I wasn't a bit sorry to see Jorge go, and realy would have preferred Anoop to have gone home instead of Jasmine. My favs are (not in any particular order):

Allison
Megan (though she has GOT to have better song choices)
Alexis
Adam
Lil

The rest of the crowd just leave me cold. I wasn’t a bit sorry to see Jorge go, and realy would have preferred Anoop to have gone home instead of Jasmine.

So far he’s shown he can do a slow, melodic, soulful song and a fast, upbeat pop song. I have a feeling his ballads will be easy on the ears, and if my ears aren’t deceiving me, he can probably R&B with the best of them. Simon was wrong about one thing: the first thing I said when he performed was “Look! He’s dancing!” It’s not often that you see contestants who are willing to move on stage… like a real performer. He did something that none of the other contestants were willing to do. He did more than walk the stage and point. He busted a move a time or two, which was a very pleasing change. Can I just state for the record that judges are as confusing as I’ll get out? First they make everyone sing Michael Jackson songs and then proceed to tell certain contestants that some songs should never be sung because they solely belong to “him”. Poor Anoop. I thought he did a great job tackling a huge song. He was entertaining. He was audacious. He seemed himself. He was attacked unfairly, especially since PYT and Dirty Diana are MJ trademarks. Then they chastise Scott for picking a Michael Jackson song that “most people don’t realize is a Michael Jackson song.” Not only did Scott perform it exceptionally well, he made the audience feel as if it were HIS song. If the judges feel that certain songs are untouchable, then they should hand out a list of songs that the contestants can’t sing. Otherwise, a song is a song and they are all fair game. Also, the judges have to learn how to judge the contestant and song for the night, not just compare them to the original. That’s what fair judging should be like at this stage, otherwise NONE of them would be able to make it to the end… except maybe Danny Gokey. And here’s my other side notes: Adam Lambert seems like a nice guy and he has great stage presence. But does anyone else feel as if they are hearing a lead singer from an 80’s rock band like Poison, Scorpion or White Snake. I mean look at him! He even dresses like them. I can’t shake the feeling that the songs he would produce would be screeching like last night. He has talent, I’ll give him that. Unfortunately, I see it as very one dimensional. Meghan Corkey shouldn’t even be on that stage. I’ll give you that she is her own singer and that she has guts, but I would never pay to hear her vocals. She’s cute, but cute doesn’t cut it when it’s the sounds that count. I can’t believe she was in the top 13, to be quite honest. If she gets any further, someone has got to tell her to stop the corkscrew dancing too. It’s ridiculous. Go Danny Gokey!

Seriously. It is annoying. 'Noop Dog.. you slid right through. Bring your game next week, love. Danny - I *heart* you!!! You are my early favorite. Kris - You rocked that guitar. Memorable for sure. Lil - You've got some great pipes. I like you ALOT. Adam - You rocked that song, but I must admit the black nail polish is a little over the top. And the hair. Please get the hair out of your face. Allison - I think someone should have screened your song choice girlfriend. Shame on your mama for not putting her foot down. Matt - LOVED YOU! Scott - You can really rock the keyboard. I'm pulling for you. MJ week rocked! I loved it. Just glad he didn't show up. That might have been weird. Oh Megan.. please hold on to the microphone and stop. the. weird. dancing. moves. Seriously.
