I was so fucking worried when Kris said he was singing "heartless." I was like: holy fuck how is he going to pull this off?
he did a nice nice job.
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

Because books.
I just love Danny's voice. That growly, husky thing always works for me, and I do think he sings well. I would totally listen to an album of his.
I really liked Kris's performance of "Heartless". And I don't like Kanye's version at all, so ... I'm not sure if that's why.
Also, the judges' fighting tonight is annoying. Ryan should ask for combat pay.

Danny's #2 reminded me why I once used to like him.
Kris' #2 made me kinda hope he wins.
I sure hope Adam's #2 doesn't suck. During One I said out loud, "he sounds like Diana Ross." And not in a good way.

Thrive to spite them
He did a really good job. His song choices and arrangements are a big reason why I like him better than Danny and now I want to hear a Kris and Adam finale because I think it would be really interesting.
Danny is nice and safe and he can sing but... the big question at work today (among the Idol watchers) was -- what kinda album would Danny make? None of us could figure it out. Kris's I could imagine original songs, some covers (maybe) a mix of guitar and piano and something different. Adam is...well Adam and his cd would be him, maybe something theatrical or glam rock esque.
But Danny? I'm not sure. Ballads? Inspirational songs?

Danny is 100% contemporary Christian soft rock. Easy-peasy, and he'd sell, too. Just not to me.

or me. I can't stand Danny. He did a nice job with song #2, but no one who ruined his rock song last week should be allowed in the final 2 or should win AI. No.

Because books.
Danny chose the wrong song last week, I admit. But I could see him doing a Joe Cocker type rock album, or some Bob Seger type of ballads.
Kris I can see doing the Jason Mraz/Matt Nathanson type of thing.
I'd buy either of them, or at least listen.
Adam can sing, yes, but those falsetto things in every song drive. me. crazy. I see him, and I see Broadway, or Vegas.

Gotta admit, I wasn't thrilled with any of the songs tonight. Maybe Kris's "Heartless," but that's it.
