Deano's Turning in His Grave

So I'm watching Kris Allen do his thing to a song I sort of remember, and I say "he's just like a young Sinatra." Maybe somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew the song was a Sinatra song, but not consciously.

Anyway, he was good -- and so was everyone else. I think only Adam didn't really do the period justice, but c'mon, he's Adam. So it was more Orzabal than Davis, but what did you expect? Allison was masterful, Danny was a huge crowd pleaser, and Matt was FINALLY in his element.

So, who's going home? Probably Matt. It's too bad, but I think people will see him as Harry Connick, Jr. -- Junior. Crosby-Lite. He's got a career, but he's not stadium material like Daughtry.

It's like a friend's response the other day when I asked if the RedWings managed to sweep their series by winning the last game. "Barely", was the response, "it was 6-5!" Amazingly, it didn't matter that they won in four straight games, it only mattered that they didn't dominate this time. Same problem for Matt, he didn't dominate this time.

I could be wrong, it could be Allison. Adam and Danny are bound for the finals, although not quite as obviously as David & David last year. (BTW, I think they should have made those two sing Welcome to the Boomtown.) That leaves Kris. He did go first last night, but he was gooooood.

So my best guess is Allison, Matt and Danny in the bottom three, but Danny is safe.

I hope next week is New Wave week. As if Adam needed any more help!
