Top 5: One less in the pack now

dang... i really thought adam might go home... that would have made my night... it would have made my week

I think Matt is great!! Of the top 5 I would only consider buying an album from him or Alison. I'm sad that he's gone. I was hoping for a surprise upset tonight.

I was and still am a tad bit suprised although I do realize that the guys were going to cancel out each other eventually. Although I fully believe that Matt is a 10 times better singer then Kris. He is probably going to have a mediocre career, guys like Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake have paved the way for white boy soul singers. I thought maybe the Daughtery thing could have happenend again with Lambert although it was unlikely..I am sour for the plain fact that I think Matt was a far better singer then Kris, too bad the ladies don't think he is as attractive..

Geesh people. You all go out last night and not vote? NEVER assume your Idol is safe. Next Tuesday you need to vote for the two solid hours. The Gokey and Allison fans have whole communities voting for them, so we've got to do the same. All you younguns, rockers, baby-boomers and us grandmas, give two hours for the cause next Tuesday.

Kris should have went many weeks ago... so I can't believe Adam and Matt were even in the bottom two. Kris is annoying. Creepy facial expressions while he sings. He looks like he could be David Archuleta's big brother. I hate David Archuleta!

We will hear more from Matt. He has amazing talent.

Matt deserved to go home tonight. Don't predict a big career for him. He's a nice enough guy but very cookie-cutter. Didn't for a second think Adam was going home. Still, it was kind of cool watching him sweat a little.

Don't think Matt should have been saved, so am not suprised he went home tonight. Finally everyone got it right on Allison.
HUGE suprise /very wrong was Adam in the bottom two. Come on....you guy voters out there.......are you jealous?

Dial idol showed Adam and Goeky tied for first like every other week. You notice how Idol never tells us how many votes each person got. There is no way Adam was in the bottom three, it was all staged so we will keep talking and keep watching. Idol doesn't need to do these kinds of stupid things. As long as Adam is on I'll keep watching.

Too bad Adam didn't get the boot tonight. He could have joined the Rocky Horror Picture Show tomorrow. Well, maybe next week. I hope so.

O.K., so this was more stressful than a rockets game in double overtime. I might need a drink now.

Hard to believe Adam was in the bottom two. Think it was a stunt by Fox to get more votes next week since panicked Lambert fans will be sure to ramp it up. More votes, more viewers = higher revenue from advertisers. Seriously, are there more commercial breaks this year than ever before? It's downright distracting!

I was not surprised Matt was the one. I WAS surprised that Adam might be vulnerable. This may change the focus in next week.

Wished the show had clips of last night for each contestant.

I think Adam's fans figured that Adam was safe so they didn't bother to vote for him – let's not let that happen again next week. Adam is HOT!

Remember Tamyra Gray, Melinda Doolittle and Elliot Yamin? Better singers than Matt and where are they now? AI is still a hit and miss affair. There are no guarantees.

Geez, ok–you sound like a mean-spirited person. I believe the German term is "Schadenfreude"–taking pleasure in the misery of others. You need professional help.

Hopefully Lambert will be gone next week!!!! Matt was awesome tonight..can't wait to buy his album.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw Adam in the bottom two! For who is America voting? Let's face it the one that should have gone home was Kris. He was ousted by all the other contestants. I am sorry for Matt. He should have stayed another week. Girls let's get to the phones and vote ten times more than we have been voting for Adam!!!!!!! He is the AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Ryan say flat out that Matt and Adam got the least votes?

After hearing that next week will be Rock & Roll...I know I will be hitting the mute button when it's Adam's turn. Yes, he is talented and can sing, but his screaming has got to go. Even my 15 year old thinks so!

i think that adam should have left rather than Matt

I'm not surprised Matt's going home- I'm not so sure what his audience or future is, unless he comes out of the gates full speed ahead with a record producer. Unfortunately, I think he will be forgotten within a year or two if he doesn't.

Adam should have been the one to go home...I'm so sick of his cocky attitude and his tongue! Somebody should have told him Gene Simmons did that shtick already...

Wow what a night...shocked Adam ended up in the bottom 3 but think it was a stunt done by the show. I knew Matt would go home and I don't think they wasted the save...he's a good singer just had a hard night. This season is the best I have watched and believe the top 3 will be Danny, Allison and Adam. I think Kris is in trouble next week, he's cute but sometimes has some rough spots. I look forward to seeing if Jamie Fox is gonna use any of the American Idols on an album.

I'm not surprised that it is Matt's turn to leave.

i was so happy for a bit. now i know the whole AI is a set up.

Kris will NEVER make the charts. period!! Even if he wins, which would be a travesty, of course, but the votes are skewered anyways.

Yep, unbelievable is all I can say. I would have been some kind of upset if he went home. I don't think that Adam was actually in 4th place even though they made it look like it. A.I. just likes to create drama. Adam may not win A.I. in the end but one thing for sure even if he doesn't he has the best vocal ability of everyone on the show whether you like his style or not. I'll be voting for the full 2 hours next week...instead of just the wimpy 1 hour I voted this week.

Adam Lambert is the most talented contestant on American Idol ever. If he had gone home, I would never have watched the show again (and that is a strong statement considering I have never missed an episode in seven years). He literally takes my breath away with every performance.

It seems obvious to me that tonite was a rating ploy by FOX-what a predictable sick boredom. This is my first time following AI, and the only reason for it is Adam Lambert.

With the overall performance by Adam Tuesday night, there was NO WAY he was going home. He's by far, the very best...just a teaser to think he would be eliminated. AI tried to add some drama

Hey, Could anyone really stand watching Adam sing ? It's more
like a corny acting performance from Vegas. The howl comes out and kills everything. Matt was my favorite and one of the most contemporary.

Oh Please. It was obvious that Matt had to go. He sings Ok. But do we really need another Justin Timberlake wanna be. Lets think originality people! What I'm really surprised is Adam being in the bottom 2. Makes me wonder if these vote tallies are fixed just for publicity uproar.

My prediction for next week: Kris & Allison bottom 2. With Kris going home....

No shocker about Matt. But Adam gone? He's destined to be a superstar, while the rest are B-listers.

i'm not real sure if you're interested in my opinion. it's totally obvious who you're rooting for.

frankly, out of the five the only record i could see myself buying in the future is Matt.

Does anyone else feel manipulated tonight? Are we really supposed to believe that the best AI has (Adam, by any honest news or blog account of last night or the last few weeks) is on the same par with the one most reviewers and fans predicted would go home (Matt)?

Really? With a straight face? Even the Gokey fans?

I thought they only do the bottom 2 at this point, so at first I thought they just put Adam in the bottom 3 to shake things up. At this point, I also thought they only sent home the lowest vote-getter, and all others were safe in whatever order the producers decided would make a more suspenseful show. Does anyone know/remember how this works – was Adam actually the second lowest vote getter?

I almost erased all m scheduled DVR recordings of this show. Something tonight went terribly wrong. Only someone not honest with themselves, despite who they are rooting for, would disagree.

Matt's history – good-by. Adam is so clearly the best of the bunch to see him in the bottom two only reinforces my thinking that the producers run the show to keep things interesting. The live crowd validates that Adam is the favorite week after week and anything else is nonsense.

It was definitely Matt's time to go.

Wow, how boring Idol would have been if Adam was gone.

I can't believe he was in the bottom. He is by far the best singer-entertainer. He brings magic to the stage.

As for Gokey, can you say one-note-wonder?

My top 3 – Adam, Alyson, Kris, and Danny

wow ,I had no idea the show was so cruel. What was that , what was the point of embarassing the singer who has brought the most interest and support to what may be the last season of a tired show ?

I feel like i just got sucker punched , I will vote for Adam , for the rest of the shows – but I am not watching anymore .I ll get the numbers from a friend... It really was cruel – cruel the way the top runner was cut down – but i guess people like to see that . if hes in th ebottom three fine people vote for who they vote for – but build him up then make him choose and the n prove how wrong he is ? Bad taste.
almost like bullying -and dont we have enough of that in the world ?

Its about time Matt got the boot. Never really seamed like the "idol" type

ANOOPS VOTERS ARE VOTING FOR DANNY!!! AND Allison got alot of sympathy votes..

Kick up the votes Adam fans!!!!!!!!!

They lose Adam......they lose me watching...........he's the only reason I put up with listening to all the rest of them. I can't stand Danny!!!

The most talented people left in the competition are Adam and Allison. Both are miles ahead of the other guys. I don't know how people can put either of them in the bottom 3. The final 2 absolutely must be Adam and Allison. period.

If they want us to believe the results are real, they should just tell us the numbers. Do a little CNN thing and put a big map up there with all the numbers and give us the official results. Show us percentages- something. Otherwise, we have no reason to believe that these results are in any way accurate. So, to create drama (and to keep people watching for the full hour- do you really think most of us would have stuck around to watch Taylor Hicks if we knew Adam was safe right from the start of the show?!? Please.), they say Adam is in the bottom two. Sorry- not buying any of it. I have never voted for a contestant ever on American Idol. I have voted hundreds of times for Adam and thousands of other people have, too. Notice how many people are buying new phones, etc. because of this? It's all a scam to get people to watch the entire show and vote even more (which AT+T is loving!!). Not at all fair to poor Adam, though. What a torturous thing to do to someone!!

I personally have always hated, and despised American Idol.. that is until i heard Adam Lambert. I don't care if he wins or loses just so long as he does some "METAL" after the show. He's perfect for it and i can't wait to buy his album.

How is anyone surprised or of the thinking that there was no way Adam could've been in the botom two and maybe the results were rigged?! If you read the posts, Adam is a love him or hate him guy, so that splits the votes right there. As well, as contestants get voted off, those votes have to go to someone and most likely it's not for Adam, so it makes perfect sense that he was in the bottom two.

My sentiments too, Karen...
Your fans love you all the more, Adam!

I was really surprised that Adam was in the bottom 2 with Matt tonight. I had a funny feeling that it would probably get down to between Matt and Kris, and I was hoping that it would be Kris who would go home. Between the two of them (Matt and Kris), Matt has been ten times more consistent then Kris, and has this beautiful "soul" to his voice that Kris lacks. Kris has a great voice, but, a lot of guys in America have great voices. Matt had something that was at least a little bit more original than Kris. And as for Adam, he better not be eliminated until they get down to the bottom three. In fact, I rather see him be eliminated right before the finale, or be in the finale and lose, so he doesn't get stuck with that crappy American Idol contract which will supress his originality.

Actually, it's one "fewer" in the pack...but the right one went home.

I hate to say i told you, but I told you so. Allison is a fabulous singer. It was very unfair for Simon to grill her the way he did last night. does she think she can win? was she mechanical? Kara was right...Simon was just plain crazy or deaf or stupid......or biased....

no better a singer will ever grace the Idol stage than Allison...you lived to witness her.....she came into your life like a gift from God...she was given to you.........appreciate her......

the next american idol.

Adam is very talented, but the shreiking gets old, and I'm always disappointed but not surprised when he resorts to it to show off. So far the judges are still buying it, but the public is withholding votes. Also, Paula makes me nauseous with her fawning over him– hope she leaves soon. Finally, girls, can you really fantasize about Adam? Naive.

I was stunned to learn that Adam was in the bottom three. Totally pins and needles til you shared the news re: Matt. I do think America got it right w/Matt but not Adam – he is an extremely talented young man and I think he has an incredible opportunity for an amazing career...

I didn't like Adam's performance last night. I thought it was too much like his others and nothing special. I am not at all surprised he wasn't a top vote getter. One problem Adam has is only glowing comments from the judges. This could make him not work as hard, or come off as too self assured. I believe the audience loves an underdog which is Danny (widower) Allsion (youngest at 17 and free thinker) and Chris (the come from behind contestant).

Adam is an amazing entertainer with the most vocal control I have ever heard! Seriously. He can do anything: be sweet and sexy, over the top, and just right. My favorite is still "The Tracks of My Tears." I don't care if he's gay, wears makeup, or anything. He just oozes talent. The rest are standing in his shadow. No way will he be in the bottom anything again...unless this is rigged by AI all along. Three more weeks, baby.

Oh, and I am a 56 year old grandma who appreciates talent.

I can't believe how wrong America just about got it ... c'mon, Adam should have never been close to going home ... he doesn't command star status, his sheer presence on stage demands it effortlessly ... oops, I sounded like Paula for a second. As a Canadian watching this show faithfully I am shocked that he just about bit it tonight. C'mon guys and gals, get it right next week and don't give us a heart attack!

Adam is easily the best performer, singer, and entertainer. Allison is decent. Danny has great vocals but his songs are all so dry. Kris is decent but I can watch his face when he is singing...he looks like a fish gulping for air.

The poorest singer Matt left, he should have never been saved, he is mediocre and awkward on stage, he has no individuality and has tried to image himself based on Justin Timberlake with 10% of the talent. He should thank himself very lucky for being in the top 15 let alone top 5.

Kris Allen is getting through based on the votes of spotty hormonal teenagers. I think his time is running out though. He is clumsy but cute, he is cuddly but creepy. All at the same time.

Danny is very good but he is also very predictable and though he is a great singer he is not a great performer. It obvious he spent last number of years singing with a church choir. His voice is amazing but it doesn't transfer into a great show.

Adam is a great performer and a fantastic singer (probably one of the best ever on Idol) yet for some he is hugely irritating, not sure if its his squeals, his cockiness, either way I think it will be his downfall. He has peaked way too soon in this competition. People are starting to tire of him and people are brought up to be brought back down again,i firmly believe he is on his way down. I dont think he can give any better a performance than what he has given already. So even if his brilliant, it will be expected, he will squeal and people will say 'heard it'

Alison Iraheta needs a PR person. Her weakness is that she does not connect well with the public, she cannot put an entire sentence together without ' eh' and uh''s. She doesn't leave people with a feeling of 'aww she is lovely or she deserves this and i am rooting for her"
That said she is 16 (or 17 as of yesterday) and I think people are starting to forgive her for that because of her age)

Each week she gets a little more confident and is starting to take risks in her performances , which are working. She is peaking at the right time and i think might be one of the final two with danny Gokey and the one who can win this.

Adam, you suck. You are not good. YOu should have gone home !!!

This was the stupidest stunt ever pulled by FOX. Nice way to get more people to watch the show and try to make things interesting, but it just shows how manipulative they are with the results.

Adam and Allison- are to me the 2 finalists. They have the skill to take a song and reinvent it or put the "edge" necessary to make it a winner. This is a very talented field,this final 4. They will have to be very careful with song selection and their natural ability to "hit it out of the park" on any given week. Next week is Rock and Roll and should play to both Adam and Allison's strengths.

Wow – some harsh words posted here about contestants. Yes, it was an AI orchestrated drama putting Adam and Matt as the two guys on the line. Everyone knew it.
However, I still can't help but think that the format of the show (even though labeled a 'singing' competition) is a 'performance' competition. Unless some things change drastically, of course Adam will win – he's the best 'performer.' That in no way makes him a great singer or the remaining top 4 contestants poor singers. It is what it is. I do have to say most all seem like truly nice guys (and gal).

I know all remaining 4 will go on to do great things in music. (And you don't have to be able to sing absolutely every musical genre and receive AI blessings to do that!)

Some comments are just downright mean, we can share opinions without being rude!

I am very upset last night I was vating for # 09 but the vote was for #4. I think it is already decided, our votes mean nothing. My vote is between Allison & danny gokey. I adam wins I know that it was fixed.

OMG. I can't believe Adam was in the bottom 2. I pick him as the new American Idol. Guess I better get on the phone next week. Kris, Danny and the girl may have decent careers but Adam is a star waiting to happen.

I suggest Adam leave the show. LET IT BE THE BORING SHOW AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

Not surprised at Matt leaving, but very surprised that Allison and Danny had the most votes!

Some of you people are funny. It explains why top 40 music is so lame. I keep reading that Kris hasn't any talent, not original... blah blah.
The average person seems completely unable to assess musical talent. Which is why the Britney Spears of the world are successful.

Kris Allen is the only singer/songwriter/musician on the show.

He has a ton more musical talent than the rest, and by that I mean well rounded. the others are all very good, but he has the edge.

You will find other singers and musicians agree with me.

But, like PT Barnum said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

I couldn't breathe for a minute. I can't believe Adam was in the bottom 2. I voted for him the entire 2 hours until the lines went down. Hey Adam fans don't think he has it made, we have to give him all of our support. I am afraid Matt's support will be split between Danny & Kris, so Adam needs our support. I will be dialing my fingers to the bone next Tuesday night.

