American Idol: Top 5


1. Adam. Theatrical, yes, but that's fine when you're five times better than everyone else.
2. Kris. Nice. We'd buy an album of his in the Michael Buble style.
3 and 4. Danny and Allison. Both OK. Both too gruff for this genre.
5. Matt. Bad. It supposedly should have been his week, but that performance was not so much "My Funny Valentine" as it was "My Angry Robot Valentine."

The fact that the only thing the winner gets is a record deal, and all the good singers will get record deals anyway, makes the show a lot less interesting. Why not a million dollars? The show can certainly afford it.
