I think I watch "Dancing With the Scars" simply for the body count now.

I really liked Adam's performance even if non of the judges got it.

I thought he sounded great, but I hated that arrangement. Social Distortion does a rocking version of that song that would have been fun instead.

I completely disagreed with the judges' reaction to Michael, too -- it's not always about the pure, simple vocal. He sold that song, had fun with it, and got the audience pumped. That's what people want, I think -- let's face it, there aren't too many rockers out there who are technically perfect vocalists.

Re: Adam. So did I, the boy has some mad vocals. He would be hot, hot, hot on Broadway. Or, as my comic store guy says, he should be in a band like My Chemical Romance. Hee.

I enjoyed the heck out of Michael! I'm not a country fan, I could barely understand a word without the closed captioning, but who wouldn't have fun with him out there having a blast? I could get into his song much more than Scott's, that's for sure.

And I loved Lil's rendition of Independence Day. She can make any song hers.

I'm worried Alexis is going to be the one to go home. I hated Megan. Hated what she did to the song and I don't think she has any stage presence but there, but they were really pushing the sympathy vote for her.

I did like Matt, tonight. I really don't know who I liked best. I have to go with Allison, Lil, Danny and Matt for sure. And Adam. He's kinda in a category of his own.

Adam's version reminded me of The Deftones cover of No Ordinary Love... both covers sound kinda creepy and otherworldly.

I'm worried that Alexis will go home, but I think it should be Scott. Or Megan.

Did you Proj Runway fans see this?? CRAZY

Whoa!

She really is nuts.

Did you want to hear what I think about American Idol? I knew you did! Bear in mind I only started watching last week and have missed lots of performances due to Bedtime for Children.

Danny is my favorite so far - he can sing AND talk intelligently, and is rocking the geeky music minister thing.
Adam terrifies me. He is a good singer and has stage presence but his over-the-topness is so completely not my style that I have to watch him from the hall. I only saw the closing snippet of Ring of Fire and wanted to spork myself. So not my beautiful cake.
Anoop is a local boy (UNC) and seems like a smart and nice fellow, but everything about him shouts "dorky college a capella " to me. I can't see him ever becoming a pop star (though, if it can happen to Clay Aiken...)
Alexis is, like, 19, right? Why does she look sort of like Cindy McCain in her brittle matronliness? She can sing okay but I am as meh on her as the judges - she's not "growing" and they like growth.
Megan Joy - love her song choices, am just fine with her weird vocal stylings, but the problem is, she can't sing. She has, like, a 3-note range. Maybe with some training she might get better, but I don't think there's time. Also someone needs to teach her what to do with her hands and body when she sings. Maybe teach her to play guitar.
Matt? - the Timberlake-alike - I wasn't as wowed with as the judges were. This was the only performance I've seen, so I am willing to give him the benefit of doubt.
Lil is one of the better and more polished singers, and should go to top 4, but so far she's just solid and not sock-knocking-off. She needs to change or grow or develop some AI narrative to go all the way.
Megan - is that the 16 year old with the low voice? Not going far. She's sort of got one thing, and she doesn't do it exceptionally, from what I've seen.
I can't remember the rest - I think I haven't even seen two of the boys. (Why so many boys?)

In closing, kat perez, where are you??
