Ian Kilpatrick
ian: What did she do this time?

at 09:08PM 05/05/09

Darrel
warrior: I agree. Why do we need to hear the same thing over and over again.

at 09:11PM 05/05/09

JimGrubbs
aslan: Apparently Danny and Kris are more suited to helping little old women across the street than to sing Classic Rock...

at 09:19PM 05/05/09

Dan Cannon
cyberpapa: What numbers were Chris and Danny tonight?

at 09:33PM 05/05/09

JimGrubbs
aslan: If you're talking about when they sang, Kris sang 3rd and Danny 4th, but they sang a duet early in the show.

at 09:36PM 05/05/09

Dan Cannon
cyberpapa: Thanks! :)

JimGrubbs
aslan: @Reggie: Basically, what I said in my 2nd comment, but with a (in my opinion) condescending, knowing, "Slash and I" attitude.

@voxdel: Thanks! I try to save my picture posts and threads for genuinely significant issues, such as abortion, the effects of transnationalism, the economy, political appointments and outcomes on American Idol. :)

Juan
voxdei: @Aslan..
I don't see the value of having two Randy's :) I too would vote her off..

I want someone to tell Lambert that his high pitch scream he's been doing in every single song was overkill since week two...


at 10:47PM 05/05/09

Jacob
jacoblee: ...stinkin' unique people.

@ Aslan: I can't handle Kara's horrible attempted catch phrases.

Rachel
rachiebee: @ voxdei - EXACTLY! Adam is so boring and predictable at this point. Why are they all so ENTRHALLED with him, still? I mean, really...I can plan out his performance every week: wear heavy eyeliner, try to look really punky, pretend I'm not waaay too old to pull off my attitude/clothing choices, dance around the stage provocatively, and throw in a good 4 or 5 different screamy-tongue-sticking-out high notes, so the 15 year old girls scream.

I personally thought Adam's performance was the worst, because that song is CLASSIC, and he murdered it. It just turned into another boring Adam song. Lame.

I can't believe how horrible the judging was last night. I will agree with Kara's statement on Danny and Kris not fitting the classic rock role very well, but I thought that their duet of Renegade was awesome! I love that song and they killed it (Danny was better, tho :).


at 07:45AM 05/06/09

Jacob
jacoblee: It's called creating an image. Being recognizable. Apparently it helps you sell records. I could tell you exactly how Coldplay is going to look and do a song. How about U2. I believe the goal is consistency, therefore, the judges love Adam.

I like him the most out of the guys, but Allison is my favorite.

Nichole Miller
nichole: The thing I don't get is Kara did not like Adam at all at the beginning. Like... at all. She constantly complained about him being to theatrical - as did most of the other judges. And now.... nothing has changed... and she LOVES him and he can do no wrong. I don't get that. I have never been someone to think that the producers are trying to throw the competition but sadly this time I do. And IF they are... and IF my theory is correct... it's kinda sad for Adam. I think the fact that he has talent is unquestionable. But the judges are so extremely opposite of how they were at the beginning it's hard to not believe my little conspiracy theory. Am I right? haha.

at 09:22AM 05/06/09

Nichole Miller
nichole: Sorry I meant "TOO theatrical".... goodness that's going to bother me. haha.

at 09:22AM 05/06/09

Jacob
jacoblee: If this theory were correct, they must have started out trying to get everyone to vote for Danny.

I used to like Danny, but he bores me now.

Kris is super good, but the tone of his voice drives me crazy.

In my opinion, Adam is the only unique singer left. I like him, and his cds may sell good, but:

Allison is my favorite and the most likely to earn a slot in my iTunes with her solo debut.


at 09:44AM 05/06/09

Nichole Miller
nichole: Well I'm sure they want the finale to be between Adam & Danny. Their comments towards Danny have been consistent even when what they said had no effect on the country-wide vote. So...... yeah, I don't know about a conspiracy there. :)

at 11:20AM 05/06/09

JimGrubbs
aslan: @rachiebee: You're right, technically Kara "was" correct, but what I was bothered by was "how" it was said. Someone can say, for instance,, "oh, you're a Christian." and be correct..... but sometimes it can leave you wondering whether it's a compliment, an observation, or a put-down. As we've all learned all too often here on bu2, it's ALL in the delivery, not necessarily "what" someone says, but "how" they say it.

@jacoblee: The "uniqueness" of Adam, is theatrical movement on the stage, lighting, eyeliner, hitting a high note at sometime in a performance (admittedly, an excellent vocal range), and sticking out your tongue at some point in the performance. Wasn't that all done in the 80's (or by Michael Jordan)? I was very impressed the 1st time or two...since then he has been "anything" but unique. Instead, he's very predictable. If I wanted unique alone, I'd have supported the comedy guy. Ever heard of Tiny Tim (the singer)? Where is he now anyway? What about flexibility, versatility, personability along "with" vocal quality....?

