I liked Danny, Lil, Allison and Adam best. Last night, I thought Adam's was the best performance.
I really like Alexis and think her voice is great. I was quite disappointed in her performance last night, though. She just oversang to the point of almost screaming. Her moves looked uncomfortable.
I'm sure some people feel Adam is over the top, but he looks and sounds totally comfortable. He knows who he is and what suits him. I think he needs to show he can dial back a bit, but he's very good.
Allison also has a veteran presence, despite her age. Obviously due to performing live before audiences for a long time. Great voice.
I'm cool on Adam. I'm incredulous at the hype, and while he's good, I don't get the hysteria. The judges gave him way too much love.
I thought Jasmine was the best, vocally, of the night, so I don't understand why everyone is down on her. Yeah, she was flat a couple of times, but so was everyone else, including the great Adam and the great Danny.
Speaking of Danny, I didn't like last night's performance all that much. I'd give it a 6/10. He was just roaring too much, and, unfortunately, he started to sound like Taylor Hicks. Not that there's anything wrong with the way Taylor Hicks sounds, but when's the last time you even thought about him? Not mainstream, not a widespread appeal, and not visually pleasing enough to get by on looks. I like Danny, but I wasn't impressed last night.
I did like Jorge Nunez, and I'm not a Jorge Nunez fan. At all. Again, he was flat on a couple notes, but I thought he did a good job, and I thought the song choice was great. Maybe it's because I like the song, but again, I thought the judges were waaaay off on him.
Megan was good, aside from the incredibly bad dancing and the bird call at the end of the song. I thought she sounded good, but if it weren't Michael Jackson week, she'd probably be in trouble with that performance. So she's probably on the bubble.
Lil Rounds, Alexis and Michael all did enough to get by. Nothing all that fantastic, in my opinion (I liked Alexis' "Dirty Diana", but she oversang on parts).
Allison was probably the best overall performance. I don't like the fact that she always sounds like she's at the top of her range, but her power and control are impressive, and she put them both on display last night.
Anoop, Scott and Kris were probably the worst of the night. Anoop didn't do anything impressive vocally, Scott is showing that he's not a singer, and Kris kind of got overpowered by the song. There were some notes that eluded him, and I didn't think his song choice lent itself well to any acoustic accompaniment.
Matt might not make the cut, but I think he was better than the three I just mentioned. It sucks for him that he was on stage right after Adam (and the ensuing Hype Fest).
