See, Adam is just way too ... Vegas for me, or something. He's got a fabulous voice, but the calculated way he performs leaves me cold.

I loved Kris and Danny (Danny! so good!). And I thought Allison really sold that song -- I think that was her best performance in weeks.

Thank you, rickey.org.

Hey, they were all pretty good! I think Matt will go, and should, and I say that even though he's probably my favorite, both his voice and his style, when he's good, and he was good tonight (except lay off the cheesy melisma). Allison is maybe at risk, given the death slot. I am now bored by Danny and I like Kris and think he's charming, but I realized tonight I don't actually like his voice. Adam for me is on a different plane from the others - we're seeing fully professional performances from him. I can't quite imagine his "pop" album, but if he doesn't come out of this show with either a Vegas show or a starring role on Broadway I'll be shocked.

Did anyone else see tonight's Deadliest Catch?

God, that was just gut-wrenching seeing the four survivors of the Katmai being interviewed about their experience in forty-foot seas, watching their fellows being tossed out of the raft to certain death. The entire episode was suitably subdued, reflecting the sad reality of those seven deaths.

I just saw the clip of Adam's performance from last night--that was great! Loved the swaggerific stroll down the staircase, and the interpretation was a perfect balance of slightly-Vegasy cheese and blues bar smokey haze.

I'm with flea on his future; can't quite imagine a traditional pop album of his, but I can definitely imagine him headlining in Vegas or getting a Broadway show lead.

Oh, Adam's headed straight (heh) for Broadway after his contract obligations are over. I can easily see him in In the Heights, Wicked, West Side Story, Rock of Ages, etc.

would've been nice to see him give some credit to Muse for the interpretation of that song. except for the screaming with the tongue hanging out. that's all him and it's ridiculous.

Kris is definitely my favorite from this season. i think he and Allison have the most potential to put out albums that people will want to hear.

Danny surprised me, he'd gotten very boring for me and he wasn't boring to me.

I loved Adam's performance and especially the end when he held that note and the way he ended. I like Allison and I hope she goes through but I'm worried.

Wouldn't be surprised if Matt ends up going home tonight.

Wow, is Natalie Cole really, really tall, or is Ryan shorter than I thought?

When there are only five left, a bottom "three" seems kind of silly. Did love Adam's face, though, when Ryan moved him over, and Allison and Danny, who looked absolutely dumbfounded.

I think Ryan is pretty short, Amy.

Oh, I know. I think the bottom three was kinda stupid with only 5 left. They did it for shock value, I think, and to let everyone know that noone is safe from the bottom three. Pointless, when there's only going to be four left after this. Are we going to do a bottom three next week? @@

Has anyone seen the video of that Jamie Foxx song? RON HOWARD is in it. ::boggles::
