Adam rocked what has to be one of the hardest songs in the world to sing. No one can top this performance.
A teething baby can.

Even though I'm really not an AI fan (and I doubt that any of them will end up with anything even remotely resembling a music career), Adam should win since he's clearly the best one.

I was shocked they acknowledged the accident but, then again, they kind of had to with one of the towers a mess. They didn't mention Debbie though. Hope she is ok.

Slash seems ok so far. I like him wanting to work with the contestants in a club and around the band on the stage to make it more rock and roll. It's different and could help alot.

Adam...AWESOME!!

It's rock week so I feel the screeching is allowed and works. I never would've thought he would sing Led Zeppelin. I wanted him to sing Queen but whatever. He said he loves Zeppelin so cool for him. Did not like the outfit and hair but it's about the performance and it's going to be hard to top a performance that authentic and memorable.

I hate that Alison is second again. God, why can't be last? I guess it may be a good thing since her and Adam may end up dueting last or something or, if she makes it through this week, this means she can get the last slot next week, which she may need to make it into the finals.

But that's all he does. He's a one trick pony. Not a single performance of his hasn't included some sort of screaming or ridiculous vocal theatrics, LoL.

OMG. Work it, Allison!

She looks great tonight. Rocking the stage. Her voice is strong! Love the attitude, the sass. Awesome!

The judges didn't like it. Surprise, surprise.

I hope their bashing of her will just inspire her fanbase to vote even harder than usual. It'd be awesome of Gokey went home this week and both Allison/Kris stayed. :)

I still think he is a fake rocker. All he is doing an impersonation of a bunch of rockers.

They didn't say they didn't like her. They just didn't like the song and I agree.

She was awesome. She made it work but there were better songs. She did look great. Adam's hairstylist did better on her then she did on him. I love Alison's longer hair.

I was glad Kara commented on Alison's personality. She has personality, most of which comes out in her performance. I also loved her feisty side tonight. She didn't talk back like Anoop and Lil have at some points (which is not a good idea because it can send you home). She playfully turned everything on Simon, saying he wanted her to show personalty and talk more and now she is. I loved her getting in fighting stance and just joking around. She was right too. Kara and Simon were suggesting songs that would be too safe and/or have been done numerous times before. I do think she should've went with another song (Joplin is good for her but maybe another Joplin song perhaps) but the judges' suggestions were not the way to go.

Excellent rock performance by Adam and Alison.

I bet Danny and Kris are going to fall hard tonight.

That isn't all he does.

I'm not HUGE on him but he does do more then that. He's just too over the top at times.

Kris has to duet with HOKEY GOKEY? Ugh! I wanted him to sing with Allison.

This means Allison's being screwed as Adam's duet partner.

Kennypoo, Allison being Adam's duet partner pretty much guarantees her spot in the final three IMO

I totally disagree with Randy--I didn't think Renegade worked as a duet with these two in particular. I think I would have liked either one of them individually singing the whole song through, but the two of them didn't blend. I disagree with Simon too--Kris was better than Danny, IMO. I liked it ok overall though.

Oh, big surprise. Simon thinks Danny was better than Kris. Danny could've come out and shit on a plate and Simon would've praised it for the simple fact that he's the Chosen One #2.

Yeah I think it would have worked for either on their own. Although I thought they did a good job on the harmonies at the beginning. Kris was better.

Not necessarily.

I can hear it already.

"Adam, you were amazing. Allison, I could barely hear you. This duet shows just how weak your voice is in comparison to some of the other people this season. If I were you, I'd be worried."

The judges were spot on with the boys' duet. Their harmonies were fantastic, but their solo parts were horrid. Poor Kris was flat in multiple places (as was Danny, but not as badly) and both were missing notes all over the place in their solo parts. Also, both of them really need to work on their breath control for phrasing purposes.

I agree.

She won't be forgotten and maybe his fans will vote for her by extension.

They are really throwing Danny and Kris under the bus tonight. They stick their duet in the middle of the show and both of them have their solos coming right after this, which means Adam and Alison get the pimp slot. I'm telling you, I really do think this show is aiming for Adam/Alison now. The tide seems to have turned.

I don't think Danny and Kris's duet worked at all. Randy was right that the harmonies were ok. When they sang together it worked but, individually, it blew. Danny was ok when he could use his upper register, which is his bread and butter, but Kris was just a mess. Maybe it's true he couldn't hear himself, for which I can understand, but still. Kris's voice just isn't suited at all for this. Danny has his upper register. Kris doesn't have that.

The judges seem to think it wasn't all that good either. They seemed to struggle over what to say, except Paula as usual. I hated Simon joking around and then saying that Danny was better. That may be true but that was too awkward for Kris and I don't think you should single people out during duets. Leave it to Danny to act all smug after the duet too. Of course, Simon stroked that ego with his saying Danny was better.

So I have to wonder if Simon is using his reverse psychology again with Kris. He was pretty short with saying Danny was better.

And how come Kris and Danny have to do their duet then have to come out for solos. Duets should have been at the end like DWTS does when they have group dances. Everyone gives their performance and then the group dances are at the end.
