Loved the cheesy Disco dance number choreographed by Paula last night It made me laugh. That Kris sure looks good in that retro look. Sorry for Anoop and Lil.

Even if Allison loses, remember that she did win Telemundo’s Quinceanera competition, and has a recording deal waiting in the wings.

Other teen stars need to worry- Allison is going to be a big star, with fans from 6 to 60.

She will no doubt steal the show wen the American Idol bunch goes on tour.

And this is relevant why?

They made the right cuts, they were both not cut out, Lil didn’t want it bad enough, but she sure had a lot of excuses and “if you give me one more chance I’ll show you” comments every time in the bottom. Anoop is a good singer but he’s out of his league, everyone knows it’s a tossup between Danny and Adam and Adam will win this.

I love Anoop and I can’t believe Matt didn’t go home last night instead!!!!!!!! Anoop you are the bomb!!!!!!

This show is about singing, not race. Anyway white is a color too.

Oh and Sando I agree the disco guest singers were embarassing, we had to fast fwd, KC did ok but needs to hang it up, all three of them screwed up their singing. And David’s tender music is only capturing little girls his age attention, if he’s not strategic he will fizzle out.

Michelle, Anoop was good every now and then but he struggles so hard and when he misses the notes he misses them really bad. I hope he can find a career singing. Here’s my deal with American Idol, you have singers like David Cooke who win and go off singing lame songs like he guest sung this season, it’s junk AI is forcing him to sing. When Adam wins this AI I sure hope he continues putting a twist on everything, he’s a true artist and will go far.

Anoop looked awesome in retro. He is an amazing singer. He deserved to still be in the competition. He was in the same league if not better then the contestants left there.

If the track record proves right, White is the only color that will remain on AI. It is always about Race at the end of the road. ALWAYS!!!!

Everyone’s just waiting to hear Simon declare Adam the winner long before the final two are on stage. Even if Lambert screws up, he’ll still win by a landslide. Danny’s a sentimental favorite and will make records, as will cutey-pie Kris, but neither have near the star power that Adam shows us every week. I’d go see Adam, but only buy Danny & Kris’s CDs.

How is AI about race and about being white? I seem to recall Ruben and Fantasia both WINNING the competetion in their respective seasons…

What were the producers thinking about? I was embarrassed for Freda Payne! Disco died and should not be included as a music theme for AI. Ryan Secrist is a jerk and one of the most annoying TV personalities (next to Perez Hilton).

“If the track record proves right, White is the only color that will remain on AI. It is always about Race at the end of the road. ALWAYS!!!! ”

Didn’t Rueben and Fantasia win?

Allison and Matt are gone next, they don’t have the charisma to win. Kris Allen is pretty good and could definitely sneak up into the finals.

Danny Gokey has been nothing but boring for weeks. He’d rather sing a Mariah Carey song than a good rock song and that’s weak.

Adam Lambert will probably walk away with the whole thing. I just wish he would chill with the Iron Maiden scream thing.

I agree Allison should have went home severals weeks, she is always horse, she sounds sick..take her to the doctor..she is 16 and she is damaging her voice..sorry people do not like her..Too weird..is not only me but all of my friends are teens and we do not like her..waist of time with her..
She is not ready her voice is not clear yet maybe in the future…if she sings more than one song she is done…

I totally believe most of the people who listen to American Idol are the same people who have made superstars out of Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton and others. American Idol is a show about singing – and the best singer went off the show last night – Anoop – if you have downloaded any songs from itunes and just listen to the music – believe me -the only one signing who you wouldn’t turn off or change the song would be Anoop – he can sing and I for one and through with the show. It is so contrived – Matt Giraud should have been voted off last night – not Anoop – and Alison before him – most people are looking at all the theatrical and drama side of these performers. Well, again, I for one am going to miss the show and I will bet you next week they won’t have as many voters because most of those voters voted for ANOOP!!!

I hope it will come down to Kris and Adam – but in the end I am rooting for Kris. he has more of an all-around appeal……think Kelly Clarkson. Adam would have a narrower audience ultimately. Allison is trying WAY too hard, and yes, as a 16-year old she does need to chill (and rest her voice) a bit. Danny has definitely gotten boring. and Matt just isn’t as good as Kris or Adam.

This show is about singing

I Agree!

The “race” thing is getting old and BORING!!!!!

AI is becoming a total joke. Are u kidding me with this Adam guy?!!! He is 1 step into Drag Queenville!! And Lil knocked herself out. Race or not. I’m AA. She should have listened and picked better songs. All in all. I’m done with AI. Its not about singing talent anymore. It’s about who the judges thinks has :the whole package.” Dumb.

