    American Idol
    Well it is that time of year again and American Idol is in full swing. And once again I have been sucked in... Anyhoo, just wanted to get your thoughts on who you like, who you don't like. Who you think is going to win it all. Also wondering what you think of the new "judges save" this year. I personally think it is a good idea, however it has its flaws. The rule is that they can use it up until there are five contestants left. They referenced to years past when Daughtry got sent home and a few others. Unless I am mistaken I think in the past years when those upsets happened we were way below 5 members being left. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Also, I think it makes for a very uncomfortable moment between the contestants and the audience. It is bad enough that they find out that not enough people voted for them, then they have to sing again and hear one more time from the judges that they still aren't good enough... awkward...

    I have to support my hometown though... go danny gokie!!

    Anyone feel free to share your thoughts and comments... happy posting.

    She is very cute! I think as far as looks go she is the prettiest girl on there. I don't really like her voice that much but her cuteness helps... :-)

    I saw Simon and the crew on Jay Leno and they all agreed that this year it is going to be a guy.

    Since they have changed the rules and the panel has more of a say ,maybe they have picked the winner already.

    I think it will be interesting for sure. It seems as though each year they get stronger and stronger singers. My prediction is that the remaining two are going to be Adam and Allison.

    C'mon people. This was over weeks ago. Adam is so far ahead in talent its ridiculous. He is, in my opinion, the best talent EVER on the show. Its just amazing to me that he needed AI to get his due.

    I predicted long ago that the final two would be Lil and Adam with Adam winning. Lil is the only girl with talent to match up with the guys. The other two will be gone soon. Final 5 will be Adam, Lil, Danny, Scott and Chris. And they will drop in than order (first Chris, etc.)

    I also think the judges will save their Save until the last three to make sure Adam gets in the final if America doesn't recognize real talent.

    ScottGem, I whole heartedly agreed with you a couple weeks ago. But it seems lately that Lil isn't doing her best. She needs to stick with what she is familiar with. Also don't forget they can't use the "save" once they are down to 5 left. That's what kind of sucks about it. But you are completely right that Adam blows all of them away!! I totally agree!!

    I don't like Adam. He sounds exactly the same in all the songs he sing like they all have the first sounds. At first I was like cool but then I was like do you even know how to sing some other way? -_- But yah I support Danny too =P

    I'm curious if you have any musical talent. This is not to put you down, but if you think Adam's performances sounds exactly alike, I would suspect that you don't. The judges clearly don't agree with you as I don't.

    Adam has mixed up his performances doing different things, different sounds, different looks. He is so clearly in a class far and away above any other Idol contestant this year and maybe in all the 8 years.

    I agree 100% Scott!! He is by far the best "singer/performer".

    I am beginning to think that AI is rigged to some extent.

    I cannot believe that America did not give Adam enough votes that he had only the 4th most votes. No one really knows what the votes are, so that leaves the producers some room to stage things. My belief is that Adam's appearance in the bottom two last night, when he has never, ever been in the bottom three was a put up job by the producers to shake things up. It really didn't matter what the order was as long as the lowest vote getter went bye-bye. So the producers can play whatever games they want to. An interesting sidelight was having Hicks back to perform last night. Hicks was someone who snuck in even when there were much more talented performers that year. So it could have been a warning to voters.

    On the other hand, IF the order was real, it could be a blessing for Adam. The lower (alleged) vote total could have been from complacency with people not voting for him because they think everyone else will. So it may spur his fans to make sure they get in the votes for him.

    But I will repeat what I have said before. In my opinion Adam is the best performer to EVER grace the Idol stage. Whether he wins or not, will not matter to his career. He will outdo Jennifer Hudson's career achievements quickly.

    Well Gokey has my vote, but don't discount Adam and maybe even the other guy.
    For sure its going to be a guy.

    I only watched American Idol once... and that was when Clay Aiken was on it. After that I've found it to be a little bit annoying and a little boring... oh yea it also got in the way of Scrubs ;)
