The entry titled "Idol update."

We’ve been remiss in keeping up with American Idol. Sorry about that. With Diane Holloway’s departure, we’ve been swamped. But here’s an update in advance of tonight’s elimination of two contestants:

The judges should get rid of three, not two, just to save us the misery. The three to go: Lil’ Rounds, Anoop and Matt. None of them has a chance, and all of them are destined to hit the road soon.

If Lil’ Rounds knows what’s good for her, she’ll stop arguing with Simon.. It doesn’t come off well at all, and she seems petulant and defensive. The fact of the matter is: She isn’t singing up to par.

Once again, Adam Lambert proved he’s the one to beat. And Danny and Kris did well. But they can’t hold a candle to Adam.

I’m getting increasingly irritated with Paula’s constant fawning over mediocre performances. And I’m not sure Kara is much better. I think Paula stood up and danced during nearly every performance last night, with perhaps the exception of Adam’s, which was understated. Sigh.

Any thoughts out there? Again, sorry for the lack of recent postings.

I agree with you regarding the bottom three. However, from day one I felt that Danny Gokey was over-rated. To date, my opinion of him remains unchanged. I would like to see Kris and Adam in the top two. Adam's performance last night was my favorite of his thus far, but I have not always been bowled away by him. Kris, however, has kept my attention each time I have seen him perform. While Allison is a strong performer, she seems to be a one-trick pony. At first I really liked her, but now I'm just bored.