GO ADAM......... If he goes home, I am out for the season............

I was shocked that Adam was in the bottom 3. I have a feeling a lot of people are assuming that he will always be safe, and they aren't voting for him. I'm still rooting for Allison; while Adam is a more exciting singer, can you imagine Allison in a couple of years with more experience and more musical tutoring? She is truly gifted. Adam could turn out to be another one of those gimmicky singers (think Hicks) that ends up going nowhere.

To cut Adam down, sounds like something a nasty person would do for an ego trip...Adam is a sweet person.... He is always curtious to everyone...I think he is clean cut and loves his family and stays close to their opinions and support...Adam is a true showman and does not need to be cut down......I know this because this is what happened to my life and I lost all confidence........Good luck to Adam, I will vote next week for you.....Don't take it for granted that he gets all the votes.....Please vote for him

I wonder if this bottom 3 grouping was AI's response to the leaked info about the popularity of Adam and Kris's itunes downloads?

YEA, KRIS! I was pumped that he made it through. According to an itunes article – Kris and Adam should be in the final. I agree.

For a minute I thought my dream was coming true and I wouldn't have to suffer through Adam's screeching and screaming. But alas, the dream didn't come true. Oh well, at least I still have a mute button.

Wish it had been Adam to go. Now that Matt is gone, I have no reason to watch the show for the rest of the season. But I do believe Matt will be just fine. He's got crazy talent and will have a music career.

I wondered if there was some manipulation going on with the bottom two. But – I have to say, when the show was over last night, I started calling my votes for Adam. And – to my surprise – I got through on both of his numbers probably about 20-25 times – with only one are 2 busy signals. That scared the be-jesus out of me.

I can't help bug wonder if Adam's fans got complacent and figured they didn't need to make much effort to vote because he's been consistently in the top group.

Just goes to show ya - if you want your Idol to win, ya gotta vote!

Not surprised.

Maybe a save wasted (was used pretty early!)

Maybe a career, maybe not. (Might as well ask the Magic 8 Ball!)

Hope Adam is in 'til the end. He's at least memorable, unlike some of the pack.

After what happened to Chris Daughtry nothing would completly surprise me on AI. Matt's time had come. It could of happened sooner. But I was shocked when Adam was in the bottom two. And yes, I too held my breath. Thankfully Ryan didn't drag it out a whole lot. I believe it could of been dramatic TV at work here but who knows. On to next week where it'll really start getting tough

I wish it would have been Adam. He is fake!

I have watched every season of AI since day one! Adam is by far the best artist ever to compete for this title! The others have good vocals,but they do not have the WOW facter! He has set the bar so high that AI will never be the same! Lets face it, if this is rigged and he is voted off AI will loose millions of viewers!

I really hoped Adam would go home tonight it would of made a more interesting final 4, because then everyone would have a clear chance at winning. By the way, there is no way Adam is not the best singer in this competion there is at least two better singers.

HE IS SO OVER RATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is crazy to think that Adam was really in the bottom 2. Fox plays us every year. If Adam were to leave the ratinga would drop!! He is the only reason to watch, he is the complete package. Kris is dull and boring, Danny is too inconsistent, Allison is sweet and if she wins it would be cool but the real idol is ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam Lambert is by far the best contestant. He is in a league of his own. Matt was the one who deserved getting the axe. It should come down to Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert in the finals. Allison Iraheta if she tones it down a bit and doesn't sing like a roadhouse rocker next week could come in third. Kris Allen has a chance for third or forth.

Thank God! Matt should've never been saved in the first place and quite frankly I'm not at all surprised Adam was in the bottom 3. Adam sounds exactly the same on every single song he sings, his self indulgent antics make me like him even less. I hope he goes home though I'm sure he'll do very well on next weeks rock and roll He's got the screaming down.... I predict he'll sing a KISS song! Go Kris we're rootin for a Real Musician to Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care about AI any more, the most manipulated drama season came to an end when Anoop got out, judges, producers and Ryan was always behind him, making bad coments, always criticizing Anoop for whatevr he did.
reading from blogs" Matt got out" Hurray, In an interview Simon said Mat wont be in final , then the interviewer asked , why save him, he didn't even have an answer. Comon why producers didn't teach him what to say, so sad.
Honestly why did they save him, just because they want Anoop to be out. RACISM or what?
Didn't like the way AI ended this season, me and my friends quit AI.

Adam like I have said before yur 15 minutes of fame is ticking...tick tick tick

Love, Love, Love Adam, along with my 74-year old mother, 14-year old daughter, and numerous girlfriends. Even my conservative husband is a reluctant fan–because you can't deny Adam's talent. I'm just bored with AI because I want to see more of Adam and feel we have to suffer through the others. It is so staged, no doubt. But it's revealed Adam to the world and he's such a gift to us!

Plausible drama? Those who profess shock at tonight's bottom three and/or tonight's bottom two would be advised not to ever watch televised Professional Wrestling lest they suffer a heart attack... also be advised against doing in depth research about Santa and/or the Tooth Fairy lest they be shocked to the core. Tonight's drama smacked of being scripted to generate a buzz from the gullible and to generate a buzz about the show and the contrived television drama for the next few days...

I feel that Adam is the most talented BUT he needs to sing without screaming next week. He needs to show us again that he can do it. I will vote repeatedly for him IF he does not scream but sticks to singing.

Does being in the bottom two mean the two that received the lowest votes or not? Is it the true one that is going plus a name picked at random?

What defines the bottom two?

I couldn't believe Adam was in the final 2. If he leaves I don't know why I would watch.

I'm a little surprised that Matt was eliminated tonight since his performance was so strong last night. I thought it would be Allison or Danny, who also needs to go. He started out great but has become boring. Kris is very talented and should not be underestimated. As far as Adam is concerned, whether you like his style or not he is the best entertainer that has ever been on American Idol. Can't believe he was in the bottom two. If Adam doesn't win it won't be because of his talent. He way out in front of the pack.

Adam has great chops but he is destined for Broadway. He will have a grand career there. Allison is a suprstar I just think to young and needs some seasoning. Goeky has a great voice but is so generic. Kris had a horrible night last night but I tell you he is the real deal.

I expected Matt to go home, even though i am a BIG fan of his! But didn't he go out tonight with style and class?

MATT IS ONE ALL-AROUND CLASS ACT!!

In Season 5, after Chris D. was knocked off, I read a very interesting article about a possible reason for Chris leaving. The writer said that when earlier singers left, their fans probably did not start voting for Chris because they probably didn't care for his rock music. They went to others, like Elliott and Taylor and maybe even Katherine McPhee. If you think about it - would a Kellie Picker or Bucky Covington fan vote for Chris Daughtry. Probably not. So if you add that to Daughtry fans just being complacent, you can see why Chris left when he did. This may have been what happened to Adam. You either love him or hate him. I don't think he is picking up more voters as others are voted off.

dont expect Adam to be in the bottom two again

I'm deeply disappointed that Matt is going home. I always anticipated whenever he performed because you couldn't expect what he would bring. Yes, he was NEVER boring! Yes, he changed his style. And that is show. If it is predictable and boring, that you have Danny Dokey and Kris! These two are boring and predictable. Idol producers and screenwriters made this WRONG to have Matt gone. I believe Matt will be successful as Jen Hudson or Daughtry – the fact that Idol producers are still crying river.

We all know this Idol show is STAGED and FAKE, and never been about the phone calls vote. You want to prove? Just ask why they never show the numbers OR never have any 3rd party counts the vote. They only have it in the FINAL (by Ernst and Young accountant), never in the previous stages. So Just stop watching altogether and wait for the youtube videos.

Matt has the only real talent. He can compose, sing, and play the piano. The judges have always promoted Adam on every show. They should keep their mouths shut and let the audience do the judging. Adam has a nice voice but it is the same sound every week.

I think Adam's going to be the eventual winner, with Alison right behind him, but I have to say i have been more impressed with Kris in the past few weeks than i would have thought. I wrote him off early on, but his style has really matured, and I thought what he did last week with "She works Hard for the Money" was amazing.

Danny is very solid but not stellar, and I think he will be next to go.

So SAD Matt is gone. But I will buy his record whenever comes out.

Adam or Danny Gookey? YUCK! I will definitely ignore Adam's albums or songs. His voice and acrobatic singing style is just so Axl Rose it is not its time anymore. And Danny? Whatever – that guy is just another boring soul.

The other record I may listen/buy is definitely Allison. She is rock and her vocal is IN, baby.

Kris? I think he is very flat. I will go to Jason Mraz first before even bother to listen to Kris singing. And what's up with his singing from the side from his mouth? It is so freaking weird and ugly.

Can't say for sure if the show is rigged, but I'm so glad I took the time to vote for Allison two dozen times last night. She's not my favorite, but she was awesome last night. Normally, I agree with Simon – but not about Allison's perfomance last night.
I'm pretty sure I heard Ryan say Adam was in the "bottom two," meaning number of votes. As much as I like Adam, I wish he would have sung the song like a "standard," kept his tongue in his mouth and chosen not to screech – it just wasn't appropriate last night...

This is the best final five I've seen on Idol. Not surprised Adam and Matt were in the bottom two. Love Matt's vocals and style but he was struggling with the pitch last night. and is a tad inconsistent. Nothing that a little work with a vocal coach won't fix in short order. Adam is just starting to sound too much the same from week-to-week. He's unbelievably talented but I think he belongs on a Broadway stage, not on a world music tour. I'd like to see all of these kids have break-out careers and Adam is definitely the most versatile with regard to singing, movement, acting and stage presence. Send him to Broadway and send one of these other talented kids on the music tour of his or her life!

Derek, why do you watch the show.. Jealous of Kris and David A? What a sad individual you are. They are both awesome and if you dont like it, stop watching the show. You show your true, jealous, envious , poor spirit attitude which, I might add, is frightfully creepy. Matt is a good singer but someone had to go. Kris and Allison showed they have real talent and huge followings of fans. Get over it.

This happens almost every season. People assume the best/better contestants will get enough votes to stay so they vote for the underdog they want to save. That is why Carly was kicked off last season, LaToya in the 3rd and Tamyra in the first season.

To be a real idol, a good voice is not the only criteria. You need to have stage presence and you have to show variety in style. AI is not just a singing contest , it is an IDOL contest and I would like to see an idol who has a terrific voice and a great presentation without being boring or overbearing.

Adam = Poor man's Elton John.

I am glad that Adam was in the bottom 2. I think he is very good, however, maybe he is getting a little too cocky. I did not like the way he assumed he was safe AND what kind of person sells their friends out? Who is he to assume the bottom two? Anyway, Matt is terrific, I love him. Being in the top 5 is such an awesome honor. Matt will do fine. He's a great guy with a great voice. Good luck Matt!!!!!!!

To be honest, I am sad to see Matt go. But I can't wait to get Allison voted off. Her voice sounds like nails on the chalkboard to my ears!

I'm not at all surprised that Kris was safe. I'm really happy that people are starting to recognize the talent he has! I also agree with Mike Stone–I was half expecting Adam to pull a Chris Daughtry on us. Sometimes that's how it goes.

I'm sure Matt is a great guy, but he just didn't do it for me. Sorry...

Should have sent off Adam Lambert home! The judges keep declaring that he is 'original', but all there is to this idol is 'screaming and showing his tongue all the way deep to his pharings! The jet black hair is certainly not original neither are the stud earrings and nor the black nail polis and eyeliner! A combination of a born again black haired Billy Idol! C'mon guys, can't we find anyone original in this heap?

Time to spend the entire 2 hours speed voting for Adam!

Adam can perform. I thought the purpose of AI was to discover some unknown talent. I think that rules Adam out. He is a professional already. Go Allison!

even before reading everyones comments about tonights results
i had to wonder if the votes had been fixed or whatever to add a little drama there is no way adam should/could have been in the bottom 3
matt should have gone home weeks ago they wasted a save on him
final two adam and danny

I think, they were right in sending Matt home. I think Adam should be next. All he does is scream..............................................He should go back to theater performances and Let Gokey win the whole show!

I've watched a lot of Idol shows and Adam has the record for being touted as American Idol by so many at this stage of the contest, I mean with 4 weeks to go. I think he is great however, "nothing is for sure", "upset" "darkhorse winner" and "miracle" are words used when others who have come out of nowhere to unexpected victory. The unexpected happens sometimes.

Adam doesn't need Idol. He does have a certain following, but is America really ready for him? I heard I should Google him and found some – ahem – tasteless pictures of him. I won't say more, but despite the fact that the guy can perform – I'm done supporting him. Loved the Gene Simmons comment...I, too, am tired of his tongue!

Danny's my boy – all the way!

Yes folks ,the Itunes sales got out of the shocking $$ of Adam tunes sold. Not information they wanted out. There pretty much indicating the level of votes for the kids. They had to do something to cover their tracks. Feel kinda bad for that Adam.

The save is stupid in the first place. I think he should have gone home the first, and at least Anoop (my favorite) could have stayed one more week. Of course the golden child Adam wasn't going to go home, but I'm beginning to feel better now that he's finally been in the bottom two. Maybe next week will be the big week and my faith in AI will be restored!

As a singer and entertainer, I believe Adam is overall number one and Danny a close second. You can argue it out over the remaining two who obviously have careers in this business. Allison, though extremely talented, still need to grow naturally before her true potential shows through. Ain't bad though for a 16 year old. She's actually better than a few "Idols" of the past. That Hicks guy SUCKS!

Now we know why Fox refused to air Pres Obama’s press con.
They have something up their sleeve.
Seems like Adam Lambert thriller of being voted off will catapult the ratings and the earnings to stratosphere for Fox. I hope they give Adam a percentage of the grosses for making this happen for them.

I agree with "Don't Trust Idol Results" There is no way the fans voted Adam Lambert as part of the bottom three. It was all staged. Did you notice Ms Laguardia's reaction, it was surprise with a big fake grin wrapped around it. Like, "Oh My". It was all a publicity stunt.
In one way I can understand it, every week Adam blows the competition away, not that Danny, and Kris don't have stellar moments, but with the usual Adam taking the number one spot, it is starting to get boring. So what better way to spice it up then to get Adam in the bottom. The outrage from the viewers is bound to get everyone talking, and the viewers tuning in all the more. For those who don't like Adam. I also felt like if Adam was booted off, I would stop watching.

I was just happy to see smug little Adam in the bottom two.

I was surprised Matt went home and even more surprised Allison and Danny were the top two, Not surprised Adam was in the bottom, I think he should have been in the bottom a few times. Yes, I do think Matt is headed for something big. Just like Kelly Pickler and Bucky Covington, they got voted of and they did better than the top two that year . I think it took a bit of wind out of Adams sail. Put him in his place a little bit. I guess he is supposed to win, and I think Danny will be runner up. After tonight I beleive it is all set already. I won't vote any more, don't think that has anything to do with it. Not ever sure if I will watch anymore. I have have seen it happen every year, the best leave early

I had wished Adam got booted however Matt will go on to a great career. Next week is the 50's genra and I predict Adam the showman will transform himself to Elvis and sing Jail House Rock or a sultry Love me tender. I'm waiting for him to show up in a dress!

We can just keep hoping and praying that not everyone is fooled by Adam's cheesey singing "Acts".

Every week Adam performs his dinner theater singing, so what if he can sing technically well? it's syrupy sweet and icky icky icky. he makes me want to barf

YES! Bottom three! there is Hope!!!!!

Adam is NOT in the bottom 3. It's baloney.

Kris Allen is still there because he has a huge fan base including many many older folks who love his calm manner and appealing style. Adam is still there because of bunches of teeny boppers. But he too has alot of talent. Hopefully they will be the top two in either order. They are both great. Go Kris and Go Adam

Adam should have gone, Matt has more talent than Kris, Danny or Adam. Thinking this show is fixed. Matt will be just fine. No reason to watch the show anymore my fav is gone.

