American Idol

[dogbert]

I think there is a degree of manipulation by the judges. Between their flirting and comments they may sway a few votes by the end of the night.

Adam has alot of confidence because he had experience coming into the competition (I thought) and he's hardly had a negative word said to or about him. I think Danny and Kris had to be in agreement on the duet if not they hid it well. As for Danny being a camera hog I would hope the contestants have no control of that. It's bad enough to think the judges might have anything to do with it. I think that should be left up to the people in the control room. However someone said Danny had most the singing in the duet, then I guess the camera would follow the singer so he also got more camera time.

The judges make me crazy sometimes, I almost would rather not have them. They are not always constructive or unbiased. I saw a magazine cover at the store saying Simon wanted out of AI. So if Paula goes, Kara doesn't stay (I hope she doesn't) and Simon leaves, Randy could be the only original judge left.

Ok, I got that off my chest. Seriously, it IS a singing competition and he's the only one there that can REALLY REALLY sing. Kris is adorable, but I don't like his voice. I wouldn't buy his CD. I hope he is the one to go home tonight (my apologies to those of you who like him )

I think Allison was pretty good, but not nearly as good as Adam. Danny is ok, but nothing thrilling IMHO.

I will CRY if Adam goes home tonight. I LOVE HIM!!! And he seems like a very, very nice guy doesn't he?

Don't worry Adam IS NOT going home, it's the other three that better start hoping their fans showed up last night.

Barbara, when I saw Adam stick his tongue out after the song was over last night, I thought to myself "Wait til Nancy and others see this one"

Yo Yo YO. If Simon goes I go Dawg!

So will I Lou, and his contract is up with this season. I saw this on Entertainment Tonight several weeks ago and it's due to his traveling back and forth to England every week. They're doing Britain's Got Talent now and that might be why he looks bored all the time. He has to be exhausted. I think Kara and Randy are there to stay but I really don't care if she does leave. At first I liked her but not so much now.

I think he was responding to one of those fangirls standing by the stage probably doing the same. It's sort of a rocker kind of thing to do.

What got me laughing to tears was the last part of Danny's performance and also on the playback/vote clips at the end of the night. They had played the screaming part for Danny's clip. ROFL. This was one hilarious moment in all of the seasons I've watched on AI. I haven't watched them all, but I've watched enough. LOL. No matter how many times I play back the performance, I can't help but burst out in laughter. It really does crack me up.

I couldn't believe they used that clip from his song, I was stunned, I thought they usually try to pick a good part of the song. For those of you who missed it, I found it on U-tube. Here's Danny singing Scream On, oh I mean Dream On. He doesn't seem to have quite the control of his "screams" as Adam.

I might as well chime in here too. I can't believe they chose to use that portion for the recap either (the scream) ugh! I, myself, think Adam is in a class all by himself. I hope Alison goes because there is just something about her I dislike--to quote Simon "Sorry" lol I have said all along that it will come down to Danny and Adam. After last night......ugh-not so sure Danny is getting past tonight. He might though. I think Chris will be the one who goes. I would hate to see Alison ride in for a save on Adam's shirt tail. I am not a "die hard" Adam fan but I do think he is the most talented of all of them. My predictions are: Chris, then Alison, then Danny and the winner is Adam.

Danny started out as a fav of mine--I think because of his story but he got boring after a while for me. I never was a fan of Al or C.

I'm done.

OMG, Nancy, I don't know why you had to do that to me! ROFL. I wasn't expecting it to play RIGHT at that SPOT since the still image for that youtube clip had nothing to do with the performance, I really didn't expect to burst out laughing AGAIN once I clicked on that!

I wonder when or if this will ever get old for me. Maybe then, my facial muscles won't be so sore. I haven't laughed so much in ages.

Of all the great moments Danny has had in this competition it's just mean to use that clip. That too could sway some votes. They haven't used any bad moments from other contestants for their clips so far that I know of.

You are so right! Even Lil sounded good on the clips they used!
Whats up with that?

More politics? It seems so unfair and I'd be unhappy if I were Danny. But he's better off not saying anything.

You really can come up with them 'Scream On'

[Miao]

I really doubt Danny would be the one to go tonight. He still has his loyal following who knows how to hit redial and who probably has unlimited texting on their cellular.

But I think it'd do every contestant some good to at least be a part of the Bottom Few one time in the duration of the show. I hope that would keep their egos from blowing up out of control and tone down their cockiness and teach them a little something about being humble. That's just my opinion, and I'm sure I'm the only one who shares it here. LOL

[dogbert]

I agree everyone being in the bottom three at least once would cool some jets.

[Lou]

All I know is that next week I am voting for Danny 56 times.
