I'm trying to think of who you're forgetting. Kris? And Scott? (The blind guy.)
Allison is the 16-year-old, and I disagree -- I think she's got a remarkable voice and a hell of a lot of presence for her age. She never looks like she's rehearsed, really -- she just gets out there and does her thing.
I think if you saw some of Lil's other performances, you might like her a little better, flea. Or at least have more of a sense of her.
Danny is my favorite. I love his style and his voice, and he's adorably geeky, sort of, and so laid-back and awesome. LOVE him.
Matt (the JT look-alike) did a fantastic Georgia On My Mind during Hollywood week, flea. I think if you'd seen that, you'd know why the judges are for him. And, while I thought he was good last night, I don't think he merited the judge love that much, either.
as usual, Amy, you and i are as one. despite my facebook status update, i did watch the performances on my lunch hour via the lovely rickey.org. i have to admit i kind of liked not having to sit through a lot of the judges drivel. if the season keeps going the way i'm expecting it to, that may be how i watch from now on.
Adam belongs on Broadway. pure and simple. last night reaffirmed that for me. he was constantly looking for whichever camera was on him so he could have eyesex with it and it irritated me beyond belief.
Allison has stage presence. Last night wasn't a great show of it, but last week when she took the song and rocked it she was the first one to come out and really use the stage and do something besides stand there.
I think of that week (crap I can't remember what she sang)Allsion, Adam, and Alexis used the stage the best. Or at all.
Alexis is in her early 20s I think.
It looks like a bird got caught in Carrie Underwood's hair, couldn't get out and died on her head. Fug-ly.

I don't think I could watch AI without TiVo. I only watch the boot on elimination night. And performance night I only watch the song and comments, none of the other fluff (videos, phone #)
who got booted?
Alexis. I was so ready for Michael, or almost any of the guys. I still don't get the Danny love, but I think I was put off by the whole sob story angle and then him singing "Hero".
I knew it was going to be Alexis. The judges haven't liked her (for some unknown reason) and critized her while praising others who to me are way less talented.
Alexis.
huh. interesting. that means 7 guys and 3 girls on tour. that's different.
My co worker has a theory that Alexis did or said something off camera to offend the judges. That's the only reason she can think that they've consistently been hard on her.
