Adam was by far the best out of the bunch. Allison was good, although, I didn't really care for the song she picked.

Danny and Chris totally ruined all the songs they sang, especially the Styx song, totally horrible. Danny singing
"Dream On" was beyond bad.

I think it's time for Danny to go. Haven't really cared for his singing sing the auditions.

I liked the duets ok but I really didn't like the rest of the show. Hard rock is not my "thing". Danny was awful.

FWIW. A very pertinent article from The Car Connection's Daily Edition: "Detroit Needs More Than Healthcare Cuts? General Motors, Ford and even the Chrysler Group need to look beyond cuts in healthcare benefits as they restructure if they plan to regain strength in the automotive industry, says one of the industry's top observers. Laurie Harbour-Felax, a consultant and analyst who studies the domestic industry extensively, said that domestic carmakers still have a long way to go to catch their top Japanese competitors. During the first part of the 2005, Nissan made $1,826 per vehicle sold while GM lost $1,227, a gap of $3,300. Even the profitable Chrysler Group made only a fraction of Nissan's per-vehicle profit, at $186 per vehicle, said Harbour-Felax, who was a principal in Harbour & Associates for many year before setting up her own firm this year. To keep pace with Asian competitors, domestic carmakers must figure out ways to use more common parts and vehicle architectures and limit warranty expenses and recall costs, which are still too high now despite the substantial improvements in quality. American companies score much better in initial quality surveys but the longer-term quality that shapes public perception of a vehicle and a company still seems to lag behind. Domestic carmakers spend between $200 to $300 more per vehicle on recalls and that has to be eliminated, she said. Harbour-Felax suggested domestic automakers have to learn to work more closely with their suppliers and treat them as part of the solution, not the problem."

Pella or American Craftsman Replacement Windows?
Q
Comments (29)
Its too bad OP couldn't just stay on the remodeling forum - why did he feel compelled to come here? This forum was set up specifically for the preservationist/restorationist (vs remodeler) so we wouldn't have to be bogged down with this and the vinyl siding issue every other post. Ughhhhh enough already. It's a lot like debating politics and religion. There are beliefs you are either on board with - or you're not. Re: old house windows, the beliefs we preservationists/restorationists operate from are a) there are very little energy savings with new windows (ie most heat loss is via gaps, air leaks, lack of insulation in basemen and attic and very little through the panes of glass/windows themselves); and b) when you add up costs of manufacture and shipping, short operating life, inability to repair them, etc. the "green" alternative really is repair/restoration of old double hung wood windows and c) cost - huge expense, short operating life & inability to repair adds up to not a very wise purchase Unless original windows are missing or too hopelessly trashed - some original windows from 1940s onward weren't great quality to begin with.

Can a plumber please help on alternative drain for American Standard ?
Q
Comments (15)
And I'll add this. I spent at least a month, reading every single review on the Amer. Stand. Americast Cambridge tub. The reviews were AWFUL with warnings of 'Do not buy this drain!" Over and over again. I can't hardly believe AS hasn't changed whatever the issue it. But honestly, folks shouldn't lose heart. It's easy to get the correct plumber pipes and fittings to create your own drain. All you need is the above types of parts. That push and lock drain has been functioning in another house for about 12 years with no issues. It have great faith in it! I hope others can see a way out of this dilemma like we did. We love the tub and now love the drain and overflow.

Adam and Allison had the advantage tonight, IMO. They got to sing their solos first, then Danny and Kris sang their duet followed by their solos. Adam and Allison finished the show with their duet....which was rockin'!!! So, Adam and Allison started the show and finished it, too. Since they're both rockers at heart, it's not hard to see that they had the most impact.

I LOVE Adam.
I taped his performance and played it over and over again. He is the best singer Idol has ever had.
Led Zeplin brought back so many memories. That was the 60's and oh was that a wild ride. He sang better than the original artist.

I love Danny and Kris but I knew both of them would struggle last night, which they did. Adam is very good and frankly, I don't even know why he's in this competition. With his experience in theater, he must have come across someone that has recognized and offered to help push his career. At this point, I doubt that there is anyone that really doesn't believe that he is going to win this competition. As for me, I'm still voting for Danny, as I think he's a well rounded performer with a great attitude.

I agree with Ann. But, Adam is sure to win. Glad he was found, if that is the case.

Young Allison will go places too!

I love Danny and Kris, but they will be next to go.

I'm with you as well, Ann. And I did think it was great the way the judges acknowledged that both Danny and Chris were not afraid to step outside their comfort zones and perform in a genre they don't normally do. That is something Adam did not do.

I would really like to see Idol eliminate those that are professionals, or semiprofessionals. Surely they can develop some sort of ruling, it isn't fair to the others.

I thought Allison was great. I will admit Adam did very well with his songs and the duet with them was Rockin!

Time for Danny to go though.

No, no... Danny needs to stick around for awhile. He's never been in the bottom three.. so I think he has a big enough fan base to keep him in the competition for now. I think any of the other 3 could go. Not that they deserve it, they are all really good.. but somebody's gotta go. :-)

Adam was great, and he certainly was in the genre. He nailed last week too, outside of his genre. I must have voted 100+ times for Adam! I liked Allison too, and she's made great strides in the past few weeks. Their duet rocked.

I'm not sure if experience in musical theater would be considered professional/semiprofessional if it's not in major regional shows or Broadway. A lot of Adam's past performances on YouTube seem to be from local shows/benefits/cabarets. Besides, if most of his experience is in musical theater, he may not have had the right exposure to the right people to advance a broader singing career. Isn't that what AI is about?

Reading Lynn's post made me think of something that hadn't occurred to me until now. Although Kris and Danny were both out of their zones with the rock last night, they both gave it their best. Although I like Adam and have thought from the beginning that he would win, I now remember how he changed Ring of Fire from country to rock. So, I would have to say that Adam's not willing to step out of the box and try things that aren't easy for him. Anyone agree??? I think the reason the various music genres are required each week is to show how well rounded each contestant is.

The judges on AI tell the contestants week after week to figure out who they are and sing with that in mind. Adam is a rocker so he takes whatever he is given and applies himself.

With that said, Adam is quite versatile. Go to YouTube and do a search for Adam Lambert Brigadoon and you'll see he can do something other than rock. And he does it extremely well.

I think on AI Adam wants to market himself as a rocker, just like Chris Daughtry did a few seasons ago.
