I thought Alexis should have been in the bottom three instead of Matt, but the other two were correct. And the right one was picked to go home. I don't know why the judges took so long to deliberate whether or not to save him. It was an obvious "no" for me.

The interactions between the judges and the host are often more entertaining than the singers. They could just have been trying to add some suspense with taking so long to vote on Michael Sarver's Save song.

I wonder if Ryan Seacrest or someone else knows ahead of the show what the votes look like to arrange the seating so that the Bottom Three are spread out more on the couch?

I am personally bedazzled by Adam.

They did pick Chris Daughtry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Daughtry to win around this stage of Season 5 though. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...4338632&EDATE=

It is SO CLEAR that Adam is going to win this contest! Wanna bet? Unless the Producers decide Adam is "too polished and professional". Because he isn't really an amateur.

"Adam is "too polished and professional". Because he isn't really an amateur".


Bare, this is why I don't think he should win, or quite frankly, be there in the first place. (Thought the same thing about the Osmond brother's son) I thought the premise of the show was to find amateurs, not experienced performers, and Adam is definitely an experienced performer.


He also seems to have started out with some sort of financial backing with all of the clothes, etc. Maybe his own, but WAY to polished for me.

He has taken the suspence out of the show, but who knows, we all may be in for a big surprise!

Absolutely - It can't be random seating because it NEVER happens that the bottom three sit on the same row or very near each other.

I still personally like Matt the best but he has no voting blocks it seems.

Adam Lambert has quite a stage personality but I do not think I would ever buy any of his CDs.

Matt G., probably will also be able to sell quite a lot of his music.

I see unfortunately Matt G., going home tonight because of his lack of a voting bloc. Megan and Anoop were worse IMHO than Matt G., last night but they seem to have ardent fans.

For the long term in terms of record sales I like Kris Allen's chances.

Matt, for me, was disappointing last night. He should have sang a Ne-Yo or Timberlake song. Or switch songs with Anoop and do the Usher song.

Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert is the best they've ever had. In a class of his own.

[MSNPA]

I have watched Idol every single season, but for some reason no one "grabs" me this season and I am not sure why since many have great voices. I guess if I had a say Megan needs to go now and my favorite is Kris Allen since he seems very "real". I must admit Adam is a great entertainer.

Do you really think he will be a big record seller? If so what genre of music do you see him working in? Pop?

You say class of his own? So he'll sell more than Clarkson, Underwood? Doubtful.

I see him as a Broadway star - maybe movies (like J. Hudson). I'm think if you listened to his music with your eyes closed that you wouldn't be as impressed.

I see Kris Allen (maybe even Matt) as having much more Top 40 success potential.

I suppose he could go into movies too even though I have not seen any inclination of acting talent. If he had the right role I suppose.

Elvis couldn't act either but it didn't stop Hollywood!
