Why'd you bring your remote control to work??
You know, I figured someone would ask that. Long story.

Yes, she sang "Don't Speak" by No Doubt.
That sounds like it'd be a good choice for her. Thumbup

Quote from ForeverDcember :
I cannot believe that none of the judges mentioned that Allison messed up a ton of the lyrics in the beginning of the song. She is good, but she screwed up there in the beginning.


.. oh and Megan was icky. She is getting annoying. Pretty to look at, but please don't sing. And wtf is up with her getting all cocky with "her fans" voting for her. Ugh.
Iagree

I hate that song from The Fray, but I thought he did good (Matt).
Iagree I missed the first 1/2 of the show, but I thought Matt did great... I was surprised at the judges comments. Who sang 1st? I saw from Danny on...

Iagree When he gets going into those gyrations I wanna cover my kids eyes. Thankfully she already has them covered! Oh and his tongue, what is up with that? kepp it in the mouth when gyrating & singing mmmmmmmmk?

I liked Kris & Danny in that order. I thought everyone else either performed poopy or picked the wrong song!

Could they make it any more obvious how badly they want us to vote for Lil? First she gets featured front and center during last weeks results show performance. Then this week she is near the end and they bring out her kids for the sympathy vote. Not one judge has mentioned how flat she is and how amazingly unoriginal she is or how much she is lacking in uniqueness. It really is bothering me because much better people, like Allison, are being stuck in the bottom 3 and Lil is flatly singing her way to the final 3.

lil rounds was terrible... anoop was better than that...he just doesn't look like he sounds... he sang that song nicely and deserves more credit

Honestly if you saw most of his performances at a high school talent competition wouldn't everyone in the audience be looking at each other like EEK! and LMAO


He is really talented, he just scares me that's all. What's with the judges going off on Allison's looks when Adam's was just as "trendy" a few weeks ago!?!



vs.




I gotta admit I'm biased tho, I heart Allison
