So, it was Grand Ol' Opry Night on Idol with Randy Travis as mentor. I don't even know where to start. The mini-interview packages before the singers made Randy sound like a real ding-bat. The song choices were very odd. I think my favorites were Kris Allen and Matt Girard, but it was such an up and down show that I am a bit confused.Adam's performance was a real head-scratcher--tackling the Johnny Cash classic "Ring of Fire" with a middle-Eastern, sitar-y touch was ballsy.
Allison Iraheta was pretty good.
Danny was pretty good once he got started but the beginning was rough.
All in all not my favorite Country week. No one really threw down and went for it. Mostly forgettable. meh.

I agree with you about the song choices. I wonder if there were publishing issues that limited the selection the contestants had.
I actually liked Adam's rendition, mainly because he never fails to surprise me with a riff somewhere in the middle with those incredible pipes. I thought it was a risk. My favorite is NOT Megan...her vocal limitations will eventually do her in but Anoop....oh yeah. That was amazing.
