My bold prediction: Kris goes home tonight!
Am I wrong?? No, you know I'm right.

1. Probably. Although, Danny's scream alone was bad
enough to send him home. He'll stay though.

2. That was horrific wasn't it?
He's got the God Squad behind him though, so yeah, he'll stay.

But that was embarrassing. I bet he admits it tonight, after he's had a chance to watch the tape.

Trust me, it's true.

5. I'm not sure that's such a bold prediction.
According to my sources, DialIdol has Kris at the bottom.

6. Sigh. I know.
Kris is cute, but he doesn't stand a chance against the Giant Adam.

And speaking of Adam, is it just me, or does he seem HUGE when he stands next to Ryan?

That's the only time he seems so gigantic, though! Is Ryan just really tiny?

7. Ryan is pretty short. Joel McHale pokes fun at Ryan's height constantly.
Personally, I think Danny should be the one going. He won't, though.

9. Agree
It's not just the height, though. It's every aspect. Even Ryan's head is like half the size of Adam's.

Seriously, it's like watching Gulliver and a Lilliputian!

13. I'm looking at it now and they
have Allison at the bottom. They are saying it's too close to call so it could be anybody except for Adam.

but "anyone except Adam" sounds pretty good to me.

Allison is my number two pick.

16. I would love it if he was voted off
He certainly deserves to go home. I think he did so bad that his fans probably voted like crazy so he will be safe.

12. I think Kris is going too
He definitely was not the worst but I don't see Danny going home. I can't understand how the judges didn't criticize Danny more. They basically made excuses for him, saying it wasn't his element. I guess they're just carrying out the producers' wishes.

17. Overconfidence
I think Danny has completely bought into the hype surrounding him. He's always so cocky and smug...I think it just got the best of him. He shouldn't have even attempted that last note because he's not a good enough singer to pull it off. He doesn't know his own limits.

23. I agree that he shouldn't have attempted that last note. He shouldn't
have attempted any Steven Tyler, but I don't think he is cocky and smug. I think he is endearing. He isn't the best though. Adam and Allison are the best singers by far.

22. There was only one
contestant on the stage last night who could have hit that note and that's Adam. What the hell was Danny thinking? Slash knew he wasn't going to hit the note and Danny was just to ignorant or arrogant to realize it.

24. I wish it would be Danny - Kris wasn't half as bad. I read on some
comments page and some person said they had "inside information to the phone polls". They said Adam would be cut. I really hope they were making that up.

I will be so pissed if he gets cut.

55. I think she was better than Chris (or is it Kris)
She has a recording contract and do quite well, she and Adam will have a duet.

There are plenty of folks that didn't win that have gone on to do quite nicely. She will be one of those winners.

Edited on Wed May-06-09 09:16 PM by undeterred
But I actually like all 4 of them in different ways so, whatever. Getting the most votes on idol is not a reliable indicator of how successful someone will be.

58. I have liked some of his performances
He's not someone who can be plugged into just about any genre and do well, though. Adam has had some stellar performances and a couple of weird ones. Spectacular voice, though. Chris is a cutie pie.

I felt bad. I thought Danny had a chance of going home. But I'm sure Allison will have a good career regardless of how far she went.

44. That's what I wanted - Adam/Allison.
But you're right - she will be successful.

Chris Daughtry is proof of that. He is AMAZING. He's the best non-winner Idol has ever seen.

54. I think that was part of Allison's problem...
the people who liked her like Adam and last week with him being in the bottom 2 they didn't throw the votes to Allison this week. That's true for me.

She is an incredible talent and should have been in the top 3.

60. The dancing was pretty good
Lip-syncing doesn't really bother me. So many singers do it that I usually assume the person is lip-syncing unless proven otherwise. There was just something missing from the performance. There was no excitement. Plus, the song isn't very good.

He has no charisma at all. And his voice is mediocre.

How the hell could Allison have gone home with Danny still in the competition??? :crazy:

59. I kind of liked him at first.
I thought his voice was just OK, but now that I see how self-congratulatory and chatty he seems to be with the judges, he just turns me off.

He has the dead wife and the clean cut Christian thing going. I wouldn't be surprised if he advances farther than Adam.