Normally, I am “spot on” with Simon’s opinions. However, I was way off and also shocked when they saved Matt. Don’t get me wrong, Matt is good,but he has no chance of ever winning!

Frankly, I am surprised that audience didn’t kick Matt and Anupe off. As for Allison, she reminds me of Janis Joplin,who I actually liked. However, she too will have little chance.

Adam is my hands down favorite. If he loses, it says something awful about the voting…but then again, Taylor Hicks won with the voting, and he was AWFUL.

i agreed that Matt should be voted. He is a terrible singer and is trying too hard. Anoop should be in the competition!!
As for Kris, he is just a pretty boy who has a normal voice. I am sure Kris will get many votes from the female. Aliison is also trying to hard and is always screaming. Danny is good but lack the star quality – boring! i think Adam should win. Who cares if he is gay? He can really sing! His voice is a thousand times much better than the rest. If A1 is really a singing competition, Adam should win!

Doglover you are way off on your stereotyping of people who watch AI and what’s funny is that “ALL OF AMERICA” is watching this show and voting…funny you label everyone…yet you’re watching the show, how ironic!

Enough of the racial nonsense, Fantasia and Rueben both won so give up the whole “white” nonsense please.

American Idol is the biggest show on network telivision right now and it’s for a reason, people love it and America is involved at a point in choosing the top singers, period!

Matt…gone next?! Yeah right! He is the best talent to grace this stage in years. He is a TRUE artist, musician, dancer, performer – what more could you ask for? He’s got the SOUL.

I think it’ll come down to Adam vs Matt in the finale. That would be the best competition out of the remaining five. Hopefully, Allison can hang on till 3rd.

Kris and Danny are boring and dull. They lack star quality. They have pleasant voices (in fact, everyone in the Top 5 has a pleasant voice) but they don’t stand a chance in the real world. There are dozens of “Kris’” right now in the music industry that do what he does…except BETTER. And Danny is probably on his way to CCM. I wish him well!

Matt, Adam, Allison = Top 3!

Too bad Anoop had to leave. Liked his singing and would deserve to stay in the competition more than Matt.

I totally agree with (Sandy’s) comments, I’m usually parallel with Simon, but off at times. But seriously Taylor Hick’s??? Hey America voted (not me) but still that’s what they wanted, still never hear anything from him on the radio, etc.

Anoop is my Idol!

It is Simon who makes the ultimate decision on the show. He likes Adam no matter how his performance is, so he can declare him the American Idol now instead of dragging the show for another month. It is always race which wins. Out of 8 american idol seasons, there were only two blacks who won, rest of them were whites. That says a lot. After all he is a Brit, what can we expect from him.

Adam is the smartest…original, creative, good singer…the fact that he didn’t wear sunglasses during the Abdul choreography number made all eyes watch him (because he was the only one not wearing them). He’s a theater person…OF COURSE!!!

Go home with the racist comments it’s getting old. 25% of American Idols have been black. The black population in the US is 13%. But keep speaking out of ignorance instead, all these comments make you racists yourselves.

ANOOP HAS THE MOST SMOOTH VOICE OF THEM ALL. HE SHOULD STILL BE THERE

Agree with Linda, Adam’s theater background was a good start, but nobody can deny that Adam has an Elvis charisma and he draws you into the performance. His version of Ring of Fire was the best country song ever performed, granted I don’t care for country but still…

Since this year’s competition is built on artifice not artistry, Matt, Kris, Anoop, Danny and even Adam the Elvis Impersonator should consider becoming the 2009 version of ‘nSync boy’s group after this “competition” finally grinds to its inevitable end. After we find out who will be the best adaptor to an “open niche” in the music industry, especially since they all can sing, but, except for Allison, all sound pretty much alike.
Adam is of course hands downs the most experienced, the best drama queen. His contrived flamboyance has pretty much set the tone and has ruled the competition throughout. Oddly, like AI on steroids, his Vegas-style staginess has bullied the others to seek a dulled mediocrity in reflection, leaving him the lone standout while they try to hold on to some artistic integrity and they search for the middle of the “American acceptance road” at the same time.
About this the producers seem either unaware, uninterested or perhaps, given their time constraints and contractual commitments, they are simply too preoccupied with turning the show into a caricature of its former self. The show will live or die by the survival of its original charm–when it was all about giving essentially amateur status young people with vocal talents a national stage. Now its all about being a popular TV show, selling itself, the “competition,” such as it really now is, is all about WINNING and the translation of those young native talents into big bucks and big awards. The show’s lost its charm and its edge, and the pressure from that is showing up in the young people’s performances, going for the mundane, the mediocre, the middle of the road where they will sell the most. Really poor use of their talents and our time. Well, as TV shows go, it’s been a long run, and they are already in syndication with “Rewind.”