One more thing. Matt is who I picked to get eliminated toninght. It is not because he is less than a great guy with a wonderful dream. It was due to technicals. The guy sings a little off pitch sometimes, and he seems to be wrestling with the notes. Not really comfortable with them, and concentrating on his phrasing.
For those who don't like Adam, I find that a hard pill to swallow. The guy has worked for 5 years, dedicating his life to one goal, and that is to make it as a singer. All of that practice has really paid off.
Look at the competition with your heart, moreso than your ears, even though the two go hand in hand. To be honest with you, the emotional scale was Adam number one this week, and second place goes to Allison. I really felt it with her. She was amazing, a woman far beyond her years; impressive. Kris topped out the night he played piano, the arrangement was great, and he performed it beautifully. At least he learned to keep his tongue in his mouth. Danny was one of my favorites early on, but he is performing lukewarm. He is doing everything right, but not spectacular.
I recorded Adams performances, and when you hear them back to back, it makes you realize that he ought to create an album with each of the songs he did on Idol and to the fuller long version. I would buy that album, and I am a guy. Adam has it all, he appeals to all ages, and Paula and Ms Diguardi, it is all they can do to contain themselves. Last night they were throwing cold water on them just to wake them up. I did also feel like Adam was doing too much of the screaming instead of rock solid full notes, but I think the singing coaches have tempered that just enough to make it the high point of the song, without appearing like a screamer. He has it all, range, full voice in the low tones, middle tones, and yes falsetto and bone chilling screams. He's got what it takes to become another Elvis Presley or the Beatles. Compare the emotional experience when he is on the stage to that of the guest performers, including last years winners, and professionals with top, top selling albums. He blows them all away. This guy is a phenomenon I tell you.

Adam was cheated. He is the best they have ever had.

I'm crushed that Matt went home. He has such and great voice and spot-on rhythm. Why do people vote for Chris and Danny over Matt? I really don't get it. Those two are good, but don't hold a candle to Matt. It's a shame.

My favorite contestant is Adam, but don't think he should become the next American Idol - depending on what type of artist he wants to be. The AI is more mainstream, commercial - if he wants the title, he knows how to play to win. The masses of fans love him as a clean-cut, handsome man with a huge vocal range and deep emotional reach. The eye-lined, nail-polished, OTT, cabaret-style of singing and occaisional screeching that he loves is not as widely embraced. He's not the typical AI and the title could either limit what he can do or cause him to suffer alot of backlash if he doesn't conform to the title's expectations.

But it doesn't matter whether Adam wins or not. He's the most electrifying, most talented, versatile and talked about contestant on the show. He's already a STAR, he's already made his mark, and everyone is waiting with bated breath at what he'll do next. Record deals, movie contracts, nothing is beyond his reach.

Despite Danny's vocal perfection (and I loved his performance most everyone's last night), I don't think he would make a good AI either. He doesn't have the star quality, the good looks, the charisma to carry it off.

Allison or Kris could be great AIs. They have the appealing looks and talent that can be packaged well.

I wasn't shocked but I was very suspect. The last two weeks when I dialed to vote for Adam. I had never a busy signal and the I dialed the 5 and 10 numbers and the ten wasn't working and the 5 was. I have seen several people saying the same. Something is wrong.

One last thing, did you see the look in the guy who played Ray Charles (it's late and I can't remember his name right now) face? At the end of the segment when he stood next to him on the piano, the last shot was one of fear. He realized he had to perform on stage, advertising his new movie and album, and be compared to this bigger than life phenom called Adam.
The songs Adam picks, his arrangements, writing skills, everything all adds up to an album that would be truly amazing. Many of the others would give you a commercial piece, but Adam, I am sure it would be a shocker. The kind you play again, and again, and again, just like I do when I rewind and repeatedly hear his performances with my Windows Media Center Edition recording.

Tragic. Round 1 to the teeny boppers and talentless hacks out there. Matt was easily the most talented MUSICIAN on the show. He's got both talent and soul. I will definitely buy a Matt G. record. And before all you hacks start the JT comparisons, go listen to Robin Thicke. If there is a comparison to be made, it lies there. I do believe, however, that Matt is a unique talent; different from Robin Thicke. Robin Thicke paved the way for white R&B/soul crooners, and I hope that Matt walks down that path.

Seriously? Danny in the top 2? You did watch Taylor Hicks perform and fell asleep the same way I did, right? Danny is a show choir singer whose album would rival that of Clay Aiken and Taylor Hicks, i.e., it will both monumentally suck and flop.

Well, I am done watching Idol for the year. I leave the voting and viewership to the rest of you tone deaf teeny boppers.

Top 3 Remaining Contestants:

Alison
Kris
Danny

Adam is still Number One!

His being in the bottom three tonight was due either to Allison's fans going crazy or his own fans becoming complacent.

Either way, fellow Adam fans, let's blow up our phones voting for Adam until he assumes his rightful position at the top of the heap!

Adam, we love you!

Why are people comparing Matt and Kris. O please! Kris is a consistently good singer, haters should back off! He has more fans...period!

The save wasn't a waste, Matt deserved to stay, the only contestant worth saving at the time of their eviction. Besides, he had to outlast Lil and Anoop. But he was the weakest of the 5, matt fans, deal with dat.

Kris all the way!

Alison should go home, not Matt.

If Danny was safe, then the producers have already crowned him the winner and we shouldn't bother voting!!

Although I LOVE Adam (and Matt, sorry to see you go!), I think they will both be better off professionally without the AI title, because at this point it's really a joke, isn't it??

Danny, safe?? REALLY?? Yes, that's a joke!

Ok. There never ever should have been a "save". Matt should have been gone when the viewers voted him off. He was/is mediocre at best with just an ok voice....and the hat bit was getting reeeally old. Anoop should have been on that stage last night. He was robbed by the stupid "save". What a waste. Anoop had superior vocals but the judges had their own favorites and gave Anoop nothing but undeserved, harsh criticism week after week. I'm guessing his preppy style and intelligent image had a lot to do with it...and was not one that Idol platform was in to. So in hindsight....the save was a total waste. Also....interesting was how "the arrogant Cowal" tried to make nice tonight. Give me a break. I think there are thousands of angry voting fans who have voiced opinions because they were miffed at the save and hence the way the final 5 were selected. That's why he was acting cordial this evening. Additionally....that "save" feature essentially disregarded the voters' decision as to who should get sent home...Matt in this case...instead turning the result into a judges decision rather than that of the voters. Why should we even bother to vote?

As far as Adam being in the bottom 2...it is likely the result of Anoop's fan votes going to Kris....and Lil's fans voting for Allison....the only other girl. There had to be enough votes there to turn the tables on Adam. And Danny has his own fan base....and has been running second to Adam all along. He is a good singer...but his performances are pretty average....and quite predictable. He's OK... but the judges think he's overly great and continue to praise every one of his performances.

Also....at this stage of the game ...I think that all of Adam's drama and theatrics are wearing thin on the viewing audience no matter what the judges say from here on in. So... we voting viewers are at the point in time of really trying to figure out if he is an Elvis wannabe....a screaming stage act who really should be in a rock musical....or just a flamboyant performer who is closing in on the ripe age of 30. Here is a seasoned performer who has tried and failed on numerous occasions to get a recording contract. I think tonight was the first time that a real sense of fear could be seen on the face of Adam.....the usually confident "I'm gonna take this thing home" kinda of attitude. Let's see what he has for us next week.

Lastly......the past idol Taylor Hicks... is sooo ordinary and the song was terrible and nothing I would ever want to hear again. And...Jamie Foxx should just stick to acting because his ear stinging performance was absolutely awful tonight. Don't think he gave the final 5 anything great in the way of advice either. What does a rapper with electronic vocals have to do with American Idol's image anyway! Geez!

Wow! Thank God Adam made it thru!! Next week is Rock week and I think he should be safe! Come on People lets get to the phone next week and make sure of it! Adam is the BEST singer Idol has ever had and he deserves to win!

Adam is the only singer in the show who can handle an entire concert on his own. Each number would be unique. I'm sorry to say that although the others are good singers, perhaps only Kris can pull of an interesting concert because he's shown he can sing all styles. He's not boring after two numbers. I call Adam The Powerhouse. He is a superstar, whether or not he wins AI.

Adam should stay, he is a good performer and singer. He stands out and is memorable, as been said on this blog. Why they wanted to take out the two top sellers is quite confusing. Hope next week it is back to normal.

Sometimes Adam rocks my socks off, but not last night. He seemed too cocky, too sure of himself and last night was a little Ring of Fire-ish for me! And no the save wasn't wasted on Matt, I hope his career takes off after Idol.

Not surprised about Matt leaving, but sure was surprised to see the front runner in the bottom two. I think that a lot Adam's fans are also Allison's fans and they thought Adam wouldn't need their votes as badly as Allison would this time..thus, Adam ran short of votes tonight. I am an Adam fan and I haven't been voting for the same reason. I figured he could easily win without my vote. Guess I'll have to start voting for Adam next week.

Adam is the best AI contestant since Kelly Clarkson...polished, talented, and charismatic.

Don't understand why the judges are so hung up on Gokey. He has a nice voice but it isn't any better than Allison, Adam or Kris'. Plus...they are all cute and he isn't. I think he's just another karaoke singer and nothing specail at all.

I was elated to see Adam in the bottom two!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot stand his butt rock screams and Gene Simons tongue. If this were butt rock idol, I'd say he's going to take it for sure, but alas... it is not and he sucks!
Kris is a far and away a more talented artist than butt rock boy. I predict Danny will take it and it's time for Allison to go home. I can't believe anything she sings that has anything to do with life experience. I'm mean c'mon are you going to believe a 16 yr old singing about heartbreak??

Taylor Hicks on the program tonight was a reminder of what could happen if you don't vote! Adam is by far the best artist they have had on the show and don't believe he was in the bottom. But you have to remember the judges just judge, but the viewers vote. My votes are all for Adam to win this thing!

I wish Adam would stop screeching and keep his tongue in his mouth. If he doesn't, he could lose though, clearly, he has the most talent.

I'm not surprised that Adam was in the bottom 2. He is a good singer with great stage presence but he's wierd. He is WAAAY too theatrical and I cannot see him anywhere but on Broadway. He's not a rock or pop star. I think this whole group is pretty boring with no standouts. They are great singers but I can't see them having a career like Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson. They aren't stars. The only one I can see having some hope of being a success is Allison. I can see her being the new Christina Aguilar. I think this is the most boring top 5 Idol has ever had.

Well, someone had to go, but I'll still miss you Matt. You seem like a true gentleman.

I'm a huge Adam fan and buy all his downloads, but I will be buying your latest song on itunes. I loved it!

by doing what they did tonight, the show didn't only create suspense and drama for tonight's results show, which they needed (because come on, results show are usually really boring with often mediocre performances from idol alums and current 'artists'). but with this whole shake up, which i still think is staged, the producers have injected suspense to the entire rest of the season, and it makes perfect sense. since so many people are saying this season is getting boring, because adam is so clearly a frontrunner that the competition element of the show has died, this creates the effect of 'oh wait, maybe he isn't the frontrunner we thought he was!'

this is just AI trying to say to the american public that the competition is not dead yet, that there is still excitement and (self-created, i maintain) buzz in the competitive element of the show. can they be more transparent?????

I am so lovin' this showdown!
Allison is out next then the competition heats up with what those talented guys have to offer at best.
Great season.

Adam is THE IDOL! Can't believe he was in the bottom two but it won't happen again. Guess he just went a bit over the top for all you faint of heart out there. He is Adam Ant, Bowie, Rod Stewart all rolled up in one. The only one I would go to a concert of, over and over and over. And I'm a 59 year old grandma!

I think the rock theme next week plays to Allison and Adams strenghths. I also think Allison has the ability to blow people away if she does Janis Joplin – that is who her voice reminds me of.

I can see why Adam is good in the theater but he brings too much of that aspect to his performances.

Go Danny Go!!!!!

Wow lots of interesting comments tonight.....I agree FOX is staging Adam at points in the show to "keep us watching" . I would have quit watching cause I can't stand Taylor Hicks.....he's just as bad as he ever was. HOWEVER all of us AI fans have got to vote for our favorites and hit that redial button for all two hours! Please don't forget what happened to Chris Daughtry. The fans of every person who gets voted off will vote for someone else and they might vote against the person who is percieved to be the favorite or in the lead! Thus putting Adam in the bottom tonight.

I am really looking forward to next week as I love rock and roll and this will be the perfect showcase for Adam and Allison.

Adam is a professional and is a polite and respectful contestant and I disagree with comments about him being conceited or arrogant. He dose not come across that way. He listens to the judges with out arguing with them, he thanks them for there comments, he is supportive of his competition. I think he is a class act. Regardless of how this all turns out he WILL be a success and I will buy his CD when it comes out. We all know that you don't have to WIN AI to have an amazing career. If you got it, you got it and AI just give you a chance to show it off.

I just want FOX to let us vote at the end of the season for which Judge we want to get rid of and go back to 3. Listening to all 4 of them is why they keep running over on time. Paula bless her little confused heart is bad enough to listen too but throwing Kara in the mix makes it worse. I want Kara outta here and not back next season!!!!

Remember next week VOTE and keep VOTING!!!!

I wouldnt be surprised if Adam went home....it happened to Daughtry. From what I've watched....Adam can sing really high, but thats a freak talent, nothing else. Kris is the one to beat now, I think.

There is no one on this season's American Idol or any season before who can come close to the talent possessed by Adam Lambert. It feels very contrived to hear he was in the bottom two...he gets standing ovations at every performance and raves from the judges. Was it done for dramatic effect? Who knows...

but Adam's star will rise and he will get a record deal, he will tour, he will play packed houses in Vegas and he will be the toast of Broadway - no matter what the votes are. Adam is an original; no one can touch him.

Adam is good but not my favorite. I just could not listen to Adam for very long. He was my least favorite of all the five left.

I think Adam is great. I hope Alison, Danny and Adam will be in the top 3.
If Adam would have gone home tonight I would have not watched Idol anymore. He is the main reason why we ( me and my family) watch Idol!

Folks finally began to realize Adam is way over the top. Some may like his shrieking style, but obviously more don't. Everyone seems to discount Allison, but she is the best pure talent in a group with excellent talent. The fans began to recognize that fact, and managed to ignore Simon's ill disguised effort to edge her out. I hope Allison "tigers up" mentally and realizes she can win this thing.

I'm a guy and I am the "master of my domain" to Mr. Lambert 3 times a week. They guy is a rock god in the making. Women will die for this man but they will never have him. He will be the Freddy Murcery of our time. There has never been a better rock yell in the history of music. He would sell out NHL hockey size rinks today. It's on people. Eye liner and Elvis suites are in, get used to it!

no save wasted....all it meant was matt sang this week instead of anoop. no matter you you scoop it, matt, lil, and anoop were the next three to go...the order was just a small detail. though it would have been fun to see anoop do the rat pack...he's obviously got the voice to do that kind of music

Jennifer Hudson was booted out in number six..and look at her now...
Adam Lambert is suffering from too much success...a lot of people is assuming that he's going to win...therefore he's not getting enough votes...plus the envious ones that just don't know a good thing when they see one...
BBC reported that Sony records is after Adam Lambert in a big way....
Take that America!!!...

Forgot to add...if Adam Lambert is booted out!!...
That's it I am done watching American Idol 8...

I stopped listening to goth when i was twenty-something and so I don't think that i will be voting for adam. i think that fox is up to its regular shennanigans. and danny gokey rocks!!

I was surprised Adam belonged to the bottom three, but not at all worried that he would leave the show. Consistency is Adam's key. Though, he failed to get the needed votes to remain at the top, still, he's still here because of his past performances. Its a wakeup call for Adam change his style, instead of the screaming thing.

i was having a heart attack when i saw adam was in bottom three
and kris and alison were safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was shocking!

Matt you certainly gave it your all
If not you, someone had to fall
American Idol will be the best
But you did pass the 12 test

It seem the 16 year old will win
Adam is a 9 she is a number 10
And now we are down to four
Next week Adam may hit the door

But as an American Idol Fan
Matt you just could not stand
When Simon makes his call
He picks the winner thats all.

Lova Ya Voice Matt

I hate what Fox Network decided to do to ADAM LAMBERT tonite just for the $$$$$$$$ – the bottom line. Using Adam like a "cash cow". Shame, shame, shame on FOX!!!!! The American people are fed-up with corruption – even in a little show like AI. We're tired of the big wigs shortchanging us in any way. BUT when they go after a huge talent like Adam Lambert, saying he's in the bottom 2 when there4 are over 47 million votes and he has been the #1 vote-getter from the beginning, SOMETHING SMELLS LIKE A DEAD RAT IN THE DAMN CAR!!!!!...Fox – did you EVER have integrity??????? nope.

Taylor Hicks should have been sent home. Oh, I forgot he won American Idol. That's as easy to forget as is Matt. They should both go on the road doing Grease.

