Came home and clicked the TIVO to watch Idol. It cut off right before Adam sang, for some unknown reason. Cait, I am glad you posted that the show wasn't
that good. Now I don't feel like I missed much.

Thanks Cait! That actually was one of the best performances of the night. I am not a big Adam fan either.

i think adam is a little annoying but there is no denying he is an amazing musician. i don't know how marketable he is, but he really is the best singer on
the show in my opinion. it'll be interesting to see how it plays out because someone like matt has a much better shot as a marketable solo artist. if
anything, i see adam going the direction of chris daughtry and ending up in a band if he doesn't win the whole thing.

I actually have to disagree with who is more marketable. Adam is a very well defined artist.... he has that whole glam rock vibe going on.. think
buckcherry...hinder etc.... that music genre has a definite following and with the AI exposure it would only be enhanced. Plus, Adam has a distinct
personality.... You know what you are getting with him. That is extremely rare for an AI contestant, let alone at this stage... Now I really enjoy Matt, but
who is Matt? He seems to be cut from the typical music cloth. Good voice, somewhat attractive but he is lacking distinction. He would put out some mainstream
pop cd and get lost I fear. I am not a huge Daughtry or David Cook fan. Sure they can sing but they bore me to tears... great MUZAK listening.

Scott sucked and Adam is still getting on my nerves. I think I'm done with this season.

In case you don't want to go to Perez Hilton's site here is another YouTube from WatchIdolInfo1 I think the guy is awesome and has every chance to make it all the way...
Edit: this version is even better__from AI's site: http://www.americanidol.com/videos/season_8/performances/

what the *(*)&^ was that?! | ||

Oh my lord, WHAT was that horrendous group number they just did on the results show?!?!?!? I'm used to them being cheesy and bad, but this was beyond
painfully awful. Ew. I would have expected much better pitch and harmony from the top 8! Ugh...

whoop! the right person went...won't spoil it for west coasters...but it was time.

Yep. Last night's results didn't suprise me. Even with two judges for and two judges against, they still didn't save him.
I guess I just saw more potential in him. I assume he had enough airtime to snatch a contract. I hope so. The network sees dollar signs with they look at Adam. It's not about the MUSIC with him. It's about the PERFORMANCE. Just what we need... another Lady Gaga. *cue background singers, smoke machine, wardrobe, orchestra, laser show, back-up dancers... and Adam* |

This week all the contestants sang their heart out. It is a tough choice. Adam was great but I could have done without the swagger down the steps. Kris is cute
as a button. Allison was fantastic ( I don't care what Simon says). Matt might be going. My fave is still Danny.

of the people who are left...i'm starting to think it could really end up being ANY of them winning...providing they keep rolling out good songs. don't
want to spoil the results for anybody on the west coast but rock and roll week next week is going to kick ass, that's for sure.

I thought this season sucked up until the last week or so, but now it's really grown on me. I think this is the best five top to bottom the show has had in
years. Everyone can sing, even if some are better than others. There are more personalities and more styles than I can remember. I'm actually really
interested now (again)!
I'm kind of with Cait...I think really any of them could potentially win it. And I think America got it right this week too. This top 4 is really good. I do think Adam has the best vocal range of any of the remaining contestants, but the thing about him and his type is every season, there is an Adam-like contestant. A guy that on paper very well is the favorite (or at least a top contender) to win the competition. But this person usually has something about them that annoys a large majority of people, whether it be a cockiness or arrogance or just something you can't put your finger on that gets on peoples nerves. Some past examples of this...Archuleta, Constantine, Daughtry, etc. There are more, but those just off the top of my head. Is Adam be that guy this season? I don't know. It would not surprise me at all though if he does not win because of "this" factor. Either way though, he'll have a career doing something in music. He's talented enough and enough people do like him that he'll make music. I have more to say, but I won't say anything else until after the west coast folks have watched. |

Richard...you are exactly right about Adam. When he went to bottom 3 last night, I knew he was going to have a hard time winning. Thank God he got rid of the
fingernail polish. Any of the remaining contestants could win. They all have to be on the top of their game...good song choices, arrangements, and personal
style. It really doesn't matter at this point. They will all have contracts.

I still stand by my prediction of Danny winning it all. He's consistent, he's likable, people can connect with him. And I just don't see anything
to be connected to with the others, even though I do think they're all fantastic singers.

Sad news that David Cook's brother passed away yesterday. He is a stand up guy and I know this is a difficult time for him.

A little bit tougher to pick tonight. Adam is definitely safe and I'd say he deserves to be. But I have to say, his performance was definitely good, but I
wasn't wow'ed the same way the judges were. I didn't think it was "pee my pants" good. I thought Allison was really good too. I did see a
lot more personality from her tonight. She was smiling a lot more and just really commanding the stage a lot better. I thought the duet between Allison and
Adam was great!
I thought Danny and Chris both were pretty lackluster and disappointing, but, this week did not favor them. I think they could've done themselves better. This is where song choice and arrangement comes into player. Even if you're not a rocker, you gotta make it your own. They both failed miserably. Chris was the worst wannabe rocker ever and Danny was dreadful at trying to be one. Prediction: Danny goes. I think Chris is more marketable and has a bigger following. I think he's more original than Danny too, even if Danny is the overall better singer. |

Well Richard, it's obvious that you don't recognize a Rock GOD like the judges do... and adam needs to quit the scharade and just let the Carol
Channing in him out.

just caught up on the episode after working into early AM last night.
what in the HELL was that sound that came out of danny at the end of dream on!?!?! jesus that was unpleasant. i had high hopes for allison and adam since this is obviously their genre and while both were good, i agree richard. i wasn't wow'd by either. their duet far surpassed danny and chris's though. based on performances, i think danny should go but i don't know if he will. america really seems to like him. i think if he hadn't busted out that horrible note at the end, it'd be a tougher decision on who to send home. |

Booo...
Wrong choice, IMO. It's going to be boring finale. |
