Adam Lambert
"If I can't Have You"
Dot's Live Reactions: I like you're connecting to the first part of the song. I see how you worked your scream in there… but I didn't really like it for this song. Other than that it was lovely.
Randy: Dude, you are ready right now! He is the hot one tonight America!
Kara: Adam, you're brilliant. Every week you up it for me. Tonight was the most memorable performance. The emotion and the way you connected was inspiring.
Paula: Tonight you chose to pick a disco song and not make it cliche… I felt your pain and emotional connection.
Simon: Did something we weren't expecting. (He thought it was gonna be Donna Summer) It was original and we'll remember it. Immaculate vocals.

Are you trying to "show them who you are?" Hmmmm.
Randy: It sounded so wild you can sing but it didnt show us what kind of artist you are. It was big and grande and you danced, but it didnt show your vocal control
Kara: not sureit was worth the wait. Youve been every other woman but yourself, but tonightthey still didnt tell you what you have as an artist.
Paula commented her on her vocal recovery.
Simon: Glad you had fun because he thinks its your lastweek because there was no originality, copy cat and the arrangement and vocalswere a mess.
Lil Says: I hadfun. Doesnt believe she was karaokeat all tonight.
Dots Advice: Well…. your song choice was much better. You did some good things vocally and were shaky on otherparts. I say, "just ….." visit http://www.dotsidolvlog.com and login for more notes.