My opinion is that Adam, Allison and Danny are the top three. I honestly can't remember a single song that Chris or Matt sang. I remember Lil Round's songs more. Although I like Allison and Danny better than Adam, I would have to say that Adam at this point in time would make the best American Idol. How can any of us schmo's even tell who is the "best" singer? They're all so talented.

I was having a heart attack when I saw adam in bottom two!!!!!! it was crazy he is the best I would have stoped watching the show if he was voted off.

He should have gone home long time ago! He deserved to be sent home. Now, the difficult decisions are looming ahead! All 4 are talented.

Wow- is this how American Idol always does it? Manipulating the viewers? There's no way Adam was bottom 2... so now I don't trust anything AI says. Why should I watch a show that so rigged?

The Fox demographic gonna drive this. It will send the gay man home next, the gHokey christian will win.

Thankfully, it will put the production machine into a tailspin and the rules will change because they wont be able to derive 3-year out share, because just like last year the victor will have no career.

Avril, know what you're talking about. The Save was only valid before the top 5.

Adam is a money machine, do you really think they will let him go.
come on people wake up it's all about the money!! everything
on this planet is about the money, nothing else!!!!!

I have felt all along that the only true way to gage America's true wishes would be oneperson-one vote. This business of one person voting 25 times for the same Idol is a joke. It doesn't mean anything.

AI wasn't to blame if Adam went home. America was.
I think it was great that he had some humble pie served to him.
Talented no doubt. Nobody is safe on that show.

I knew Matt's time was up. Although I was shocked he was in the bottom two with Adam.

Up next is Slash and rocker week. The show should be more about the contestants and judges speaking and less about people pushing useless music (Gosh last night was awful)
Taylor Hicks what was that all about?

The save was not wasted. Matt should not have been booted before Anoop or Lil. However i think they should have used it for Alexis, she left way too early. But i think the judges did not want to burn their save so early in the competition.

i think Kris Allen then Danny Gook should be next to leave. Kris kind of reminds me of David Castro but with more talent. Danny is a Talyor hiccks with out all the grey hair.

Allison and Adam are the most up to date performers of the competition.

I secretly wanted Adam to go home last night. I think he did great, but so did the other contestants. While they sang their hearts out, they actually won over some of Adam's voters, and fair is fair. It's hard for them to compete against the eccentrics...and look it Taylor Hick's win. Showmanship can win crowds, but is it for the best in the end?
Danny rocked it, I see him with a brilliant career in the Worship industry if he channels his strengths there, Allison is beyond her years and regardless of the outcome will be successful from this as long as she has good influences in her life over these next few years, Kris is adorable and sexy and proved his worth on Tuesday night, and Adam is brilliant, but I'd never by an album from him, I'd rather go watch him on Broadway or a movie.

It's about time Adam gets a taste of sitting at the bottom. He's yelling is getting old. Try something new!

Adam was such a favorite, many voters including my wife, did not vote, it will change next week. complancency!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I always enjoyed Matt, I'm not shocked he left. Someone had to go and they are all decent at this point. However , with that being said, Adam is theatrical and I'm not sure that he would do as well as some other Idol winners once he hits the mainstream. He belongs in Vegas or on Broadway. So, no big wow for me that he landed in the bottom 3 this week either.

I am so sick of all the "OMG ADAM IS GREAT" crap! I think that if the girl that had once had a record deal got kicked off then he should have too. He is already in theater and now I find out that he is friends with Audrina from "The Hills". Come one people he is destined for a career. Why not help the real people who need to get their foot in the door. Every week I dread hearing his screaching voice, girly moves and stupid hair-dos. If they think he is that good then they should just go ahead and sign him and let the others have their time in the spot light!

Allison should have left. Dam deserved to be in the bottom 3.

Poor Matt, he was doomed. Hopefully some good will come out of this for him ( it has happened to others). Someone mentioned Robin Thicke, & Justin Timberlake 's style. That's what Matt has, and maybe, hopefully , someone BIG will see that, and take a chance w/ him.

Adam needs to go home!!!

Hoping to see Adam go home – what a disappointment! Maybe next week!

well i knew adam wasnt going home but i am not surprised he was in there. Yes, he is consistent but he always sings the same high note kinda deal. His voice is impecable but i feel that people thought danny and alison and kris changed it up more

Personnaly I think that Matt should have gone home several weeks ago. Not to say that he isn't good, just not good enought. I also, believe that Allison will be the next to go. Although, Adam can put on a show and is really great, I think that it will come down to Kris and Danny. That will be a difficult choice, but in the end only one can win.

My theory is that Adam is in a league all his own. But , I don't think he is going to pick up the votes of the idols voted off. I believe their votes will go to more "mainstream" idols. Matt's votes will go to either Kris or Danny, where Adam's votes will remain contstant. The other's will pick votes up. I don't think adam is the shoe in everyone thinks he is.

I have to agree, after Daughtry, nothing would surprise me on AI. I'm not an Adam fan so I wouldn't have been crushed to see him go home, but it also wouldn't have surprised me.

One thing you have to consider, AI doesn't really care if it loses a few viewers. I quit watching when Daughtry got sent home and guess what? The show went on! And it will continue to go on for at least a few more seasons. So, just because your favorite leaves, and you quit watching the show, the show won't go anywhere.

This has been the best top 5 that I can remember (and I'm a huge Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry fan). I think they would all do well. Even if my favorite this year gets eliminated, I'll still watch because there is a lot of talent on here. Since the remaining contestants are so great it will still be a fun show. And Kris, he's got mad talent! Think Disco week....

Adam is horrible. He belongs on broadway not on AI. His voice is great but what kind of kid of record would he sell? Queen? Show tunes? I would never buy an album from him. Matt, Kris, Allison yes I would and will if they are so lucky to pursue careers as artists.

I think the voting is rigged. This makes for better TV and more reason to watch future shows. There should be some way for us to view the voting results. No way is Kris better than Adam. Unbelievable.

As I stated before Adam is a good performer but VERY full of his own BS.....and that in the end may cost him the Number 1 spot.....His 15 minutes of fame is running out.....the look on his face when he was told that he was in the bottom three was PRICELESS!!! TICK TICK TICK

Who cares. None of the remaining finalists are worth watching this show for. Whites can't sing. All they know how to do is hate.

Here's the reason Adam was in the bottom 2 – his fans are as cocky and full of themselves as he is. They never dreamed their "idol" would ever be in the bottom 3 and neither did he. They didn't think they had to vote because it was predestined that Adam would win.

Well, guess what? You and Adam are not as great as you think you are and America brought you both down a notch tonight. Loved every minute of "as the worm squirms".

Not surprised by last night at all. Adam is Broadway – he isn't a record seller. It has been interesting to see the ones who have won American Idol and have sold records – compared to the ones who have turned into hot air. i think that America is thinking before they are voting from this point forward. i think they want an American Idol who will represent for a long haul – not for the moment sensation. Adam can sing – but he is so over the map – what genre would he sing?

Danny? He is solid. He is consistent and showing what kind of record he could cut – and it would sell.

i still can't believe Taylor won that year. i hated his style/voice then and last night he really got on my nerves.

How fitting it was to have Taylor Hicks perform on the night that Adam lands in the bottom 2. Just a reminder, the best does not always win.

Allison will have a better career then Adam. Just wait and see.

Idol was just trying to save face for the iTunes blunder. There is no way that the person who sold 3 times as many songs to tons of screaming fan girls was in the bottom two.

The judges ADORE Adam, if for two seconds they thought he was going home, they would have appeared mildly worried, at least. Instead they were giggling and joking, being silly like always.

When they were teasing each other saying Randy and Kara were right, it was very OBVIOUSLY about Matt. I am 100% sure they knew Matt was going home. It was obvious by their comments, gestures, lack of interest in Adam's presence. No mention of number of votes, nothing.

Dramatic effect? Yes.

No I don't , the producers wanted to throw us off. and make it not look so obvious. They didn't want it to b like last season, didn't David Cook win by 12 million votes, think about it .

Matt was by FAR the best talent on this show. He has amazing versatility as an artist which will allow him to make an entertaining album. If you watched any clips of the contestants interacting, he was always at the piano singing with everyone around him...making people laugh. He has a great personality and is very marketable. He will be the next Daughtry. If America allows Adam Lambert to win, I will stop watching this show. His music and interpretations, although strange, are very similar week after week with every song ending in that painful shriek of a scream that is SO not worthy of an Idol title. I am a little disappointed that the judges have not picked up on how redundant his performances are.... Matt will be the one to watch in the future.

That show was bogus. AI is trying to manipulate the audience into voting more next week.

Sorry Matt went home. Thought it should have been Kris. Glad to see Adam in the bottom 2. I really think the last girl that went home got a bad break. She was not a bad singer. I really don't think there is as much talent this time as usual; however, I did think all of them did a great job this week.

The only two who are true artists are Adam and Matt....
I will now watch next week because Adam is still in there. Adam is one of the best contestants along with David Cook, Elliott Yamin, and Carrie Underwood to be on Idol, and I have been watching since American Idol began.

Everyone do you remember what happened to Chris Daughtry? Who was by far was the best in that season and he got knocked off. Adam is not safe no matter what, all it takes is one bad week for any of the last 4. As for the show didn't they start singing 2 songs a night in previous seasons instead of just 1 at this point in the competition!

kris is definetly not that attractive!, he's short even shorter than ryan seacrest! also his facial expression swhen he sings are not that great either.
the one i find MOST ANNOYING is danny gokey, i disliked him instantly especially when he USED his wife's death to help his competition( it had been just a month since she had died ).
I just find him so annoying and sleezy. i can't wait to see him leave.

Danny needs to go home. Matt was by far the more versatile performer, even more so than Adam. Honestly, with Matt gone I don't care who wins and I won't be watching the rest of this season.

I believe Adam deserved his bottom two placement. People say he has talent.... come on.... Anybody can scream. You can always predict what he is going to do. Everything he does sounds the same. Yes he may make it big for awhile but one day it will be Adam Who???? Him being in the bottom two made my night!

America made the right pick in sending Matt home. He was talented but his time was up. I think Adam should go next week. He can sing (mostly scream) but isn't as talented as the rest.

Those that say Kris isn't as good of a singer need to actually listen. Kris and Danny in the finals!

So many "Adam" haters here! While Adam may not have a look that I like or maybe not make a CD that I would typically listen too, he certainly has the best voice (and control) of any American Idol to date. He always thanks the people he worked with that week. Seems like a really nice guy and gentle soul. I'm hoping the last two standing will be Adam and Allison. And if Adam does go home, I wish him the luck of Chris Daughtry (as that was truely a shame when he left and Taylor Hicks ultimately won). At this point in the game, until a winner is declared, good talent will go home each week. I'm a 50 year old grandmother - Count me as an "Adam" fan and I don't care if he wears nail polish, eye liner or is gay!

THANK GOD that screechy Lambert got the next to least votes! Maybe that will put a cork in his arrogant attitude lately. Seriously, he is so in love with himself & he's such a one trick pony.... whether it's an uptempo tune or ballad, just throw a little shreik in there & you got the morons screaming. Everyone did a good job Tuesday night, so it could have been anyone in the bottom 2.... Lambert fans need to give it a rest & stop being so cocky. There have been many great singers on IDOL – Kelly, Tamyra, Clay, Ruben, Jennifer, LaToya, Carrie, Bo, Elliot, etc..... he's hardly the best, just one of many. Besides, he's had 17 years of PROFESSIONAL musical theatre experience on all these kids. If he's not one of the best, he should be ashamed. He always was a ringer & don't worry, he'll win because the producers want him to in order to prove their not homophobic, as they've often been accused. Lambert will have a career on Broadway, whatever.

I too think Adam's bottom two placement was a Fox stunt. For the past couple of weeks lots of people have been speculating that the producers are pushing for an Adam win, and I'm thinking this was a setup to try to defy those suggestions. I honestly don't think Adam would be there by sheer lack of votes. And if I'm wrong, then let's ramp up the voting next week, shall we? Do you people honestly want to see Kris or Danny win this thing? (snore...)

Either way, I think it might have been a good thing to see Adam feeling a little vulnerable this week. The last thing I'd want is for him to think he's got this wrapped up. NO one should ever think that. Leaving him feeling a bit stunned and at risk this week will only make for a better performance next week. (Even though I thought he was incredible this week!)

I am so shocked that Matt went home, he was a great contender and had a great heart. He will get some where believe it of not. But i am betting that the bottom three will be.....ADAM, CHRIS, & DANNY !!! Great Job and Good Luck on Rock & Roll night

I don't get Adam, I'm just not a fan of his singing at all. It wouldn't have bothered me if Adam went home. I think he's a great performer but I hate how he screams and sticks his tongue out all the time. It just irks me. Blah

There's a difference between a good singer who is entertaining and a good singer who is pure schlock. This would be the difference between Danny and Adam.

The only two that keep me watching Idol are Adam and Allison?
There has never been a contestant like Adam.
To me the rest of the boys are, ya seen one, you've seen them all. YAWN.

Adam is so metrosexual, its ridiculous.

I'm not at all surprised that Matt got the boot. In fact, I don't think he should have been saved in the first place. I like him on the piano, and he's an entertainer. But I don't think he's good enough to make records. Maybe play in bars and entertain people that way. But to that extent, I don't think he has enough talent or good looks to make it big. Sorry, but the man is not attractive.

All I can say is.. if Adam went home, I was prepared to never watch "American Idol" again!

Dolores..nyc

Adam is good... for broadway. I couldn't imagine listening to that screaching for more than five minutes at a time. I would have loved to see him go home! Allison and Danny have such natural, raw talent for SINGING, not SCREACHING!

I think they sent the right one home. He's good but not #1 good. As time goes on, it's becoming more and more evident that Adam has had training above and beyond mere innate talent, perhaps an unfair advantage to the others. His movements and stage presence are TOO choreographed to be considered virginal. His effeminate vibes are getting stronger too, which by the votes is becoming a turn-off to the crowd. Appearing TOO self-assured has made him come off looking somewhat arrogant; those voted off get a somber look and obligatory half-hearted hug, how humble is that? However, what his voice can do with classic tunes is awesome and a force to be reckoned with! (exception being "Ring of Fire"- apologies to the late Johnny Cash!!!!)Danny has appeal but needs to be careful he doesn't come across in a Taylor Hickish sort of way. I think he is the "purest" talent of the remaining contestants. Allison has an incredible voice for her age and a great career ahead of her, but like Adam, I question if this is truly "raw" talent. Compare all of these singers to the Scottish Susan Boyle who is the epitomy of "raw talent!" At this point, too close to call a winner! The top ten this year have blown all previous contestants out of the water and all have very promising careers ahead of them!

I thought the save was wasted and now I was right. I can't believe how so many of you say how well Matt sung....do you have a tin ear??
It should come down to Adam and Allison in the end if your voting on talent. Danny does seem to have the judges in his pocket though.

I think Danny should go home next. The sympathy vote has carried him too far. I was shocked that Adam was in the bottom 2. I think it was staged as a way to ad drama to the show because the judges didn't look as surprised as they should have.

I wanted a bit of a shocker for the show...I was so hoping it would be Adam going home. Just for the sake to have him go home and then put a bit of a mix in everyone's predictions as everyone believes he will be in the finals. I was a little surprised but was hoping for a shocker. Matt going home is not a shocker...It was his time and he was not going to win anyways. Next up should be Kris....Out of the Final 4, I think he is going to have more trouble with Rock music than the others. Finally a week I look forward to...Rock week. Th Final 3 will be determined next week and I think it's going to be Allison, Danny, and Adam in the Final 3. Then Adam and Danny in the Finals. We'll see...

Of COURSE Adam wasn't going home. This was a stunt contrived by Fox to cause shock and drama. Come on America, stop being so gullible.

Adam is awesome. I've never been interested in Idol until now. My family loves theater and his performances are the whole package. I would actually pay to see him in concert in addition to buying his album. If he doesn't win, we look forward to seeing him on Broadway! If he wins ... good luck to him. The others are all very good but to be honest they just do not peak my interest. There are so many talented people out there ... it's the ones who stand out that make me open my checkbook!

Would have liked Adam to have gone home...a screamer – not an idol. He will have a career just like Taylor Hicks. Kris and Danny are the two more versatile singers. Adam can sing...but he screams way too much and not in a good way. Danny and Kris are much better.

Matt should have gone home a long time ago!!! He never should have been saved. There is no way that Adam should have been in the bottom 3, you dont go from never being in the bottom to almost going home......like someone said, Idol never tells you how many votes everyone got so who knows if its all set up or not! Chris better be the next one to go!!!!!!

