So, Rock n Roll night with Slash and no real dress rehearsal. Adam did great, when Kara was talking about 80s glam that's kinda what I've been seeing Adam as doing. It will be interesting to see Danny and Kris and what they do.

Plus Duets. That could be interesting.

No one is posting?

Okay loved Allison. I liked the song and I'm glad she went with something that hasn't been done over and over on Idol. Vocally she did really well.

I really liked Kris. I I thought he did way better than Danny both in the duet, although he sorta forgot his lyrics but he seemed more comfortable with the song than Danny. I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles (negative personal associations) so I can't really compare how well he did. think Danny just not totally butchered the song but killed it in a bad way. The do-do-do thing he threw in and then he couldn't do the last part and if you can't do that, you shouldn't do the song.

My opinion Danny should go home.

But I think it will be Kris or Allison.

I thought they all brought their "A" game, tonight, but I gotta admit Adam and Allison were my favorites.

I thought everything was good, except when I wanted to shout at my Teevee OH DANNY GOKEY NO.

Favorite moment was when Slash said of Adam, "He's got some pipes!"

Rewatching Adam this morning, he was doing this little lip curl in his performance and now I really want to see him in a pompadour and white jumpsuit doing Elvis. Am I bad and wrong?

I've thought the same thing many a time.

I wonder if Adam being in the bottom last week is why he went first tonight. It was sad how much the quality dropped off as they went on. I've never liked Danny very much, but that was atrocious.

One of my coworkers is a big Danny fan and she can't stand Adam's voice and she was mad that AI opened with Adam and Allison's solos and then closed with their duet, which she felt put Kris, and especially Danny in a bad light.

I think Danny should have gone more along the lines of Bon Jovi or John Mellencamp or stayed with some song that was in his range. Another theory from work is that Danny probably isn't that familiar with Rock as a genre (or at the very least performing) which accounted for his awkwardness on stage. flea you are not wrong. And in an earlier performance he had a bit of a pompadour and did the lip curl and it was very early Elvis.

Because books.

I think Danny should have gone with Bob Seger. And Kris with Bad Company.
