"Falling... not so slowly"

Randy and Paula were Captain and First Mate of the Nonsense Crew last night, but Simon and Kara weren't far below them in that pecking order either! All four were completely useless last night... I think I would have rather heard more from Quentin that this group! Plus anyone else think it's a coincidence that Simon/Paula reviewed Allison, Adam, Danny & Lil (the Pimp Squad) while the two best performance of the evening got pawned off on Dumb & Dumber? Nah, me either...

Enough of my rants... on with the show...

Allison was a full on mess last night! "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" was quite a misstep and not just because DC rocked it last year! The vocal was okay in part, dreadful in others but my biggest issues is the girl enunciation! I couldn't understand her half the time (and I actually know the word) Who knows if she'll land in the bottom 3, but with Miley Cyrus pimpin' her out she should be SAFE! (if she's not... I could see the Judges Save in her future!)
*Paula's nonsense #1: Allison is full of "special sauce"... I think Ms. Abdul's been hitting the "special" sauce... if you know what I mean!!

Noop Dawg really does have a stellar voice! He kicked in up a notch on "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" and gave a quality performance and definitely one of the best vocals of the evening! But going second, having Randy & Kara, and past performance may land him in the bottom 3 and ultimately NOT SAFE! If Anoop's around next week I'd love to see him strip a song down even more... pull a Bo and go acapella!

Glambert was back in full force tonight with "Born to Be Wild"... some much theatrics... I seriously couldn't stomach listening to most of it! Simon tried to reign him in again, but I just don't see it working... oh well Adam's SAFE... blah, blah, blah!
Paula nonsense #2: "dancing on the path of greatness"... seriously what is she on?

Matt... I don't really ever remember Matt after he sings! The piano playing on "Have You Really Ever Loved A Woman" was good... the vocals were not! I'm bored with Kara's obsession of Rock v. Soul... the song last night was neither! Kid's so NOT SAFE tonight (Lil should get the boot, but I feel Matt might be going in her place)

Danny doesn't have the vocal tenderness to pull off the beginning of "Endless Love", but once he gets to the heart of the song... I truly believe the guy (and I don't even like Danny)... dude has got to decided once and for all wear the wedding ring or let it go... comes off bad! Danny got a little critque from Simon tonight on arrangement, but he should still be SAFE!

Kris sings from the heart... no matter what song, what genre, what tempo... the kid sings from his soul! There's no act like Adam, Danny or Matt (to a degree)! There may have been some pitch issues in the beginning, but just like DC last year, I can look past those things and see the sincerity in his eyes! Kris got royally screwed by Randy (and Ryan, who finally decided to cut Kara off when she actually had something of quality to say)... if Kris is in the bottom 3 tonight I will lose faith in Idol! (he might have deserved it last week, but not tonight!) I'm NOT SURE of Kris fate...

Lil once again don't really remember her vocal on "The Rose" just her major attitude after! She gave in to a stereotype and it was very unbecoming! Lil deserve to go... but as one of two females left and the only "diva"... I just don't see it happening! Maybe another trip to the Bottom 3? NOT SAFE

Bottom 3: Matt, Kris, Anoop or Lil
Who Should Go? Lil
Who Will Go? Matt
Save? if some how Allison or Kris ends up on the chopping block I could see it!

Overall it was a pretty crappy night! I wonder if we'll have the typical 3 group split with the remaining contestant picking the safe group tonight? That always turns out fun!
