I guess I'm glad I missed the show this week, lol, and therefore missed out on the (ugh) country music. Funny, though, one of my all time favorite singers is Roy Orbison!!!

I was strangely, oddly, freakishly, disturbingly entertained by Adam this week. ;D I liked the middle eastern flavah he put on the song. Not a country music fan at all....so maybe that's why. I'm also not a big fan of Adam's so I was surprised that I didn't find it to be a mess like most people did. #rofl1# Nancy, I think we're on the same page with Adam...I found his performance fascinating! It was rather bizarre for Ring of Fire, but he had the confidence and voice to deliver it. It reminded me of belly dancing music, which I really like, so oddly enough I thought it was cool and kind of amusing! The ones who stood out to me this week and who I enjoyed the most were Danny (very inspiring and impressive voice - plus I have to cheer for a guy from a nearby city), Kris (he's such a cutie and I thought he sounded terrific), and Anoop (he sounded great). Matt also did really well. Adam has to make the list for being outrageous yet really good! Country music isn't my thing either, but they did a pretty good job of tweaking the songs.

Bye bye Megan...I'm not going to miss her, she just wasn't my cuppa. My favs are Alison, Adam, and Chris (the one who sang last on Tuesday). But I wasn't as thrilled with Adam's Play That Funky Music as most people, it just didn't think it was the right style for that song and I don't think it was as good as the time MiG did it when he did it all funky and bluesy.

I also don't like Megan. I don't know how to describe her singing but I could hear a "yodle" somewhere....

I agree, Megan was my pick to go. I did like her when she auditioned and I think her voice warbles a little more in the recent shows I am guessing due to nerves. I like your top three too Toni and Matt would be my 4th choice(change him with Alison-they are really tied for third in my book) Loved David Cook last night. Album has gone platinum and he is still humble. Love that guy!!

Has Simon ever given anyone a standing 'o' before?
Best by a mile tonight:
Adam Matt Danny
I'm a massive TFF fan, but I don't think that's why I loved Mad World tonight. That arrangement and the vocals were brilliant.

I liked Adam, Chris, Alison, and Lil. I didn't care for the song Danny picked, lol. I feel like Simon has already picked Adam to win, but I think Alison is amazing, too. They are doing her like MiG was done, picking stupid things to criticize...like this week they are saying she doesn't talk enough and show enough off stage personality??? Hello, she is only 16 and prolly a bit shy with adults. I think she shows a lot of maturity for her age.

That arrangement and the vocals were brilliant. They are a great band. It was great to hear such a different and unique version of Mad World - and so interesting that Adam goes outside of the box to pick not a well-known song - well to me it is Matt was awesome as well. He is probably my fav but I love Adam too. I love it when he strips the songs down and doesn't do the screeching - that isn't my sort of thing.

I loved Adam's performance tonight. it was so unusual and almost made me cry. I love kris but his just wasn't on the level of some of the others tonight. Allison is so much prettier with her natral dark hair. She is such a great singer but she is a little boring to watch, seems like a great kid though. She doesn't sound 16 when she sings. I thought Lil was better than her criticism, Anoop just ok and I did enjoy Matt a lot and Danny too. Scott could be at the bottom three tomorrow.

I thought Danny, Adam and Matt were excellent tonight, Allison very good, and I liked Kris's performance even if the judges didn't. It seemed like the first time Matt really projected and connected with the audience, which made him stand out more. Kris probably is wondering what they want - last week they raved because he changed up the song a lot, and this week they complained because he changed up the song a lot. IMO that song isn't untouchable, so I liked his arrangement. They certainly brought out all the stops for Adam with the lighting.

Can't stop watching the vid of Adam's performance last night. So amazing. But, I've seen rumblings online today that many viewers never got to see it because the show was supposed to be an hour and their TIVO didn't catch it because it was on after the hour had elapsed. I've also heard rumblings that they will re-air his performance on tonight's show because of that. I sure hope he's not in the B3 because of this. He was at the top of Dial Idol, so hopefully he's safe because after that performance, he definitely deserves to be there another week.

I agree Nancy. Wow!! That song was in my head all through work today and when I watched the youtube today I got tears in my eyes again because it was so amazing a performance. It so reminded me of when I saw MiG sing Baby I Love Your Way on Rockstar and I was so blown away by that that I had tears in my eyes then to because that was so beautiful. I hope they let him do it again and let all the judges give him his full due. Watch it quick before it disappears from youtube

Goosebumps every time I watch that video.
One of the best performances in Idol history if you ask me. It ranks up there in the Top 5 for me, personally.

He comes across and humble and appreciative with the praise. I agree about the goosebumps

Aha, now I see where Adam got his idea for this version of Mad World. He is very "song smart"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4It will be wierd if he doesn't win, because he seems like a shoe-in. OH, and the vid has already been pulled from youtube, lol. That was pretty quick!
