Honest to goodness I’m about American Idol-ed out by this point. I’ve videoed and screencapped and posted and discussion boarded and voted myself crazy this evening for Danny. But alas, I still want to get my thoughts out on ALL the contestants.
Anoop Desai – Beat It Anoop is in trouble. That was not very good.
Lil Rounds – The Way You Make Me Feel I thought I’d be blown away by her again but I just wasn’t. She’s got a voice and the song was ok. She just didn’t blow me away. And may I be so bold to see that Lil’s got much back? Even white boys gotta shout.
Kris Allen – Remember The Time I loved. Kris Allen. The beginning was better than the end. I think he got a tad excited and kind of went off on a tangent but wow, he WAS sexy and so much more comfortable behind the guitar. I really hope we get to see more of him. One thing I have to say here is Kris’ wife’s reaction to Simon’s comment was HILARIOUS!
Matt Giraud – Human Nature I lurved me some Matt tonight. Definitely could see buying his record. And I think he sounded pop like he wants yet kept the soul in there. Very JTish of him. Nice!
Adam Lambert – Black or White I said it on Twitter but you either love or hate Adam. I’ve said before I do not like him. And I still don’t like him.
Jorge Nunez – Never Can Say Goodbye Jorge was very forgettable tonight. I think he’s in trouble too.
Scott MacIntyre – Keep The Faith I feel bad for saying it but I wasn’t entirely impressed with Scott. Little boring and a little off.
Danny Gokey – PYT (Pretty young Thing) – Go Danny!! I have to admit it was a little questionable at first and I felt at times he was screaming the song but wow, he’s really amazing. The dancing was not good but he even admitted and making fun of yourself is the first step to people accepting you. It’s ok, Danny!
Alexis Grace – Dirty Diana She was great! The girl knows how to put some fire behind her songs. Love it.
Michael Sarver – You Are Not Alone He was better than I thought he was going to be tonight. Not sure he deserves to go home quite yet but I don’t see him lasting more than a few weeks.
Allison Iraheta – Give In To Me Girl is awesome. She reminds me so much of Kelly Clarkson but she’s got grit that Kelly lacks.
Jasmine Murray – I’ll Be There It was ok. Safe and boring.
Megan Joy Corkrey – Rockin Robin – Isn’t she googling herself and reading how she has to quit the hip thing? Oh my word, it makes it all weird. If she had gone funky with that instead of Playhouse Disney, it might have been good. She’s in trouble too.
Favorites tonight were Danny, Allison, Matt and Alexis. And honorable mention to Kris.
As noted, Megan, Anoop, Jasmine and Jorge are IN TROUBLE.
My favorites were Danny and Kris. Kris is totally cute and I thought Simon’s comment about his wife was RUDE! I really think Danny is going to win this thing though. Not crazy about any of the girls.

Simon’s comment was misunderstood by most. He was trying to playfully suggest that Kris should’ve kept being married under wraps a bit longer to let the cuteness factor buy some extra points with the women in the audience. And I kinda think he was right about that.
I wish they’d bounced Anoop & kept Jorge.
Goodness, as much as I was rooting for her, Megan’s song choice was horrible and her dress wasn’t good either.
Lil needs to go. She’s outta her league.
