Noop's gone

As I predicted, Rounds and Noop Dogg were ousted last night. Rounds actually seemed relieved probably because she was getting tired of the judges coming down on her and because she missed her husband and kids. However, Noop Dogg genuinely seemed disappointed. Frankly, at this point, much of this is a popularity contest. I'm not saying that the contestants can skate by with mediocre performances but I think America knows who they like and will pick for their favorites. I also think that Lambert is probably far and away the winner. I say this because he mixes up his performances with different types of songs, his acting background have made him by far the best performer, and then the judges only pump up the crowd/America even more. Even if the judges like someone else's performance, they commend them somewhat timidly. However, when they like Lambert, they are yelling and screaming at how great he is. Again, this only adds to the excitement surrounding Lambert.

I imagine he is running away with this thing. You could probably eliminate Giraud and Allison right now too and just get down to the final three. The only chance that Kris or Gokey have is that they can take over the votes of those voters that were supporting those that had fallen off.

One final note, I found it ironic that Noop probably looked/dressed his best last night.

Frankly, Anoop is a far better singer (vocalist) than a lot of the others - but he just doesn't have "IT." He is not that great of a performer. But I think he can learn some of that with his vocal talent.

I fully expect him to get his contract and be a well-known artist. Heck, there will be some rich Indian person who will finance his career if he cannot find a legitimate big-name label who wants to sign him.
