YOu got it wrong! Chris Daughtry came in fourth a few years ago, Elliot Yamin came in third, Katherine McPhee came in second and then that Taylor Hicks guy was the winner.

That said, I think Danny Gooky should have gone home.

Thanks, Xina! I forgot that's the year Taylor Hicks won. The clip showed Daughtry and McPhee on stage, and I was thinking she had won that year (which shows how much of an impact that Idol season had on me...not...)

i HATED TO SEE ALLISON GO HOME, BUT i ACTUALLY LOVE ALL OF THEM. i CAN'T WAIT THEM TO SEE THEM ON TOUR. America better get it right because Adam has been the best idol contestant ever and I was a huge fan of the David's and Daughtry.

allison should be runner up to adam. she is the second best singer in my opinion. simon treated her wrong/ america made a mistake. not enough votes does not mean she isnot better , maybe less popular with fans.

I don't think any of them left are as marketable as Allison, I've no interest any more this year without her. I think she will be the only one you hear about in 5 years. I hope Daughtry consoled her, it was fitting that he was the guest when I feel the same thing happened to him.

I am very sad to see Allison go home, but still quite happy that Kris is around. If there is any justice in the world Danny will somehow go home next week, but it's been a Danny/Adam finale since episode one (which is SO annoying) especially since Danny has IMO just gotten worse throughout the season while Kris has just gotten better and better. Oh well.

I was anticipating Danny going home or Kris. I know Kris is doing well but the song choice was poor and his performance for me lacked. Perhaps, I am tired of Beatle songs.

I have felt since the beginning that Allison was very good but too young. There was an indefinable something that came through where I had a sense of her "youngness". Certainly, not her voice, style or talent - it seems she needs to grow into it.

Sadly, I fell asleep after Kris was safe and then came the commercial break so when I woke this morning was when I learned who left last night.

I don't understand why Danny is still in the competition - seems like this could be another quirky season such as the one that Taylor Hicks became the American Idol. And seeing Taylor H's recent performance left me shaking my head and wondering where it all went so very wrong...

Bottom line: Gokey should have gone home.

More snark, for good measure:

* The "School's Out" group sing sucked.
* Paula's lip-synch sucked.
* No Doubt didn't suck, but they didn't sound as good as they used to.
* The Daughtry video clip was pretty good, but his new song was BORING.
* Allison rocked it. It's a shame she was sent home before Danny and Kris.

P.S. Thanks for spelling Katharine's name right!

I hated to see Allison go home last night, but it wasnt a huge surprise. She has been hanging around the bottom three, undeservedly, for a while. She just doesnt get the support from the voters for some reason. Based purely on performance, Danny should have went home, but his huge fan base carried him through, even after an awful perfomance of Dream On. Nothing against Danny though. At this point it is hard to say goodbye to any of these contestants.
I kind of enjoyed Paulas performance. It was nice to see her do something besides babble incoherently, flirt with Simon and throw her panties at Adam for a change.
Daughtry sounded good and I enjoyed his new song. I have never been a big fan of No Doubt though. In my opinion, Gwen Steffani is a hugely overrated skank. That some view her as a fashion icon and sex symbol boggles my mind. To me, she is unattractive, shapeless and sings just barely better than Britney Spears.
I am really going to miss Allison. I think she is better than more than half of the people who have won this competition in the past and I hope she goes on to have a huge carrer.

Well, guess I won't be watching Idol the rest of this season. Allison was my choice. As far as I was concerned, her voice was the most powerful! Yes, Adam is good, but am tired of hearing his screaming high pitched voice. There was just something about Allison that made you look foward to seeing her perform. She ALWAYS put her heart and soul into her singing. I'm beginning to think that all the teenage girls are in control of the voting and just go with who's the cutest. I just don't get it! That's not what Idol is about.

