Though Adam is impressive and like a train wreck to watch (you just can't look away even though something inside you is screaming "don't look!") - I do hope Kris wins. I think that he has a much better shot of having staying-power when it comes to commercial radio than what Adam does. Adam's followers are eccentric, to put it mildly, and am not sure how that would translate to radio. Somehow I imagine his live show's would be a mix between the Rocky Horror Picture Show done Broadway style with a dash of 80's hair band screams thrown in. ;) But let's not paint him into that corner alone. Look him up on YouTube and watch "Is Anybody Listening" from a play he was in starring Val Kilmer and then swing over to check out his performance of one of his original songs "Crawl Thru Fire" from the Zodiac Show (put the kiddies to bed first . . .not appropirate.) You decide. -B Jo-Lynne,

Adam, Danny, and Kris (and Allison, of course) are all tremendously talented, and any one of those top 4 is deserving of a win. I was not surprised to see Danny go last night. Adam had the shameless backing...schmoozing...of the judges. And Katy Perry...ugh! So that helped boost him, I'm sure. Kris' version of Apologize was better than the judges gave him credit for. And his second song was such an original twist on the Kanye version! Danny has a most amazing voice. Paula's song pick hurt him. Why choose a song that requires Danny to dance? Not fair! And while his second song was beautiful, he was overshadowed by Kris, and then Adam. I hold to my theory that Kris will get the majority of Danny's votes, and will go on to win this thing. Being an Arkansan, I'm pleased with this. Adam is fantastic too, though, and I will be happy, no matter who wins. Both of them--and Danny and Allison too--have bright careers in front of them. Overall this has been my favorite Idol season, followed closely by the Carrie Underwood season. Next season, I hope to see fair exposure given to all the contestants, and that the obvious bias of the judges will stay under wraps. Whoever says Kris isn’t talented doesn’t know what talent is.

I'm thinking that this will benefit Kris more than Adam though, as I bet Kris picks up a lot of Danny's old voters. I don't think that Danny voters would be as likely to flip over to Adam, since their styles are worlds apart. Needless to say, I hope Kris wins. Never having watched AI before though, I'm curious: Has this ever happened before, where someone who has never been in the bottom is eliminated? That surprised me. I completely agree with Ashley.

I can't deny Adam's talent, but I really don't want to see him win - something about how the judges fawn over him really turns my stomach... I'm rooting for Kris next week! And, I can't wait to see what Danny does after this - he's got a great career ahead of him - LOVED his song the last two nights!

Then when he sang Heartless he blew it out of the water, hence that comment from Simon. Personally, I liked Kris' first performance too, but that's just me. Deep down I was hoping for a Danny/Kris final two. I'm sorry to see Danny go, but seeing I've been routing for Kris since the top 32, I'm beyond thrilled. To me he's the only one who's gotten where he is purely on his talent. Everyone else had camera time and major back stories right up until the top 16, he didn't have anything in that department. Next week's show should be awesome.

Danny will do just fine and I look forward to hearing from him in the future. I agree that any of the top 4 could have been in the finals.

I haven't really noticed him much this season until recently. I think his is the album I would regularly listen to most, although I think Adam is immensely talented. Kris was BRILLIANT!
