Yeah, i think you're right.

Can't wait to see what he does next week already. LOL.

Put me down as too hip, but no sympathy needed.

Wow Sammy, are you an Adam Lambert fan too?

I feel after having watched AI tonight that most of the other contestants have already given up. They're going backwards for the most part while Lambert is striding forward with the gait of a Titan.

I actually think Anoop (who has no prayer to win) is emerging as a distant second best. I thought he'd be gone weeks ago, but he's really improving. I thought Allison has had some awesome performances, but she has not impressed me in weeks. I thought her performance tonight was mediocre at best.

I want to know who stole Snipers 928 and left him the keys to a Miata ??

Just kidding, never watch the show, but I"m a big Gary Jules fan and liked his cover...

[Heel n Toe]

Is that "Vote for the Worst" movement/website still going?

That used to keep some competitors on the show long after they should've been gone.

9dreizig- If the Miata is supercharged i could almost live with it. My cousin has one of those, it's like a 'roid-raged slot car. LOL.

As for Lambert, i didn't know how he would out do his performance last week, and then i saw his performance of Stepenwolfs "Born to be Wild" last night.

It starts out a little wierd with some techno-funk tones (some 'strict constructionalists' of rock are not going to like his re-mix i am sure), but then they're playing actual heavy metal power chords and he's thrashing alongside the band and backup singers- which you just DO NOT see on American Idol ever, and from there it just goes into hyperdrive asskicking mode, and closes with an insane high note/primal scream that would make Bruce Dickenson proud.

Here it is:


Rock has been in such a mediocre state for many years. The entire genre was begging for a true mercury-plant-tyler caliber superstar, and now it has one...and one tied at the hip to all the best song writers in the business today. And oh yeah...he looks like Elvis.

This kid is going to be freaking huge.

Not sure. The ones that need to be going have pretty much been dropping in order like flies. I don't think anyone has gone too soon really. Of course at this point the other contestants must feel like Star Trek TOS Red Shirts...

[berettafan]

Geez i thought he pretty much sucked last night. Terrible song choice.

My comment, were i a judge, would've been 'why in the hell have you not yet done a Cult song?'

just terrible. got cheers last night based on who he is and what he's done to date, not what he actually did last night.

[m21sniper]

I think as simon said that was a love it or hate it performance.

I loved it. So did the crowd. You couldn't even hear Seacrest trying to give out the phone numbers.

Please post a link to that vid... I'd like to hear it.

Just checked... VFTW is still up: http://www.votefortheworst.com/

Vote for Lil Rounds, the VFTW Rose! 1-866-436-5707

Lil got the pimp spot tonight, and boy did she do everything she could to make that a moot point. So vote! 1-866-436-5707. From singing off key to picking one of the most overdone karaoke songs ever to doing it "gospel" style, Lil definitely infuriated Simon with her choices. And when he called her out on being terrible, she talked back. You go, Lil. Nice work! Keep it up, because we need to see that fiery side so everyone will support you more. Lil could easily go home, but we could also easily see Kris, Anoop, or Matt take a hike as well. So let's keep Simon's least favorite contestant in for yet another week so she can talk back again next week, pick another really bad song, and overall make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Note to Lil: Here's some advice. You've become boring to the average watcher. That's why VFTW is supporting you, everyone else doesn't like you. What you need to do is pick something completely ridiculous next week if you're still around. Seriously. Pick something silly, stupid, fun, and just go for it a camp it up Megan style. If you want to be remembered, that's the way to do it. We'll support you either way. But think about it this way: Do you want to go home singing a boring song or go down in a giant ball of flames? Flames are fun.

...and its songwriter isn't too shabby either:


... and this lady Morgan sounds pretty damn good. Watch for her somewhere:


Adam Lambert? To each his own. I realize music tastes are subjective.

I didn't think it was a good song choice, but I thought his vocals were "spot on".
If it hadn't been "movie song" week I would have said it was a bit over the top and theatrical. He should have sung Purple Rain.

LOL, i cannot disagree with any of that.

Lil Rounds sucks pretty bad.

Wow, yeah that would've been one hell of a selection.

I think the main problem with born to be wild is that it's just sooooooooooooooooooo played out. If i have heard that song once i've heard it 500,000 times.

Of course, that is the fault of radio.

Really good voice, but not my style or genre.

Last year's winner (Paul Potts- opera) was extremely talented.

[snbush67]

MCA,

Thats a bit sick, I didnt need to see that, its really not about weather or not he is into guys, girls or both, whatever. He is vocally gifted and talanted and besides....maybe he just staged those pics to get the ghey vote.
