I think Adam will really shine this week. Hope he wears a suit like the one he wore several weeks ago. Think he'll pick a Sinatra song ??

There are some female members of the 'rat pack'. Only one is a singer though. But the type of song will still be tough for her. I wonder if somone will do 'somewhere over the rainbow'? Adam perhaps? I would think he'd go for Sinatra though.

From Wiki:

it was the name used by the press and the general public to refer to a group that called itself "the summit" or "the clan," featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, who appeared together on stage and in films in the early-1960s, including the movie Ocean's Eleven.[1] Despite its reputation as a masculine group, the Rat Pack did have female participants, including movie icons Shirley MacLaine, Lauren Bacall, Angie Dickinson, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland

This will be a very interesting night. All the guys have the ability to really score on the rat pack type tunes......Alison will have the biggest challenge...but she could tone down her style and nail it tonight...can't wait.

Whatever Adam picks, I predict he will be irrestible. (Well, for the ladies anyway.) Perhaps he'll choose "My Way".

The expectation level for Adam's performance is extremely high, hope he doesn't disappoint. I'll be glued to the set.

You have to be very careful not to MOOOOOO when you go into these studio's
In my opinion we are setting kids up for a big fall when dealing with these clowns who run these programs.......some children may never recover from the rejection .......
ps I've never seen the program !! It comes on the same time as The Home Shopping Network !!!!

Default if they do a bottom two tonight on AI...

...it will probably be Matt Giraud and Allison Iraheta.

I'd like to see Allison Iraheta a few more weeks but unfortunately expect this will be her last week.

Enjoyed Danny Gokey's performance the most of the contenders. Maybe, he now has a shot at beating Adam Lambert but it seems like a very slim one.

I LOVED Danny's performance!!! Adam is very polished and almost seems more like a seasoned guest rather than a contestant. Whatever happens, I'm sure they will all be able to live their dreams.

Adam was awsome but I had to agree with Simon he is a bit dramatic and sometimes over the top. That entrance down the staircase was brilliant. And the white suit...well.....Already looking like a professional.
Danny was second best...he probably won't win but we will be seeing and hearing lots of him in the future,

This might sound crazy, but I had a smile on my face the entire show - these kids are terrific! My least favorite though is Matt.

I read in the paper that Lil Rounds said she lost votes because of the mean things the judges (mostly Simon said about her). Personally I never did care for her.

Wow!!! I think they all did a fabulous job!

But agree it will probably be Allison or Matt that will go.
I think they both have better vocal ability than Kris but I know he has such a huge fan base.

Arrow Swoooooon!

Still swooning over Adam here. But I loved Danny too! I agree that Matt is my least favorite. It's an incredible season!

My sentiments exactly!! I think if he chooses "My Way" he will be fantastic!! And looks great in a suit!! Hope he walks down the stairs again .
They are all gifted and very talented, but think its Matt's turn to go.

I pretty much agree with everyone. I love Adam's theatrical style. What an entrance !! He was fabulous & so was Danny. I think it will be Matt & Allison in the bottom. Kris won't make it til the end, but I think he has a larger fan base than Matt or Allison. He wasn't bad last night. OKAY, sooooo the last 2 standing will be Adam & Danny. IMO. Either one can win. They'll both be successes !!