Allison/Kris/Adam for the final. I would love it if Danny and Matt could both be sent home next week.

Hey Sandy – Taylor Hicks is terrific. Honestly, he’s the best performer they’ve ever had on the show – and 67 million votes proved it. Just saw him live in CA and he rocked it – just like he will next week! Love that man.

Unless Allison grows a huge fanbase from yesterday to next Tuesday, I’m afraid she is the next casualty. Somehow Matt was able to grow his significally. I still think its going to be Kris/Adam/Danny

You can’t trust Americans when voting, thats been proven time and time again, i.e., Taylor Hicks’ win…AND when Jennifer Hudson got voted out – BAD CHOICES…Until the confetti falls on Adam, I will hold my breath and pray. GOOD LUCK ADAM!

I love allison. Shes my favorite. I always vote for her and her voice and personality is what you need to stay and win. If anything shes a great singer, performer and role model and shes my girl and my idol. Rock on allison girl power !

It’s not about race. White America is majority; then you have two blacks and 5 whites as AI winners. Imagine just for a second if race was there to be considered: 7 whites should be winners instead – plus one white in this season as well -. I always wonder how the output will be another way around. Pardon my English, I’m not even American.

Both Kris and Matt suck. Adam rocks – he’ll have a great career whether he wins or not (he SHOULD win). Allison deserves kudos, but not the final win. Liked Lil…not sure what happened. She just couldn’t find her groove. Feel badly for Anoop. He’s charming and can sing.

Allison doesn’t belong in the bottom 3. Shame on the judges if Allison was voted off yesterday. Matt needed to go and I hope what happened was folsk votes for Matt so Anoop would go…He has no talent just swooning teenage idols….

If Allison were blond, blue eyes, she’d get more votes but not!

She and Adam are the top two and Danny is getting to be a real bore…

Get out and vote for Allison and Adam and bumped those other guys out.

Adam should win; he is amazing! And he is a performer. Just look at the artists today that are very successful; they have huge shows, not just music concerts. He will be amazing to watch live, or hear on the air. Danny is just boring. Kris might be a one-hit wonder, but his voice is so mediocre. He also does terrible interviews. Alison is OK, and Matt is OK, but both will be going home soon.

Kris and Adam in the final with Adam taking home the crown.

adam fucking sucks, the only good performance hes had was when he did mad world his take on ring of fire was fucking horrible and his performance of if i can’t have you sounded like shit i hope hes the next one to go.

Dee that was a buncha of blah blah blah, granted your entitled an opinion but at least make sensible. Adam is pretty good but the last thing he has ever done was try to impersonate Elvis. You yourself see his style that way so you label him, that’s sad for you because it just means you have blinders on in real life much less which American Idol contestant is note worthy. Total fail at a long read of nothingness from you.

DEE, your comment makes no sense and seems to be a bunch of relentless babble. Adam has never impersonated Elvis.

In response to the comment by the poster (AdamSucks), you’re innapropiate language will remove your post, and you’ll wither away, furthermore all of these contestants are striving to do their best, you will applaud and respect them because American Idol countdown singers are the best in the World.

(AdamSucks) if you were in a room with me, even though I’m a girl I’d still squash you with my large calves and then put you in a headlock while singing Ring of Fire by Adam Lambert the best idol ever, all the contestants on American Idol are doing a great job.

We have always loved Matt, here in Kalamazoo. He is indeed an experienced musician, for those of you who seem to think that he is a “hack”. If you think it’s easy to take hundreds of song requests each week and turn them into solid gold instantly… well, you’ve never had to play for your supper then. When your life depends on your ability to immediately re-create a song and add enough originality to get enough tips to eat… it’s a tough way to live especially after you’ve worked so hard through college and can only afford limited to low-visibility independent labels..well, Matt Giraud DeSeRvEs this AI opportunity! You all aren’t even seeing his best potential just like we arent seeing Danny’s, Alison’s, nor Kris’, and just like we didnt get to see all that Anoop and Lil really had to give. Why??? Because the gap between them and the raw talent of Adam has shaped public opinion that this AI contest was over months ago. The more press and blog hype Adam gets, and every time Paula annoints Adam as the Idol of Music, well, I fear that these artists lose a bit of their will to risk, to create, and to shine.