I DID NOT WONT TO SEE ALLISON GO HOME MADE ME SICK DONT CARE WHO WINS NOW

I was not that thrilled with Allison's performance on Rock Night (except for her duet with Adam, which totally rocked), but I have to say she totally sang the hell out of "Cry Baby" on elimination night. Something tells me Allison will have a future, but it depends on how much she wants it. In the end, I think Allison was just having fun and never really had that fire to win this thing -- certainly not like Adam, who you can easily see is in it to win it.

That being sad, she should not have been the one to go home. Just going on performance, it should have been either Danny or Kris, but at this point it comes down to fan base and all three of the remaining contestants have strong fan bases. I would go so far as to say Danny has the strongest base of fans and could take home the prize. Unfortunately, if he does I think he'll end up being another Taylor Hicks. While Hicks is a great singer, he never really had it in himself to be star.

When I look at the final three and think about who could have the career of Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood, Adam is really the only one I think could approach that -- and I'm no Adam fan. Both Danny (the choir boy) and Kris (the soft-spoken pretty boy) have mediocre talent at best.

It doesn't really matter who goes home at this point.

Anyone but Adam is a fair choice.

I don't know what competition some of the people were watching Tuesday, but not one performer, except Adam, had a performance worthy of a winner on that stage.

The difference in energy, singing talent, song choice, emotion and just the raw quality of the performance were so plainly visible there is absolutely no way anyone could objectively choose anyone but Adam. Allison sang ok, but the performance was utterly lackluster compared to Janis Joplin. Kris sucked so bad it was painful to watch, and Danny's end note was pure torture.

I don't really even like Adam all that much, because he's way too glam rock, but there's no arguing he's heads and shoulders above anyone else in the competition.

america got it wrong - there's usually someone I root for but I really wanted Allison to win - she had a great voice and just seems like a great REAL person

I thought Paula's performance was actually really good, but why did she choose to do it on rocker night. It didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the acts at all. She should have saved it for the finale.

I am really so severely disappointed that Allison was voted off "AI" last night. In my opinion, she was the best singer in the contest. I know many people will say that Adam is untouchable, and I agree that he is quite talented, but Allison is raw talent. She came from high school, not from the professional world like Adam. Although she seemed awkward when being interviewed and maybe did not exude the "personality" that Simon was looking for, it is important to realize that Allison is not a polished professional. She is 17 and, before this competition, had likely never performed in front of any seriously large audience nor been interviewed on camera for millions to see. I thought her personality always came out where it counted: in her performances. When that girl sang you FELT it, you know. I think Simon's constant negative comments about her "lack of personality" really hurt her and cost her votes. I was so looking forward to seeing her duke it out with Adam and give him a run for his money in the finals. The truth is, in my opinion, that neither Kris nor Danny have the chops to go toe to toe with Adam. They are both lovely gentlemen with pleasant voices but come on...the gap is gigantic. At this point, I think Adam has it in the bag. Where's the excitement in that? At least Allison would have made it interesting. America definitely screwed this one up.

I'm afraid the Jesus freaks are going to ruin Idol and crown Gokey the winner. Ugh.

Allison should have stayed,she has the voice of Stevie Nicks,Bonnie Tyler and yes!Janis Joplin.I will be waiting for her first single(Cry Baby)She was so much talent.

I was impressed by Paula's performance. I'm sure it was lip-synched, but the girl can dance, and the song is actually catchy. Slash was awesome. And I love the hat. It's his signature. Slash without his hat is like Keith Richards without a cigarette dangling from his lips.
I was sorry to see Alison go. She's far more talented than Gokey. I've been over that guy for several weeks now. But Adam's has this competition in the bag anyway, so now it's just a matter of who will be joining him in the finals.
Having said all of that... I don't know who wrote this TVSquad Review, but can't they find somebody less sarcastic, less snarky who seems to actually enjoy watching the show to write the reviews? Every little nuance elicitcs a snitty dig (Ryan's writers, Simon's advice, Paula's Breasts, Slash's hat and comments that it's nice to hear rock being done by people who can sing). Drop the negativity and sarcasm, and just write a well-crafted, interesting review of the show. Nobody's interested in your opinion. :)
Thanks for listening.
