Michael Jackson's music rulz

I'm really curious to see who gets voted where -- with the exception of Anoop no one was absolutely horrible. I didn't love every performance, but I thought the quality was pretty high overall.

Lil' Rounds is clearly a good singer, but this song did her no favors.

Blind Guy is pretty much the definition of fine -- he's okay, but not great or even interesting.

Danny Gokey -- I was prepared to hate on him for the overplaying of the dead wife (probably not his fault) and mawkish ballads, but I really liked this. I even thought the awkward dancing was endearing. He flat out performed that bitch!

Roughneck is another fine -- he's decent, but boring.

Just 17 will probably get voted out before she picks a song that shows her to advantage. She needs serious help projecting some personality.

Kris Allen -- I really enjoyed this, he's certainly adorable, but I honestly can't remember a single previous performance.

Burgundy Hair -- like Darla, I want to like her but didn't particularly care for this song one way or the other.

Anoop -- awful. If we go by performance, this is definitely the worst of the night. I can't see how anyone in the universe could do Beat It without completely redoing it (like the version of Billie Jean David Cook did last year). I suspect he'd survive the cut if they went by vote totals this week (and not the judges) -- there were several decent but forgettable performances by people who don't have the mad fan love Anoop seems to have.

Puerto Rican Guy -- I thought this was a perfect pick for him, but then I think he's completely schmaltzy.

Megan -- she's got an interesting tone, but she's also got a lot of annoying vocal tics. Not to mention her movement around the stage is horrifying. This doesn't seem like a good venue to insist on being anti-commercial, and how else do you explain Rockin' Robin?

Adam -- I'm still enjoying him, though I suspect I'll end up hating him in a few weeks. He can donate his stylist allotment to Kris Allen, who needs some sartorial assistance.

Matt -- he could also use some wardrobe help, but vocally he's good. Last week I thought he was really good, but couldn't remember what he'd done before -- and again I can't even remember what he did last week.

Alexis -- overall I like it; she would've done better to just stand still and focus on the vocals.
