1. Kris - The only real talent left
2. Anoop - Boring 3. Gokey - Boring but competent 4. Lil - Bad song choice 5. Matt - Meh 6. Allison - Good song choice, horrible execution 7. Adam - Easy Rider - The MUSICAL. Take a classic rock song and turn it into a shrieking cabaret act. B: Matt H: ADAM G: Anoop |

Overall good enough night, though a few too cheesy/safe song choices.
7 - Anoop - Awful song choice, but he sang it well. Boring. 3/10 6 - Adam - Bad song choice. He's back to his shrieky shrill banshee ways, and this performance was reminiscent of his awful semi performance. Definitely his worst performance of the finals. The only thing I liked about it was the hard rock feel he gave to part of it near the end. 4/10 5 - Matt - Bad song choice. The beginning was actually very good, but once the orchestra came in it got worse. I do like that rolling feel he gave to the song though, but he did have some vocal problems. 5/10 4 - Danny - I do not really like him nor his singing style, but my favorite (if you can call it that) performances of his are when he's not spazzing out around the stage. And a fantastic song choice helped. He does lose points for not taking Tarantino's advice AT ALL and moving his hands distractedly all throughout the performance. But it's still his second best performance of the season only behind his other slow song performance (the song name is slipping my mind at the moment). The first part was the best, when he sang it softer, and I loved the harp. Oh, and he looks MUCH BETTER without glasses. 6/10 3 - Allison - Not her best performance, not even up there in the top half of her best performances, but up there in the growing pantheon of top-notch performances by her. It's like a 9.1 when many of her others were say 9.4 perhaps. 9/10 1 (Tie) - Kris - I thought he'd surely be the best of the night, but someone else tied him. I love Kris, and I LOVED that he picked that song, amazingly (for me) less than a week after I first watched that movie! Love the movie and the song and I love him taking a risk in picking it. Beautiful, great song choice sung beautifully. 9/10 1 (Tie) - Lil - I could've put either her or Kris last even though they're tied, so I went with Lil because I think this is the first time she's been at the top of my rankings. I'm not a fan of hers, though I do think she's been too-criticized by everybody, judges and people on this board alike. I LOVED her song choice (I wonder if she had to fight Allison for it) and I LOVED the way she sang it, first the original way then gospelly. And the gospel part worked fantastically. Best finals performance of hers by a mile, and even better than her great semis performance. Plus she's looking better week after week, and I loved what she said to Simon; she needed to. 9/10 I wish the B3 would be Anoop, Adam and Danny, with Danny going. I predict the B3 will be Anoop, Matt and Allison (possibly Kris) with Matt going. |

1. Kris (I thought the performance worked. Liked his song choice, and I thought it was the best of the night but that's not saying much)
2. Anoop (He's really underrated, but I just find him so damn boring. I like him better in fast-paced trainwreck form) 3. Allison (Definitely her weakest performance, but I still think she's the best we've got this year) 4. Adam (The shrieking is finally getting to me, I definitely prefer his softer side) 5. Matt (I think he's just coasting. He doesn't excite me, like his personality though) 6. Danny (No) 7. Lil (lol <3) B: Danny/Lil/Matt H: Danny/Lil/Matt G: Anoop/Kris/Matt |

1 Adam - liked his melody choices before the stratospheric stuff started - and that stuff - well, it's what makes Adam, Adam. Like his voice or hate it,
you can't say he doesn't put on a show.
2 Kris - not technically perfect, but touching 3 Allison - rough, I gotta say, but better than the rest of the dreck that follows 4 Matt - hate that song, hate that he chose it 5 Anoop - he sang it well, but, like Tarantino told Degarmo - I don't care 6 Lil - was any note in tune??? 7 Danny - I saw you sneak a peek heavenward, you little shit. Nothing he does seems genuine, and his tv grieving makes a mockery of millions who do so for real |

Anoop was the only non-trainwreck. Everyone else was basically awful. So of course Anoop will probably get voted off.
The good 1. Anoop The bad 2. Kris - His worst performance since that "Man in the Mirror" mess. At least he sort of connected emotionally, even if it was painful to listen to. 3. Chokey - I can't believe I'm putting him up this high. He didn't make my ears bleed. My eyes, sure. But not my ears. 4. Glambert - And... we're back to shrieking. Only positive was stage presence. The fugly 5. DoorMatt - Why is he still here? 6. Shrill Sounds - Why is she still here? 7. Trollison - Why is this thing of indeterminate gender/species/breed still here?

1. Anoop - not even close this week for me.
2. Allison - dumb song choice, not a great vocal, but better than the rest 3. Adam - vacuous screeching but at least there was some swagger 4. Matt - awful song choice but most of the vocal was OK 5. Lil - good song choice, uneven performance, at best 6. Kris - pretentious choice which went beyond his limited range. He looked like he had bad intestinal pain. 7. Gokey - I loathe this song and I loathed his version of it. |

How the FUCK are The Frames "pretentious" or "obscure"???? Jesus Christ. I'm pretty sure that song was on fucking VH1 Top 10 Countdown
last year.

I'm sure all 9 people who saw Once remembered Falling Slowly, and I'm
sure all 2 billion people over the world who watched the Oscars that year rushed out and bought or downloaded it the next day, ensuring its status as a
perennial classic.
But to be honest, I'll take obscure over over-covered any day on AI, even if it was a sucky performance. |
