i think at this stage, it is all about song choice. The top two finishers, Danny and Allison, sang the most recognizable songs ("Come rain or come shine" and "Someone to watch over me". Matt's Funny Valentine is from the 1936 musical Babes in Arms" and the lyrics don't really suit a twenty-something artists. It is better sung by a middle aged artist. Adam chose the 1965 Sammy Davis Jr. song "Feeling Good". It is already pretty obscure and his style obscured it even more. Chris did better singing the Frank Sinatra classic "The way you look tonight", which I think is an amazingly well written song. He didn't bring anything new to it but he "got it".

The voting probably went this way:

1. Danny
2. Allison
3. Chris
4. Adam
5. Matt

Allison might have beat Danny but AI has to have some mystery about the voting.

It's a real horse race now and anyone could end up on top but watch the song choices because that is probably going to determine the winner. Until this week I would have put my money on Adam. Now, I'll have to agree in Brian- it could be Danny.

If Adam wants to get back on top next week he should slick his hair back and channel Elvis with "Jail House Rock". He sings way better than Elvis ever did and he could probably convince women from 8 to 80 that Elvis lives. He is after all, an actor.
