Allison's youth and inexperience come out during Simon's comments. She's trying to "show personality" and stand up for herself, but she doesn't quite know how to do it yet.

IMO not the best song for Allison.
THEA - The judges seem to agree with you!
And I agree with the judges!!!!
But Allison still has my vote!!!

SUNNY, I'm just hoping he sings something that doesn't make him look and/or sound like a fish out of water.

First duet of the evening:
Danny Gokey and Kris Allen
-
Renegade - Styx
Better than expected! Poor Kris, he just isn't a rocker
Randy -
really like the harmonies; you guys complimented each other greatly;
Kara -
some parts better than others; pitchy moments; together it was united and strong
Paula -
powerful; compelling; good job
Simon -
Danny you were better than Kris
Still don't understand the reason for introducing duets to the competition

Hi Everyone
I'm late tonight -- waiting for the weather to cooperate before I turned the computer on.
This is not my favorite genre but they are not doing bad.

And Simon is back to being a jerk again. That didn't take long.
And I think it really put a damper on Kris's spirit.

Interesting you should say that, Thea, because I was thinking that's just how Danny looked in the duet.

WILSON BARB. If you had been able to watch Adam singing "Whole Lotta Love" tonight you make have decided to LOVE this genre!

They've been trying new things all season long. It's ridiculous. Since Nigel Lithgow left, there's been no continuity from one week to the next.
But at least they took out having the judges walk in together. That was laughable.

Unfortunately they both looked a little....fishy...singing a hard rock song.
And I agree that Simon really knew how to take the wind out of Kris' sails. I hope he can prove Simon wrong right now....

Love that Kris is doing this song. This requires somebody who can really spit out the words.

Thea, I did see Adam tonight on the small TV in the bedroom. He did great for what they are doing tonight, but I still wouldn't want to watch it for very long at a time.

Kris Allen
-
Come Together - Beatles
Sunny
you said something about Kris and uptempo?
I'm glad he ditched "Revolution" for this one as it suits him much better.
Randy -
I know you aren't a rocker but I appreciate you picking something where you can still be yourself; wasn't blown away by the vocals but I loved what you did on the guitar
Kara -
definitely the softer side of rock; this was not a great performance; it was trying too hard; not the best song; there's more than what you delivered tonight
Paula -
risky to do Beatles but the artistic delivery; your signature is all over it; your imprint is what makes it compelling; you're an artist on this stage; need a little more energy but you are deserving
Simon -
I didn't like it that much; it was like eating ice for lunch it will leave you with nothing to remember afterward; boring song; bit of a jam; didn't believe anything was going to top Adam and I was right

I liked his take on it better than Carly what's her name's last year.