I might have started actually watching the show again had Adam got kicked off. I can't stand him.

Tuesday night, I didn't vote for my person, but I will from now on. It scared me that Adam was on the bottom 3, he didn't deserve to be, but I will make sure that I vote every week for him. You have to vote, and not take everything for granted. Adam is the number 1 for me

Hello !?!

Danny & Allison safe? Kris & Adam in the bottom 3? Those 4 knew Matt was going home with 1/2 of America & all the judges. AI in AI fashion had to shake up an otherwise predictable show with inane drama. It would have been more believable to have Matt, Danny & Allison in the bottom 3 & sending either Allison or Danny back to safety.

The way Kris & Adam were 'placed' in the bottom insulted our intelligence. Are the procucers on the same thing that was in Paula's Coke cup last year?

WHOOOOOOO!!! It's about time Matt went home!!!! He was absolutely horrendous, I cannot comprehend how he stayed this long in the competition!

I sooo thought we were going to get luck and Adam would go home last night. I was really hoping so. Kris should win....so I am holding out hope that Adam goes home next week. I don't think I can stand much more of his screaming that he attempts to call singing!

Hmmmmm, if we fix it so people cannot call in for Adam yeah, that’s the ticket, with Adam in the bottom three that will ensure our ratings! I, for one, could not get through to vote for Adam on Tuesday and that is what I think these slime bags are doing. They got their hooks in these kids and are going to run them around for a year on tour? If I were
Adam I would tell them to kiss my pronominally talented a—and leave!

I just assumed that Adam was safe so I stopped voting altogether. I love Matt but not crazy about Kris – but STILL was surprised by Adam and Kris being in the bottom three. We all know exactly what happened – nobody voted for Adam, Kris or Matt because we ASSUMED they would be fine. Now we know that we still need to vote. Adam is the best and Matt is excellent – Allison needs to go!

No I am not surprised that Matt is a gonner. I also suspect that Adam may not be number one. His music is good, but all his songs are sounding the same. Great stage presence from prior experiences, but not going to be number one. Danny will win the whole deal with Adam or Allison second. Not sure about next week, either Allison or Chris out.

I think it was Matt's time to go. The final 5 all did a great job this week and I believe Matt was the weakest of the final 5. I am glad Kris is still in the finals.He's the most radio-friendly bunch of the lot.He's got a cyrstal clear,not over the top vocal.Adam,Danny and Allison are all very talented and any one of these four winning would be fine with me. I think Kris will be at a disadvantage with Rock n' Roll next week. I look for Adam and Allison to be the top 2 next week with Danny and Kris in the bottom 2 and probably Kris leaving (I hope not)

This season really is as steller as the last that produced David Cook.......I stopped watching...not worth it this season.....

PHENOMENALLY...PHENOMENALLY talented a–

Avril, the judges only had 2 more weeks to use the save... they stated that the night it was used.

Matt is not a JT clone. But would definitely be best fit in the R&B genre maybe even in a more experimental capacity. Put out an album and I'll fork over the cash for it, Giraud!!

Adam is very talented, but the shreiking gets old. Almost every song he sings he has to a screaming part and it's getting old. If he would leave this out of his singing he would be much better.

Brian,
That's four.
Last night was a shock. I guess all Adam's fans thought he was a safe and voted for someone else, probably Allison.

Was the save wasted? Yes indeed. Judges used it way too soon.

Adam Lambert in the bottom three, come on , I don't think so, Adam has blown the other competitors out of the water since day 1. .. . seems to me tthere might be some kind of ratings tactic going on here. .. . things that make you say hhhhmmmmm!!!!
Come on Adam fans, start voting, remember the judges save is no longer in play . . . it's up to us to keep him in the running . . . . GO ADAM!!!!

Wow....what messed up vote. How on earth could Adam have ended up in the bottom 2. I think they played this one tv ratings just to keep viewers tuned in. It had to be either Matt or Allison, and I am still surprised that she is in. She shows no confidence, is terrified and can't be honest or sincere in any of her responses. As for Ryan Seacrest, he needs to find another job as he is annoying and you can tell he does not like Adam. I think America has to wake up and make next weeks votes really count, and send either Kris or Allison packing.

not suprised matt went home but still believe he has more talent than Kris, Allison, and Danny...

at this point you have to have established a personality and a fanbase and his just weren't as big as the others...

What angered me about Adam being in the bottom was that neither my roommate or I were able to vote by phone or text message. The phone either never rang at all or a voice said "all circuits are busy" After an hour of trying to vote for Adam, I gave up and went to bed. The placement was not accurate until the phone failure is resolved.

adam is the best snger of the bunch . I am 60 years old and like country music but adam is the only idol contestant that I tape.He is awesom some of them a not good at all. If he is out there will be no reason to watch american idol any moore this year.Every one for adam needs to vote....

I wasn't surprised that Matt was sent home...he made the error of allowing his anexity to get the best of him....but truthfully, after listening to his club vd's I'd say he has a pretty good promising future in music...he just has to remember to sing from his soul and not worry about what is before his eyes. Also, he did a much better job with his song last night...
Adam is destined for Broadway not the airways....he has talent...and drama to go with it....I would pay to see him on Broadway.. (gosh, he just would make a great Judas (in song and acting)...
I wonder is Danny is going to be the finalist....it seems to be leaning that way. Allison has the gift of age and lots of time to mature to the role...she is not Miley..she is more versitle...I think she'll be around for some time.

Matt wasn't a surprise but we were hoping it was going to be Adam to go home. There is no doubt the boy can sing, but he's getting old. All his songs sound alike. We're just waiting for him to come out in KISS make-up.....

He needs to go start his career for the people who like that kind of music.

I have liked Adam from the start, however, his music style has become "same ole" as the weeks have gone by. I truly feel that Danny has what it takes to become a star- with much lasting power! Chris would be my second choice for staying power!

Of course, they put Adam in the bottom two for drama (though, as much as i love to watch him, the tongue thing he did at the end of his song kind of grossed me out) what i want to address is how they humiliated Danny for the maid's bill! wow, was that a joke GONE WRONG. how mean!

Adam needed to be humbled a little.
Danny and (what's her name again?) needed the confidence boost.
Matt headed for big career? Maybe he open for Taylor Hicks.

I liked Matt, but I like Allison and Kris better. I am looking for a Kris and Allison one and two in either order. Adam is talented, but I just don't like that kind of music, I can't sing along with him, if you get my drift. If he wins thats okay with me. I have no idea what people hear in Danny. I was very disappointed to see him in the top two. Allison was stunned to be in the top two and I was terrified for Kris. I was sold on Kris when he sang "Falling Slowly". I loved that song. I am hoping to see Danny go next week. I think Danny is a Taylor Hicks singer. To tell you the truth, I am sick to death of the judges pimping this year and that is going to make me vote for Allison and Kris for 2 hrs straight.

I wish it had been Adam. Though he is a wonderful singer he belongs on Broadway. His songs all sound the same to me. Though I could enjoy hearing him sing one song I could never listen to an entire album....ouch. Like I said...he belongs on Broadway. As for Matt....they all have to go but one

Adam is the most interesting to watch in performance, and may even have the best vocal control and technical ability, but I wouldn't want to listen to his album. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Think "Celine Dion" with black nail polish. It's like being the most exciting and talented bagpipe player in the world.

While I'm definitely not a fan of Adam, what happened last night was a fluke. His fans got complacent and didn't vote. Next week he'll sail through.

I am sick of the Adam hype – he is a performer not a singer

Of the 4 left I would buy labums by Allison and Kris, the other 2 are just kind of ok – and I like Danny better than Adam as well

Kris will make it. He reminds me of a singer like Jack Johnson. He'll make it.

I don't believe Adam was in the bottom 2 I think it was a plot,no way could he not win,he just takes your breath away when he sings.
He has to be the best ever, and hopefully people will see that.

Adam...by far is light years better than anyone else on that show!!! His voice is freakin ridiculously awesome...He stands out like a sun casting major shadows over the others...seriously...he should leave Idol...he's way above that cheesiness...Adam Lambert Rox! Vote next week everyone!

Adam Lambert in the bottom three? Whaat??? I am an American Idol voter and so far have only voted for Kris Allen because I think he should be number two. Adam Lambert is the definite winner this year and he is so incredibly, insanely talented and consistently mind blowing that I haven't voted for him, assuming he is getting the majority of the votes. Not anymore. VOTE America!! Adam Lambert apparently needs our votes. You need patience and persistence to get through on the phone lines, but can you imagine how you'd feel if Adam does not win?? OMG! That is just wrong. There. I feel better now.

Matt was my hottie from K-Zoo! I loved him... Kris looks like he has something wrong with him when he sings... Like his face is partially paralyzed. REAL WEIRD! I am totally for Danny or Alison winning. Either of them would be great.... Just not Adam... He will be famous without Idol! Kris for sure needs to go next week for sure. I can't bear to have another week with his weirdo face on my TV screen...

sorry to see matt go hard decision this year although DANNY GOKKEY ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Matt going was no surprise – he was already voted off once, the "save" was wasted on Matt, which is unfortunate especially if Allison is voted off next week. The final 2 should come down to Gokey and Allison. Adam is freakish and has a screaming, whiny voice, a lawnmower is more pleasing to listen to at this point. He'll make the top 3 but I don't think he belongs in the top 2. It all boils down to who would be the most successful singer on the stage and in selling albums. Allison, in my opinion, has the best chance at a successful music career, any of the contestants would fade rather quickly even if they won. Gokey is a talented singer but very forgettable (not unique). Then again, several American Idol winners have had short-lived or non-existent music careers. Allison is barely 17 but carries herself and performs on stage as if she's been singing for 20 years. Her voice is extremely well-trained and she has nearly perfect pitch. The dark, raspy, but powerful tone of her voice would make her wildly successful in the rock or pop music genre.

Adam does not impress me. He's not bad, I'm not saying that. But I don't care for him. I don't like his screeching falsetto. I think he's en entertainer and belongs back on Broadway, not the mainstream music scene. I wouldn't buy his CD.

I think that Danny is boring and though he has good vocals, I find nothing exciting about him. I'd rather watch water boil.

I think Allison has great vocals but I don't like her lack of diction. When I can't understand the words to a song (which unfortunately is fairly common place in today's pop music) it irks me.

I think Kris (spell it right people) has really come a long way and has improved a ton. I think he has a great voice and I would buy a CD of his.

I was very sad to see Matt go. He was a great musician and vocalist. Unfortunately too many of you people saw him as a JT wannabe instead of appreciating what he can actually do. He does look a bit like JT especially with his hat. But it's sad that you people have automatically discredited him just b/c you think he looks like someone else.

Matt was my choice to win but since he's gone, I think it should be Kris or Allison who wins. Although... if Adam wins, he'll never make it as the AI contract will restrict what he can do and then maybe we won't hear from him again... ok maybe he can win...

COME ON!!Adam is the best talent that place has seen in a while-so versatile and makes EVERY song his own. Is he showy?YES but that is what a PERFORMER is!!! Alison is very good for someone so youg but her voice is a one trick pony and love Danny, but the same there!!

I cannot believe that Adam ended up in the bottom three. He has so much talent. He is already a star. What's going on? Hope he will finish first. Can Canadians vote?

Paule

Ottawa, Canada

Jason you are right on. Kris is the only true artist in every sense of the word out of the 4 remaining. That is why all of the mentor's are so into him. I think he will win, but even if he does not he will go further than any of the rest of them. He is awesome. This is Adam's ticket to Broadway. He has tried for years to get there and he will finally get there. That is where he belongs.

I think Matt had his best performance this week. Obviously America didn't think that, but somone had to go. It's to the point where you don't want any of them to leave, but they have to.

I was suprised about Danny being in the top.... I thought he would be in the bottom three. I was also suprised about Adam being in the bottom three (although I don't really like his style. He has amazing talent and is a great performer, I just don't really like him)

I'm so SICK and tired of Adam Lambert and his theatrics! I can't believe the judges let him get by with his "cruise ship" entertainment week after week. And if it is possible, he is even more arrogant than Simon! He schreeches and misses notes, and no one until last night ever seems to notice. People wake up! There is a reason why this guy has been in theater for the last two years!!! America got right on last night.

YES! there is a God and its name is fairness

I'm a huge Matt fan, probably because I live in Michigan, and I just love him to death.
I had my fingers crossed for Adam to go home for one reason: hes too predictable, I'm getting sick of hearing screechy, screamy stuff from him, he needs to back from where he came from, the understudy on WICKED .
sorry adam fans, but i can't stand him. i hate him, every time he comes on the tv, i change the channel.

AI should be should hang their head in shame and Ryan Seacrest should get the boot. What an annoying evening – making a contestant choose sides?? What was that all about?? Love or hate Adam, he adds unprecedented flavor and excitement to the show. He has the most talent of any Idol contestant EVER and to those who spew all that hatred – you obviously don't have the capacity to be objective. No one minds you voting for your favorite or posting your support for them but posting nasty comments about other contenstants only shows your lack of character. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all – your grandma should have tought you that!!!
Go Adam – you will have an amazing career ahead of you even if you don't win the worthless Idol crown.

Danny definately rocked the house Tuesday night but Adam in the bottom 2? Is this for real? They all have talent or they would not be where they are but Adam not being able to make it into the final would be a major upset.

I think it was Matt's time to go. If Adam goes home early, it'll probably be better for his career. I think the Top 4 are the Right 4. America got it right.

This isn't a big surprise. I love Adam but I predicted he would be in the bottom two last night...and why? Because every single year Idol has to have what we call the "water cooler" show. They either vote off or put the obvious front runner into the bottom two position to get people talking and drum up more attention. This happens EVERY season and every year it reaffirms that I feel the show is fixed. They wanted the drama of Adam in the bottom two but they're not stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot and send him home as he is the reason to watch the show this season. You watch...next week he'll be in the top 3 and safe. Wake up people. If you've watched Idol every season you know this show is going to happen around the #4 to #6 spots. This isn't a surprise if you've paid attention. Adam hasn't even seen the bottom three of any week yet, he's the top seller on ITunes and on this blog he gets three times the number of comments than any other contestant. Bottom two? Yeah right. Sadly predictable.

Well could it be that people are going to wake up and finally get Adam voted off! Goodness I certainly hope so, he is so lame, all he does is screech!!! I am so sorry that Matt had to go. I think he is very talented and I am hoping that someone will sign him up! I love Kris, Allison, and Danny but I think it will come down to Danny and Allison in the final show. As long as Adam is out I really don't care who wins as they are all talented.

Those who think Matt did well this week are completely tone deaf. Completely. He missed more notes than he hit, and seemed off-tempo much of the song. The only thing he didn't do was screw up the lyrics. Adam should win it all, since he's by far the most talented.

Frankly I was never impressed with Matt and even less so when he sang "My Funny Valentine" in farewell. It was freakishly laboured. Adam is a star already and I dont know that IDOL title can help him very much....he's already gotten what he needed: the exposure to America. He doesnt need anything more than that to fill concert venues. HE IS A STAR.

I think Alison needs the boost more than anyone and I think it will be well placed if she earns the title AMERICAN IDOL.

Danny is wonderful but reminds me too much like the guy who was sung last night who won the title a few seasons ago....what's his name again?

This show HAS to be rigged!
There is no way Adam should have been in the bottom three.
Producers always have control and they wanted drama and to stun people. I completely agree that all 5 of the contestants are talented, but Adam is in a different league.

I was crossing my fingers Adam would go. I hope he doesn't win this. It is so fixed with the judges always saying how he is the best. Don't they think we can hear?

I really don't care who went home. I'm just THRILLED that Allison wasn't in the bottom 3...which means that Simon's CONSTANT attempts to sabotage her after the other judges rant and rave about her talent, landed on deaf ears. She is such an amazing talent...the only reason that I continue to watch the show at this point...and I REALLY hope she makes the final show. Sadly, it won't happen.

I would have to agree with those that have stated that this year's AI contestants are definitely leaps and bounds above the last few years' finalists. People....please keep in mind that because this is an open vote (vote as many times as you'd like) this is not a contest that is totally based on talent, but popularity which means that the best vocalist will not always win.

Anyone that has followed the music industry and AI, over the years, will be happy to inform you that it is not always based on who is the most talented vocally. There are very few recording artists now that have longevitity because of the way the industry is structured towards youth. They can take a hot new artists, make big bucks, then discard them for a new younger version and pay the new artist less money....more profits for the record companies. That is why so many of them sound exactly the same.

