Sometimes I think the judges have instructions to make things interesting by pushing bubble contestants and crapping on the front runners. It seems that it was their instructions this week. I wonder if theyā€™ll crap on Adam no matter what he does because thatā€™s what the index cards say? I mean, you can always say it was ā€œa messā€ if t was daring or ā€œold fashionedā€ if it wasnā€™t or ā€œindulgentā€ either way. ---

If youā€™d forgotten about his ā€œchallengeā€ you wouldnā€™t bring it up every week. Just shut up about it. He knows heā€™s blind. Seriously, did you say that to Stevie Wonder last week? That youā€™re proud of him because he overcame his challenge? ---

Matt was OK. ---

I actually liked Matt for the first time this week. ---

Iā€™m baffled by the judges feedback this week. Why is what Matt did any different from what Danny and Scott did? He took a song, and he more or less sang it the way it sounds. ---

Yeah, I thought the judges were a little rough on Matt. ---

Lil is awful. Celine was a heinous choice. ---

One of Lilā€™s better performances. I like the wig. ---

Bolsters my index card theory. Which means theyā€™ll love Lil ā€“ sheā€™s on the bubble, too. And theyā€™ll hate Adam. Heā€™s too much of a front runner. ---

Lil reminded me of a James Bond theme song. ---

Rounds sounds fine, I guess. I donā€™t know. I always think she sings ok, but itā€™s never anything I would listen to by choice. ---

Did I hear Ryan say that Adam is going to do Wild Cherry? Could he possibly be doing ā€œPlay That Funky Music, White Boy?ā€ That has the potential to be the most awesome thing ever seen on this show. ---

I was liking until the chorus. I think it sounded rushed and the melody was a little too altered. Good save at the end, though. I still think heā€™s the best, by far, and loved hearing someone do that song on AI. Heā€™s the only one that brings anything approaching excitement every week. ---

OK, bad song choice. Itā€™s a novelty song, and novelty songā€™s donā€™t cover well. On the other hand, heā€™s so clearly the front runner right now. Every week I think he stands out as somebody who doesnā€™t even know heā€™s a contestant. He acts like a pop star. ---

Eh. I like Adam but I thought it was one of his weaker performances. Oh, giving props to the band. Heā€™s a pro. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-3-31-4-1/491481.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-3-31-4-1/491481.md?page=4)
