Wow the girl with the tats that sang the Corinne Bailey Rae song was horrible. Why did she pronounce the words in the song so weird? I don't get why the judges liked her.

girl with the tat seemed to shake with tiny seizures while singing which annoyed me. last dude has the chops to beat them all on that night, regardless of his style.

i'm finding myself a heart fan lately, too. she sang it well, altho apparently she spends most of her days and thoughts... in a room.

Normund Gentle was the greatest performance on AI EVER! EVER! The karate kick to Simon was classic. Comedian/Singer/Ninja, you can't ask for more out of a contestant.

Whew! Thanks for letting me know, because I was really thinking of making a career change! Now I guess I can give up on THAT dream.

Maybe it "wasn't the right song for her" but I didn't like that girl's performance at all, especially compared to the way Corinne Bailey Rae sings it. She also had this weird way of saying "down" which drove me nuts, and the odd shimmying was off putting.

And that guy? Even Simon said parts of that song were flat horrible. More often than not during his performance he sounded like an actor doing a theater performance, which he would be great at (and what he apparently already does). He didn't sound like a good rock n roll singer, which is what he is trying to be.

My favorites last night:

Allison (dyed red-head) - Did a good job and picked a good song, but the song sounded like it was just a bit too big for her (wife didn't think she had enough breath support towards the end).
Megan Joy - Hot looking, great voice, decent job on the song. I think she's unique and talented enough to make the top 12.
Kris - Surprisingly didn't butcher a Michael Jackson song. The field of guys was pretty weak overall last night.
Adam - I hated the arrangement of Satisfaction, but he can definitely sing.
Jesse - My wife preferred her over Allison. I wasn't blown away by the song, but it was ok and I think her confidence in front of the judges afterward helped her.

No one really "wowed" me last night.

I agree, I think the 3 that go through are Jesse, Adam and Allison.

The rock chick (red head) and rock dude (emo) were awesome. I like the tattoo arm chick w/ a kid too. It's all about song selection. Most of the contestants totally failed at choosing the song that fits their image.

 

[shopbruin]

Overall:
Top guy: Adam Lambert
Top girl: Allison Iraheta
Third place: Megan Corkerey.
Wild Card Returnees: Really a lot of people tonight have a chance of coming back, except for Jeanine and Nick/Norman, but I think they'd pick Jasmine Murray because they are in love with her, Matt Giraud because of his voice, and Kris Allen.
Possible top 12 party crasher: Matt Breitzke. You just never know with America. Or Nick/Norman if Vote for the Worst redoubled their effort.

I just can't see Kris getting in, because I don't think he's had much airtime so no one knows him. It wasn't inspired. On the other hand, you know a lot about Megan, so she's developed a following, even though I didn't like the performance. Her movements are strange.

I am rooting for Norman and that 16 year old chick. The rest of them can disappear forever.

My picks:

Guy: Norm!!!
Girl:Allison

I'm rooting for him because he cracks me up! My entertainment > than some idol I'll never listen to. To date, only Kelly & Rubin have gotten any of my cash.

Why Normund Gentle Is The Greatest 'American Idol' Contestant Ever

If Norm wins that show would become the laughing stock of the century.

Norman looked absolutely ridiculously uncomfortable during that group song just now. He looks lost and confused.

Allison (the girl with the dyed red hair) MAKES it to the Top 12!!!
Jesse (sang 'Bette Davis Eyes') doesn't make it to the top 12.
Matt B. doesn't make it through to the top 12.

 

[Muadib]

That was the easy one.

Bah I thought Jesse might make it, one of my predictions is wrong and 1 right, so now I say Adam and Megan.

 

[Muadib]

Woah, didn't see that one.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Down to Megan (girl with the arm covered in tats) and Kris ('Man in the Mirror') now....
And then Matt G. ('Viva La Vida') and Jeanine (long legs who butchered 'This Love').

Only one of these will make it through.

Jeanine doesn't make it. Neither does Matt G. Neither does Megan.

Kris Allen makes it through to the Top 12.

 

[SmoochyTX]

I really thought Megan would wind up making it through.
