It was a very dull night until Adam Lambert took the stage. Never have I felt a competitor was so far ahead of the field as I do with that guy. Sure, on a given night, someone could sing better than him or pick a better song, but no one brings the skillset, vocals, style, and moves to the table like Lambert. We've been shocked and awed before by early exits (see Dolittle), it could happen again, but for my money I'm wondering how to fully enjoy the next several weeks when there's such a gap between first to second.
1. Adam Lambert -- after "Black or White" it ("Play That Funky Music, White Boy") was his best yet. Funny how good he is when the word "white" is in the lyrics.
2. Kris Allen -- he's grown on me, puts up some enjoyable stuff
3. Scott MacIntyre -- predictable, but he played it right... even got a new coif
4. Alison Iraheta -- phoned it in, but good enough for fourth in a weak field
5. Danny Gokey -- bland
6. Megan Joy -- there were parts I really liked, parts that were off. she looks so uncomfortable up there
7. Anoop Desai -- confusing
8. Lil Rounds -- old ladyish
9. Matt Giraud -- nice work getting in the mosh pit, but that's all I got
Prediction: Voters will place Rounds, Joy, and Giraud in the bottom three. I think America has forgotten Rounds and she'll go home not because she's bad or disliked but irrelevant. At least people are thinking of Megan.