I hope Adam wins.His voice is so unique he has charimsa and charm.When he sings he pulls you in
But if he doesnt win(HE WILL) H e will have a great carrer no matter what.I dont like allison she is annoying dont like her voice.
Vote for Adam

Everyone should root for their favorite to come in 2nd place (or less), so they can get an independent contract on their own, rather than be stuck with the crappy winner’s contract.

Also, what the hell is up with Vote For The Worst? Their site has been down all day.

Man I am gonna miss That ghetto Ass
Lil Rounds is an ass man’s dream

adam !!!!!!!!!!you suck….

There has never been an artist as amazing, all around vocally , as Adam Lambert. He is the find of the decade. His older you tube performances are spectacular and show his range of presentations and vocal ranges…he enmeshes himself in the song he sings and draws us into his passion . I loved David Cook last year , when he sang “billie jean”. It was the reason i voted for him, because i got goose bumps. This year , Adam gives me goose bumps EVERY time he sings. He is truly an Idol in every sense of the word, and will be an icon in the future.

Joms you are incorrect, Adam does not suck, get your rainbow brite man thongs out of your koochy, man up and admit that Adam is the best AI contestant ever.

Adam stinks. All you adam fans need to get your facts straight and seriously listen to his vocals. they really arent that sincere, or great.

I feel bad Anoop left. He really deserved to go further, but I know that he will be perfectly fine.

i hope kris allenn or danny gokey win Kris allen more, even tho im a try anoop fan!

i like anoop he is good singer,,plsssssssss back anoop

i like anoop he is good singer,,plsssssssss back anoop. i cant believe he is gone i love his vocal voice.

Anoop had the most beautiful, smooth, soulful voice. I’m so sad he’s gone. I’ll be looking out for his album. Maybe he will do a collaboration with Boyz II Men or Ne-yo. Also, his parents were cute, and it was nice to see them there every week supporting him. You go, Mr. and Mrs. Desai!

Anoop Anoop Anoop – I miss Anoop. With all of the love and support – I cannot believe that he was voted off! People are crazy about Anoop – I can’t believe that this happened. Matt should have gone home, not Anoop. I am waiting for your album Anoop. Love youuuuuuuu!

Anoop was definitely one of the better singers sad to see him go but life must go on think there is alot to look foward to though, Allison is young and an underdog now so she will have my vote…

I didn’t like Adam at first, either, but I like a few of the songs that he has done–”Mad World” and “Tracks of My Tears”. I don’t like his goth/punk style at all, but I love that he has done some Broadway and stuff. I know he’ll win…this season is so predictable. We need more girls!

can you all not see there is something big happening in adam just watch close he is the only one who could handle a complete show and will keep you rooted he is better than anything we have had on x factor maybe apart from our rhydiann go vote cheers bob

There’s still nobody like me ahaha, I love you cila!

Shakuuu I am an always will be innocent. And thats right there’s no one like my former stepdad. please see comment above…

Of this talented group I look forward most every week to Danny’s performances. His style may be less visually dramatic than some, but he’s proven that his audience can count on a rock-solid delivery of every song he gives us. I think he is musically versatile without acting like someone he’s not on stage; instead, he puts his whole self into that powerful but sweet voice. I can’t wait for his album!

I’m A 54 yr old African American lady,I’m so happy that Lil Rounds is gone. She should listen to advice that the judges was giving her instead of trying to defend why she was’nt performing like she did in order to stay on in the show happy that ghetto ”’ is off

Anoop was the best in the competition! I think now that he’s off the show, more and more people are noticing him, and LOVING his voice! He has a great music career ahead of him!

Best ever Idol? Clay Aiken. No contest.

all f u who sez that adam sucks well….sucks not the right word JEALOUSY is.

Dont know why Anoop has to go!!!! He is the best singer!!

Dont know why Anoop had to go!!!! He is the best singer!!

Dont know why Anoop had to go!!!! He is the best singer!!

Its sad that Anoop is leaving the idols, we will mic u man and trust me u might not be AMERICAN IDOL but u are indeed as singer. Gudluk in yo singoing talent u gonna make big. ALL THE BEST. fOR LIL, gal u made us proud u were amazing im sure u know that. GOODBYE GUYZ

This competition really does not appear to be about who is the best singer, but who garners the most votes. Adam is not a singer, he screams. I don’t know how he even made it this far, I just wish he would leave. There were some talented people who did not even make it through the cuts yet we have this mess to tolerate from him every week. I think there need to be some Idol judges who know what talent really is.

I really missed Anoop this week! He would have had an outstanding performance. What a terrific singer he is. He belonged in the TOP 5.
