  Wow! giving away the idol secrets! that’s cool to know that Kelly and Carrie have always been about #1 in votes- kinda represents how well they do in the real world.. I’m thinking for Archie and Cook that they kept switching back and forth. I would love to know what the exact rankings were every week- they don’t need to give away the numbers- and they can do it after the finale.

  Simon leaves, the show is done. Of course Nigel will say that.

  He didn’t even mention Kris – pout. How does he mention Danny and not Kris?

  Yes, that’s right. Allison comes to mind, of course. She’s brilliant. SAVE THE ROCKER, people! And I agree with his comment on Adam. He needs not to belt out that massive voice each week. If he wins Idol, then fine. But I honestly think he’ll do well whether or not he wins. He’s the perfect Freddy Mercury from Queen. It’s why I’ve never really been an Adam supporter. I want an undiscovered, authentic, new talent. Give the others a chance. For now Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta are in my top spot.

  Finally someone gets it right. Are you paying attention Slezak? Right on Allison. Right on Adam (who is brilliant and needs to stop screaming) and right on Danny (a good singer, probably better liked by other singers.) Let’s see who did Nigel intelligently leave off the list? Hmmm. Four contestants, one not mentioned. Oh yeah, Kris. Tells you something. Nigel’s right. 1) Allison, 2) Adam (stop screaming), 3) Danny, 4) Bye-bye Kris.

  I found it interesting that Nigel said he was not a fan of “the four judge” thing on Idol because it eats up too much show time from other things. Does So You Think You Can Dance NOT have 4 judges always?! Just curious.

  Adam definately needs to stop screaming…and needs to keep his tongue in his mouth while on stage. I find that find almost as disturbing as the screaming!!!

  That clip of Adam was not flattering. And he sounds nothing like Freddy. I am a big Adam fan, but please stop trying to find a comparison. And Adam, can we have on week without the tongue flap screech.

  Should have said “while performing on stage.” He has the makings of another Elvis with the right management. What do you guys think?

  I have been over Adam since Hollywood to be honest. I liked him at first but all he does is scream, sick of it and his nasty self, and I think America is too by results the other night. I hope it is Allison and Danny. I believe DANNY should win.

  Can we go a day without hearing about a A.I. judge leaving the show? Simon, Kara, Paula…all are “reported” leaving.
