Um…the inappropriate comment came from our friend Overrated, who has taken his/her venom or gone away (I hope). Oh, and Thelma. She just hates on me, though I have no idea why…if she had any courage, she would let me know. If JP is reading, can you do anything about her? Thanks in advance…

So, anyway…on the positive, relevant to Idol front, we can just focus on what the singers will pick this week. We pretty much just did Adam…how about the others?

Wow..I just skimmed through all of these comments..and I am glad you all got it out of your system ! lol
I have a few comments….
first of all, if you don’t have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all….we went from discussing the performances,,to bashing gays, conservatives, guyliner, nailpolish..etc….WTF people…..get a life !!
If you like Adam ( whom I love)..or whether you don’t…you don’t have to be so mean about it…as to pick the poor guy apart….is anybody else on here picking apart the other contestants….the answer is “no”…it’s so trivial….
What started out to be observations and comments about the AI show the other night…turned very quicky into “hate” it was really disturbing to read….I wish I could figure out a wasy to delete a few of them…..really childish guys…stick to the topic would ya !!

Well…not sure whats 100% accurate on the contracts since none of us really sees them. But, yea, several #2′s did better, but often because they were just better and should have won (ie Clay Aiken, Daughtry etc.) Some of the winners did bad because they were voted on popularity, not because they were the best singers and performers and over time popularity does not sell records, singing does. So, if Clay or Daughtry had won, they may have been even bigger– dont know. But, one thing for sure, if you go big with Idol you go really big (Kelly, Carrie, David) and they have a lot more clout and publicity (which is worth $$$). I hope Adam goes big. Well…we know he will no matter what.

i totally agree..therefore, i dont know if i want adam to win, i want him to come in second, def, but he would have no freedom and end up singing crap that isnt him..

It must be the weather – or the moons or something

Re contracts, even though they are all under the same one, only the winner ends up having to sing whatever cheeseball winners song they come up with aka the thing that will haunt them for the first couple of years of their career. The rest, if they actually keep them under contract, get a bit more freedom with their albums. Which is I am pretty sure why #2 quite often out performs #1 in the short and long-term…

Dont know where I said Idol is watched by kids. I dont think it is, but I think Idol thinks it is. Hence their catering to that aweful singer Miley. And hey, I’m not making a big deal about the “thigh rubbing stuff”, only agreeing with whoever said it wasnt that tasteful. Personaly, tasteful or not, I dont think its the smartest action based on the mass audience.

Oh, and Willo, not sure if many are aware, but ALL Idol contestants are under the same contract. If they come in 1st or 5th they are still bound by Idol unless Idol releases them. As Idol surely will not release Adam (they know his value) he benefits most from winning.

wizkid, why are you making a big deal when you are an adam fan? accept him for who he is and move on. plz! also, i re-watched the perfromance 3 times..i saw NO crotch grabbing or thigh rubbing…
also..you said idol’s main audience is kids. i think thats false. I do not know any kids that watch idol. I know alot of middle aged 18-35 that watch it and some oldies. but no kids..and im not thrilled that my sister watches family guy but guess what comes on the cartoon channel? family guy, futurama, all that stuff…atleast she’s not playing video games all day!

I did just watch back Adam’s performance – specifically watching for him to “grab his crotch” – and nope. He never did. He grasped his belt a couple of times – more on the side – but not once did he reach down and touch himself inappropriately.

If you don’t like Adam – that’s fine. But don’t spread false rumors and lies around the internet like it’s gospel. The legal terms is called Libel – you’re dragging Adams reputation through the mud and you need to stop.

****************************
I love Danny – he’s got a unique gravely tone to his voice. When he’s performing well he’s fabulous.

I love Adam because of his flamboyancy. He’s not just a singer – he’s the whole package. My concern is he’s a bit too much for the American Idol fans – eventually he’s got to cater to a more Pop sound or he’s going to be in trouble. He’d be corrupted by TPTB if he did win Idol – for his career he’d be best coming in third and able to produce an album HE wants to produce and not the bubblegum pop that Idol produces.

Adam looked so happy tonight and I love when he said “whoa” after he finished. This show would be so boring without him. His star presence is unmatched. PERIOD.

Danny gokey is so mediocre.

Sara,
I agree…many like the singing broadway versions. If Adam keeps on his “cleaned up” swager and keeps singing some ballads in between he has a chance to win. If he diverts back to the over the top and “darker” numbers he will not. Right or wrong, the masses prefer what you and your gay friends do. So do i.

Since i’m not entirely lame I didn’t read all the responses but what I did read, I don’t know anyone that likes Adam and none of those people have really any religious affiliation at all (a couple are even gay) the people I know just aren’t into screaming dragqueens (and drag and gay are 2 different things so don’t pull that homophobic card on me). Not everyone is easily manipulated by the show’s weird and unjust obbession with Adam. And grabbing your crotch is innappropriate when the main audience is little kids!!!

Sue Brody, What else is new?

Newsflash. Danny is the favorite now and will likely win. When Lil gets the boot, who will pick up those votes? Danny. Adam could still win by leading among the other fanbases, though. Should be a fun final. Might as well book it now.
