American Idol

[Sookie]

I thought Allison was very good last night but I especially loved Danny. I try to listen to them and think "Would I want to buy that CD?" and with most of them the answer is no, I wouldn't. I really do enjoy Adam. He is extremely talented. Those are my top favs.

Dear Meghan, please stop singing. I find it painful to listen to you. I sound better than that when I'm washing dishes or in the shower.

I think people must be voting for her because she's beautiful. But, as Simon says, this is a singing competition...and she can't sing well.

Except I think he is adorable when he wears his hair down. He's a hottie.

Anoop - He has a really nice voice but it sounded too much karaoke. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bottom 3 tonight.

Lil - Just wasn't too crazy about the song she picked, it's just not for her. I'm having a very difficult time trying to figure who she would be as an artist.

Matt - I really liked the song he picked, but it was little too karaoke. I know he likes to sing songs like this, but what he needs to do is pick another song that's more mellow and then spice it up, make it his own. It's likely that he would be on the bottom 3. Matt is just too much of an amateur.

Allison - She has an amazing voice, but the outfit she wore last night and that hair piece really distracted me from her performance. The whole time I was thinking, what the heck is she wearing.

Megan - I think she did terrible. Once again she picked the wrong song and it just didn't go with her voice. I hope she's on the bottom 3.

Scott - I was never a big fan of his, but I have to say he did really well last night. And of course, love the new hairdo.

Kris - I think he did really well last night and may be one of the final 3.

Danny - I think he did really well and will probably be one of the final 3.

As far as my pick for the final 3 it would be - Adam, Allison, _______ (either Danny or Kris)

I agree with most everything you've said here and I to would like to see Adam do something without the high pitched ending. I'm also glad he's toned down his appearance.

I haven't quite figured Megan out yet but I felt sorry for her last night when she had the tears in her eyes.

Was happy to see your post. I thought I was the only one that find it difficult to listen to Megan and I hate her little "swishy" moves. Yes, she is beautiful girl, but that's where it stops. JMO
Adam if fantastic! His individual style and appearance might take some out of their comfort zone, but he is unbelievable talented with an incredible range. I too like Danny, Kris and Allison.

I always love your critiques and think you are always right on target, however this time I had to disagree about Adam, I know many people don't like what may seem to a scream or wail, in his songs, but this is the thing that I find so incredible, he has such control over his vocals when he's yelling like that, and to me, it a very exciting to hear this "scream;" it's one of the things that makes his voice so identifiable. I'm not kidding after he does this, I'm just in awe, and this is one of the things I love about his voice. He got my attention with his unusual looks, but he will keep my attention with his incredible voice. His songs aren't just pretty and pleasant to hear, they are exciting!

I'm not sure someone my age should be commenting on teen fashions, but this look doesn't seem old enough to me to seem fresh. It really reminds me of early Madonna and Cindy Lauper looks. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

Yes, Cindy Lauper for sure!

I agree on everything about Adam

I'm 57 and I love Adam. His vocals amaze me and I'm entertained every time he steps on stage. Danny was my second but he's getting a little to full of himself. Last night was the first time I liked Kris. I'm afraid Megan will be safe this week because she is stil the pick on the Vote for the Worst web site.

It's not that I don't like his screaming, I actually do like it, but I just don't think he needs to do it with every song. I guess that's what makes him so unique compared to the other contestants.

I agree with you and Nancy both. I think his range is awesome and he has a natural talent. You can't learn that from a vocal teacher. However, I would like to hear him do something that ends on a soft note at least once. I'm well into my 60s and as I've said before, he's fantastic.

That's hysterical because that is exactly what my husband said. Too funny
