Yes, I quite see that. Can't get into any of the three. Too much n love with alt rock/metal/screamo. Which explains my Adam love. I'm not in the US either, so vote Adam! For me!

There are a couple (Allison and Matt) who may be more in danger, due to previous performances and percieved lack of viewer support. However anyone of them could go home this week, Adam could quite easily if viewers get complacent (that said i hope he doesn't as it wouldn't be quite as exicting for me), if Kris doesn't pick a decent song then he's in trouble too. And well the less i say about Danny the better (i have given up listening to him at this point) but america seems to love him so far. We shall see what happens after the performances tonight, as that will probably give a much better indication of who's going to be eliminated on Wednesday And please vote for Adam for me!!!

But my cup runneth over with a funky, theatrical, new wave glam, with blow the doors and roof off gravity defying vocals...and the music gods smiled and were pleased. Vote early vote often vote for those who can't. Opinions vary and your cup of tea is just that.

DONT MEAN TO JINX HIM! HOPE I'M WRONG. VOTE PEOPLE! wht if adam is the surprise elimination?

The other four are much more interesting to think about as artists. I'm pretty sure that Adam is going to win the whole thing since he's really great but I'd like to keep the show interesting for the next few weeks. Gokey just doesn't cut it. He's the most boring contestant out of the top five. I think/hope Danny is the “total surprise” boot this week — kind of like Melinda Doolittle and Chris Daughtry were.

I love Adam (duh), but if Kris won, I could deal (I would be very disappointed, but I could deal). If Hokey wins, no. (GOD, NO.) Matt, no. And I like Allison, but no. If Adam is not in the finale, see ya, bye. As far as Idolatry: 1) They don't like Adam. They just had to get on the bandwagon b/c he was too far ahead to ignore him anymore. They do nothing but pimp Allison, which is too bad for her, and also isn't helping her at all. 2) There is, to me, a sudden Kris bandwagon. Understood: he has had two very strong performances in the last three weeks. But when Adam does slow, they say it's sleepy, and when he does uptempo, they say he wails. It's hypocritical. Let's see how tomorrow pans out. I have to say, though, that this is starting to get very ugly. I know there was a major Archie v Cook battle last year, but it wasn't like this so early on!!! ADAM FTW I like Kris a lot; as Paula would say, he and Kris are like apples and oranges. I love Adam (duh), but if Kris won, I could deal (I would be very disappointed, but I could deal).

Adam brings a vibe to this show that has really never had a Vibe!I know there are alot of Kris fans, but I just can't see him becoming nothing more than someone who sings ballads well. He totally blew the Eagles All she wants to do is dance". I'm 55 and the only reason I watch Idol right now is to see what Adam brings again. Bought all his songs/studio versions and they are on my Ipod. I have not purchased any other songs from the group....I'm just not feeling them. Fantasia is a great singer, Daughtery, Bo Bice, etc. Remember Bo singing accapella? You won't see Matt, Kris, Danny, do that...Adam could do it. No disrespect to the other contestants......

You are acting like he never gets any respect. He is moved down to the second spot for one week because Kris had a particularly good performance, and he is praised on Idolatry but less effusively, and you (and so many others) act like Adam has been horribly slighted. I don't understand that. Also, seriously, American Idol is a fairly competitive process, and Kris has made it to the Top 5 and has more and more buzz. Is it really fair to compare him to a Starbucks signer? Really? Final point. People appreciate different kinds of singing. Don't you see why some people would admit that Adam's voice is extremely unique, but not especially pleasant? Some people aren't drawn to the "wailing" that sometimes occurs. It is not an objective fact that Adam is the best...especially not for those who don't like his style of singing. We can, of course, disagree about who is better, more marketable, etc. I just don't like the notion that unless Adam is given nothing but praise and seen as the only contender, the commentator must be "fantarding".

Adam might lead off the show, followed by Matt in the death slot, then Allison and Kris. They want Matt gone, but I think jazz standards is right in his wheelhouse and he could kill it. If so, it's buh-bye Allison, and Slezak will have to cry in his teacup. This is the really tough part of the competition as I think most of these performers (sans Gokey) are talented. But someone has to go. The folks at Idolotry have lost their minds in fantarding, imo. I get that they like to play devil's advocate, but, seriously, does anyone think that Allison and Kris are better vocally than Adam? Allison has a great voice but is hampered by garbled phrasing and the inability to change up her performances, and Kris is the kind of singer you can find in any Starbucks on a Saturday night. It'll be funny when they have to interview Gokey. As much as I don't like Danny, I hope he tells Slezak to take a hike for all the Put the Go in Gokey stuff.

I am a bigger fan of Kris each week. He really does have a Jason Mraz/Gavin DeGraw kind of vibe to him, and I love them. Awesome albums to listen to anytime. I agree with Dee.
