BEST thing i’ve read in days!Yes i’m baffled by the magnanimity displayed by a portion of Adam fans: “Allison needs our help!”, “Kris needs our help!” GOD. It pains/annoys/confuses me to no end. People have said that they’ve never seen anything like this before.
I just hope people realize that NOBODY needs their votes more than Adam right now. And as far as I’m concerned, nobody deserves the votes more.

I’ve never seen anything like it either. Danny must be laughing his ass off.

If I were Danny I’d hope Allison goes out next week. Most of the vote-splitting that goes on is Adam fans voting for Kris in this absurd belief that this will result in a “Kradam” finale. No it won’t. In fact, the only thing this vote splitting will ensure is that Danny reaches the finale. As has been pointed out Danny’s fans are most assuredly NOT vote-splitting.

I hope this near disaster wakes some fans up but I have my doubts. I think fans who are only fans of Adam will vote harder but Kradam fans will still vote-split not realizing or maybe not caring that their votes are just canceling each other out and helping Danny.

enigmaticaAdam fans need to realize something—Danny’s diehard fanbase don’t split votes.When your pastor has told you that you are staving off Armaggedon by voting for Danny, you don’t throw pity votes to the equally/more talented competition

BEST thing i’ve read in days!

Yes i’m baffled by the magnanimity displayed by a portion of Adam fans: “Allison needs our help!”, “Kris needs our help!” GOD. It pains/annoys/confuses me to no end. People have said that they’ve never seen anything like this before.

I just hope people realize that NOBODY needs their votes more than Adam right now. And as far as I’m concerned, nobody deserves the votes more.

It is doubtful that I will ever watch the preliminary episodes ever again. Here is why:

This year I grew to like Matt a great deal by the time the Top 36 were chosen. He was my favorite by leaps and bounds. And what did I have to base this on: “About 2 minutes of singing: a few seconds of his initial audition, a few bars of a beautifully performed “Georgia On My Mind,” and a really neat Hollywood performance with his group called ‘White Chocolate’.

I mean I really loved Matt….and I still do.

But in the early rounds, I saw very little of Allison Iraheta, or Kris Allen (who was also in White Chocolate).

I found Adam Lambert to be sickening as he sang some strange version of Cher’s “Believe”

As for Danny, I was totally turned off by his sob story (which was sad, indeed)….and I was also turned off by the story of his best friend also trying to make it on Idol…..

………….

Now that Matt is out. I can put my ‘first love’ to rest and look at the final four more objectively.

Here’s how I rate them.

Fourth: Adam…..Sorry folks…the guy can sing, but so can the others. I hope he goes home next week.

Third: Allison…..don’t ask me why…..she’s just third.

Second: Kris….I really like this kid.

First: Danny…. I am ashamed that I let the preliminaries prejudice me against this very talented guy. His voice is distinctive…. He’s always on key…. For him it is perfectly fine to sing things just as they are written…… I put him in a class with Tony Bennett, or any of the other crooners that have stuck around for ages.

I’ll be happy with Kris or Danny. I do miss Matt. But in all honesty…. I do think Danny is our man.

He says:
“That being said, it doesn’t mean the show won’t take some liberty with the order that the other two low-vote receiving contestants are told to sit down, he says.

After the votes are collected and tabulated by AT&T and the show’s survey firm, Telescope, “all we’re told at the end of the day is, ‘Here are the Bottom 3,’ ” he says. “And we make whatever we can out of that and turn it into a show.”

Yes exactly what you said.

Line of the day: “When your pastor has told you that you are staving off Armaggedon by voting for Danny, you don’t throw pity votes to the equally/more talented competition ”

enigmatica,, I spit coffee all over my computer… lol

Adam fans need to realize something—Danny’s diehard fanbase don’t split votes. When your pastor has told you that you are staving off Armaggedon by voting for Danny, you don’t throw pity votes to the equally/more talented competition (or, in Kris’s case, MUCH more Christ-like church leader type).

ETA: Before I get crap thrown on me about picking on Christians, I AM A CHRISTIAN. I simply find it DEPLORABLE to purposefully misuse the body of Christ as a homophobic weapon, or as a tool to win a competition all about anything but God. Jesus loves Adam just as much as the other contestants. Heck—considering the immensity of his multiple talents, I’d say God has Adam’s back fully.

Taylor Swift is the QUEEN of teenage country, and is pretty much the hottest young woman in country music today, if you don’t count Carrie Underwood.

Well, Miley Cyrus so totally overpowered her when they sang the duet – and it didn’t seem intentional either, credit to Miley! They really sang very few of the parts together, but when you heard Miley and then listened to Taylor, it was drastic.

There was such a disparity between their voices, it made Taylor look pretty bad, IMO. And she is a great singer/songwriter too! I think that anyone can be dwarfed by a singer with a HUGE voice like Adam. I would much prefer an Adam/Allison finale! That would be fantastic, I hope it happens!

I remember years ago–being a HUGE Patti LaBelle fan–I watched a music award show on TV. Patti and Diana Ross sang a duet. Patti went full force–and I do mean FULL force. When they sang together–you only saw Diana’s lips move. When they sang separate–Patti was level 20–Diana was level 8.

Patti got BLASTED–BLASTED for that. It actually affected her career badly. The fall out went on for years.

If Adam is paired w/ Kris–he HAS to be careful not to repeat poor Patti’s mistake. I hope he is with Allison or Danny–I prefer Allsion!

I know one thing – I’m going to have knots in my stomach both Tues & Wed night. And I hope for 3 more weeks!
