Hey, Idoloonies, it’s 8 p.m., do you know where your telephone/cellphone/portable texting device is? Because — yes, yes, y’all! — it’s about that time. To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme. Top three performance night is underway, and this PopWatch post will serve as a place where you can chat without prejudice. I’ll be back at 9 p.m.-ish to share my initial impressions, then again in early morning with my full TV Watch recap. Until then, an Idol-centric rap tune for ya!
What up crazy texters?
This is Idol Americano
Tonight we’ve got three
But next week it’s ‘gon be mano-a-mano
Kris brings the strumming

wake me when danny is done zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Of course they would praise him…. Blah de Blahhhhh . It was okay but the scat part sucked. THANK YOU KARA for that comment! suck it paula… good song choice for him i guess. GO Kris and Adam!!!!
DANNY SUCKS PUT THE GO IN GOKEY
That sax player is going to seek out a restraining order against GOkey’s scatting.
He shouted. Usually, they yell at the shouters, but Danny can do no wrong.
Drink the Gokey kool-aid masses. Drink the Gokey kool-aid. In my head, Allison is rocking out right now and Gokey no longer exists.
stop yelling, Gokey!
Slezak: Do we know why Danny’s wedding ring is gone? It has been on every week but this week. Love Idolatry!!!
he always sounds the same regardless of the song! they want a danny/adam finale
I’ve never noticed how big Gokey’s head is or is Ryan’s just small……..
that paula/simon crap is why this always runs over into Fringe.
ugh, Danny’s singing and dancing were awful.
Put the go in gokey
Of course Paula picks something that isn’t technically challenging. His doo-doo-doot scats were pathetic.
No slow build. Just yelling.
Can someone post the text vote numbers for kris and adam when they show?? My satellite dish is broken!! Ugh so upset
Why are the judges still praising this guy? His scatting was awful.. he’s dancing pathetic and he sounded the same!!!!! Send him home already!!
Wow, did Simon and Kara actually say criticize (sp?) Gokey? Wow, thats a first
“That was dope for me dude.”
text vote for kris: 5702
Now there’s someone who’s musical. Such beautiful tones in his voice!
why is kris singing the song in such a straight forward manner? It sounds too much like the original which was just released so it invites comparisons. at least dannys song was older so its harder for people to remember/compare
The music was too loud, but I love him regardless.
Yea, Kris! Well done, though they were trying to sabotage him with a big song.
Sooo, did anyone else notice Kris’ one blue-painted thumbnail during the ‘Contestants Go Home & Receive Totally Fake Texts’ segment? The only nail painted was his thumb, and it was bright blue…
Yikes who applied Kara’s makeup tonight?
*Insert random Kristen Baldwin nickname for Ms. DioGuardi*
Oh, and my pick for Best Ry-Ry quote EVER: “Oh, and by the way, that’s second base, or harassment. I don’t know what that is.” -about Simon dragging Paula into his lap to shut her up.
I dislike these judges intensely….they praised Danny and then knock Kris. Danny didn’t interpret his song????
competent? boo kara! kris! kris! kris! go simon! get kara!
Apparently Kris is supposed to have read Kara and Randy’s minds.
