If you are a fan of American Idol, cast your vote for your favourite.

You can vote for 2 contestants, and can change your vote if your favourite is voted off.

My favourites are Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta.

Feel free to post your comments about each show and each performance.

I love American Idol, and I have been watching it all season.

I can't even choose a top two yet because I like different ones each week so far!!! They are all so cute and good.

If I were guessing right now---I'd guess the winner will be either Adam or Danny.  But that might change too!  ;)

Who were the ones I liked Shasta? Do you remember?

If you can remember I'll go up there and vote for them! :D

I thought the Motown show was disappointing.

There were too many fast swinging songs, instead of the heavy soul songs which Motown is famous for.

When will the contestants learn to sing songs that the audience wants to hear...when its  Motown show, we expect soul..

I think you liked Matt, David. He is the jazzy, bluesy guy from MN. Jess liked his "Let's Get It On" performance!  :P ;) ;D

Okay, I voted for Matt and Adam. Who's the one from Michigan Shasta? Someone is from Kalamazoo, aren't they? Or was he voted off?

It's Matt who is from Kalamazoo. I said he was from MN.

WELL!!!! I knew it started with an "M" at least!   :D 8) :P


Here is a great page that tells about the ones who are left. Scroll down below the map.

Oh okay. I thought you meant he was from Minnesota. MI is the abbreviation for Michigan. MN is for Minnesota. :)

Maybe you accidently hit the "n" key instead of the "i".

Thanks for that link Shasta.......I think the contestants are more recognisable by their face or the song the sang, rather than their name, at the moment.

Does anyone know what the theme is for next week?

Well, I've deleted Megan Joy....and I think the voters on American Idol got it right.

It wasn't the greatest show this week. I didn't like most of the songs.

I think Adam Lambert is streaks ahead of the rest of the group. He has it all, and he wil be very marketable if he wins.

I love the way he even changes his hair styles. I love the brushed back look he has had the last two performances.

I expected Megan or Anoop to go home. Megan was better at the beginning---she hasn't improved tho, she has gone backwards.

I think Adam is the front-runner, too. He is the only one who both has a good voice and who entertains. The others are starting to get a little predictable.

Adam Lambert's version of Mad World was absolutely supurb.

I was just reading another thread here, about the song Mad World and the arranger and the connection to Donnie Darko...its very interesting.

I think Simon Cowell, giving him a standing ovation was amazing and very much deserved.

We are going to see a lot more of Adam Lambert, there is no doubt about that.