Zachary Beach
zacb: aslan who is your favorite

at 02:09PM 05/06/09

JimGrubbs
aslan: @zacb: Danny overall, but like Jacob, Allison is my favorite girl, hands down. :)

at 02:14PM 05/06/09

Juan
voxdei: I believe Danny will win with Adam as the runner up. However, Off the line Adam will supersede with better record sales and overall chart placings. But Danny will have a better career overall. I think Danny champions everyone with musicianship and overall likeness.

at 04:13PM 05/06/09

Rachel
rachiebee: @ jacoblee - Allison is also my favorite. And I don't really agree with what you said...look back at David Cook. He was NOT predictable. Every song was reworked and made into "his own." He was a perfect example of my idea of an "American Idol." Although, I will admit, Adam is awesome vocally. I just think he's totally boring. Danny is also starting to get really boring, and as much as I love his sweetness and story, I really don't hope he wins. I would probably never buy a CD by him. Allison on the other hand, dang...she is GOOD! I have never heard such amazing vocal control. I Was SO offended when Simon told her that she was lucky to have the duet with Adam, because it SAVED HER this week! WHAT A JOKE!

Well, we shall see what happens tonight!


at 05:46PM 05/06/09

Juan
voxdei: Allison is just another Kelly Clarkson...

at 06:10PM 05/06/09

Rachel
rachiebee: True...but I think Kelly is pretty rockin. One of the best Idol's to date. I do think Danny is the most likeable, too. But, you know, to be honest, I really just haven't liked this season that much. I haven't "loved" anyone. I just think that Allison is best talent-wise, especially considering her age.

at 06:46PM 05/06/09

Nichole Miller
nichole: um..... thanks???? delete please so it's not ruined for anyone else.

at 07:33PM 05/06/09

Rachel
rachiebee: Oh sorry! Didnt even think about it. Not trying to ruin anything, promise. Thanks for deleting. :)

at 08:49PM 05/06/09

Juan
voxdei: that was a bummer to see.. haha...

at 08:52PM 05/06/09

Rachel
rachiebee: What? My comment or the show? ;)

at 08:53PM 05/06/09

Nicole Franklin
lilmama: Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one with the same complaints. I have been watching this show since season one faithfully. And, I have called the winner early on every year. EXCEPT for this year. It is clear the judges are pushing for Adam, but I don't get it. I don't think he is "all that". I don't think he is a true artist. I think he is an actor, he fills a roll, copies or acts. That is different than a true vocalist or musical artist. Danny and Allison are vocalists, Kris is an artist.

Anyway, I don't know why or when the judges decided they wanted Adam to win but unfortunately they have a lot of pull and influence over the competition. This is the first year I am in direct opposition to their comments and cannot pick the clear winner.

I am HOPING it is not Adam.


at 08:57PM 05/06/09

Nicole Franklin
lilmama: Oh yeah and Kara is SO redundant.

at 08:58PM 05/06/09

JimGrubbs
aslan: @lilmama: I deleted your last comment in case someone has DVR'ed the show

at 10:05PM 05/06/09

Nicole Franklin
lilmama: oh ok, no problem!

at 10:19PM 05/06/09

Linda Lee
lindalee: Adam is a poser :) ... an amazingly talented actor, and singer with a huge vocal range ... but not a rock-god (what?!!!), let alone rockstar. not sure what they are thinking ... maybe $$$ ? he's probably a really great guy I'm just done hearing him now. allyson IS a rockstar :) I love danny's voice, such texture, and love chris' style ... he's probably my fav .... i think .... today anyway :)

at 10:38PM 05/06/09

Linda Lee
lindalee: p.s. i thought allison was absolutely amazing last night!!

at 10:41PM 05/06/09

Amanda
sinyarda: So many Adam haters:) I love him. I think he is consistently amazing at every song. I don't dig the screaming but ya know. I love Danny and Kris too though. Im torn! I wouldn't miss Allyson at all. Is that mean? I just don't like her voice. I didn't watch Tuesday's yet so maybe I'll see something to change my mind.:)
I also think the show is really pushing Adam, ever notice he always has these grandios entrances and special lighting? No wonder the others can seem dull by comparison? Not fair....but I still like him.:)


at 09:34AM 05/07/09

Joyce Cannon
cybergrammie: Whew!! :) How did I miss this until now?! It will be interesting to see how this turns out for sure!

at 10:46AM 05/07/09

Myriah Grubbs
myriah: Interesting season. I like Danny. He may be getting boring lately, but, in my opinion, the recent themes haven't been lending to his genre. Allison is amazing. She can SANG!!!!!
Adam can sing, but his style is revolting. I agree with Jacob, the sound of Chris' voice grates on my nerves, even though there's no doubt that he's talented. Just not my taste...


at 11:43AM 05/07/09

JimGrubbs
aslan: I guess by now everybody knows Allison has departed...... too bad. I, personally, loved "both" her voice and singing style. At this point they're ALL so talented that it seems more appropriate to be "for" someone than to hope someone else is eliminated.

@amanda: I agree that Adam's performances have many more stage effects than the others..... no doubt a result of his stage theatrical background. I wonder if things like lighting are a decision of the show's producers, or at the request of the individual contestants....? Adam's performances look much more professional as a result, regardless of who is responsible.


at 04:37PM 05/07/09

Nicole Franklin
lilmama: I have a feeling the contestants have a say in their stage lighting and props, because the judges have said to them before, "i would have liked to see you sitting on a chair, with a spotlight..." They wouldn't say that if the contestant had no control over it.
