What Adam did to One was unpleasant. I never thought the "screech" critique he's been given online all season long was justified, but dayum that was all kinds of ugly, painful and wrong. Simon must be mortally afraid of another contestant snatching the Glitter God's crown because he sure didn't orgasm this badly when he assigned David Cook I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For last year.

Kris won the night with Heartless, to my thinking. That was a season highlight without question. But I would not have had a problem with Danny in the final at all because vocally he earned it, and the God versus Satan angle would have been inherently more dramatic than ...well...what we've got next week. image Unfortunately, his persona did him in. I thought his sing-out was lovely, though; he exited with class and the montage with Sophia was appropriate -- at last.
