Country Week!!! I am with Simon on this one...not really my "cup of tea"...however, I do LOVE Carrie Underwood and the Dixie Chicks (but I don't count them as country)...at least not the Randy Travis type...speaking of Randy Travis....
Welcome our guest judge who thinks this is one of the strongest groups as any other...Randy, you just stick to country!
Michael: "I can sing a lot of great licks"...we shall see. Simon is going to LOVE this :) I don't understand a thing he is saying...but that harmonica guy is cool. (Let's just put it out there right now...I am going to be slightly sarcastic throughout this show...with my love of country and all). Amen Simon!!!
Allison: Randy likes Allison...really impressed with her "mature voice". Love that her rocker voice is still there. She really reminds me of Kelly Clarkson...even the way she moves around the stage...kinda funny. What a great voice...I really like her and am glad I have her going to the finals...take that Paula and your silly little predictions!
***Judge Kara just said the dreaded phrase "you made that song your own"...Hey Kara...get your own material so Paula has something to say! See...she has nothing to say but stutter.
Kris: Bouncing your knee makes you look nervous...I should know. Hey, I like this song! I like it better without Garth's twang (only know it is Garth 'cause Randy said it was...it is Garth isn't it?). Really...if he took the ring off and played single, he would get a lot more votes...he is a cute kid and I thought he did a good job. Isn't it funny how the contestants are all "thanks..." when the judges give them praise...but when Simon praises they are over the moon...guess we aren't the only ones that think the judges (minus Simon) don't know what they are hearing.
Lil: Why not take the country out of country and put in a little R&B...I would enjoy it a whole lot more! Her outfit is much better this week! She sounds nervous...okay...big notes are good! Thank you! The verse...not so hot...but the chorus was fantastic! Love her big voice! Did you know that Lil is short for Little...leave him alone...his British! She did look uncomfortable!
Adam: Randy doesn't even know what to say...I feel you Randy...I feel you! Sorry to all of you Adam fans...but he creeps me out. Why ruin a good Johnny Cash song (yep...I said Johnny Cash was good...)? Have you seen "Moulin rouge"?...creepy like the the little mustache guy in that movie. I don't know what to say about that performance...I'm just a little wigged out..."strange" and I didn't like it. Let's just remember one more thing...he didn't "make it his own"...he stole the song from some wierdo who thought this whole Sitar sound was a good idea. And again...Amen Simon!!! I'm glad that we heard the same song this week. Randy...nine inch nails wouldn't touch that song...pah-lease!
Scott: ...does Martina! I'm sorry...but he doesn't have that strong of a voice and it is kinda buggin' me. Although, I would rather he make it farther then creepy Adam. I wanna say his hair looks tamer...but only on the side facing the audience while he sits at the piano. He does a great job on the piano...but his vocals are not so hot (but that's just my opinion...and you all better respect that).
Alexis: She wants to show us her soft side...I don't care about seeing different sides of the singers...I just want to hear good songs with good notes/pitch/whatever. Is this a softer side...or a more desperate side? I think Alexis' problem is going to be Allison...they are both "rocker chic" like and Allison kills it and her!
Danny: Hey Danny...back off my Carrie Underwood....I hate when people I don't like sing songs from people I really like. Did he have to wear a "snow white" jacket? This is BAD!!! Then he hits the chorus and just starts yelling! BRING BACK CARRIE!!! (oops, that is what I am yelling). Okay...I'm done with him! Judges...you take it from here: Not you Kara...you just keep your mouth shut....you too Paula. Carrie Underwood would not buy that record. I agree with Simon on the outfit...however, please stop giving him any sort of praise...
Anoop: Well...Randy liked it...so we better! So...I just sat there and listened...and I really liked his performance. I thought he did WAY better then Danny and Adam! Simon said "zero to hero"...he must have watched "Hercules" last night. I'm glad they are praising him so much...hopefully that means America will vote for him and not some of the other guys.
Megan: Her voice reminds me of Norah Jones and I love Norah J. I'm just hoping she doesn't caw at the end. I bet Simon makes a crack about the music. I think she is doing great...what a great song/arrangement for her unique voice. I wish she would just stand still...some of her movements make her look really nervous. Good job judges for bringing up the sick factor...always want the sympathy votes...although she shouldn't need them. Did anyone else notice her jet off the stage before Ryan was even finished talking...awesome. I'm glad the judges like her...'cause I really thought she did a good job.
Matt: Another one doing Carrie...STOP!!! Hey...it's country...bring out your twang. Sorry...not loving it...he sounds angry...and I don't think it is supposed to be an angry song. And that last falsetto note...hmmmm! I will agree with Simon on the out singing Danny (but I thought Danny sucked)...and DO NOT compare him to Michael Buble...'cause you can't even compare.
