Oh how the mighty have fallen. Just when we thought this competition was sealed, the underdog contestants came out with guns blazing and wouldn't let Idol take them down without a fight:

D/F

11. Scott MacIntyre (Wild Angels) -- I wanted to like Scott. I tried. He's a nice, honest guy who tries his best. But I'm sorry, I can't take it any more. Scott is the most boring thing that has every happened to American Idol. This performance was identical to last week's. I'm falling asleep just thinking about it.

10. Michael Sarver (Ain't Goin' Down Til the Sun Comes Up) -- Michael was another one I tried to like (and still somewhat do), but his performances are also getting progressively more boring. I give him props for attempting a really difficult song, but the overflow of lyrics made him hard to understand and did nothing to show off his vocal ability.

9. Adam Lambert (Ring of Fire) -- I don't even know what to say. I'm leaving the country if America picks him to win this thing. Yeah, it was different. Yeah, he tried. Yea, there is a tiny smidge of a voice under all that screaming. But this strange, over the top, self-indulgent whine-fest just sealed it for me. I hate this guy. And Paula comparing the performance to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir?" I think I just threw up a little.

P.S. That is not how you cover a Johnny Cash song. THIS is how you cover a Johnny Cash song:

C

8. Lil Rounds (Independence Day) -- I'm not as infatuated with Lil Rounds as the judges usually are, so I'm glad they finally gave her some constructive criticism. She had a real opportunity to take a song out of her comfort zone and turn it into a powerful R&B cover, but instead, got somewhat lazy and added no personality or pizazz to the performance.

7. Danny Gokey (Jesus, Take the Wheel) -- Oh, give me a break! Can you imagine what a Danny Gokey album would sound like? It would be filled with cheesy, inspirational ballads formerly sung by women. Danny's song choices are so unimaginative. While the second half was sung quite well, the first half was flat and totally off-key.

6. Megan Joy Corkrey (Walkin' After Midnight) -- This was alright, but no way near as good as last week's fantastic "Rockin' Robin" like Simon said it was. The performance was very so/so, but I'm going to give her a pass this week since she had the flu. And what is with her all of sudden only being known as "Megan Joy?" I'll add the middle name, but I refuse to refer to her without the last name.

B

5. Matt Giraud (So Small) -- Matt has been solid in the competition, but nothing so far has made him stand out as an artist with a marketability factor. I won't go so far as to say it was the best performance of the night (as Randy did), but I think it was a great, current song choice and a step-up of a performance for Matt.

4. Alexis Grace (Jolene) -- While not as good as the last two weeks (mostly because of losing what the judges called her "dirty" factor), this was another excellent performance by the exceptionally talented Alexis. Next week, however, I'd like her to return to her usual bluesy style. This song was not for her.

A

3. Allison Iraheta (Blame It On Your Heart) -- Allison is not necessarily my favorite, but I can't deny that she delivers consistently knock-out performances every week. Her voice is strong and it seems like whatever she does, she can't miss. I'd like to see her change it up and do something a little slower next week.

2. Anoop Desai (You Were Always On My Mind) -- Finally!! Here's the talent I knew Anoop always had. He was at a critical stage in the competition after a hokey performance of "Beat It" last week, but he totally stepped up his game and delivered his best vocal performance to date.

1. Kris Allen (Make You Feel My Love) -- Kris has been one of my side-project favorites this year, but nothing he had done so far was memorable or seemed to make him a crowd favorite. This song choice was perfection and his delivery was flawless. His voice is miles more pleasant than Danny's and is a fresh, subtle alternative to Adam's min-numbing screams. The only thing that bothered me was the inclusion of this as a Garth Brook's country song. Um, I believe it was written by this guy named Bob Dylan. Ever heard of him, American Idol?

Also if you want to hear another great cover of the song, check out Adele's. It's fantastic:

I'm thinking either Michael or Scott will go next...or Adam (a girl can only dream)!
