American Idol - Top 8

Danny - "Stand By Me"
I kept waiting for Danny to break out into song and when he did I broke out into chair dancing.  I cannot wait to see him at the AI concert!  I will definitely be screaming like a crazy woman.  I did agree that the arrangement was a little strange but he pulled it out!

Kris - "All She Wants To Do I Dance"
I did not like that they put Kris is the middle of 100 girls.  That seems a little over the top to me.  I also think he was faking the guitar tonight.  Kris was okay but he didn't impress me tonight.  Dancing was not all I wanted to do...

Lil - "What's Love Got To Do With It"
I really liked the chorus but the verses were a little strung out for me.  Lil is talented but it seems that every week I hope for a little more than I actually get.  She didn't blow me away but she did alright.  I did feel sorry for her...I would cry if judges were disappointed in me too.

Anoop - "True Colors"
Anoop was definitely dressed for Easter Sunday, he even looked a bit like an Easter egg.  I really liked Anoop this week.  I just wish he could be consistent week after week.  I never know what I'm going to get.  Hopefully, he'll continue to go up from here.

Scott - "The Search Is Over"
Scott creeped me out a little tonight in his intro.  I'm really beginning to get tired of Scott.  He seems to be a wonderful person but just not my type of artist.  He was off tonight and has been off several weeks in a row.  His song 
was strange all together especially the high notes.

Allison - "I Can't Make You Love Me"
I think I've said this before but I'll say it again, I've never really liked the younger contestants on AI but I love Allison.  She has such an incredible stage presence for a 16-year-old.  Her voice is so distinct and can go from one extreme to the other with ease.  She really does remind me of Kelly Clarkson, so I was glad Randy said that tonight.

Matt - "Part-Time Lovers"
Matt rocked it tonight.  I really couldn't take my eyes of the screen.  I just wanted to watch his dancing skills.  He was really entertaining and fun.  At one point, they panned out and show Paula dancing "on" Simon and that was a little awkward for me but he was awesome.  I hope that he gets a bigger fan base.  I think Matt definitely deserves to stick around.  If he does get the lowest vote this week..."The Save" had better be used.

Adam-"????"
The show ran over the scheduled time so my DVR cut off before I even knew what Adam sang.  I tried to find it on YouTube but had no luck.  What are your thoughts?  Where does Adam belong this week?

Top 4
Matt
Danny 
Anoop
Allison

I couldn't decide between Anoop and Allison and without hearing Adam...I decided to go with a Top 4 this week.

Bottom 3

Lil

I haven't seen it yet, but knowing that Danny sings my ALL time favorite song, I cannot wait to watch!! I do get nervous for each time Anoop gets on stage. I think he has a great voice, but sometimes his delivery is off.

I still have to watch too...i'm so glad Megan went home last week though, I was tired of her!

as far as the CF trial study goes, if I get an opportunity i'd love to particpate, but I have no idea where they are enrolling patients- it would be awesome though!! We'll see what the process looks like :).
Love ya jaci!!

Adam's performance was worth seeing- its on the AI site now for free. He and Danny are my favorites, although I agree with you about Allison- she is an impressive teenager!
