This thread will contain real time SPOILERS! If you don't want to know what happens please read the thread after the show premiers in your area. All discussion related to the show should be contained in this thread so as not to ruin surprises for the different time zones.

The parties will start when the show starts at 8:00 PM Eastern time.

1: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You are allowed to discuss opinions in a reasonable manner but you can not attack someone if they like or dislike a particular contestant.  Please respect your fellow posters.

2: There will be no personal bashing of any contestant. You can say you don't like the contestant for their performances or because you just don't like their personality but please do not personally attack the person. No name calling will be tolerated.

3: Please do not post pictures in the thread.  Some people still have dial up and the speed of the thread is impacted with the number of pictures posted. In other words, it takes a long time for their thread to load.

4: People come back and read the thread after the show is over, we're going to try to do our best this year to note who is singing and what for each show. When referring to a contestant, if possible, please use their names so we know exactly which contestant you are referring too.

5: Remember our Claymaniac friends on the West Coast and don't post AI information in community threads. Keep discussion and spoilers here.

6: Also asking you not to post Dial Idol results. Many people don't want to know who may or may not be voted off until the show airs.

I'm always uncomfortable watching their trips back home. They seem so... hokey. Parades, confetti, keys to the city.... hypnotic

 wave   Hi Michelle and Sunny

It's hard for me to believe that next week is the last week.  Was this year shorter than previous years or is it just my imagination

Paula's choice for:

Danny Gokey - Dance Little Sister - Terence Trent D'Arby

seems an odd choice but he's singing it well shrug


Paula chose it because Terence became iconic overnight with the song and the tone of his voice.


Randy - Let the games begin; way to jump it off; sounding good; that was dope for me dude

Kara - the key is in his spot; dancing was too gyrating for me; great singer but will I remember that performance tomorrow I don't know

Paula - thinks Danny did really good; let magic part of your voice carry the song

Simon - just a reminder this is a singing show not that funny little dancing show; although the dancing was a bit desperate; vocally it was very good; didn't like the sax solo; Paula was on the right track with Terence but would have chosen one of his other songs for you

There are 3 performers but 4 judges...so who drew the short straw and doesn't get to pick a song?

Nevermind, Ryan just answered my question. Kara is lumped with Randy's choice.

I agree with Simon--that dancing was desperate.

I hope Danny is voted off tomorrow. I think he does the same thing, week after week.

Kris Allen - Apologize - One Republic

I'm surprised they chose a song that was big for Danny Archuleta last season though I do agree it is a wonderful choice for Kris. Nice that he's playing the piano for this one.


Kara and Randy chose this song because: Big song, big range, song is open for interpretation


Randy - here's what I love about you and this song; you could have a song like this and sell millions of records; it shows us what you could be in the future of the music business

Kara - really competent performance but at this stage you've got to be hitting it out of the park; I wish...I know you can interpret songs in a groundbreaking way...and that's what I wanted for this one

Paula - this song sits in the right place for your voice; there was a bum note that was loud but I'm so proud of you b/c at this stage all three of you are worthy to be in the top two spot

Simon - argues with Paula; I think Kara's comment is a cop out - you can't choose a song for him and then blame him for doing the song; it was a competent performance; you can't blame him you didn't hold up to your responsibilities - if you wanted him to play the guitar you should have told him and come up with an arrangement; and then it just went downhill from there with the judges sparring with one another.

and yet again Adam gets the sweet clean up spot. I wonder if they'll change the order they sing for the next set of songs.

Adam Lambert - One - U2


Simon chose this song because: one of his faves in the world, had to get permission from U2 specifically for this song; got permission Saturday from Bono that it would be their pleasure for Adam to sing this song


Randy - dude, you are definitely still in the zone; been hot since day one; great vocals; a little off the melody; you are a really talented guy

Kara - you are a strategist; you just proved you can do a song completely different and make it unbelievable; you did your own version

Paula - it was one brilliant song; one superb performance

Simon - may be biased but that was a brilliant song choice; you find a great artist, you found a great song, work out what you want them to do; brilliant performance; if you aren't in the finals next week it will be one of the biggest upsets
