    I'm glad I wasnt the only one, I liked it a lot.. I know Simon said it was too over the top, but I really liked the passion he put into the song..

    Interesting predictions...

    Lil with the best call-in numbers...

    Allison significantly lower than the rest of the field, making her fairly likely to be in the bottom 2.

    I wish there were a way for dialidol.com to take text voting into account, but it doesn't seem to make much difference anyway, as they are pretty damn accurate anyway.

    interesting, but it looks like the top 6 are all really close and could be anywhere once you account for deviation plus texting

    I'll admit to being a little surprised by that. I guess people didn't like the black leather tights.

    my guess was that she would be the 2nd elimination this week.

    Like I said before, I like her overall.. but she has been in the bottom 3 before, and for some reason the general public doesn't like her as much as you'd think they would based on her singing. (Personality, obviously--though I don't completely get why)

    At any rate, all it took was an over-the-top performance with the outfit she was wearing.. along with no one else besides Lil completely flopping.. for her to potentially be in the bottom 2.

    She'll still end up with a record and a chance at doing alright in the industry I think

    I had predicted that Lil would definitely go and probably either Anoop or Matt. However, if DialIdol is to be trusted that would be amazing to see Allison go. But I can't say that I am surprised as this season has seen wide shifts of votes towards specific candidates. The only ones that seem immune to it are Adam and Danny. And even though I thought Allison's outfit last night was extreme (who in the hell is dressing her? Herself? If it is someone else, she needs to fire them), I think that would be a shame if that was the reason why she got voted off. Besides I would rather see Kris go before her as I did not care for his performance last night - just not a fan.

    Oh and if Allison does get the boot, I wonder how bad the judges are going to feel in the fact that they had already used the save as you know they would want to save her (and with good reason).

    Agreed. And it's funny... there are 2 slots tomorrow. Unless those 2 are filled by Lil and Anoop, they will have to face that their Save was wasted.

    If it's Lil and Matt (or Matt and Anoop), then Matt should have been gone anyway and it was a waste when they still have 1 more week to use it.

    If it's Lil and Allison/Gokey/Adam/Kris , the judges would rather save one of those 4 than Matt.

    And if it's NOT Lil, then the judges would clearly rather save whoever it is in her place...


    so really only 1 situation where they did things "right". If it's Lil and Anoop, it was fixed like the Patrick Ewing lottery!

    If Allison goes this weak, last week's decision to save Matt would be so LOLed.

    Updated power rankings for the final 5:

    1) Adam Lambert
    2) Danny Gokey (don't really like him but he must have a huge following)
    3) Kris Allen
    4) Allison Iraheta (being in the bottom several times worries me that she may get voted off anytime - deserves to be in the final 2, though)
    5) Matt Giraud (I love you Matt but it will be a miracle if you survive after next week)

    To me, only Adam and Danny seem to be sure things to go to the final 4. I can easily see Kris, Allison, or Matt getting voted off - it will all come down to their performances and the judges' comments. But it looks like a pretty solid final 5.

    Nah. It will come down to Adam and Kris. I think that we could all agree that they could just end the show now and give it to Adam and that regardless of what happens, Adam will be the biggest star, BUT I think Kris has the biggest following. I read last week that the majority of AI voters are female, and Kris has the biggest following becuase all the girls think he is hot.

    I think it will be Kris in Adam in the final two for sure, and I could even see Kris winning it all, even tho he shouldn't.

    Talent wise, none of the contestants are even close to Adam Lambert. I can say with certainty, right now, that Adam should win regardless of what happens from here on out.

    that's dumb. kris and allison have both been really good...allison especially. I agree that adam has them beat right now, but to say that the 4 weeks of coming performances shouldn't have an impact on whether he wins or not is stupid.

    Despite that fact that I'm not a big fan of Adam's, he does show originality and can sing. I just wish he would quit adding that Axl Rose scream in every song he sings.

    disappointing show. i love the rat pack music and there were maybe a couple that stayed true to the spirit.

    kris and allison (2nd favorite voice of this season) i thought captured the spirit.

    matt was close, but i didn't think his performance was that good (although i like this voice the best)

    gokey annoys the crap out me, and i didn't feel any bit of rat packness in that arrangement at all.

    and adam (admittedly an awesome voice) just abandoned the rat pack theme altogether.

    for someone who loves that genre, this week was disappointing.

    for me.. allison should be out based on this week, but it could be matt based on overall performance over the last few weeks--plus that little arrogant scoff after kara said he wasn't connected to the song (though i do hope he stays)


    great:
    gokey

    good:
    kris
    adam

    decent:
    matt

    good, but forgettable for some reason this week:
    allison
