I do believe its rigged to some extent, but not at this level.

It just goes to show that American doesn't vote with their ears.

On the other hand Kris has been coming up each week and improving each week.

But Adam has given consistently outstanding performances wek after week. Even in his worse performances, he was still better than many of the other players. NO WAY that Adam should not have been in the final.

I do think Danny should have been there too. But there is no question in my mind and there hasn't been since they got out of Hollywood that Adam was headed to win.

I don't think Kris has the performing chops to make it as a concert performer. He has the vocal talent, but I don't think people will pay to see him in concert. I do think people will pay and pay big to see Adam. I know Adam will be a dominant force in entertainment. Concerts, recordings and movies.

I don't see Kris or even Danny having the impact on the industry that Adam will, win or lose. And people in the industry know it. The judges know it and have for a while.

Its only the teenyboppers eho do the majority of the voting that don't know it.

You know chris daughtry came in 3rd too and look how big he's become! He's actually more successful than the 1st place winner taylor hicks. Shows you how important winning american idol can impact their career doesn't it?

I think Danny was the best... I'm sad. :( I like Kris, but I really really dislike Adam. Adam will take it and I will SWEAR not to ever watch it again... but alas I will be sitting in my easy chair next January... watching Idol...

For some reason, Adam is generating such reactions among a large group of people. It may be his goth like appearance, or his slightly effeminate manner or the sexual orientation thing. Or maybe that he has been pegged the likely winner almost from the beginning and people dislike the front runner. I think that is part of why Danny was sent home early.

While Kris has come on strong during the last few weeks, I still think of him as more of a non-entity, then any of the others.

But for all of those who will vote for someone else because they dislike Adam, I have to remind them that this is a competition for the best singer/performer. The purpose of this competition is to find someone who will be a commercial success as a singer/performer to make more money for the producers of the show. There is no question in my mind (or the minds of many others, especially professionals who have the knowledge to judge, that Adam is that person. I think it's a shame that Adam had to resort to a contrived contest like Idol to get the recognition he so clearly deserves as an outstanding singer/performer. Win or lose he WILL have a better career that Kris.

By the way. I would love to see Adam do a revivial of Rocky Horror as Dr Frankenfurter.

classyT · May 14, 2009, 09:16 AM

Scott,

I will give Adam this much.. he is a natural. Never looks nervous, always hits every note, comfortable in his goth like skin... lol ( sorry, guess I don't like that look... I'm a fudy dudy). I closed my eyes to listen to him... I don't like his voice. Oh he can sing but it ain't sexy. I like the MALE voice. When a male is singing... he sounds too much like a woman. But I do agree it is a singing competition and he can hit every note unlike Kris. I'm STILL voting for Kris... hee hee. ( sorry if Taylor HICKS can win... ANYONE can... that year it wasn't a singing competition!)

P.S. Adam WILL have a great recording career, that is a given.I actually think all three will and so will the little red head girl.. she was AWESOME too.

I guess you don't like Frankie Valli either.

classyT · May 14, 2009, 09:24 AM

Scott,

I do actually. Maybe it is his tongue... drives me nuts the way he sticks it out. You know what else it could be.. I haven't LOVED any song he has sang. Not one.. don't worry, he is GOING to win it. I'd bet money.

I actually agree with a lot of that. The tongue sticking out bothered me a bit also. But I stopped keeping up with popular music in the 80s. A lot of the music of today turns me off. Like that Katy person who performed last night. I could hardly understand a word she sang. Many of the acts that have appeard on Idol have had me scratching my head. Many of the songs Adam performed I never heard of. But that's one of the reasons I'm so high on him. Even with a song I had never heard of, he made the performance enjoyable. He uses melody and lyrics like very few artists I have encountered. I think that's why the judges are so high on him. I think he's the standout artist they have been searching for since the show began.

classyT · May 14, 2009, 10:27 AM

I'm with you. I have NO CLUE who Katie was and I wasn't groovin to her either.

Oh well, if Adam wins he will deserve it, unlike Talyor Hicks! I am still rootin for Kris to knock it out of the park so it is at LEAST a contest.

Chris Daughtry should have won that year, but taylor hicks took the title, I have no idea how.. I guess he's a very popular person and he has lots of connections but well he can sing but I didn't expect him to win.

mum45 · May 20, 2009, 06:29 PM

Okay, it's the last night, between Kris and Adam. Any last minute guesses?

I am rooting for Kris, but thinking Adam will win.

Just cause I like Kris's humbleness. Not at all that he is A} From the South and
B} From ARKANSAS to boot!!

ScottGem · May 20, 2009, 06:35 PM

My problem with Kris is that he is too laid back to be a good concert performer. While Adam has the power to get people out of their seats that Kris doesn't have.

Adam deserves to win and he should win. If he doesn't win, it won't be on his talent, it is more likely a backlash against his persona. But win, lose or draw Adam WILL be the most successful Idol EVER.

Agree with you totally on all of it. Figure Adam will win for sure. He is star material. Have been rooting for Kris just cause he reminds me of ,you know, kid you see grow up at church, good singer, strumming on guitar, etc... someone you want to see succeed... (boy-next-door type thing)... Guess it's the small town thing I have in my soul, too! Although, Conway's big town by Arkansas standards!

Shhh, some people have not seen the end yet. :eek:

mum45 · May 20, 2009, 07:11 PM

WOW he did. I was surprised, and GLAD! But I still agree that Adam should have...

Shame on me, my southern roots may dry up.. Oh yeah, its probably the fact that I was born in New York. {But don't let the neighbors know... I paid a lot for that Birth Certificate from Atlantah}
