		<description>rontianjin - Didn&#039;t Allison win $50K in a Telemundo singing contest?  Didn&#039;t she appear on that show fairly frequently?  I&#039;d count that as experience and getting paid for it.  So don&#039;t go on this rant about Adam having all this experience, please.

Now, before anyone gets all mad I think Allison got totally and without a doubt royally hosed.

Allison, sassy girl that she is (and that&#039;s a good thing) will be fine, she&#039;s too good not to be.</description>

		<description>well, I think Simon cowell is not honest. He is a big fat liar who thinks he knows it all. Last week America proved that his comments about Allison was nothing but bunch of bologny by voting for her. He was very embrassed when Ryan pointed it out. So, When Allison disagreed with his comments this week he just couldn&#039;t take it and made sure she got eliminated. I think this whole voting system is fraud and manipulated by Mr. Cowell. The dumb Idiot.</description>

		<description>Adam did have the best performance.  Wake up Danny Gokey who has been getting by on safe and unoriginal even mediocre-snorish songs ruined the Aerosmith song tonight.  If he stays it is only due to his deaf-toned fans.  You are suppose to vote for the best singer but they don&#039;t care they just vote for him.  Kris Allen&#039;s song was dull as he is.  When asked to make it more lively by SLASH he does what?  Nothing.  Sure he changed the song to be more him but on a SLASH ROCK WEEK did he step up his game?  No.  Allison at least did her best.  She still mumbles her words at one point her song ran together and I thought she was singing Cry Ho, Ho baby.  So...she still has to get the marbles out of her mouth for me.  Adam Lambert was completely in Rocker Character.  As SLASH SAID, he grew up with this stuff.  It is about Attitude, a lifestyle and Adam Lambert delivered out the goods.  I would say that was such a natural performance for him that Rock is what he should be doing.  Kudos to Slash for keeping Adam in the lower registra and like he said, by doing that it sounds cool.  Man...is Slash ever the coolest guy there though?  His voice just talking was fan-freaking-tastic.  And who was the new guitar player in the American Idol band!  Mad Talent!  Looks familiar but I can&#039;t place him.  AI props for bringing him on!  Oh and back to Adam Lambert.  Where did he get that necklace with the key on it?  My brother wants one.</description>

		<description>I am quite aware that Adam has talent and that he will probably win, however I feel that the judges were a bit too obvious...Even though Adam did deserve the praise, I felt that the judges were not professional with their comments ie Nobody can beat that performance -  not once but twice.  The other three contestants must have felt very low because then they had to perform.  It was almost like the judges wanted Adam to win, but I am sure he could do that on his own merit.  Like any other year when the last 3 or 4 contestants were to perform, the judges gave their opinion WITHOUT stating that no one could beat their performance.  I was disappointed as it is almost like we found our winner so so long to the others...thank you for you time....I just LOVE AMERICAN IDOL - don&#039;t ruin it...</description>

		<description>Oh, this whole Disqualify-Adam-because-he&#039;s-professional rant smacks of the conspiracy=theory folks who don&#039;t believe Obama isn&#039;t really American and thus can&#039;t be president. 

AI isn&#039;t an amateur contest -- Melinda Doolittle and others were professionals too. It&#039;s for people who don&#039;t have record contracts but deserve one. Adam more than qualifies.</description>

		<description>I just want to say Kara DioGuardi should not be back on this show. To be a judge you should know a little something about music, yes? After Danny sang she said she wanted to see earlier Aerosmith, like cryin&#039;... ummmm Dream On was done in &#039;79 I believe and cryin&#039;, in the 90s... enough said.</description>

		<description>What kind of idiot would call Adam Lambert a Rock God?  He is a ringer, has made recordings for/with Randy Jackson, has been trained and paid for his work in musical theater, why is he allowed to be in the competition.  America, vote him out, how can he be a true American Idol?</description>
