American Idol

[Prettymaid]

I just thought about something. Unlike with the first set of twelve, this week they didn't have the stairs, the sofas, the interviews - I liked it so much better this week! But wouldn't you think that 'for fairness sake" they would do everything exactly the same for all thirty-six contestants?

And Simon didn't go last - Hell Freezes Over!

I only saw the first hour of AI, and then I switched over to "Lost". Did I miss much in the second hour? I did see Allison during the first part of the show, and I was blown away. She kind of reminds me of a young Janis Joplin!

Stars, Adam, who went last, sang the Stones' Satisfaction and the judges thought he was the best of the night. While I thought he was a little over the top, I still appreciated his excellent vocal range. I agree with the judges - when you're in a competition like this, you can't just sing well - you have to show what you've got, and Adam did that.

Thanks, PM! I hope they will show a clip of Adam's performance during the results show. I assume the results show is tonight?

Look here! Clips of all the performances! (scroll down)

Thanks, Soda! Adam was very good, and deserved to be in the Top 12, IMHO.
He's also got a nice personality, and he ain't bad on the eyes either!

No surprise that Adam got through last night over "Norman," although I admit I was a smidge concerned Norman would get the "entertainment value" vote. lol I was very happy Allison went through as well.

Kris though.... wow. I'm astonished he got to the Top 12. It's not that he was bad, he just wasn't that great.

I hope Matt G. gets a wild card spot. His song choice was not so hot, but he's got a really great voice. Jesse and Megan are also two strong Wild Card contenders for the same reason, I think, and maybe Jasmine.

p.s. Did anyone else notice that "Norman" seemed a bit lost during the group sing?

[Prettymaid]

Does anybody else see a resemblance to Elvis, especially around the eyes?

I thought Kris was forgettable.

I only watched the last five minutes. My Fighting Illini were playing (and won - yea!) I didn't get to see the group performance.

[Molly]

I agree with you, PM. I thought of Elvis a couple of times while I was watching him perform.

I just found this from Jesse last night on YouTube.

And here's an interview with her and Kris

Unfortunately, I missed both of last week's shows, so I'm glad I can catch up a bit here. How much d'ya wanna bet these two become an item? They already seem like a couple in this interview!
