And double wow…how strict were the judges’ instructions to say complimentary things about Danny no matter how bad he sucks. “That wasn’t good, but I give you props for trying! Go Danny!!” WTF??
Danny when you go back and see it…you will see that it was horrific.
Wait, why is Danny getting an A for effort? That was a train wreck!
The judges were REALLY unfair to Allison. And why couldn’t Danny have followed Adam? It’s not as if it would have made him sound worse.
It’s like he’s suddenly in the Special Olympics.
This song is not designed to be a duet at all.
Liked Allison in the duet! Adam was maybe a better singer technically but I enjoyed Allison more.
Oh, man…they ARE trying to Daughtry Gokey. Showing that screech on recap? I predict the shocking boot!
Hate to say it, but I think Kris might be in trouble. Gokey’s got the Xtian vote, Adam (as Simon just said, and I was thinking) just pulled Alison from the jaws of defeat, and Adam’s fans are going to be horrified about the results of last week’s vote and will save him.
Dammit.
I am really not liking anyone left. Adam was good a few weeks ago, but the one trick pony with the high notes is getting old for me. And the rest no way I would buy or even listen to. I think it’s about time I quit watching for this season.
It will be better when they can finally sing the genre of music they like and are good at.
Adam and Allison were really good together. hmm. Maybe they CAN oust Danny.
That second duet was much better than the first. Adam and Allison so deserve to be the final 2. I’d love to see the Goke get shocked tomorrow night. That was probably his worst vocal performance tonight.
Gokey has VFTW behind him. Didn’t save Matt, though.
I’m getting through every time on Kris’ line- no busys yet. 
I think the duet idea really was unfair. I’m not actually rooting for Kris to make it to the final 2, but I still think he got hosed by being forced to sing with The Goke.
He also had to sing twice in a row, while Adam got both first and last pimp slots.
Oh. my. god. Thats is Not what Aerosmith is supposed to sound like. Urk.
I enjoyed the duets more than the single efforts. Who will go tomorrow? My guess is Kris.
Gokey looked totally dead behind the eyes during the duet, which made me sad since it’s a song I dig.
And yes, Kara absolutely referred to “Cryin” and “Crazy” as EARLY Aerosmith. I yelled at the TV.
especially since Dream On is the earliest Aerosmith song I’m familiar with.
It’s official, Kara is an idiot.

My rankings:
#1. Adam
#2. Allison
#10. Kris
#187. Danny
Kris and Danny weren’t in Adam’s and Allsion hemisphere. And Danny was somehow on another planet.
Did I dream this…that I saw on IMDB that there was a Janis biopic in the works, starring Zooey Deschanel? It’s not there now…
Re: Adam — I didn’t think it possible for a performance to make Robert Plant’s look restrained and understated. But I love the song and he didn’t ruin it.
Where everyone did a great job last week, this week was a whole lotta meh. Was it Rock Songs with No Melody week? These were across the board terrible song choices. The only bright spot was the Adam/Allison duet, and only because it managed to be entertaining despite the song choice. They are so friggin’ adorable together, it was like TPTB were teasing us with “this could be your finale, kids!.” If only.
But really - “Whole Lotta Love?” Janis for Allison, really? Thanks, Captain Obvious (I agree with Simon that she should have done Queen). “Come Together,” “DREAM ON??” They must be going completely mad from sleep deprivation, and they just blearily picked the first song their eyes could focus upon. That said, I saw in some interview Adam did weeks and weeks ago that “Whole Lotta Love” was his dream song to do on the show, so I was afraid this would happen. It wasn’t terrible it was just…well, just kind of OK. Adam really needed to kill it. The judges saying he did does not make it so.
Idol moment of the week: Adam and Allison being complete adorable awesomeness. They sang some song, I forget. But so cute!
Sang words in the right order, on key: Adam, Allison and Kris. I actually liked Kris, but once again he seemed swallowed up. I thought the judges were too harsh on him because he did his thing dawg and did it well, but he’s so wispy and insubstantial. I still prefer him to Gokey in the final three, though.
Screechy McScreamerson: Gokey. Apparently he decided that the ticket to snatching some of Adam’s votes was to screech out a high note. Ugh. I am not sure I’ve ever seen a less rocking perosn do a rock song on Idol, and that’s saying a lot! But I got the sinking feeling that his fan base in Wal-Mart Bumfuckville will eat it up. Let’s hope they forgot to pay the phone bill.
Overall: disappointing. But at least Adam will be safe.
