I did not want to like Adam but man that was really something last night! And Kath, his performance of Black and White was the only one a watched a couple of times. The guy can perform.

As a rule, I’m usually put off by guys that obviously spend more time on their hair than I do. I think the plastic look last night comes from wearing too much face make-up. I think he either had/has bad skin and tries to cover that up with too much foundation. Coupled with Randi’s point that they do these really extreme close-ups…I wouldn’t want a camera that close on me!

I LOVED his version and you could tell Smokey did too!

I love Adam Lambert even more now! I think that people need to go to iTunes and download his singles like Kath did because honestly, I think it’s looking at him that gets to people. Remember that these people will be recording artists and will be performing in concert venues with lots of light effects and darkness. American Idol has the camera shoved way up in their faces which is kind of off putting if the singer isn’t gorgeous.

I thought Anoop was fantastic and I really like Kris Allen’s tone. Matt Giraud’s tight pants bugged me, I kept looking at places I shouldn’t have. I’m not into Danny Gokey at all, mostly because he seems like he’s extraordinarily full of himself but tries to hide it. Adam may be full of himself but at least he acts like he is!

Based on last night, Megan needs to go! I wanted Scott gone until I heard her sing and I really don’t think I can bear another night of whatever she does. I wish that Jorge was here in her place, and that’s saying something!

Completely agree with you on L’il Rounds. Maybe she will have “her moment” next week. I loved Allison, Matt, and Adam. I just don’t quite get Kris, though. What was the point of the guitar? It just seemed like a crutch for him and didn’t add anything to the performance. I think he has a great voice and is adorable, but I wish I could see a little more risk from him.

I think Meghan was horrible and should go home but I wouldn’t be surprised by Meghan or Scott’s departure

Thought Kris, Allison, and Matt were all awesome. Adam’s package as a whole has been somewhat off-putting to me, but tonight he gave a beautiful performance. I loved it!

Megan, Scott, and Sarver were all horrid. Lil wasn’t very good, and Gokey really needs to step it up. Anoop was just okay.

Megan, Scott, and Sarver should be the bottom three, and I think they will be.
Scott should go home, but I think Sarver will.

Loved your Dirty Dancing quote. Loved it.

Still don’t like Adam. But yes, he was very good last night. Still DO like Kris. And he was also very good last night. And there’s something about Allison I’m just not loving. It’s certainly not her mad talent, though. What IS it?

Being a geezer I loved tonight because I love Motown. Okay so I warmed up to Adam a bit, he is good looking under that hair. He looked like a young elvis which was perfect for the time period. My only vote went for Allison – I like many of the guys (Matt and Kris are my favorites right now) but am just trying to save the one girl with real talent. I’m kind of over Danny, he peaked too soon. I hope Megan goes home I . do . no . get . her . never have.

I continue to love Matt. I thought Kris was great this week – he stood out for me in a way he hadn’t in the last few weeks. I thought Anoop was solid.

I’m firmly in the anti-Adam camp. I really liked his arrangement, but I hated his vocal – something about him just turns me off. It’s all just too much – too over the top, too dramatic, even when he tries to do something more understated, like this week. I’m also pretty anti-Danny – he’s okay, but I don’t get the adulation. I find him totally mundane.

I hope it’s Megan’s time to go – as much as I agree that Michael can’t win, at least listening to him sing doesn’t make me cringe. Megan continues to make bizarre choices, and that twee trill in her voice makes me crazy.

Might point exactly on Gokey. It’s always the same.

I’ll go ahead and give Allison another look tomorrow. Maybe I missed something.

I just don’t understand what people see in Gokey? Sure he’s a great singer, but haven’t we heard that performance, I dunno, every other single time he’s sang on that stage. Tool.

But on a positive note, Team Pumped for Allison!
