My apologies for not embedding. It's everywhere by now, though, so just check out MJ's blog. It's fantastic anyways. Go ahead and watch the others, but watch Adam's first.

First of all, the song Adam chose this week was just perfect. Mad World... I've never been in love with the

I won't lie - I hope that Kris is saved because I'll be severely bummed if he goes before Lil & Scott. I think the three of them will be the bottom 3.

LOVED Adam last night. Just LOVED HIM. Agree with the emotional part - I think that's why I'm so invested in both Groban and David Cook -- David sings with so much emotion its hard NOT to like him, yk?

Adam is hard not to love. ;)

I can't see Kris going before Scott. OUCH. That would be ridiculous. Scott needs to go. The pity party is over. And Lil...she keeps promising to bring it and never does. How many chances do we have to give her?

I know what you mean when you say "spooked." I felt a bit like that too. He seemed rattled. Whether it was the awful timing of the show (I mean, really. I can get a whole group of middle school kids to have perfect timing. What kind of amateur is directing Idol this year? At the very least they need a time limit on the judges, Oscar playoff music, SOMETHING... so that they don't take a full hour on Lil's critique and leave nothing for the genius that is Adam) or if it was a combination of many others, it wasn't quite the confident Adam I'm used to. Of course I love him more for being human. Goodness knows I have my little routines and procedures before I perform and if I don't have time for them, I never feel my best.

And if 19 steals his soul, he won't be the only one dying inside. We're all aware that there's a true, unique artist in there. Hurting one of us hurts us all, to sound cheesy about it. If he's not allowed to be himself, and comes off as disingenuous, everyone loses.

Going to check out your blog now. ;)

i for one liked kris' song last night. no one else in the house did, but hey, i'm ever the nonconformist. i agree that if he's the cut, they should save him. scott should really go now. as much as i enjoy him, he's not the same caliber of performer as the rest of them. and i've never really been a fan of lil. she's never truly impressed me because i've heard her before, if you catch my drift. the results should be interesting to say the least!

I totally catch your drift. She keeps saying she'll bring it. Later. Soon. The time has passed.

I hope Kris is safe or saved tonight. I'd love to see a top 3 of Adam, Allison, and Kris.
