Sorry I missed you guys last night. Had to work. :(

dialidol has Kris going home with Anoop in the bottom 2. If that is true, it’s a tragedy because Kris certainly does not deserve to go home yet and I think is a good candidate for the judges save.

I thought Kris’ performance was better than the judges and I really thought Anoop showed some serious vocal ability with his song.

The bottom 2???? Come on America!

I thought the judges save was going to be reserved for Lil, but they seem disenchanted with her now.

Speaking of Lil, she’s in the 4 spot again. Who is voting for this girl, or for Scott for that matter? I don’t get it.

And Adam, no doubt he has talent but I just simply can’t jump on the bandwagon with him. Something about him irritates me and I don’t like the fact that there seems to be such an odds on favorite so soon.

I think we’re in some agreement.

Here’s my take on last night: Boring, boring, boring! Should have been titled “Songs in the year WE were BORED!” (Only my top 2 were worth their weight in this thing and that’s not saying much!)

1. Allison Clarkson - I Can’t make You Love Me – Allison’s clearly the best vocalist in the sad bunch. Simon made a good point as her “personality” may be what’s holding her down. She’s not as bubbly as the other 16 year old winner, Jordan Sparks. Hopefully she’ll take that to heart so her vote counts go up.

2. Danny Downy Jr. - Stand By Me – Not one of his best but he’s a very good singer and he’s a likable guy. (That may get him to win this thing about gay Adam.)

3. Anoop Call-Center - True Colors – The kid’s got a decent voice but that song would put a crying child to sleep. Hope he gets a chance to step it up a bit next week.

4. Kris Average - All She Wants to do is Dance – Bad version of the song but the kid’s got talent. Unfortunatly, dial Idol has him going home tonight.

5. Matt Timberlake - Part time Lover – I don’t see what the judges saw last night. I like the kids voice but thought it was good karaoke at best.

6. Adam Fag-butt - Mad World – I don’t get this kid. He sings like he got himself caught in his zipper with those mad high notes. I thought it was boring and self obsessive.
7. Scott Wonka - The Search is Over – Started out OK but went down hill fast. This may be his swan song. The search is over for his stay on idol.

8. Lil Obama - What’s Love got to do With it – What’s talent got to do with it?? At least the judges finally see her for what she is, a lame copy of past black females who could sing rounds (no pun intended) around her! But the Obama votes will keep her in I’m sorry to say.

Who will go: Kris or maybe Scott.
Who SHOULD go: Lil should have gone 2 weeks ago!

I agree. He's clearly not an amateur either. Yes, other contestants have had self-produced albums out, but he was in the touring company of Wicked. That's not like some teeny off-broadway show no one has heard of. That bugs me a lot.

Seacrest asks the judges their thoughts on the performances last night.

Randy: Flat and off.

Kara: Some people are good and some people are bad, and some people are better than others while others aren't quite as good.

[She didn't actually say that, but it sounded about the same]

Seacrest introduces an old b&w clip of Frankie Avalon singing "Venus", the number one song when Cowell was born.

The real Frankie Avalon--hair piece firmly in place--suddenly walks out on stage, singing "Venus" live. The judges are really surprised. Simon almost falls out of his chair.

Group song is also live. "Set Me Free ... I can't get you out of my head". It goes on and on! Finally a commercial break.
