I didn't dislike Alexis, but didn't like her much, either. Neutral, I guess, so I wasn't really disappointed, but sorry to those who liked her. I think there are a few others who should have left before her. Adam was horrible last night, but he's never going home. Image

I have a theory here....im thinking Judges did not save Alexis last night because the top 10 go on tour and next week they have to eliminate 2 if they saved her...Thus it would not be fair to one of them....Think?

Bottom three: Scott, Megan, and Michael Pretty much ones that stunk last night. . . though they rated Lil and Danny a little high . . .Matt, Kris and Anoop were better than them, IMO. . .

I was sad to see Michael go (local boy & I liked him), but I knew he wasn't going to win it all. He was definitely not the worst one last night, though.

I found the judges deliberation at the end to be totally pointless. They were never going to save Michael(and shouldn't have) and I wish they'd stop the dramatics and "fake debate" about it.

My thoughts exactly!!! Matt deserved to be in the bottom three like I need another pound added to my body!!! That is my biggest problem with AI-the voting process isn't always "fair" since some of the contestants or their friends and family go out of their way to make voting sites etc. That is how Ruben Studdard won season 2.

They were right when they said that Michael was a class act. I really liked him but he needed to go.

David, I'm with you, I LOVE Allison and really think Adam is talented. He reminds me so much of Prince.

My daughter wanted me to watch. Strictly based on cute factor, I like Allison.



Not enough that I'd ever call in to vote or anything.


I usually get my fix of Paula appearing intoxicated while watching 'Talk Soup'.

Yup, though I love his voice. If only he went (or will go the way of) Luther Vandross musically. He really has that potential.

Look at Chris Dougherty. He was voted off WAYYYY too early. Luckily, he's a big success on his own. It's all about marketing and I don't think RCA really does a good job marketing their contestants.

Adam also reminds me a little bit of Steve Tyler of Aerosmith - his flamboyancy, and Prince, most definately. He's going to have a solid career one way or another.
