Adam did an awesome rendition of Whole Lotta Love!!!. Danny did an awesome rendition of Dream On!!! I think Allison & Kris did their songs well...but were they good enough??? Actually, I was a little disappointed with both of them being this close to the finale. I thought they did wonderfully in their duets!!! So, now to the weekly question...Who will be leaving tonight & why???

Anyone but Allison or Adam! Don't care who, as long as those two stay. I love them both, and expect it will come down to those two. But how to vote if it does??? They're both so wonderful!! Ok, I'd have to vote for Adam. He's truly the best, imo. Go Adam!!!!

I've been impressed with Danny!!! Her's come a long way since the season started. Adam was great on his audition. I find Allison to be a natural also. Kris runs hot & cold way too often. If Adam doesn't win, I'm NEVER going to watch Idol again!!! I'm pulling for Danny to be second & Allison third. After all, Allison is ONLY 17 (& just turned 17 at that) so I'm betting she gets a contract out of her time on Idol. I think Kris will too. I'd love to see Adam & Allison to become a team. They are a lot alike & seem to have an amazingly natural chemistry!!!

That is a really hard question this week. Kris's performance was probably the weekest however, Danny had that horrendous scream at the end of his song. I think Adam and Alison were fantastic last night. Kris sounded nice, but he does not have that sleezy rock edge that, that song needs. Really hard to say. I hate to see anyone go at this stage.

Taking into account that Kris is NOT a rocker, I don't think he did that terrible. He was the weakest of the 4, but he's NOT a rocker, so he should have been the weakest!!! Being a rocker who naturally sounds like Janis Joplin, I was somewhat disappointed with Allison. I agreed with Simon, that her duet with Adam may have just saved her azz!!! I didn't find Danny's scream to be that far off from Steven Tyler's & he's considered a hero!!! I think at this point they shouldn't send anyone home. They should let us vote for the winner & let there be a top 4 this season. All 4 of these people deserve to be recognized & offered contracts. Time will tell who will actually make it. If you look back, winning American Idol doesn't necessarily mean you've got a career!!!

You missed a good night!!! As always, Adam freakin nailed it!!!!!! Every week I have thought was his best. The next week he proves me wrong. He amazes me with the way he can take a tried & true hit & make it even more exciting!!! My first reaction to Ring of Fire was that sucked. However, once I forgot how Johnny Cash did it, he did an exciting rendition of it!!! Even Slash was impressed with Adam & I get the feeling doesn't much impress Slash but Slash!!!

I am a huge Kris Allen fan. We are from Little Rock, and he will be performing here on Friday. My daughter and a couple of her friends are headed downtown to see if they can catch his live performance. I wish I could, but I have a luncheon at school that I can't get out of. I seriously thought about making an excuse so I could go to the River Market and hear him sing.
I wish people would leave him alone. Just because they don't like him as well as the others, I get frustrated when people think the only way to build up their favorites is to bash someone else.

I was thrilled when Kris wasn't eliminated!!!! However, I cried when Allison was!!! I knew somebody had to go, but I didn't want any of them to leave. At this point it is becoming torture for me. I wish they had just let the final 4 stand on stage & then announce the winner. I think every contestant this season should be offered a recording contract & just see where they go. Matt has been on every talk show on the air this week. Now that he's out from under the thumb of Idol, he's really showing his natural talent. I've been noticing on Idol that the one Simon doesn't like gets a crappy song the next week so they get voted off. The ones Simon likes, get really good songs. Yes, it might be their talent getting them through. I fear this coming week will be Kris' last week. I think he has a lot of talent, but his confidence level is a lil shy!!!

I gotta agree with Willow Girl. I think Kris is leaving tonight. Adam will probably be the last one standing and I think the duet he did with Allison was awesome. No matter which way it goes, I expect to hear a lot from Allison in the future.

I hate to see Kris leave, but I agree with both of you!!! I hope Adam & Allison become partners kinda like Sonny & Cher. They have natural chemistry & they do compliment each other!!! I would like to hear MORE from EVERY contestant this season. This has been the absolute most talented season for Idol!!! Adam said he felt like Allison was his little sister. She's 10 years younger than he is. I had noticed that he was always hugging on her or holding her hand or making sure he was close to her even before last night's duet. Danny & Kris sounded well together also. So several collaborations could come from this season!!!

Honestly I think Kris will go home. He just didn't "bring it" as they say. His weird mouth contortions last night were driving me crazy! Danny and Kris just don't do it for me. I'm so glad Adam and Allison did a duet together they are def. my two faves!

I liked Kris in the duet. I think he failed miserably in the solo!!! The way he twists his mouth got on my nerves too. Yet, I still like his voice. Still I felt for coming up on the finale that he didn't bring it like he should!!! When they said Allison was going to do Janis Joplin, I was excited. However, she only did Janis Joplin...not her version of Cry Baby. Of course, if she had screwed up Cry Baby everybody would be criticizing her!!! Allison sounding like Janis wasn't a stretch for her. I've been saying all along she reminds me of Janis. I loved Danny's version of Dream On. He overdid it a lil on that last note...but so did Steven Tyler!!! Danny didn't hit one sour note while holding that last scream!!! Adam could stand on his head & whistle Dixie & come out being good at it. He's a natural. Personally, I think Danny has grown much more than Adam. Adam was good when he auditioned & nothing has changed!!! Danny had a good voice with NO personality when he started. He's grown into an excellent performer!!!
