I can't stand him. He's an ok singer, but it's extremely hard for me to look at him.

I think this season will go down as one of the worst casts they've ever had on the show. I only really like Danny, the rest could have stayed undiscovered.

Interesting.....from a talent stand point I'd say this is the best season so far. 2 bad half of them have no idea how 2 choose a song that highlights their skill set. Matt and Lil both need an ass kicking 4 their song choices.

I agree about Matt and Lil. Matt bothers me because of that damn mole in the center of his forehead. It is sooo distracting when he is singing.

I agree that this is the best bunch when it comes to arrangements, instruments, etc., but I'm not blown away by any of them too much. Anoop needs a reality check. Do you think there is a market for an Indian r&b star? I don't really think so. But, you never know. If he's good, he maybe can write some great r&b songs (Scott STorch anyone?).

Adam is my favorite in 7-8 years of the show but I don't think he is going 2 win. The voters rarely get it right.

Once Scott, the blond girl, and Anoop are gone, any of the remaining can win but I think Danny is going 2 pull it off. I'd take Adam as my choice.

Yup.. His whiny over-the-top voice reminds me of guys like the lead singer of Europe, or maybe cheesy goth-rock like Gene Loves Jezebel.

I can't stand Adam and don't understand why people think he's so great and original. He gets up there and simpers and flails about, makes me physically ill. If he wins I think I'll move to a cabin on a mountaintop somewhere, lol.

We can't say the "f" word. It offends some. Ask Issah Washington.

I wish he could have auditioned for "Rockstar: INXS" when they were looking for a singer! I'm sure they're kicking themselves for picking JD Fortune. (Hey, I wonder if Marty is available now and what he's doing these days!?!?)

But yeah, that guy is light years out of the other contestants' league it seems. It makes you wonder if he isn't a plant for A.I., already destined to win... and even if he doesn't, you know he will have a record out!

No way with INXS, JD's issues would have been alright if he was the original singer, but since he wasnt, he got the boot, but this guy is no way near INXS caliber, he has a strong voice, but its all just a little too "meat loaf-ish", he should be doing an album like that, not working with a band

You pretty much said what I wanted to say...but I didn't want the moderators on my ass.

My aunt and I were talking about that when we were watching him on Tuesday and we both agreed that no matter what happens, he's going to come out of this with a record deal. Whether you like him or not, he's unique and his voice stands out. That is something that is missing in music today, where new acts are concerned.

To me, they are all different in their own way and will all have different types of careers. Adam would be similar to the male Lady Gaga, Kris would be a young John Mayer, Matt would be like Justin meets The Fray, Lil is a Keyshia Cole/MJB knock-off, Danny could be a country/pop singer, Anoop would appeal to the Hannah Montanna crowd, and Scott is Josh Grobin meets contemporary Christian.

I don't care for Kris, but I think he is talented. He pretty good at knowing his strengths. I don't think Adam knows who he is as an artist. I think he wants to be a rocker, but his demeanor is not rocker like. He's too much of a "club kid" to be a rocker.