Yes it was Matt's time to go. And i was happy to see Adam in the bottom. Finally people are not blinded by the judges and his screaming. All the teen girls voting for him have to realize that some people do not like his screaming and tongue. Now, if they could not have him close the show EVERY week, i would be very happy. It is so unfair that others go first and Adam always goes last. Get over him. He is not a the best singer but a very good actor/entertainer for a band or Broadway.

The only thing that I wished that could have been different about last night's show is that BOTH Adam and Matt went home! Darn it!!!!!

From the results it looks like pretty much everyone agreed that Adam was too dramatic! Noone wants to see him sing DRAG style!

Probably next week's genre will do him good.....Darn it again!!!

In regards to Adam, I am much older than he is, therefore I can compare music styles in more than two generations. I have to say this I have never seen, especially in this day in age a more talented, cool, "suave" versatile individual ever! He is what we should go back to in music! He loves his "rock and roll" but he can do it it all!!! Go for it Adam! I"m positive you are on the way. PS, Don't let fame get the best of you! Kristen Dolan, Beaufort NC.

Last night has done it for me… Too MUCH DRAMA!! How DARE you place ADAM in the same company as the bottom losers? If Adam goes home I WILL NEVER WATCH YOUR UGLY SHOW AGAIN!! Keep your head high Adam… YOU ROCK BABY!! Your FANS will always be there… Can’t wait until your tour comes to Virginia Beach!!

The producers do not fake that. they have to go by the number of votes, that's who goes in the bottom three. It's never random!

YES!

Finally, all of you Adam worshippers see that not everyone loves the cheese!

This group IS a better group than last year BUT I think the only real surprise stand out for me is Kris. The rest are just to Gimmicky for me...sure they have talent but always seem to me put the same spin on everything they do. I still don't get why Allison is still in the running ..sure she has unique voice but she still lacks alot of control with it......

SIDE NOTE: Does anyone have suspicions that since Lil Rounds and Anoop were voted off that the contestants have been told who was going home. Lil Rounds didn't look surprised (neither did her family who have always been vocal) and Anoop didn't look surprised in the slightest. Now emotional Matt doesn blink an eye and sings his final song better than the night before...I think somethings rotten in Denmark here...

Would have liked to see Adam go. This is a very talented group.

FINALLY! Now that the votes are split up from ousted contestants, people are seeing and appreciating Allison's talent. This girl is one of the top singers Idol has ever come across. Simon is crazy to tear her apart every week. She will sell songs on Top 40 without a problem, she is also bilingual and will tap the hispanic market a la Jennifer Lopez. With some fashion coaching, and the maturity that comes from getting over the teen years – she will eat the stage up. She can sing ANTYHING! She has never had a bad performance – and she gets better every week.

I wish Adam would go away and return to Broadway. Theatrical "rock" is his strong point – can you imagine listening to a whole album of same-ol-same-ol screaming? That won't stay on radio very long, nor continue to sell multiple albums after the teenyboppers grow out of their crushes.

Adam is getting on my nerves. I didn't care for his last performance and I, definitely, wouldn't buy his CD. He doesn't appear the type of performer that will "age" well either. I can't picture him recording at 40. Gokey is finally pushing himself. I'd like to see him win. I can't picture Kris or Allison in the final two.

If Adam gets voted off, I won't watch to see who wins this season. He is the only reason I have been tuning in lately, and I hate it when he has the last spot because I have to watch the whole show just to hear him sing.

Don't get me wrong, I think all of the remaining contestants deserve to be there and there is only a small margin for error at this stage of the competition, but Adam keeps me interested.

Total shocker!! If Adam is voted off, there is no reason for me to watch or record the show. For me, the others just aren't that interesting.

All of you ADAM fans...pick up the phone and vote EARLY and OFTEN!

It is down to four, and it looks like Adam and Danny showdown; but, Kris could surprise everybody. Adam deal is big voice and drama, that can go only so far, Danny is good, but not appealing as for his look. I think standards is good nitch for him. Allison is rock chick, and that gets boring like a one note somba. It was nice to taylor hicks perform, he is much better than those counted him out as a loser of Idol winners. The be disappointment was Rupert...his R&B was old school and boring.

Matt was always my favourite. To me, he was the most interesting singer, the only one I would buy an album from. Although I do really like Allison's voice as well. Danny and Kris bore me, and I'd love to see Adam on Broadway. Hopefully Matt comes out with something soon that shows what a true talent he is.

It was time for Matt to go, probably Kris/Chris next week.....We at our house are hoping that Adam sings a Elvis song next week, he looks so much like THE KING.

Now we are thinking that Adam was in the bottom 2 because there is a pic out on the Net showing him kissing/smooching with another "man", gasppppppppppppp, say it aint so!!! Of course it is a probability....alot of peeps don't like the see it or think it's possible....

Somebody NEEDS to assist Miss Allison with her STAR LOOK, she needs to dress her age and not try to be somebody she's not.....it does look like somebody toned down that hair color, THANK GOD...

The last 2 standing, in the end, will probably be Adam and Danny and it will be a close one on who the winner will be, they are BOTH wonderful singers...

Where are the Gokey fans! Come on – I thought cause he GOT THE VOTES that I'd see more comments on him. I love his voice and he's never missed a note. He's working harder than anyone to define himself as a performer and doing a great job. I love Allison. I like Adam, but that last performance when he hung out his tongue, I thought I'd puke – or he would! That was TOOOOO Mick and Tommy Lee for me. He was trying to win the 'Paula' vote on that one. You see where that got him. He needs to keep it toned down and not in your face drama to make it. GO GOKEY!!!! P. S. I'm a grandma, and not quite a baby boomer and my time was spent voting for Danny : )

I was shocked to see Adam placed in the bottom 3.

I DO NOT BELIEVE that he was actually in the bottom three. I believe that Adam is the VERY BEST ARTIST within the competition...and his excellence (brilliance) showed up right away and has only grown each week.

It makes me wonder if there is manipulation for "shock value". To me, after Adam sang the first time, I felt the show had the winner.

I pray that Adam will not somehow be taken out of first place for the sake of the dynamics of the show.

This is my ratings: #1 Adam, #2 Danny, #3 Kris, #4 Alison. ADAM is heads and shoulders beyond the rest in artistry and ability in my opinion.

I loved seeing Adam in the bottom 2! Made my night. I had a feeling Matt would be going home last night, even though he was my favorite. Out of the bottom 5, I would only buy Matt's album.

I cannot believe how many gullible people there are out there. A PR stunt from Fox gets everyone to claim how they will not watch the show if Adam is gone and they cannot believe he was in the bottom two. HELLO? Do you people have lives? Who cares that much, seriously? Adam is going to win (yuck!) and AI has to do these cheeseball things to keep the sheep tuned into its corny hour-long results show! How many teenagers knew those 70's performers last week? Cut the results show back to 30 minutes!

My friends – WHO CARES?????

Oh, and Adam looked like a tool last night when he picked the group he thought he deserved to be in. Why would you pick? I would refuse to. Totally disrespectful to his "friends".

A little surprised that Adam was in the bottom three but not shocked until he was in the bottom two....whoa! Adam was getting a little cocky...nothing like a reality check. I really thought it would be Allison in the bottom two. I think she was shocked but none the less I think America got it right. Matt is good but someone had to go. Really enjoyed seeing Natalie Cole and Taylor Hicks last night.

Matt probably would have done better had he been himself, instead of attempting to be a Justin Timberlake look alike. He was singing through his nasal cavitity and wouldn't open his mouth and really sing which I always hoped he would.

is this show still on??? what will it take to finally get rid of it? a lumberjack match between randy, paula, simon, theodore, and the rest of the chipmunks? god please let it end! and take the rest of these horrible shows with them including anything remotely "reality" based!!!!!!!!

I am a 81 year old WASP, not too musically inclined. But Adam is head and shoulders the best. Perhaps rumors of bisexuality hurt-also I don;t like the fact he is already a proffesional-but on pure "showbiz" he's by far the best (shocked he was almosr eliminated) Lee Williams

It has been set up since day 1 that Adam is gonna win. So why is anyone still watching?

I think last night's result show was fixed. The producers thought the show was starting to get boring and decided to spice it up a little by putting Adam in the bottom three.

I wasn't shocked Adam was in the bottom two. Think about it, Lil and Anoop's former voters aren't going to change over to Adam fans. Also, what was up with his cockey attitude last night! Seriously, I didn't care for him before and I definetly don't like him now. Ryan pulls that pick your group stunt on someone every year, and every time the person refuses to pick. He picked who he thought were the top two because he was so sure he was safe..... What a jerk move....

I know it was going to be Matt or Kris but it sure was nice to see ADAM in the bottom three. His screaming attempt to singing will not prevail and maybe it knocked his cockyness down a notch. This is how I would like it to play out

Out next Kris, Adam, Alison and GOKEY wins.

I so agree with Stephen..........the most talented does not always win, but that is okay (maybe even better) because they are not bound by the AI contract for a year. Even if Adam doesn't win, he is going to have one heck of a career..............sorry to all those 'Adam haters' out there who don't like him just because he has confidence. He has more talent in his little finger than Matt and Kris put together – but we can't forget that this is just not a talent contest obviously.

I think AI – the public got it right.

While Adam is really a talanted person – not everyone likes that type of sound. Some songs are really good and some I want to turn off.

Danny has a lot of talant also and I have enjoyed all of his songs.

Kris may not be able to do the rock, punk or rap. But he is talanted

Allison is als good but again some people get tired of the whole rocker thing.

I think any of these 4 could back it to the final 2 and I think all of these will get some type on contract.

But my final 2 picks are Danny and Kris.

While some think this ifs fixed..... keep in mind that each time a contest goes home that persons votes go somewhere else and it is most likely they go to a person that sings they same way. A person that votes for Matt might not vote for Adam but might vote for Danny, Kris or Allison.

Of course the whole Adam in the bottom 2 thing was fixed. AI just wants to increase the hype. And really, should Adam be allowed to win? Theater and Broadway are his profession after all. How about the regular folks like Allison and Gokey. Give them a chance

Matt was my fave so now my votes will go to Alison. Love both of those and would buy their albums. Matt has been my fave from the beginning.

I don't for a minute think that it was a fabrication by AI for Adam to be in the bottom two. People either love him or hate him so not surprising at all for him to hit the bottom. Think about it–where do you think the votes that were going to Anoop and Lil went? They certainly did not go for Adam! He is a very talented performer but this is as much a popularity contest as it is talent contest. I for one think he belongs on Broadway or somewhere that his theatrics will be more appreciated.

It was a shock to me and I am sure many others to see Adam Lambert in the bottom three.

I believe that some times when we are heading to the last finalists. we all tend to think that our "favorite" is safe, because he has always been, and cast a few votes and we all assume he will be automatically safe the next day when the results post.

Well, make sure you vote for your favorite or else, he can leave!! this goes for Adam Lambert.

I was sure that Alison was leaving or Matt. Never tought she would be safe.

AI FIXED? Could be or not? Remember BO Vine and Dougherty got cut too and they should have both made it further than they did if not won their seasons.

I have been reading comments and many are against Adam because of his tongue. I have never saw him use it on the show. Yes, I saw him use it on You Tube and other pictures but not on the show. I think some people are against the guy due to his previous reputation not what he has done on the show. I hear how he has previous experience so he should not even be on the show, well others have had that also like Constatine M. who was on Rent and others. Bottom line: this is the show and all should be judged for how they perform on the show. Adam is not going to win because there are to many against the guy for his personnel life but he is the best on the show. Too bad!

This contest has become a travestry of justice. I KNOW people who are against Adam got together and friends to try and get him off and I believe this to be so and it is wrong. We all have our right to opinions but do it with honesty not deception people. I like Matt and he is okay and I belive will get better in time and age. I truly can't BELIEVE Kris was not chosen, he is nice and a fair singer but has no gusto with his songs, very dragged out and boring and Allison is good but she also should not have been saved and Danny is okay and playing on the sexy voice Paula has put into fans heads but he also should not have been saved. Well, whatever will be will be but my decision and vote now is disappointment and disgust.

My take on this Idol season is that these last five Idol contestants are each great, but I still believe that Adam Lambert will be our next American Idol. My heart sank a bit when Ryan announced that Adam was in the bottom 3 – how could that have happened, I wondered? This morning I am convinced that Adam's fans didn't vote and assumed that he was going to be the next AI no matter what – well, that's why we vote so that we can keep our choice on top! Take heart, Adam...we will vote in great numbers next Tuesday and I am looking forward to the show and your choice of song for Rock and Roll week! (this should be sweet!). Congrats to Matt...he is very very good...bye for now....still rockin' with Adam....:-)

I fully believe Matt deserved to go weeks ago. He has some talent but only as a JT wannabe. It was so annoying that Allison did such a great job yet again and Simon managed to cut her down again on something not even really related to the performance. I am very glad it was Matt not Allison. Also, Adam is mad talented no matter what anyone says. He is a true professional already and will go far no matter what...I think people assumed everyone was voting for him so didn't bother voting. Go Adam! Take out Corney Gokey!

I am way over Adam's tongue! I am way over his believing that he has to screech at some point in almost every song he sings. He no doubt has talent – very much talent – but he is too "polished." I like him, but I don't worry about his future. He'll be fine and will go places, probably in a hurry thanks to his national exposure from AI.

Kris, on the other hand, is an all-around true musician. Songwriter, musician and singer. But most people don't appreciate that. He's just a regular guy trying to get a chance in the music industry via AI. Same as Danny, just a regular guy with a great voice hoping magic happens for him as a result of his AI experience.

Alison is 17 and incredibly talented, but she's 17! She'll have her turn, no doubt! I just don't think it's time for her yet.

Um, Kris and Adam are the only two Idols who are actually charting when it comes to digital downloads. A glitch on iTunes revealed by accident that Adam's cover of "Mad World" was the best-selling single of 2009 (to date).
I was shocked that Adam was in the bottom 3 (or even 2). He is by far THE best signer out of the group, with Allison a close second. Kris could be one of the best artists, however, on the show. Danny is totally overrated. He's the new Taylor Hicks. No one will but his record! Being well-liked doesn't translate into sales. What would that record even sound like? Hopefully NOT like his dreadful cover of "Endless Love".
I would love to see either a Adam/Allison finale or a Adam/Kris finale.
Don't assume Adam is and will be safe America. Vote for him!

I want Adam to go home. Anoop would have been great with the Big Band sound!

Adam simply is not in the mainstream of America. I don't care where you line up liberal or conservative, most men don't where black eye shadow and nail polish. Some people sing and some people scream. I prefer the "sing".

America made the right choice. Matt is decent, but he should have been axed back when he was up to go the first time.

I think Allison is still there because she has style and raw talent. I think Kris is there because he knows who he wants to be in terms of a recording artist. And obviously Adam is there because he's got what Allison and Kris have got... and then some. But Gokey? I just don't see the appeal. He should go next.

I'm not sad to see Matt go. Did you hear him singing at the end? Cringe. I was emabrassed for him. Frankly, I do not understand why they used the save on him. I don't know how he went home before Anoop and Lil. Not any of those three would have won, but still. Matt's such a nice guy, but he always was just a truly mediocre singer. Sorry.

Was Adam actually in the bottom two? Pretty shocking considering that everyone assumed he was the frontrunner all the way. Maybe not?Next week will be very interesting...

for a moment, I thought maybe Adam would go home. That would have been so nice.

To begin, I was not surprised that Matt went home last night. I thought the judges were wrong for saving him in the first place. He is a decent singer, but they have much better artists in this competition that might need that save in the next two weeks. As for his career, I do believe he could have a very good career if he would just let go and perform. He is too stiff and doesn't seem to have much confidence. He is not a consistent vocalist either.

As for Adam, I don't care for him either. I hoped that he would go home in all honesty. He sings great, but his whole screaming and 'emo' act drive me crazy! If he would drop that, I would LOVE him. I think that he knows, somewhat, who he is, but he is overplaying himself for the audience. He also needs to become comfortable in his own skin.

Karen is so right. That stunt they pulled on Adam was pointless and downright mean. I felt very disappointed by the whole thing. Absolutely no way Adam was in the bottom two. Matt should have been gone a while ago. He's quite average in every way.

I was really hoping Adam was going home last night. I think he is a very overrated singer, but a good performer. Based on voice, I believe Danny Gokey is the best singer in the contest and there really isn't anyone who are close to his level.

