Oh no. They're going to "step away from the competition for a moment for an important Idol Gives Back update"

Why don't they just go ahead and give Adam the title right now  
They pretty much have, haven't they? Laughing

Well, it's too late to do it this season. Maybe they're going to start hyping it for a year from now.

If Adam comes in 1st or 2nd, there's no way they'd ever let Clay get near enough to him to tour with him.

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

Me too. I am sooooo done with Danny.   But I think I read someplace that if Kris is voted off tomorrow, all of his votes will go to Danny.  And likewise, if Danny is voted off tomorrow night, all of his votes will go to Kris.  I have a feeling this is a formidable block of votes.  Paranoid  For those of us who want Adam to win, we had better prepare to vote our fingers off next Tuesday night.

So true.  And it begs the question in my mind, at least.  WHAT ON EARTH WAS CLAY THINKING TODAY????

Idol Gives Back has raised over $140 million in the past two years.

Carrie Underwood went to Angola, Africa one of the countries that benefited from funding for bed nets to fight against malaria.


I'm just wondering why they put this segment in the competition portion instead of tomorrow during the results. Oh yeah, because tomorrow they need all that time for the professional artists they'll have on the show. Roll eyes

I think they said they're going to do it every other year or every two years or something like that.

round 2 should be interesting.   I found myself disagreeing with the judges on Adam.  I thought he started off fantastice, before he got self-indulgent and screamy.  Am I the only one?

I'm enjoying the fact that this is their "off year".

I would agree with that. I like his performances, but I found myself wincing there toward the end.

 wave REDHEAD,  I agree to a certain point.  I have said several times here on this thread that for me Adam is a performer I would enjoy seeing perform live, but I probably wouldn't buy his CD when it comes out because of the "screamy" factor. 


Well now, a very strong, original, artistic performance from Danny.   Clapping Clapping

Danny Gokey - You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker


Danny chose this song because: didn't really say, just said he needed to step it up so he went through a bunch of songs from his mentors and this song came to him.

I think it was a "safe" choice and chosen to play on voter emotions about his wife. Nicely sung but boring.


Randy - amazing song, what I love about what you just did is you showed that you're here because you can really, really, really sing; mad vocals

Kara - everything you didn't do in the first performance for me you just did; stunning; amazing

Paula - left all of us breathless; love the structure but allows you to infuse your own thing; changing the chords and using the gospel and r&b part of your voice you nailed it

Simon - loved the song; wouldn't have changed the arrangement; I'd call that a vocal masterclass for you

Kris Allen - Heartless - Kanye West

Kris chose this song because: it just came to him

Surprising choice, good for him! Not a brilliant performance but very good.


Randy - this is going to be one of the toughest voting nights; I like that version better than Kanye's version - better than the original; you're in it to win it; love it

Kara - why didn't you do that with Apologize? Bold; fearless; the tone, the pitch, the phrasing; hot

Paula - you are the bravest artist because you sang a song about Simon Cowell; this is what keeps you relevant, to do something different; bravo

Simon - I had written you out of this competition after the first lame song choice; but that however has all changed after that performance

      Redhead,
       
                I agree about Adam he does  seem inclined to get screamy. I could only
                 listen to him in small doses.
                 
                          Must say I like Kris.
