Pretty straightforward tonight, honestly:

1. Adam - The only one to really nail both his solo and duet. The judges, as usual, gave him a free pass on essentially a copycat performance of the original while dining other contestants for the same thing, but there's no denying he was the best of the night.
2. Allison - Duet was very good, solo was fine, but below expectations. She could be in trouble because this was a "wheelhouse" night for her and she needed to shine, but didn't quite make it.
3. Kris - Actually overshadowed on the duet by Danny, showed he's really not a "rocker" in any sense. His solo showed the better side of Kris, which was the one who changes things up -- the only original performance of the evening, in my book.
4. Danny - The duet performance was surprisingly good, but the solo was painful. Too, too much -- it would have been over-the-top from Adam, and Danny can't even come close to pulling that off.

At this point, voter loyalty plays as much as performance. I'm not sure who's really in danger of going off. Since this is normally the "surprise" week, I'll go with Danny.

Agree...probably Danny gets the boot tonight. He just didn’t hold up last night.

I’m really shocked at how many think Allison was only so-so. I thought it was her best night so far. It was the first time I’ve seen real stage presence from her. And she was boffo in the duet. If she gets thrown off tonight, I’ll be very surprised.

Now I’d like to see her do something a little more fun. Maybe Scandal’s “Goodbye to You”. I used to love that song on my long L.A. commute. [The only downside is the potential “jinx” in the title!]

That's very possible.
