Adam is amazing! He better be the top male. I hope he makes it to the end! He’s so unique – he already seems like a star.

And personally it’s not about singing this year as Ricky should have made it last week over Michael and Danny. Sorry not a Danny fan, don’t appreciate how he’s using his wife for votes.

6. Jeanine Vailes (What if Jeanine nails a version of Listen by Beyonce I still doubt it will help her since she has had no screen time.)
5. Jesse Langseth
4. Mishavonna Henson
3. Allison Iraheta
2. Megan Corkrey
1. Jasmine Murray

6. Kai Kalama
5. Matt Breitzke
4. Nick Mitchell
3. Kris Allen
2. Matt Giraud
1. Adam Lambert

Sorry totally disagree about Kris, all the young girls will vote for him and he has a really good voice so he is definately should be ranked higher than Kai and Matt. I mean I doubt the same folks who voted for Michael will vote for Matt but who knows, and I don’t think Kai will have a strong enough fan base. Nick Mitchell is the tricky one though! He might be third.

Hey idolwiki, thanks for posting that link to Adam’s song on youtube. Holy cow, that was incredible, I got goose bumps. I was already sold on him after the videos of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and “Crawl Thru Fire”, and that one you just linked sealed the deal!

I think Megan Corkrey could get the middle America vote, how Michael Sarver got through. If she plays her cards right with the right song. That, and I remember Jasmine Murray being good, but not blow away great. She’s not quite a fan favorite like Gokey, so she’s susceptible to Megan.

Kris Allen has little to no chance of getting through because he, like Ricky Braddy, got ~0 camera time. You’d have to give a HUGE first impression in his situation to get into the top 3; Ricky sung amazingly, was probably the best of the night, and even he didn’t make it. Fortunately, Kris and Ricky will most definitely be Wild Cards.

I like Adam. He’s hot, has star quality and can sing. I mean, he can really sing. Hope you’re right that he goes through. *crossing fingers, knocking wood*

I disagree with everyone about Megan Corkrey. Where are you all even getting this? She’s had very little face time and she just reminds me of another Casey Carlson – a pretty girl who will crack under pressure. Also, Kai is not that great of a singer – his last performance in Hollywood was bad. Can’t see him knocking one out of the park this week.

Really, to make it through, you’ve got to knock it way out of the park. After all of last week’s surprisingly horrible song choices and poor performances, I can’t predict anything – I mean, what if Jasmine comes out singing Whitney?! Except I do agree that Adam is, indeed, TCO and will make it through this round.

I think you are pretty much right on with your assessment, JP, especially the TCO…

I have loved Adam Lambert since he first opened his mouth to sing, his confidence and maturity are just as appealing as his wonderful voice. However, I thought his marketability to middle America was dubious and he was more about theatre than recording artist as well.

Aside from the audition, Simon has shown a liking for Adam–thumbs up after “Believe” etc, and stated Adam had the makings of a good recording artist–Helloo!! TCO?! –Simon is all about a marketable recording artist.

I know how over the top Adam is (and I so love you for it, Adam!) and thought Simon might be a little delusional about…recording artist…until I heard this song—I’d trample the masses to buy this recording–in a shot!!

What are you thinking? Kris is more marketable and current than others. This is based on no air time ….. That is so unfair. You would think a forum like this would appreciate talent like this. No other forum is putting Kris last.

I think kris will surprise everyone! I also think based on a lot of the forums and stuff, that even though I don’t think he’ll be in the top 3, I think he’s got a great shot at making the 4th highest vote and being a WC. Just my thoughts though. Arkansans are very loyal when it comes to people from here.

I agree with you, Joes, except when it comes to Kris Allen. I want him to be ranked higher, but I doubt it will be enough to crack the Top 12. :/

But Matt Giraud is who is getting ALL my votes Wednesday. I can’t wait to hear this guy perform…he is the relevant recording artist AI needs to get back it’s credibility.

I didn’t hear of Jesse Langseth’s DUI, so I doubt many did either. I don’t think she’d make the top 3 anyway.

Megan Corkrey will get the most female votes. She’s unique, likable, and has gotten a fair amount of face time already.

Norman Gentle’s toast. There’s no top 3 cranny for him to sneak into, this group’s too good to allow for a bum slot.

I think the top 3 will be 2 guys + 1 girl again. I’d say Adam Lambert (1st male), Megan Corkrey (1st female), and Matt Giraud (3rd).

It’s hard to say who will be Wild Card contenders, almost all of them are viable. If I had to guess, Kai Kalama, Kris Allen, Jasmine Murray, Allison Iraheta. And, depending whether the judges tire of him or not, Norman Gentle. I think the majority of Wild Card contenders will be from this group.

You can’t dismiss Jeanine Vailles either just cause she got 0 face time, she could pull a Ricky Braddy and be amazing, but who knows.

You know, I still don’t think Adam is TCO. As you just said, he is too much “out there” and middle America won’t like that in the end.

I admire Adam for not being afraid is not afraid to show who he really is ( we all know he is gay, heh) but would the show producers want a gay idol?
We will see. I think he is talented, but I still think he is meant to be on a theater stage. He is not a recording artist at all.

Matt G could be the underdog this season. I think the producers like him somewhat, but I am not sure they want him to win. (Leave that to Danny). But Matt is definitely Top 3 material.
MAtt is obviously not TCO because if that was the case they would have let him play the piano during semis.What a shame. I hope Matt can crack the Top 12.
He clearly is one of the most talented guys musically and artistry. I can really see him as a relevant recording artist.
I have a feeling he can still shine without the piano.
