    Didn’t one of the Idol contestants just sing this on the show a couple of weeks ago? I think it’s someone who’s gone now, fancy that.

    Adam totally blows them out of the water with this one! He rocks on everything.

    ADAM FOR THE WIN!

    No. No one sang this on season 8 of AI. I was hoping Anoop would have done this song during “songs from the cinema” week (from Batman Forever).

    He leaves you breathless…always wanting more

    This is insane… His vocal control and pitch are absolutely amazing at the end of the song. He is someone who has perfected his craft and he deserves to win AI.

    STUNNING.

    Adam FTW

    Don’t forget to vote…the tide is beginning to turn and the backlash has begun…I kid you not…

    What a beautiful performace!

    And yes, someone had performed this song, Danny, at the Hollywood week.

    And according to Ricky Minor, Adam and Scott wanted to perform this, Adam ended up choosing BTBW instead.

    By the way, talking about Adam performances, here’s a very interesting Simon interview:

    TVGM: What’s been the best performance of all 8 seasons?
    SC: I think “Mad World” was one of them.

    Thanks for the link to the interview!

    This is my favorite excerpt:

    Do you Twitter?
    I only found out about Twitter a few weeks ago. And of course the person who’s always on it is Ryan. Twitter is made for Ryan, where he can talk like a 15 year old. He knows the language, all the horrible abbreviations. And also have the ego to assume people are interested in what you’ve got to say. It is as strange to me as picking up the phone now and dialing a number randomly and saying, “Hi, what are you doing for dinner tonight? Because I’m having a cup of tea, are you interested?” It’s just too odd.

    Psyched for Tuesday night!

    Adam’s cover of “How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore?” (Prince) from the Upright Cabaret was also posted today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Oq_7jYUvo.

    Reason why Adam is epic #451: he orders dessert (chocolate) in the middle of the song. ^_^

    That’s it?! don’t impress me by his performance, I like the original version, very predictable as usual screaming as always! correction! not all Adam performance is great. PEACE!

  12. Mike wrote on 27. Apr 2009

    Definitely not a great performance from Adam, but then, that’s not the type of song he likes. It was ok, and the best aprt was he showed off that he can go below his upper register and still sound pretty good. As was pointed out, Gokey sang that song in Hollywood, and though I’m sure many will claim that Adam sung it better just because you like him better, the truth is that’s a song right in Gokey’s wheelhouse, and he sounds better then Adam does on that song. In the same vein, I don’t think Gokey could sing Tracks of my Tears or Mad World with the same effect Adam had on me.

    Gokey the Gokester sang this during Hollywood. Of course i prefer HNN’s version :D

    Watch this: Adam sing HOW COME YOU DONT CALL ME by Prince. Hurry before it’s taken down by Prince’s lawyers

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Oq_7jYUvo

    It’s worth the wait :)

    I love that song from Adam. I, like many here, am just into Adam’s sound. Love the quick crescendos. I know it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Steve Tyler, Janis Joplin, James Brown and on and on–not everyone loves that kind of sound. I do. Always have–always will. I think Adam does it the best of them all.

    My nickname amongst friends and family is Marie Barone. Not because I look like her–but because I cook like her. Even I, every now and then, can make a flub. Expectations of perfection–not always able to produce. We are putting the bar for Adam unreasonably high, I think. He will not disappoint most of the time.

    Adam fans–VOTE! Do not assume he is safe. This week or for the rest of the shows!

    All the freaking out about how “the tide is turning” and “Adam is at risk” just cracks me up.

    Folks, Adam is leading this thing by at least 2 to 1. Sure, vote for him like you always have, but this thing is already over. Now that they are singing multiple songs, Adam will shine even brighter. The chances that these other contestants to deliver TWO great songs every night? No.

    All the buzz about Kris? Look at the posts on his AI Blog. He has less than 10% of Adam’s posts. The only online poll where Kris is even close to Adam is that EW mess and they are 24/7 in pimpage of Kris. In other words, Kris supporters read that blog just like Adam Supporters read this one.

    I like Kris, but he won’t win.

    Remember how last year everyone was freaking that David Cook was at risk and DA was gonna pull it out? Then DC wins by like 11′d million gazillion votes?

    I loved his Prince song, I have never heard it and it was new and fresh for me….anyway, he could sing the phonebook and make it interesting, and I would never look at another pnonebook the same way …ever !! lol

    Adam can do no wrong to me….

    Never mind “There’s Something about Mary”…

    “There’s Something about Adam !”……

    i’ve seen in on the AI forums (and contributed *blush*) but it made the MTV news!

    Words of wisdom indeed :D
    Anyway, i just came across some article from a paper that i never read that ranks the best five performances of the season and gives Kris TWO spots, and Adam only one with Mad World. Matt (?) has one with So Small and Allison one with I cant make you love me. Its TRAVESTY let me tell ya. Lol. But seriously, it is, just that i don’t care (that much) any more. Drumming up a “close” finale will sell more papers i suppose.
    But there’s no denying that Kris’ popularity is going up. Sigh.

    Adamgasm is a GREAT word! How could she have left that out? Is it not PG enoug? :D

  22. suebrody wrote on 28. Apr 2009

    Bill, it REALLY isn’t over. That kind of thinking especially means it isn’t over. Kris is gaining a lot of momentum. Don’t take anything for granted. If you want Adam to win, and you don’t vote for him, it won’t happen (best examples: Daughtry and Archuleta).

    Great Prince cover, BTW. Adam never fails to impress.

    DON’T FORGET TO VOTE

    In another WTF moment of Season 8, Jamie Foxx is the surprise mentor tonight for Rat Pack Week! lmao.

    To be fair I guess, he did play Ray Charles, and there’s no original members of the Rat Pack still alive. So I guess Jamie is the next best thing? lol

  24. Glenda wrote on 28. Apr 2009

    No, sue is so right–this IS NOT over. Foresight! Last night of Idol. Ryan says, “And the winner is…” and it’s not Adam. And you didn’t bother to vote (or enough). Gives me hives to even think of this.

    I know–Adamgasm, I believe that came from the Brits. They love Adam and will steal him from us in a heartbeat! VOTE!

  25. Downeast wrote on 28. Apr 2009

    AMEN to voting! Last week we moved, and I have no way of using dialidol to cast my usual 500+ votes at the new abode, AND we don’t have television here.

    So tonight at 7:45 (after Spoiler Watch here) I have already informed DH that I will be driving back to the old house to watch AI and crank up the voting software for HNN. So i will be sitting in an empty house by myself with a computer and phone.

    i think I need professional help!

    I’m happy for Chris…But…Adam was more deserving to win! I tried to vote for Adam Tuesday evening after the show and all I got were busy signals ( For four hours of the voting time ). Did anyone else have this problem? I’m just curious why that is. And the state of Arkansas can get off 38 million votes when I just got busy signals?! I think Adam will do better coming in second for the reasons he will be able to pick and choose now from all the many choices he will get from record companies and etc :) Good Luck with your new career Adam! You are a ROCKSTAR :)