At this stage in the game they all have talent and a great chance of having a wonderful career, my vote though is for Adam-he has the "it" factor.

American Idol has blown their cover. If we haven't thought they rigged the show i can believe they do now. There is NO WAY that Adam was in the bottom two. it is a scam to make sure he wins so they get more money when his album goes big. ehtical? no. smart. hell yeah.

I was a little surprised that Adam was in the bottom 2. I don't think Adam belongs in this competition. Does he have talent – YES. Is he marketable – NO. I think it was either Matt or Chris's time to go home. Next week it will be Chris going home and the following week (God willing) it will be Adam going home. I am torn between Danny and Allison. They are both great and both should win.

There is a God! Finally got rid of Matt – he was so "pitchy" most every song that I couldn't stand it. Ridiculous.
I knew Fox would pull some trick to either keep Adam from winning (they still may have that as a goal) or keep people "worried" and watching til the end. This is pathetic on their part and maybe it is all "crooked" and they "make" the winner they want and the one that will make them the most money in the end. Sad, because millions of people enjoy this show so much. But what can the viewers do? Are we all being "duped"? Reminds me of the old game shows that were found to be "fixed"!!!
Go Adam! He's soooooo fabulous, unique and a joy to watch.

I do believe they tried to sucker us in by placing ADAM in the bottom 2...but take heart, he's still in there and going strong. I love Allison and Danny, but ADAM's got real talent and is head and shoulders above the rest. Some don't like his style and that's their opinion. Everyone has an opinion and they can't all be the same.

ADAM – You are very talented and entertaining and I look forward to your next performance. ROCK US OUT next week...make us believe it and leave us wanting more! I wish they'd do an Elvis week – you would be outstanding for sure.

ALLISON – Rocker chick – it's gonna be a great week for you...so let 'em have it! It's perfect for you and I'm sure you will be great!

I can't believe AI screwed over Adam like that! He is the best AI in all
7 seasons!

So shady last night...

Adam will win even if he doesn't win idol.
He is the best talent they have ever had on idol. I watched last night and couldn't believe how bad Taylor sounded. They all sound like amateur hour compared to Adam. I think that Alison is the next best.
Danny is too bland. Kris is good but none of them are in Adam's league. So if Adam doesn't win AI loses big time, but Adam will be one of the biggest artist to come out of that show ever.

Not surprised Matt is gone...it wasn't his talent, it was his demeanor. He never seemed to have great confidence and the public picked up the feeling. As to Adam's going home...yeah, I think it's possible. He comes off just a little too much as a professional in an amateur contest...my money is on Kris or Danny, with Allison as the dark horse, but you know what's happened to my money recently.

I am not an Adam fan. He really acts like he has it in the bag. He seems kind of creepy to me. I don't really know if it's his jet black hair or blue tinted contact lenses.ewwwwwwwwww. I just think he is way too full of himself and has an attitude that just bugs me the entire time he is singing....maybe it's the intense reptile eye look...where he never blinks??

I think Adam has awesome talent but needs to go home. All of his songs sound exactly the same. And Danny can quit singing songs to his dead wife. And Allison is just a little early for the career she will have. So Kris is the winner!

Calling it right now, Adam is singing GnR next week. He sounds to much like Axl not too...

If Kris wins I'm going to throw up. It's got to be one of the other three or I will absolutely throw up!

Kris all the way. I was hoping Adam was going home to his local theater last night.

Lastnight was a lot of drama which Idol loves to do since it's interesting...they NEVER do bottom 3 at this stage it's always bottom 2 so they threw adam in as the 3rd to freak people out it was clear he wasn't going anywhere I don't think it was a lie I believe he probably got the 3rd lowest votes but guess what there's 5 people so he was also the 3rd highest...it's definitely surprising allison got more votes than him but i'm excited because she's awesome & deserves to make the finale...i agree with what a lot of people said about kris not being as talented as the rest (he said himself tuesday nite he doesn't think he can outsing any of them & he was right)...matt is amazingly talented & was very underrated this season he absolutely deserved the save & also deserved to make it at least to the top 4 but alas kris allen is prettier & got more votes so matt is done for now but he's definitely not done for good i'd buy his album in a heartbeat...now all of my support is behind allison!!

I wish I could vote someone off instead of just voting for someone. Then maybe Adam would be gone. The guy has talent but is too busy playing dress up to let me know who he truly is as an artist.

Here's how I decide who I like from show to show. First off, I record the show. During the live performance I close my eyes and listen to their voices because when it comes down to it, we will buy cds based on how they sound, not how they look or perform. Given this, every week I really enjoy Adam's voice and Allison's. Then after i cast my votes I watch Idol for the performance aspect and get to fast forward through commercials. Now you all know that when an "artist" gets into the studio all the pitchiness is corrected electronically. It's only revealed when a singer has to perform live. There are many many "artists" out there who really can't sing worth beans but they are good in the studio and are creative enough to make it.

I feel the last 3 contestants should have been Matt, Adam, and Danny. I like Chris, however Matt is a better artist than Chris. This is why it is very important to vote. Adam is the best artist out of all of the contestants, and he has been consistently a great performer througout the entire season. I can say this because from watching the show I have learned what they mean by an artist vs. a singer. When Adam comes on stage, he manages the affects (i.e. the lighting, dramatic entrances), the arrangement (the band), and his singing is very good. His music is not my type (except when he sang Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson), but he definately is a professional singer. Although the other contestants are great, and I like them, but Adam os really the best artist on stage overall. Every single week Adam has been consistent, therefore Adam deserves to win and be the next Amerian Idol.

It cracks me up when people imply that the only ones who like Kris are hormonal teenagers! I may be hormonal, but I'm far from being a teenager and I think his only problem Tuesday is he went first.

Allison is the one who's overrated, imo. I usually like the rocker chicks, but her diction is horrible and her voice breaks all the time. I don't get the love.

Adam and Kris in the finale!

I picked Matt on Tuesday when it was announced that he was singing My Funny Valentine. There is something about that song.

But – for about 10 seconds I held my breath thinking maybe just maybe Adam could be the one. Wishful thinking, because of course he wasn't. Not that I don't think Adam has a good voice, but he is so OTT and theatrical that he is to fakey for me.

I'll take Kris or Danny any day. Matt I hope you do land somewhere, because you can sing.

Adam does need to go home, he already has something going on

Matt, it was bound to happen. Nice person, just not even close to top ten material.

Now, if only Adam would go next. I would love watching Idol so much more without Adam!

Seriously Adam in the bottom two? This proves the show is rigged for ratings.

I would buy an album from Matt. I'm not really surprised because American Idol is not a singing competition and the real pure singer never wins. (Melinda Dolittle anyone?) I know this because I tried out last year and made it to the second round, the Producer was very clear when he said "We aren't trying to sign you to a record label we are trying to make good TV, this isn't about music."

So the good story (Danny Gokey) and the drama (Adam Lambert) will always win out because most Americans aren't singers or musicians so they vote for what they like personally and in our country we are preconditioned to drama and good stories, its why TV and Movie stars make so much money, because we pay them.

Anyway, sorry to see you go Matt but you will sell many albums, your style is one that many people like. And yes, Adam should have been in the bottom 3 because lets face it, its getting a little old. You don't have to be over the top Adam, we think you are talented anyway.
I think I might stop watching next year because I get too into it ha ha.

The previous posts say it all. All these people who say "I spent an hour voitng for...(insert your choice here)." Idol has never been a fair competition based on talent, it's all about creating public perception and the almighty ratings. You have the same people voting over and over to get their favorite ahead. They should go to a one vote per contestant per phone line/e-mail if it were actually to be a fair compettion.

In case you were wondering, Allison is my favorite, but as long as Adam doesn't win I'll be happy. I would love to see Allison & Kris square off for the win, but in reality it will probably be Allison vs. Adam.

Adam has it all.....and should win the competition. They're all very good but they just don't have the complete package that Adam has. Regardless if he is voted off he WILL be the most successful.

The following have been my final 4 since about week 10 (easy to say now). Here's my take on the next 3 weeks:

Allison needs to get rid of the braces. They are screwing up her word pronouncement. She also is a bit of a one trick pony. Every song has a hold note with rasp in it where she bends it down. Good singer but she's home next week. (prediction #4).

Adam is technically the best singer but has the most annoying of voices. Every time I watch I feel as though I am listening to some hair metal band from the 80s. Seriously do you want to hear screaming on your radio all day? (prediction #3)

Danny sounds too much like Michael Bolten. Technically a good singer, but who really wants to listen to a guy with poor taste in music sing like Michael Bolton? (prediction #2)

Kris is the one to win. He has the best sounding voice – i.e., the one I would not get tired of listening to. I am still waiting for him to sing an Enrique Iglesias song. Unlike his counterpart who does self-indulgent arrangements, Kris's arrangements are creative, pleasant, and well thought out. (prediction: winner)

Not surprised to see Adam in the bottom two- espcially if you read all these comments. I personally think he is the most talented singer thats been on the show in the last few seasons, but he is not for the closed minded. Adam is definitely "California creative- south of Market Street" genre- but oh my gosh- what a voice. His song choice was not a song as familar as the others sang- and the last time he did that (with the sitar number) he was in trouble with votes. I hope he pulls it off with some mainstream song choices (listen to the tip from Taylor Hicks, Adam). He could win the whole show if he just belts out heart rendering ballads that show off his multi-octave range. I honestly think Allison could make it to the finals if she showed up next week as a brunette and looked like the kid in the church choir.

Adam is by far the best contestant out of any that are left. He has the voice, and the stage presents. He is the whole package! If he is not chosen, I hope he lands a HUGE record deal and has a great career doing whatever it is he wants – he is BY FAR the best.

Adam will make a wonderful theatrical performer but he is not the American Idol. I wish that he would have gone home last night so the focus would be off of him and on the rest of the talented singers. I for one am sick of hearing him scream every lyric. I don't believe that we have ever really seen Adam; we have seen characters that Adam plays each week, as any good actor would. But if I were alone with my I-Pod his voice is not the one that I want in my ears. I would listen to Kris any day, all day.

I was not surprised that Matt went home. He is the least charismatic and talented of the five who remained. That is not to say that he is not talented. It is just that this years final five are exceptional in every way. I WAS surprised that Adam was in the bottom two and I don't know that I necessarily believe he received less votes than Chris did.

All of the remaining four are truly gifted artists. Each and every one of them is worthy of winning. Each of them has had glorious moments. They are all on the edge of something very big and very life changing. At this point , though, I would think that Chris might go next.

I do see the final three being Danny, Adam and Allison. After that I think it is a toss up whether you lose Danny or Allison. I see Adam going all the way. But....however it turns out, I am not going to be disappointed.....although, if Adam is not in the final three I will be greatly disappointed.

In the beginning I was voting for Adam and really liked what he sang...now that I've roped by son and husband into watching it with me, I don't feel Adam has performed as well as in the beginning and is not living up to the hype I built for him. We are now big, big Kris fans...

Adam is AWESOME!!! My husband and my daughters think so, too!!! Some of the comments here say he is cocky. He is far from that. I was one that thought Adam had plenty of votes. I voted for him, but voted more for Allison (my second fav). The entire 2 hours!!! Next week ALL my votes will be for Adam. GO ADAM...YOU ROCK!!!!

I was shocked that Adam was in the bottom two. His performance was, in my opinion, the best of the group. Next week will be a great week for Adam with Rock & Roll as the theme. Can't wait for Tuesday night!

Adam Lambert is incredibly talented, gifted in fact. He is a mesmerizing performer with technically expert vocals and a stage presence that can't be beat. I can only say that having experience with the music industry myself, many of the commentators who dislike Adam are completely clueless. Adam is akin to Elvis, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger, many of the top performers because of his presence, his talent and allure. Wait and see. I just think AI made a huge mistake and were rude putting him in the untenable position of having to "choose sides" and by putting him in a group of "bottom three" where he clearly does not belong. It negated so many of the good vibes that Adam has given the country in its current status of economic and societal woe. He is a breath of fresh air and dynamic.

I am from the Sixties and Adam reminds me of Elvis Presley not only in looks, but in his outrageous, flashy performances which contrast with his (seemlingy) sweet, shy personality in person. I thought it from the beginning but have never heard anyone else make the comparison. I LOVE him (AND Elvis....) !!

i am sad that he went home. i like his "JT" like style and his voice. i think he def. has a music career ahead of him. he has talent! the top five is nothing to sneeze at!! i was surpirsed that adam was in the bottom three, but figured that Matt would be the one packing out of the three.

i think he was shedding a tear. awwww......

All I want to say is that Adam Lambert is the next Evis. He is so talanted and so good looking. His smile, his beautiful teeth,the way he walks, he is just an idol already. If he does not win it will not matter. He is going to be a big star.

Anyone (especially the Adam haters) who thought that he was going home last night was delusional. It was another in a long line of AI stunts designed to manufacture "drama." There has never been a contestant on the show who insprires so much love/admiration/awe or "hate" (fear in some cases) like Adam. IMO, Adam was likely the third highest vote getter last night and with five contestants remaining, Idol could have easily gone with a bottom two as it has in other years. Instead they chose to create a "bottom three" scenario with Adam – and to top it off – tell Kris that he was safe before Adam. Watch the playback – Ryan did not say that Adam and Matt were the bottom two vote getters – only that one of them was going home.

I also don't fault Adam for choosing a group BASED on the overall judges feedback from Tuesday night. It's so silly to sit down in the middle of the floor. He's 27 years old – not 17 like Archie or one of the others.

I'm thrilled that we are one step closer to an Adam, Allision and Kris top 3. Each of them are unique talents in their own right and with rock week, I predict Adam and Allision will knock it out of the park. Kris needs to pick a great song and find amp us the "swagger" that works with his laid back singer-songwriter style. It's possible. I hope we say good-bye to Gokey.

I agree with DON'T TRUST IDOL'S RESULTS....I also think they staged Adam in the bottom 3 just to make us watch....who holds Idol accountable for the actual results?

Guess I'm more shocked that Allison was safe. Matt was ok, but not great. Chris is a doll, and so is Adam and Danny. Please gets that smokey voiced Alison off the show and let the competition begin.

I love Matt, and I think he can have a great career if he surrounds himself with the right people. If Kara and Randy keep their word and help him out with some good songs and production, I think he could be great.

If he is one of those people who says, "I'm going to make my music MY way..." then he could end up being short-lived, sort of like Ace Young....

I, too, am sick of Adam's screaming. He's talented, but... I wouldn't buy his records. Matt.... I would buy HIS records for sure.

I am tiring of Adam and Danny. I'm ready for Chris to take it over Allison. The guy is just as talented as the others and he doesn't scream when he sings. Go Chris and Allison!!!! Good Luck!!!!

No surprise that this POPULARITY contest sent Matt home-Americans don't appreciate REAL musicians anymore.

Adam Lambert should not go home. His fan most likely became lax in voting, automatically assuming that he was safe. Don't forget to vote!

Matt should have went home weeks ago. Kris should have went home weeks ago. Adam should not have been in the bottom two. I think he was put there intentionally by the producers to keep interest. He is obviouslly going to be the winner, but the producers want us to think there is a chance he could loose. Anoop should still be here. The top four should have been Adam, Allison, and Anoop, and Danny.

Come on......Let's be true Adam is by far the best.

Matt's aspirations are bigger than his talent.

It's good to hear an insiders perspective (James)
well said! I couldn't agree with you more!

Inevitably, someone has to go home until the winner is chosen. When you have five amazing talents, it is hard to choose who that person is to be. Matt is amazing, but so are the other four. I think that all five of them will have phenomenal careers. As the judges said, they wished it could be a five-way tie; however, there can only be one American Idol per se. As far as I am concerned, they have all proven to American Idols! Good luck to the next four. It will be a fight to the end. Everyone needs to be on their toes from here on out!!

I watch Idol to be entertained. The 2 people who I like to see are Allison and Adam. Like him or not Adam is entertaining. Allsion who may not win because of her youth, has the most promise for a future career.

Can't believe that Adam was in the bottom 3. I think all 5 of these young people have bright futures in the music business. I have discovered itunes, and have pretty much made myself a CD with their music. Way to go all of you, keep up the great work, can't wait for next week.. Rock N Roll...... Still hoping Danny wins, love his whole package...

It should be interesting to see next week's show with performances of Rock. People are expecting the same from Adam, but.... everyone will be watching how Danny and Kris will be handling the music.

