    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!!

    Who is the next American Idol?
    who do you guys want to or think should be the american idol of 2009? =P

    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".
  • Apr 30, 2009, 07:58 AM
    ScottGem

    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.

    It is just my opinion but I think some people don't vote for Adam because he is gay. Im not stereotyping or anything. I think Adam is more of a performer, but it is a singing competition, I don't think his vocals are that strong compared to Danny's.

    I sincerely doubt that. Most of the voting is done by pyoung people who don't really care.

    Well I am really glad that Danny is in the top 3 which means he's coming home!! Tomorrow to be exact. It's a nice feeling to have a home town boy be on this year!! Go Danny.

    Having said that, as much as I would love to see Danny win, I think Adam is going to take it this year.

    I was hurt when they let the rock chick go, But I do believe its going to be between Kris and Adam and not Gokey. But Adam will still WIN!

    No, last night they said AMERICA voted a record 64 million times (I had 324 of them). They have NEVER revealed who got how many votes. The most they have done is tell how many votes separated the last two before they kicked one of them.

    Kris should have gotten the boot this week not Allison.

    Adam has been consistently great week after week. I think there was one week were he wasn't fantastic, but he was still good. Everyone else has had ups and downs. If Adam doesn't win, then the voters are fools.

    Well I don't like Adam. It has NOTHING to do with whether he is gay or not... I don't like his voice and I don't get why everyone thinks he is all that. I like Danny...

    Yah I don't like adam's voice to. It doesn't really sound like a singing voice. Not that I can sing better but compared to like danny's

    I can't help but say this and I know there are a lot of Adam fans that will not like my comment but here goes. I think that Adam doesn't "need" to win American Idol. He is going to have a singing career either way, and some record company will snatch him up in a heartbeat.

    So having said that I think that America should focus on voting for either Danny or Chris and based on last nights performances, I think it should go to Danny. I find myself focusing more on Chris's mouth movements that he does rather than his singing which the mouth thing is a little distracting. I don't want to criticize him because that is just how he sings but for me its distracting.

    Kanicky,

    It should GO to Danny. I NEVER agree with America except for last year... I get so mad! Lol... (nope it doesn't take much. ) go danny go!

    Danny is my fave; has been from the beginning. But at this point I think all of the Top 4 will be great recording artists.

    I don't like Adam; just not my kind of artist but I respect that he's a good performer. Even though Alison got voted off last week, I still think she has a great voice.

    I agree that win or lose, Adam will have a career that surpasses any previous Idol contestant including Jennifer Hudson.

    However, I think all of the top 5 and most of the top 10 will have good careers based on their Idol exposure. I don't think winning or losing at this point will affect that. So our votes should be based on who we feel is the most talented singer. There is no question in my mind that its Adam. I've felt that way from the very beginning. And I backed that up with 400 votes last night. Its clear the judges think the same way. If Adam does not win, it shows that many voters do not regard this as singing competition but a popularity contest.