Alright...over all...not hugely impressed with tonight. I though Allison did the best...Anoop was very good...I also liked Kris and Megan. Lil was fine, as was Matt (though I don't like him). An interesting thing (for me) was that the singers I would have automatically put in the bottom 3 did very well tonight...so what will America do? Will they stick with their favorites in spite of how they sang tonight...or will they give their votes to those who did really well??? This is gonna be a hard one!
Click on "comments" write your bottom 3 AND the person going home!!!

Michael, Adam, and Danny. Michael going home.
TT...I started to sing the Hercules song when Simon said "Zero to Hero"...so nice that we are on the same page...And I am also not a country fan, but I could sing along with every single song tonight (except for Matt's). I'm a little embarassed...
Bottom Three:
Michael
Adam
Alexis
Going home: Michael
Wow, what an evening. The standout train-wreck performance was Adam! Ouch, what a disaster, but I actually think people will still keep him on the show, even though I want him gone. Scott's performance wasn't the best (I really like him), but I hope America keeps him around for a few more weeks. I thought Anoop did a wonderful job ("You Were Always on my Mind" is a great song, and I loved the Pet Shop Boys' version). I didn't care for Megan's performance, so here's my bottom 3:
Megan, Michael, and Matt. (going home - Megan)
Carol :)
Michael
Adam
Danny
Michael going home.
(I actually got to watch the first couple tonight. I saw a few on You tube and then asked friends about the rest. Yes, I have friends. It's amazing!)
From Marlene:
I really liked Adam's performance...yeah...I know...I'm in the minority so far on this one. I found it a little strange, but at the same time, LOVED it. I don't get what all the hype is about Danny. I enjoyed Matt's performance last night. I really liked Alexis to begin with, but now I'm thinking she's a little too confident or something! I do like Allison; however, I don't see the comparison to my girl, Kelly Clarkson. I love Simon's comments...every one of them...except when he tells anyone they're fat.
Bottom Three:
Michael
Alexis
Kris
Going Home:
Kris
I have contemplated long enough...I really can't decide...because the people who belong in the bottom 3 based on lasts nights performances...probably won't be...so here goes:
Michael-Alexis-Anoop
Going home: Michael....oh I hope I get at least 3 points!!!
From Janet--
I am submitting Blueroserider's votes as well this week. She gave permission.
Bottom three: Megan, Alexis, Michael.
Going home: Megan.
My votes are:
Bottom three: Scott, Michael, and Adam.
Going home: Adam. (Risky choice I know, but I'm willing to go out on a limb.)
ok, my professional opionion goes like this:::michael was asi asi..(thats texas talk),little lil was not good in song or dress, little rocker girl was amazing(wonder what her mother fed her for breakfast when she was a baby), scott is good but not american idol good, however, i think he will stay around a couple more weeks because american idol wants him on the tour(he will sell tickets),my goochie danny and chris were both good, alexis needs to step it up and get dirty,and megan will get the sympathy vote and matt is also an amazing performer but i dont think the little girls have discovered him and they are the ones that vote,anoop did well and bought other week,adam was the scariest person of all, my prediction with him is that he is really a woman and at the end he will announce to america that he tricked us.
SO MY FINAL THREE WILL BE MICHAEL, ALEXIS, MATT AND MICHAEL WILL GO HOME. THIS IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION AND I WILL STICK WITH IT..EVERYBODY KEEP SMILIN'JUDY(CLAYVERTER)

Michael, Alexis, Megan
Leaving Michael...
I wish that it was Megan, as I just don't like her. However, we already know that the Judges will use their card to bring her back. So, I can't wait until we hit the the top six so that they can't save her any more.
the last one was Paco's
the last one was Paco's
bottom three
Alexis
Lil
Michael
Going home Alexis
Chance
Wow. I can't say enough about how much I hated Adam's rendition. SUCKY. And I am sure I don't have my finger on the pulse of America, but my bottom three choices are:
Adam
Alexis
Scott
I think Adam should go home but all the silly little girls will vote for him (ugg) and the Judges will save him if he doesn't get enough votes. That means Scott has to go. I have to say that.
And just when I thought Paula couldn't bug me anymore...does this woman ever finish a sentence anymore? She's so drugged and confused she can't even complete one thought.
I sound bitter, but just disappointed. I used to like "Rind of Fire". Now I am scared.
I think that Scott will only be able to use the disabled card so much longer as well... his days are numbered.