I love Allison, but she needs more coaching to connect with the audience. She might just win! My favorite is Danny... I know he is predictable but he has an energy connection. I like Adam, however, I don't like when he screams (he doesn't need to do that). He already has a powerful voice– in fact, he can sing without a mic.

@Lain – Your comments are right on.

Adam is retro Elvis.

It was terrible seeing Adam in the bottom two. He is so exceptionally talented and the best part of the entire show. But fans...we must remember to actually call in and vote for Adam; don't assume he is a shoo-in. Danny Gokey or Adam – either will be excellent, and both have tremendous talent. Can't wait to go to the concert live in my area – hometown of Danny Gokey! I'm getting my tickets the minute they become available. Gotta see Adam in person. WOW.

Ok, Matt is gone: next will be either Allison or Adam....
Now for judges, I really like Kara, and it is time for the drug faced, drooling, mumbling fool, Paula to GO... She very rarely says anything of importance, Simon says he needs an interpreter, we the viewing public need an interpreter. It should be Randy, Simon and Kara ONLY next season...

When you watch an episode of Idol, it's like you watch the contestants perform, then when Adam comes out, you are watching the Adam Lambert show. His is so far above the other performers, there's no comparison. He's in a league of his own. Amazingly talented. His Idol downloads are incredible, especially the one from this week – "Feeling Good". Whether he wins or not, he will be successful, and I cannot wait to buy his CD.
Allison is really good, but she sounds too much like Kelly Clarkson and Pink put together; she has no originality. Danny is pretty good, but always sounds the same to me. Kris has a nice voice, but I cannot stand to watch him – he does too many weird things with his mouth that just creeps me out. Matt was okay, but I honestly don't see how he even made it as far as he did. No surprise to me that he went this week.

Is clear Adam Lambert is the most talented contestants "American Idol" has ever had in the show's eight season run. I think many of the viewers are casting their votes based on sympathy rather than talent. Adam's vocal range and capabilities exceeds everyones expectations with every performance he brings on stage, truly spectacular. He well deserves to win this competiton for he truly is an american idol.

FINALLY! i've been waiting for that guy to go.... he's not bad as some, but he's not as good as the ones he's against now.

Allison stole the show this week.... she did better than Lambert IMO. O.o!

and I've been a Lambert fan since he opened his trap and started hitting those high notes.

I think this years the guys were all pretty great (better than the girls, except for Allison). I would love to see her go all the way because she is so different from most of the females who made it this far. I know people think Adam is the winner - he is good, but he is defnitely all about the "show" (you can tell he performed before). I think Matt was terrific and I was sorry to see him go, but I figured he would be next.

Matt and Adam should be in the final... they are the best...
Too bad Matt was voted out today.... but I think it is the time.. after so many bottom 3 and the save...

indeed, i will buy Matt's record.. no doubt..

btw, no idea why Danny is so popular.. he is so standard, nothing new...

LOL @ chuck.....

you consider Matt a genuine singer that should have stayed??? He's always trying to do too much with no emotional connection. More like candy-coating over a bad taste.

It is too bad Adam didn't get sent off. I won't deny that he has talent, but he is WAY too dramatic, the look he gives when singing is borderline stalker style (and he looks like a fool), and he must find a way to SCREAM in every song with that high pitched, broadway, tongue flailing maneuver. An Allison/Danny final is ideal for idol.

I cannot stand adam. He would make a great theater performer but where would he be on the top 40 list?
I was so excited when I thought he might go home last night.

I am an ultra conservative 46 year old father of four. That said, here are my thoughts...

This has been a fun year for all of us. AI had become a bore since the Taylor Hicks debacle. That's when I lost interest in the show and rarely watched it afterward. This year has been different, these kids have talent.

This kid, Adam, has a voice that is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. You don't think so?..then try and mimic his signature howl yourself. I tried it in the shower and ended up coughing for 43 minutes.

And yes...I had a McCain sign on my lawn.

Just because Adam was shown as number 2 does not mean that Kris had higher votes than him. They said Kris was safe, they could have said Adam was safe. They are manufacturing the allusion that Adam is in trouble so that more people vote for his over the top theatrical performances. Yes, he can sign but boy is he annoying. Don't fall for it America!

If losing Adam means a lot of people quit watching, then enjoy your next few Tuesdays and Wednesdays doing something else. Adam will never be anything other than a stage act in New York. He screeches on every song. Please go away next week.

Here's a question for you: If Adam makes it to the finals they can pick someone who is their idol to sing with. Who do you think Adam will want to sing with him? I'm going with David Bowie, Elton John or Iggy Pop. Thoughts?

I am not an expert on singing, but Allison sounds very off to me, my fiance says the term is 'hoarse'. She does not like that style either.

Danny improved in his stage presence.

My favourite is Adam, I find his singing very precise and controlled, has a uniqueness to his voice that the others lack and his stage presence is way ahaed of the others. The result is an excellent performance.

Regarding his pick which group he would join (Ryan's stupid stunt): I think he picked the group with Allison assuming that is the weaker one. Whichever group he joins is the one with 3 people in it so it was obvious that he is in the bottom three. I beleive he thought Allison was the weakest contestant (based on voice quality) so he picked that group.

Allison may make it to the top 2, but not with her voice or stage presence (her dress made her look fat this week, bad-bad wardrobe choice); but rather with the support of a demographic/gender group I do not want to name. I wish not to make anyone feel bad because they vote by groupthink, they have the right to do that. In fact I actually think Allison could be really great when her voice grows out of that hoarseness.

Adam is sooooooooooo annoying! I can't stand to watch him! He is so over the top theatrical...he belongs on Broadway. And the way the judges just gush all over him as if he were God's gift to music is just sickening. I would never buy any CD he put out there.

Are you people nuts? Kris & Adam are both awesome! Matt didn't
stand a chance. Maybe if he had taken off that stupid hat. Justin T.
He isn't.

Matt needed to go a long time ago. He should not have been saved. Seems like a nice guy, but went off-key every time he sang. Adam was in the Top 3, not the bottom 3. The show did that for Drama. It's always been the bottom 2 when it gets down to 5 people. Not last night. They had to make it the bottom 3 so Adam would be in there and then send Kris to safety before Adam (never using the term "bottom 2" it was always "bottom 3") - all for the drama. Also the number of votes between them was never disclosed as it has been in the past when it's close.

Dosews:

"Adam should have been the one to go home…I’m so sick of his cocky attitude and his tongue! Somebody should have told him Gene Simmons did that shtick already."

He seems like a very nice kid to me. They all do.

and..

(Deep breath) Once more with feeling, Adam Lambert sticks out his tongue to help him reach the high notes. It is a vocal technique and very difficult to master. Love or hate him, as you so choose, most of his fans begrude you not. As for me, personally,this is thee first time I have ever bothered to watch American Idol. I have been watching each week with baited breath (voting, too) and will continue as long as Adam Lambert remains. Peace.

Adam was in the bottom three of the Yahoo poll also.

Adam should have gone home. He screams like a woman and kisses boys. How is that even close to being an American Idol. Kris should have been gone. All I hear people talk about is how the girls like how he looks. Again this is a singing competition. Kris is cookie cutter and average. have you every seen him sing an upbeat song?

Matt should have placed third place behind Danny and Allison.

I am not sure what type of agenda the judges have. But they put Adam as the bottom 2 so his voters would come out next week and support him and the show.

Matt G was not that good. America has it right. The next to go home is that big jawed Kris.... then Allison the American Idol is going to be Danny!

VOTE FOR ADAM! VOTE FOR ADAM! VOTE FOR ADAM!

There's no way Adam was in the bottom three. I think the whole thing was orchestrated for drama because everyone knows the top two are going to be Adam and "someone else." If Adam goes, I stop watching.

Kris and Matt have the most recordable voices... they have versatility and they would sound good as recording artists (Kris is more of a musician/singer Matt is a singer who plays the piano)...

Adam is a performer, not a recording artist

Allison is good

Danny is repetitive... it all sounds the same!

I would much rather have Danny, Allison, or Kris as an "idol" for my grandchildren than Adam. Too much Draaammmaaaa, and it's just going to get worse as he gets more comfortable with his 'fame'.

I think this is an amazing array of talent....probably the best yet for entertainment value....so difficult to make the 'cuts'....but hopefully many of the 'non winners' will get contracts and continue to do what they love and are so great at doing....kudos to all....Sandy in Woodland Hills

I hope that being in the bottom 3 knocked Adam down a peg. I think it was just a gimmick to solicit more votes from the public and propel him into the finals.

Gokey is nothing more than Taylor Hicks. I firmly believe in a short time away from the Idol stage, he will be forgotton by the masses...he is boring, weird, and admitted to copying someone's singing style and if I was Allison, I would get a restraining order with Gokey's name all over it... the still frames of Gokey handling Allison while smearing her with cake, etc. seem wrong ..isn't she underage?? Yeah, Gokey...you must pay the $6000 bill from A.I. ... dopey gokey.

Adam was robbed only because his fan base thought he was safe and were voting for 2nd place.... VOTE FOR 1ST PLACE ONLY!!

I just love how some people are so ready for conspiracy theories. Can't Adam's fans admit that there are actually people who don't like him, that others might like other competitors more than Adam? Reading comments on blogs, that shouldn't be surprising anymore.

Liking someone is a very personal experience/opionion. Aren't other people allowed to have other preferences? I thought this was a free country?

I myself am tired of Adam's performances. Yes, he can sing, yes, he's a great performer, but like someone said, he seems to be a one-trick-pony. I'm also tired of his schreeching. Theater stage would be his best suit. Well, he already is a pro in that area.

And I don't know how reliable the results are as a general opinion, when you can give someone 100 votes from one phone... The fanbase, who gets the most messages in within the 2-hour period decides who wins. Not who America actually considers to be the best.

The Adam Lambert Show! This kind of talent only comes along once in awhile. Yes he may be over the top but when you've got it, flaunt it. It didn't hurt Freddy Mercury, Elton John, etc. And yes, I saw Elton in his first U.S. tour in the late 60s and nobody would believe what that now pudgy ole dude could do on stage including complete audience control, acrobatics on the piano, bringing you to your feet then sitting you down. My hats off to Adam, don't care what his lifestyle is. MY LAST COMMENT: Am I the only on who thinks Danny Gokey looks like Robert Downey Jr.? A younger version perhaps.

Adam is by far one of idols best along with Danny. Alison and her scrathcy voice need to pack up next!!!

ALERT! Listen to the studio version of Feeling Good. Out of this world. Even better than the live version, which I thought was already amazing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Lambert/Glambert/Ms Adam or WHATEVER you wanna call him. WOMEN love him!!!!

Go Allison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Matt. I only started watching when they hit the big stage and he had me at Human Nature. I don't recall thinking he was like Justin Timberlake. I think he has the best all around talent, even if he had a couple of shaky performances. I don't play piano, but I have great respect for anyone who can play like that... So glad the judges saved him. His last two performances sent him off on a high note.

For the person who asked where Elliott Yamin is now, he has an album out next week!

Can't believe people are seriously caliing conspiracy theories about this. So he was in the bottom 2? Is that so shocking? He's not immortal and without flaws. Personally I think he's a one trick pony and should have gone weeks ago. I can't imagine anyone buying a record from him with each song, whether its a ballad, a rock tune, or a pop tune, having that dreaded screech in it. Unfortunately he's only got that screech in his arsenal and I was hoping america would see that sooner.

Unlike everyone else, If he was to actually win, that would cause me to stop watching and just prove that looks win out over talent in a public vote.

im glad adam was in the bottom 3 where he deserved to be. hes a good singer but its the same week after week no change. and his screaming is annoying! people are getting tired of him thats why they didnt vote. hes to cocky and i bet now he will come down a notch. danny is my favorite. and i hope he wins. everyone has different opinions on music so no one will be satisfied if anyone goes home, but you can only have one winner. and those that say adam is the best contestant ever in my opinion is half deaf in one ear and totally deaf in the other.

I felt that it was time for Matt to leave the show, and I admit, I would have been happier had Adam left. I agree he has a great voice, but his theatrics, screaming and sameness have gotten to me. I originally liked him a lot, but he has begun to sound like a broken record; nothing new. Adam is one of those performers you either are head over heels for or can't stand. I don't know whether he will win or not, but I think he needed a little humility to let him know he could get kicked off. He is a pro and that gives him an edge over the others left in the top 4.

Come on, I haven't even been watching the show and know the save wasn't wasted, it just didn't matter much, as according to the rules the save cannot be used once they get down to the top 4. So the results would have been the same at this point anyway, and there would have been no future save option.

There's no comparison; Adam deserves to walk away with the title. If he doesn't, it will be a shame. I was not a fan of his at the beginning of the season, but slowly had to admit that he is the best. I was a Danny fan, but think he cannot begin to compare to Adam, even though I do like Danny a lot too. Like Randy said, this is a singing competition, and Adam is the best singer.

I was disappointed that Adam wasn't kicked off. What a freak.

Tell me, please, Does anyone REALLY care? People need to get a life.

Adam was really in the bottom two because we have to consider that AI voters are NOT musicians and wouldn't know a really good singer from a so-so one. You have to be musically adept to hear that Adam hits about 98% of his notes accurately while the rest are somewhere in the 85%. In short, musicians know that Adam is way way ahead so far as singing is concerned. AI voters are guided by "other factors".

Sorry....I was surprised by the save a couple of weeks ago, and really just didn't think Matt was distinctive enough. However, I do think there were shenanigans last night!

W-H-O CARES!!!!!!!! This show is completely played out. For the love of god lets move on. Writers, guild, yes you, get off your duff and produce something more than this. Take this and Dancing With the Stars and 86 the lot. I would rather watch reruns of Gilligans Island than this crap.

Why does everyone think that AI is rigged? That is so weak. THE people are voting. ARE you voting? And the fans of the ones who have already been voted off...they are NOW voting for someone else. Hmmmm...

AND IF... you read all the comments from this blog there is a LARGE group of people who DONT like ADAM. They put him in the bottom three..and to keep drama high AI let Adam stay behind with Matt. The people voting put him in the bottom three. I can easily believe that. He IS talented but his screech is annoying. Any other comments or news about him being gay or anything else...I could care less. His talent is what I am watching for. He is multitalented and will probably make it in music, drama, and movies. I, for one, will NOT be buying his CD's tho'.

Kris is quirky but has a smooth voice and IF he is writing songs too then he is talented. Danny sounded better last night than he has for the past few weeks. I would compare him more to Eric Clapton than to Michael Bolton. I WOULD buy his CD's.

It was time for Matt to go..and IF Adam does NOT win it won't surprise me.

Once the judges are out of the picture and America takes over the decision making... it is OUR votes that cause what happens. AND you can see enough bickering and differing opinions in this blog to make it clear ANYTHING could happen. Just because YOU LOVE one person in particular to win does not make THAT the person that ALL of America will choose.

For all the folks comparing Adam to Elvis – you really need to have your heads examined. Elvis had more talent in his pinky than Adam will ever have. Elvis fused R&B and gospel to help create rock-n-roll. Elvis had a career that spanned 3 decades and to this day is still referred to as "The King". Elvis influenced countless musicians from all generations. His influence is still felt today. There will never be another Elvis.

And another thing, you never saw Elvis trading spit with another guy.

I dont get why everyone thinks Adam is so great so I wasnt surprised that he was in the bottom 3. I was relieved with my fingers crossed praying that he would be the one to go. I would not call all his shreiking talent by any means. Idol has also been a venue to launch careers of people with something different. Adam is another David Cooke and the last time I checked Idol was not about launching the career of the next rocker. It seems to me if the show is rigged then it has been rigged from the start for Adam to win. It is pointless to waste your time voting if everyone's fate has already been decided by the producers.

This is a very crazy Season, so say the least

I was a little disappomited to not see Adam leave i think he is over rated for sure

He would make a great broadway singer, but he's not a recording artist and people should stop acting so surprised when he makes the bottom 3, there are better singers in this competion

Keep voting America, but espically for Alison

I have 3 words to say: GO ADAM LAMBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's get Adam off. NOW!!!

I actually think Adam has better vocals than Elvis! Elvis didn't have the range Adam has. Adam can sing anything. Elvis, I believe, could not.

Adam Lambert isn't everybody's dream performer.
He's very polished but after the first 8 songs he's a little predictable. Yes he'll perform a song off the expected route but it's not often a "new" take on any song. Each song somes off in a very similar vein as his last. Put a coin in and you get the same kind of performance each time, I don't see his assault on a song as connecting with the audience or displaying actual emotion. He's Barnum.
