I've been watching it with my kids since the beginning of the season. The goth-looking guy named Adam Lambert is going to win, hands down. Although I really hated his version of "Ring of Fire" last night. I also like that Megan girl with the tatoo-ed arm. She's hot.

The rest are forgettable. And Paula really needs to get help for her drinking problem or whatever else it is that makes her unintelligible.

Yep, Megan is a hotty indeed. I don't think much of any of em. But I think your onto it with the EMO guy Lambert. I only watch tiny bits and pieces while trying to communicate with my wife while she is engrossed in it.

The scam is they already have the final 4 picked. Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace. Although i just watched to see what would happen. I suppose to squelch the rumor mill they decided Alexis would be sacrificed, and so she was.

Now you know why I hate TV and all the fake crap that goes on there.

And Paula. I'd still get with it!

megan's the person i picked in the beginning. i think i said she'd be in the top three. but she's not getting a great reaction so far online. as of this week she was winning that one poll online, the 'keep the worst around' poll or whatever. which is completely ridiculous. she's the one person there who actually has a truly original talent. but she's also picking songs that are too tame. hopefully she steps up soon.

i'm not an adam fan. he's all drama all the time and i thought he butchered cash last night. i liked the arrangement itself, but he couldn't pull it off. guy was actually out of breath at certain moments. it was just way, way too much, and it actually seemed to be emo at times which is just totally bizarre.

Yea, forty, I do remember you picking Megan to be top three right after her audition. I didn't disagree with you then, but now I'm not so sure. You're right about her song selection...she needs to start picking songs that show off that delightfully quirky voice of hers.

Ya, she is good for sure. And I think she just needs to push it a bit and step out of the comfort zone. She has gone there before in the big audition's but not so far here.

Adam, ya EMO all the way. He was trying I think to put himself into Ring of Fire. I guess it worked, but I would rather have seen him go the social Distortion route myself as it might have suited even Simon maybe.

I think it will come down to hopefully Megan and Adam myself.
