I don't understand the love for Danny. He's been fairly mediocre, although having an interesting soulful voice. For me, it's gotten stale like I believe Adam has gotten (never was a fan of his to begin with, but some of his performances were good when they didn't go screamo). Danny also has no stage presence, and if he wins, he'll end up like Archuleta or old-man Hicks.
Danny needs to go. Adam and Allison were good. Kris was not all that great, but somehow he still gets a ton of votes from all the female fans so I think he will stay. It needs to come down to Adam and Allison being the final 2 IMO.
Agree completely with this post. I have never quite understood the love for Gokey either as to me, he gives the same exact performance every week - he never changes anything up! Yet, his personal story about losing his wife has endeared him to so many fans that I think people vote for him because they feel sorry for him not for him being any good. If he wins the American Idol, that would really suck (never imagined myself typing something like that, lol). I didn't catch last night's show (you don't want to know why) but I read about it on the net and my rankings would be (based on performance): 1) Adam (if you factor in the duet) 2) Allison 3) Kris 4) Danny Yet, I think Danny is safe and either Kris or Allison will go with it being most likely Kris.
no offense, but we all have different tastes.. seems a little odd to rank them "based on performance" without watching any performances.. and reading someone's subjective analysis. At any rate, I agree with your's except I'd flip Allison and Adam (I never gave an overall including the duets), and I also agree that it's Allison or Kris gone, with my guess being Kris
Gokey should've gone home. His last note last night will go down in Idol history as the worst note ever.
ugh...we now have the most uninteresting final 3. danny and kris are as bland as cardboard and adam is destined for show tunes. there is no american idol this year.
http://bbs.clutchfans.com/showpost.php?p=4214418&postcount=7 "danny gokey and adam whatever his name is are both locks for the final 4, and are possibly the two best vocalists the show has seen in all 8 years. they are both sick." not a bad call from that early in the game? kris allen overtakes whatever her name was last year as the most talentless person to make the final 3. gokey's gonna have to step up in a big way to win...his song choice throughout the show has been atrocious. sings way too many obscure songs. you have to stick to ones that the general, and mainly teen, demographic knows. last night was the first time i thought lambert was really good. his screaming style is pretty conducive to zeppelin.
I know that I'd be most likely to listen to music put out by these people (in order): Allison Kris maybe Gokey if it's right..but seems unlikely
None taken - when I am unable to see the show, I read about it the next day on buddy.tv - pretty good site on American Idol, especially in the recaps by Oscar Dahl. Was sad to see Allison go but not surprised, she had been in the bottom several times before last night plus you have the fact that many teenage girls are voting for Kris because of his looks. So, it makes sense that she was the one sent packing although I wished it had been Gokey instead. By now, if anyone other than Adam wins it, I will feel that the winner wasn't the best singer overall (this is especially true if it is Gokey).
I'm upset that Allison went home. All of the teenage female fans are voting for Kris based on his looks (even tho he's only about 5'4). Allison killed it last night in her farewell song, her best performance yet. So emotional. Blah from here on out. Adam is in a league of his own, with two bland/boring guys competing against him. I hate the way voting works on this show. It sucks.
agree. Except I think the other 2 (moreso Kris) have a chance to do well if they get lucky with the right song, great performance, and just have everything go perfectly. Adam is in a league of his own, but I don't think he'll get any more radio play than Ruben Studdard. As someone else said, he's best suited for broadway..
I just watched it again and Allison's farewell performance was the 2nd best performance on the show this year behind Adam's Mad World. I'm really bummed that she is gone. Kris/Gokey are lame as can be. Boooooo
No one has mentioned Paula's GOD AWFUL "peformance" last night? Seriously, this woman makes The Pussycat Dolls look like The Beatles...
