit on her head. Loved the blue eyeliner, though.

Unless something drastic happens, the following people should go home in the next few weeks, in this order:

Scott
Michael
Megan

Loved Matt, Kris and Allison last night. I still love Danny's voice, and his performance last night was solid, but that was all. Lil should have hit Motown out of the park, and didn't, but it was good enough. I loved Adam's look last night, and he has an incredible voice, but I just couldn't listen to him sing for more than a few minutes at a time. Allison is AMAZING and doesn't get enough credit.

[Rsmom]

I really liked Adam's version of the song, and he sang it well. But I just can't get into his voice. I don't like the sound of it.

[eco_mama]

I had to get to sleep so I missed Michael's and on so I'll finish watching tonight but what I did see....

Matt, my hometown hero, rocked again!! He is awesome. Perfect song choice!

Megan, meh. She's starting to bug me. I want to like her. I think she's different and interesting but, she's just not picking the right songs and her performances have sucked.

Scott, After that I think it's his time to go.

Anoop, Good!

Kris, he bugs me but he's doing pretty good.

[eco_mama]

Oh and does anyone think there's something going on between Simon and Paula? Like, romantically?

Adam totally looked like Elvis, loved the shiny suit & slick hair!

As for Paula, I think this is her last season. Her contract is up at the end of this season and I read she's looking forward to "new challenges" (read: rehab). I won't miss her. Cara is OK, but provides a little TOO much criticism, too analytical. She needs to keep it short. The producers clearly brought her in to replace Paula, though.

[mamalisa]

I like Kara soooo much better than Paula, she makes sense. My dh and I were joking last night, "Honey, you look really pretty, but the way you loaded the dishwasher was a total disaster."

I love Danny, but don't think he can win.

I love Adam and Allison and see them in the finale.

Megan, Michael and Scott can go anytime. Megan sounds bizarre when she sings, Michael is good, but not professional and Scott is too Michael McDonald for me.

[MichaelsSahm]

Cranberry I agree with you 100%

I think Michael or Megan should go home tonight!

Megan, she just picks songs that don't fit her as a artist. Except for last week.

My Perdiction are Adam & Allison in the finale.

I was thinking the same thing last night. They are very cozy at times. LOL!

[Eliseatthebeach]

I forgot how much I enjoyed this thread.....


I think I agree with you Cranberry.....as usual good synopsis

I don't agree with some of the other op's, especially about Paula. I think she's awesome, I absolutely love her comments! I think she's insightful and honest and gives these kids the type of criticism that will make them feel good about themselves. On the other hand, I do think that the panel need a judge like Simon who will come out and tell a contestant that they simply cannot win, because lets face it....that's a pretty tough business and I'm sure those comments are part of some artists everyday reality.

That said, I so loved Adams look tonight....he was a hottie! The camera definitley loved this look too.

I am such a Danny fan

Allison is my girl-crush right now....OH MY can she sing!!

There is nothing I like about Megan's voice, am i crazy? Yes, she's beautiful....she beams beauty, everyone can clearly see that! I just don't get her singing.

Anoop is doing really well, I do not think he can win but I think he is great! And I think he has wonderfully sexy eyes!

Matt is also a great singer, again I do not think he can win.

So completely disposable people right now are: Kris, Scott, Megan, and Michael. I think the others will battle it out, but the next few to go after them would be: Matt, Anoop and Lil.

[MichaelsSahm]

See, the music industry already has so many kris's & matt's. It would be nice to see someone different win. Like last yr, I think David Cook was amazing. I am so happy he won. I think its going to be between Allison & Adam. Allison will be big wether she wins or not, that girl is amazing!!

[MichaelsSahm]

I also want to add that I like Paula. So she is a little different. I don't think American Idol would be the same without her. Kind of like if Ryan Seacrest would ever leave. etc.

I noticed this coziness couple of weeks ago already.
I am big Adam fan, he is just unique!
Megan is unique as well, but she just can't sing!
I actually do not want Paula to go, I think 3 original judges were perfect together, every one of them was bringing something different. Kara just bothers me, she behaves like she just wants to fit in badly.

[Monarchgrrl]

I haven't voted all season and last night I voted a bunch for:

Adam
Allison
Megan: Yes, last night wasn't great (maybe a train wreck), but I still want her unusual voice in this competition. She's memorable and unique. And I LOVED her dress last night!

Scott or Michael Sarver needs to go home tonight!
