Because books.

she just doesn't really have a clue how to package herself or take advice. She just wasn't ready for AI, yet.

So true. She's got a fantastic voice, but it doesn't seem to work for her unless she can really belt something.

Wow, Donna Summer, heavily represented tonight. Which I love. Now I wish I had my Donna Summer on CD rather than (gasp!) vinyl.

Anoop would look so much better if he did a Sayid (Lost) thing, you know? Longer hair, ripped jeans, a little scruff (not the measly mustache). But he still performs like a wedding singer for me.

I'm going to say the top three will be: Adam, Danny, and Kris.

Has any season every been so heavily weighted with guys?

Who else was in it the Ruben/Clay year? I think the third was a woman but they all kind of run together for me.

I can see Allison in the top 3. I actually have been trending downward on Danny - he's sort of one-note to me. (He was originally my favorite.)

Have y'all noticed Adam almost always gives kudos to the musicians or arrangers? It's both professional, and I think, honestly humble.

Two go home tomorrow - I think Lil is a given and then it's a tossup between Matt and Anoop. I personally hope it's Anoop. I am tired of the college a capella flashbacks he makes me have.

Thrive to spite them

I really liked Kris, I think he's the dark horse of the season in the sense that no one really saw him as a strong contender. My original pick for final 4 was Alexis, Allison, Danny, and Adam. But with Alexis gone it's going to be Allison, Adam, Kris, and Danny. Personally I think it should be Allison, Kris, and Adam in the top 3. I'm just not that keen on Danny, he's nice but he's sort of.. boring in a way.

I think the save for Matt was a bad choice, he's just not the caliber they want him to be so I figure tonight's bottom 3 will be Lil, Anoop, and Matt. I hope Lil and Anoop go home.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

on twop, they speculate that they saved Matt last week because they didn't want to be in a position to save Anoop this week (the last opportunity they would have for a save).

I guess Simon might have said this last week.

I know. The kid is just a class act all the way.

le_nub, I think you hit the nail on the head. I'd have hated to see them have to save Anoop.

That was quick. I guess with 2 they can't drag it out too much.

No shit. But it wasn't like it was any surprise.
