AI the tuedsay edition

Interesting show. It was the first one that I thought was kind of weak. It felt very karaoke tonight. Interesting, they finally get to sing whatever they want and they flop. On top of that some of my faves didn't do so well and some I didn't think would make it much further did OK. so I'm not sure who's out. My least favorite performance of the night was Anoop but he seems to have a little more support than I figured him for, so I'm not sure he goes home. So my list in order of beast to least:

Adam. This was a great performance for him. I'm grooving on the Elvis look. You think the king would have sang that song? He'll need to keep mixing it up so we can see the great performances coupled with a connection moment like last week.

Kris. I like his voice but he pretty much bores me when ever he sings. I thought he did a great job tonight though. He is getting better every week. He could be a sneaky one.

Danny. I didn't care for this performance. It did seem karaoke to me. Very good karaoke, but still imitation. I think he'll need to be careful as we narrow the field. With a performance like tonight later in the competition I could see him being odd man out.

Lil. I think tonight was OK for her. It reminded us how well she can sing, I think it's still early enough that building a resume is still not a bad idea for such talent. But the judges are right on, she needs to find more relevance. Also she was smokin hot in her video but not so much on stage. She needs to figure out how to let who she is shine a bit more on stage.

Allison. I didn't like this performance. Every time I see her now I see a 16 year old trying to be older. I don't think that'll work. She'll need to fully embrace her R&R and cross her fingers to get by week 6, and it's a comin'.

Megan. Well I like her. Every week she's getting closer and closer to actually learning how to sing. She has to be more careful in song selection. If she thinks she'll win based on vocal ability she's a fool. the judges have been trying to steer her, she's either doesn't get it or she's not listening. She's finally good enough to pull off the right song. Can she find it?

Scott. an improvement tonight. He's just not as good as the rest, it's only a matter of time.

Matt. He's insanely talented. but he's in a tough spot. If he does what he does best his votes get squeezed by the other guys, and if he goes rock he just doesn't pull it off well. My opinion is that he sticks with the R&B and hopes other guys fall before him. He gains with every male eliminated.

Anoop. he's got a nice voice, but I just don't like him when he tries to be contemporary. I can't believe he's still in this. That tells me I don't get his appeal. And that tells me I don't know when he goes home. I hope tomorrow.

I really don't know who goes home tomorrow. Adam and Danny are probably safe but after that I just don't know.
