Performances tonight, and then…two eliminations, I believe. ---

Disco Night. What contestant will do “Stayin’ Alive” as a subliminal suggestion? Its another opportunity for Adam to do “Its Raining Men.” ---

I don’t think of KISS as disco, but that would be cool. ---

Oh, yeah, Adam’s gay. You know what would be funny, if he sang something by the Village People. Brilliant! Because you know, THEY were gay and HE’S gay. Or better yet, what if it was a GIRL song about MEN. Because, you know, he likes MEN. I’m sure there is absolutely no end to how hilarious and clever it will be for people to give him really really gay song suggestions to Adam, who is a gay man. Snicker. ---

In a different thread, I suggested “I’m Coming Out” for Adam. Or maybe “Dancing Queen.” Cause, you know, he’s gay! ETA: Someone HAS to do “The Winner Takes it All” by Abba. ---

You can actually hear Chris’ guitar for once. He’s not too bad. This song sucks, though. ---

Kris…I gotta say I liked it. I wouldn’t choose to listen to it, but it was an impressive job with a tough theme. ---

Deadwife is awful too. Does not sound good with the backup singers at all. Kris was decent. Best he could have done with the theme. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-4-21-to-4-22/493859.md?page=2)
