I watched (almost) the whole thing for the first time this season. I had caught pieces and parts and Anoop and a couple others just annoyed me, but when I saw they were all gone, I figured I'd watch it.
Having no previous history from which to base anything on, I have to say that Allison was the only one that I really liked. She sang the hell out of Janis, and pulled off the attitude with that song.
I know the judges swooned over Adam, but I thought he butchered Led Zeppelin. Someone really needs to tell him that he can chill on the makeup - this isn't theater. TV makes him look like a wannabe drag queen when he's wearing more makeup than Paula and Kara combined. It works on Broadway, not on a televised show.
Kris was
totally boring, but maybe he really was just in a bad genre for his style.
Danny sounded good until he tried - and FAILED - to do the falsetto verse like Steven Tyler. The whole verse was horrid, but that last note was cringe-inducing. There's a ton of good rock songs that would still be outside his comfort zone and difficult to sing without having that effect. Give him credit for trying, but that was a bad failure and I can't believe he didn't know his own vocal limitations.
As bad as I thought Danny did, I think Kris is going home. Danny will get the pity vote, and sometimes that's enough. Heck it carried Taylor Hicks to winning the whole thing.
Kris was worse than bad...he was forgettable.
