TV: AI8 Top Three

So the judges are now so desperate to have Adam in the finals that Simon pretty much calls out the voters and says they had BETTER vote him in? What if the majority of America doesn’t vote for him? That means THEY DON’T WANT HIM. Yes, it’s a singing competition, but it’s also a popularity contest. Gimme a break, Simon.

Danny “Dream Little Sister” – What a weird song choice. I was telling Denis last night that the song ARTIST choice was a good one (I liked Terrance Trent D’Arby) but I agree that there were better songs to pick, like “Wishing Well” or “Sign Your Name.” Not this non-hit from a pretty decent album (I owned it at one point).

Kris “Apologize” – I thought this was a GREAT song pick for Kris, and he did a nice job. I wish he hadn’t played piano so he could connect with the audience more, but it was still good. Oh, and Kara? You suck.

Adam “One” – Okay, so Simon has the suck up moment of the night claiming that he spoke with Bono, who gave his blessing over Adam’s performance. *hurl* I’m not venomously anti-Adam – I’ve downloaded four of his performances this season. So I’m not in the ABA camp (that stands for “Anybody but Adam”). But – when he stinks, he stinks. And this was NOT a good performance. He was all over the map and rarely stayed on whatever tune he decided to use (because it certainly wasn’t Bono’s).

Danny “You Are So Beautiful” – I love this song, but I’ll admit that we fast-forwarded through this performance because we’re just not Danny fans. Even if he’s singing a song we love.

Kris “Heartless” – Yay, Kris! FINALLY, he sang a song where we could actually hear his guitar. It took the whole season, but YAY! He did a great job with this one, and I’ll probably download this song.

Adam “Cryin’” – As I read elsewhere, do you think he picked an Aerosmith song so he could stick it to Danny after D’s atrocious “Dream On” last week? Heh – points to Adam if he did. But points taken away because once again this was terrible. I don’t like screechy Adam at all.

**SPOILERS BELOW**

DialIdol shows some interesting stats. They show that Adam had 29% of the votes, that Kris had 27.9% of the votes, and Danny had 27.1% of the votes. I personally voted for Kris about 100 times between texting and calling. I really want Kris in the finals, not Danny. So despite not voting the entire season, last night was the night to get my fingers walking.

As for the close percentages it shows us a couple things: 1) Adam isn’t as popular as people make him out to be which means that 2) whoever his competitor is DOES have a good chance because I think the fans of whoever goes out tonight are more likely to vote for the remaining non-Adam contender.

So GO KRIS!!!!
