I'm actually having a hard time imagining Adam singing either one of those songs. I don't think "Wicked Game" suits him at all. I need to get myself ready to do my Kris voting. |

I was just about to say the same thing LOL. Danny's choice and the judge's choice for him are so Taylor Hicks-like LOL. My God! I'm prepared for the impending awfulness that is about to come LOL. I like both Adam's choices too and it sounds like he is going to go with the U2 song since we know that was one of the options and Paula hinted that U2 will be in play tonight. "Wicked Games" is cool but I really think Adam could have a moment with "One." Some of my favorite performances of his and some of his most widely praised performances have been on songs like that. He can really do a nice, soft, vulnerable ballad with it or he can just sing it as is and let his voice make it his own. I like the choice for Kris too. The only thing I hate is how the judges complain about the same songs being sung over and over yet they give Kris "Apologize" which was sung last year by David Archuleta in the finale and they constantly suggest songs that are always sung on the show. More double standards! Anyway, Kris could have a moment with that song, especially if he does it with guitar. Regardless of how Kris does tonight, it's all going to come down to fans voting for him. He could be fantastic tonight and if he don't get enough votes to overcome Danny, he will be gone. In a way, maybe it would be better if he got thrown completely under the bus tonight so his fans would come out in droves. I don't think they judges want that. They did that last week and he stayed. I think they are going to set Kris up for a big night and overpraise in him in hopes that his fans don't vote as much and then maybe they will be tougher on Danny to scare his fans into voting more for him. I think that is their strategy. I guess we know the answer to how they worked with having 4 judges and only 3 contestants. They stuck Kara and Randy together on selecting for Kris. I wonder if either Kara or Randy had an issue with that since Paula and Simon got to act on their own. I would've much preferred Kara acting on her own then Paula. They should've just stuck Paula with Randy. Oh well, Most of the time the judges suck at song choice anyway even if there is no manipulation involved LOL. I can''t wait for tonight though!

One of my favorite songs by them..... Now a days they are a band I may listen to but seeing their smug faces on TV makes me crazy, well really it's Bono and "The Edge" that make me kinda ill...... |

Mary J Blige does a version of "One" also, and performed it with Elliot Yamin as part of the finale in season five. One was the big U2 hit of the 90s. It was never done in AI competition, same with Apologize as Archie did the duet during the finale after the votes were counted. Danny Gokey's song never heard of it before the announcement that Paula chose it. At least no one got "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". The train wreck contestants coming back is typical...even though Tati was beyond emotional at least she had some vocal ability. |

Your right. Neither song was actually sung in the competition. I just think it's strange that they picked both songs after Cook sang a U2 song in the finale last year and Archie did sing it last year, even if it was in the finale. Plus, they've been trying to pawn "Apologize" off on Matt Giraud all season, saying that song was perfect for him. It just points out the hypocrisy of the judges because they complain when the same songs are sung but they keep suggesting the same songs. I'm shocked "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" was not chosen because that seems to be another one of those they always pick out but I bet if Danny is in the finale, we may see Clive (and I'm assuming Clive will be in the finale) select it for him. He picked it out for Archuleta last year in the finale and also picked it out for Bo in season 4's top 3. He picks out the same sort of stuff over and over too. |

Song spoilers! Contestant choices: Danny Gokey - “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker - He changed clothes. He’s got a string quartet. “Breathy, strained and awkward.” “It started off syrupy then he “took it to church” at the end. Kris Allen - “Heartless” by Kanye West - “He appeared magically on the side of the stage…just him and acoustic guitar. very mraz. very very good. definitely could create a moment.” Kris broke a string on his guitar. Adam Lambert - “Cryin” by Aerosmith - “Adam is looking “bombalicious, big boots, rocking rhinestone t-shirt, leather jacket…” http://mjsbigblog.com/ |

I can't believe Kris picked a Kanye West song. I HATE him and his music. |

OMG! LMAO! I love how they said Kris is so much less of a deuschbag then Danny :laugh: They make a point about Kris. He did look defeated but, like them, I hope being saved gives him his fire back. I also like how they already assumed he will get thrown under the bus again this week LOL. I did like what they suggested for Kris. If he pulled a Bo Bice and went a capella without the band, that may be a great moment. The band can screw up up at times too. Loved the little snippets of Alison. Looks like they wined and dined her LOL. I also love how they say things like "no one puts the rocker in an office" LOL. I don't agree with the Kara bashing as I feel she is the only one that is not really into the whole agenda pushing thing but I did find it funny how they said she was texting Matt and wanting to write songs for him LOL. She loved him. |

Wow that could be a moment for Kris. Never would've expected that song choice for him. Adam is going to rock tonight based on the choices we now know of. |

Okay, after the song, all that chaos with Paula/Simon and then not cutting to commercial on time was just hilarious! :P |

Wow...300th episode, eh? Time sure does fly. That is quite the accomplishment. I really wish Randy would stop booing Simon. That is so old. Boy, can I sense the tension between the 3 guys LOL. There is Danny with that smug smile. How did I guess they would shove Kris right in the middle of Danny and Adam? The sabotage begins. Nice tease, Ryan. Mentioning the topless girl that went after Adam LOL. That would normally make people anxious for tomorrow but most of American has already seen it this weekend :laugh: . Well, I can see why Paula picked that song and surprisingly she sounded competent explaining why. She really has been better this season. What was with Ryan flirting with Paula a little bit? Danny's performance was very awkward and the vocals were hit or miss, as usual. Yet again, the judges praise it except Kara and Simon, even though they both really didn't bash him. What was with Paula's I'm a choreographer and I thought you did well" line" As if that makes her an authority on the subject LOL. The dancing was horrid. It made Taylor Hicks look like Britney Spears LOL. LMAO to Simon holding his hand over Paula's mouth and to her punching him in the left breast. I see the judge's buffoonery is back but, I have to admit, that was pretty funny and Danny seemed pissed because all the attention was on that and not him. The contestants have already said they hate when the judge's screw around like that while they are standing on stage though so I can see why Danny would be made, even if I suspect he's more upset because the attention is not on him. I hate how the past few weeks he's been trying to explain everything. He sounds just like Lil. Just say "I had fun" and move on. I don't need 5 minutes on the fun of dancing and how Danny Gokey shakes off the nerves. |

I agree. Hilarious! Normally, I hate it but it's been a few weeks since we've had stuff like that and they do have time tonight. I just hate how it makes the contestants feel but, since it's Gokey, who cares LOL. It made that segment tolerable. Edited by PhoenixRising05, May 12 2009, 07:16 PM.
