<p>Bravo/a! Yeeessss.</p>
<p>better than anything I ever expected to hear on this show</p>
<p>I just love Adam. What an incredible gift.</p>
<p>I gotta give Adam props! That is the best performance of the night…and I havent been a fan</p>
<p>Tonight:</p>
<p>Adam>Alison>Matt</p>
<p>Bottom—Scott</p>
<p>I’m not a fan of Adam, but I think he deserves the win for tonight.</p>
<p>Bottom 3</p>
<ol>
<li>Lil</li>
<li>Scott</li>
<li>Matt (or Anoop)</li>
</ol>
<p>Not sure I remember Simon *ever *giving a standing O before</p>
<p>I am voting for Adam, Allison, Noop and Kris…thats all folks.</p>
<p>Wow. What a performance. And to get Simon to stand…
Scott or Anoop go home I think.</p>
<p>This season is Adam’s to lose. They could probably run out of time before he sings and he would not be in the bottom three - interesting that he is always at or near the end though.</p>
<p>What was that song Adam sang?? It was eerie and haunting, but very good. I was sorry they shorted him not only on the comments but also on the video clip summary of tonights singers.</p>
<p>Bottom two Lil, Scott…</p>
<p>My wife and I both thought Adam may be the best ever on Idol. I would like to see him sing a Queen song. I bet he could replace Freddie Mercury.</p>
<p>If Paula wouldn’t ramble on so much they wouldn’t be pressed for time. Cut off her mike!!</p>
<p>Jym - Mad World - Tears for Fears</p>
<p>The song was Mad World by Tears for Fears.<br>
I think Adam performed it better than the original.
Sorry I did not see the prior answer.</p>
<p>It was covered in Donnie Darko which is a cult favorite movie of kids Adam’s age.</p>
<p>I’m really ticked that they let Paula ramble on so that Adam was cut short. That was the best. It is always Adam that I can’t wait to see what he does next. Great version.</p>
<p>Adam once again was superb. Allison was amazing too. And I thought Anoop and Matt both did pretty well.
Middle: Danny, Kris. Good singers. Crummy song/arrangements
Botton: Lil, Scott</p>
<p>I totally LOVED Adam’s performance. I actually want to watch it again. And I never say that. </p>
<p>I’ve watched Idol every season, and I don’t recall Simon giving a standing ovation before. However, I have a really bad memory. Anybody know the answer to that??</p>
<p>PS I love coming to read this board after the show. Thanks guys.</p>
<p>As an aside - if you liked “Mad World”, listen to “Woman in Chains” by Tears for Fears with Oleta Adams. Adam could do a great version of that song too - a nice falsetto is needed.</p>
<p>Thanks, cartera and curiouser. I am going to find a version on the web and compare.</p>
