"The Adam Lambert Show"

... that the DVR watchers of America didn't even get to see last night! Idol and I are going through a rocky time (and with the chance of Kris going home tonight things are about to get a whole lot rockier!)

Last night was a poor showing for our Idol contestants, yet two contestant were still PIMPED to high heavens...

1. Danny opened the show with a crappy arrangement of "Stand By Me"... his vocals were okay, but his rendition sucked all the joy out of the song! Once again the judges praised his mediocre talent... Danny is SAFE!

2. Kris (for some reason) thought since singing from the crowd worked so well for Matt (NOT), he try it too! I actually thought "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" was a cool song choice for Kris and showed a little more "swagger" as Simon calls it, but the arrangement was a bit off and he got lost in the swaybots! Kris could potentially leave the show tonight (yep, before "Vanilla" MacIntyre, "Twelve riffs too many" Matt and CRAPPYCRAPPY Lil)... NOT SAFE
**If anyone deserves that "SAVE"... I've got some pretty convincing arguments for Kris! He's current, he's commercial, he's consistent... apparently they all start with "c"**

3. Lil chose to impersonate Tina Turner this week with "What's Love Got to Do With It"... not as train-wrecky as last week, but who wants to hear second (or third as Simon pointed out) rate performance of anyone? Probably still SAFE, but I'd love to see her annoying butt in the Bottom 3!

4. Noop Dawg has a stellar voice which he showed on "True Color", but he needs to figure out how to perform and sing... probably hitting the bottom 3 again this week... NOT SAFE (love Anoop, but if it's between him and Kris tonight... Noop Dawg deserves his ticket home)

5. Scotty picked the one song I've never heard... EVER (I don't even remember what it was called...) and then played the electric guitar? Oh man, if there is any justice in the Idol universe Scott with get his walking papers tonight. NOT SAFE

6. Allison gave one of the better performance on a crappy night, but I still didn't think her version of "I Can't Make You Love Me" was a crazy hot as the judges did! Maybe I was just bored stiff by the point in the evening?!? She doesn't belong in the bottom 3... SAFE

7. Matt redeemed "Part-time Lover" from Kevin Covias season 5 performance, but once again I didn't find it nearly as stellar as the Judges did (I liked Nikko's season 4 performance better). The kid just beats every song to death with his "riffs and runs"... let well enough alone Matt... please! SAFE (could possibly slip into the bottom 3 again)

8. Glambert boy did he earn his nickname tonight.... his take on "Mad World" (which he apparently pilfered from some one else) was almost as OTT as Simon's dramatic standing ovation (which he's never given in my Idol recollection)! The singing was mildly restrained for Adam (and I kind of enjoyed that), but the outfit & the lighting... goodness me I thought I stumbled into some Caberet lounge act! Plus... he totally botched the last note! But even without half of America seeing him sing he's still 100% SAFE!
**Conspiracy theorist this Adam getting cut off was deliberate to either entice 'Fringe' veiwers into maybe checking out Idol... or to add more Idol buzz for Adam! Either way... he is the CHOSEN ONE and this season already got it's forgone conclusion!**

Bottom 3? Combination of Noop, Kris, Matt or Scott
Who should GO? Scott
Who could GO? Kris
Who deserves that gosh darn SAVE more than anyone in this competition? Kris... here's hoping he gets it!

What song do you think the kid's will sing to tonight? (Are the honestly soooo busy they have enough time to record the track they lip synch to, but not to rehearse singing it live?)
