Dude.... Adam Lambert was amazing tonight.

Anoop, Matt Giraud, Lil, & Iraheta all performed well.

Gokey floated. Kris was ok....*shrugging*

Scott, Megan, & Michael..... Sucked.

I agree totally. Megan was once again the worst one as she has been every week so far. I swear, she's so bad it actually makes me angry to watch her perform. She's unreal bad.

Adam was phenomenal, the season is over IMO. It's just a race for 2nd place and right now the 2nd best is Allison.

Sarver wasn't a bad choice to get eliminated, but it absolutely escapes me how Megan was not in the bottom 3. Every week she sings worse and worse and she's safe every week.

Clearly the contest is more about looks then it is talent. Which makes it even more baffling that Alexis is gone since she had both.

Matt was the surprise.....

I think the judges would have saved him if he was eliminated.


Sarver.... Blind Dude.... and Megan are all about the same to me. My guess is that they will all go in order, then the others will fight it out.

Sorry to see Michael go so quickly. But he was not top 5 material, so probably irrelevent.

Megan and Scott need to go next

Anoop or Megan will be leaving tomorrow.

Kris Allen was awesome. For me the best of the night.

That Adam guy is beyond irritating when he does the screamy style of performance. And yet I'd put him in the 2nd slot tonight.

WTF Matt?! That guy is so much better than this Coldplay/Fray stuff. When I checked out the theme the Apologize song was something I hoped he do. Wouldn't be surprised if he's bottom 3 again with this being the final appearance out of him.

Everybody else was very average IMO. Dead wife guy, Lil Rounds, blind guy, and husky voiced girl all middle of the road for me.

Kris and Adam were at the top.

I just don't get the deadwifeguy love. I thought he screamed, was off pitch, and was only behind Tattooblonde and Anoop for suckiness.

It will be interesting to see if VoteForTheWorst.com can save Megan again this week, I have to say I doubt it. As usual, she was terrible and completely undeserving of being in the top 20, let alone the top 9. Anoop was also abysmal and might get the boot, either would really deserve it.

Adam Lambert, as good as he is, is annoying when he does all that crappy screeching stuff. It's not 1987 anymore Adam and you're not in Quiet Riot, so let it go and just sing will ya?

Wife and I were hoping he'd trump a GnR song as well.

Scotty the Body is irritating to me. He sounds flat and sings the same type of song over and over again.

Megan deserves to go. Her looks were not on either last night.

it looks like they are working with adam - at least now when he screeches he keeps his eyes from bulging out and tongue in his mouth

megan and anoop were bad

piano guy with the fray song sounded great, imo - then again, i will admit to liking the fray and that general sound

scott has a real hard time moving between notes and often goes really flat ...... it's almost like he's searching where to land - although last night was one of his better ones so I wouldn't be opposed to him staying for another week

Adam and Gokey are really way ahead of the others vocally not really even close. And thought the last guy was ok but they gushed like he did something great kinda ridiculous really not like he changed the song much just sounded ok. Blind guy just can't sing in the same league with everyone else, megan had terrible performance, Matt well I liked it but it did come across as a karaoke type performance, young girl was just bad she was yelling instead of singing!

Finally.. one of the worst singers ever on this show gets eliminated.

I really wish someone would find a way to shut down that votefortheworst site, they were the only reason that Megan made it as far as she did.

She seems like a nice enough person, but she is really not one of the best singers and shouldn't have been top 9.

I really think Randy gave Anoop some HORRIBLE advice.

The guy has a world class R&B voice but these up tempo songs make him horrible.

He and Giraud need slow ballads, or some mid tempo stuff. Brian McKnight, Joe, Maxwell, Al Greene, Sam Cooke, etc....

C'mon dudes! Get your heads out of your arses!

Fortunately I DVR Fringe so I got to see the Adam Lambert performance of Mad World (I think that's the song title) and Simon's standing ovation! Never seen him do that before. F'n brilliant that performance was. He stayed controlled and did none of that screamy stuff.

This performance and the Smokey Robinson song were by far the best performances of the year.

Anoop, Matt, and Allison were very good as well.

Lil Rounds is my guess for who is going home. But blind guy should be the one to go.

Kris Allen and dead wife guy weren't that good IMO and I could see Allen in the bottom 3 with blind guy and Lil Rounds.

Scott was the worst, by far.

Most of the rest were pretty good.

I think Adam could win it all. He reminds me a little of David cook. I also think Alison could win it all. They seem to like to promote the young artists. I like Danny and matt but I dont think they can win. I think LIl cant really win it either. I thought she would do much better than shes doing now. I no for some reason the fans dont like Scott but he is one of my dark horses after Adam and Alison. Kris is good but I dont think he can win it all I could be wrong. I actually dont see what the judges see in anoop . I dont like him that much.

The "competition" is for 2nd place. The winner is Adam Lambert, it's been over for weeks. I will go so far as to say that no one on that show has even a slight chance to win over Adam. It's a battle for #2, it has been for a while.

cant see why people dont like scott. I think hes better than Danny Matt Lil and Kris and Anoop. Just dont get it. As for Adam winning its not a done deal. I mean why have the rest of the shows. I mean lets just say the yankees win the world series because on paper there the best team and the rest of the way is for second. Nothings over until its over. After saying that dont get me wrong I am a big fan of Adams and wouldnt mind if he won at all!

Scott sings off key, is nasally and picks terrible songs. He is a great inspiration and his story is pretty cool, but he was the worst of the last 8.
