clearly Adam outshined them all
(although I thought a couple other were close last night)

This was the first time I liked Adam.
in previous weeks he's done good until his vocals went over the edge. Too much shouting, too many runs
and my husband who normally can't stand him.. vocals, hair...everything also liked him last night.
So he even passed muster with some more conservative listeners.

Reminded me a lot of the night last year when David Cook sang a tender song from Phantom of the Opera.
Both had done a fare amount of musical theater and have these chops even if they prefer a harder edge.

and I have to agree on Scott. it must be the sympathy votes because he's blind.... because no way is he in the league with the others. an excellent pianist... but this is a singing contest!
