Didn't one of the last ones to be cut before the final 13 put out a CD, one of the gals?
What's their rule on experience? Some of them are in local bands that play for money, but broadway and commercial CDs seems professional to me.

Ok I have a joke since you will not answer me.:)
Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty.
He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: “Jesus is watching you!”
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.
“Jesus is watching you,” the voice boomed again.
The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.
He asked the parrot: “Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?”
“Yes”, said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: “What’s your name?”
“Clarence,” said the bird.
“That’s a dumb name for a parrot,” sneered the burglar. “What idiot named you Clarence?”
The parrot said, “The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus.”

Wow forgot all about Scott. I was reading an article in the trades a couple of weeks ago and Phil Stacey is releasing a gospel album in August or September not sure which.
Wow! What a ... er, reunion. Good old Mikalah. (Shudder!) I liked Vonzell, though. My goodness, I wonder who thought up that casting?! LOL!
Sounds like someone wanted revenge for a lost casting roll and made the pairing. LOL! Castings can get weird sometimes.

Wow you wouldn't happen to be wearing black leather high top boots, black leather silver studded thong, black leather silver studded bra, and sporting a Samurai sword while you type by any chance? Or at least a skimpy cat-woman outfit. LOL After all you are the Retrokitten. 8-)

I know many are against Adam, not me, one hell of a voice. I agree with you there. Adam has done some amazing vocal acrobatics during some of his performances which I was in awe of. He has taken a lot of chances and pulled them off IMO he has done a good job.

I would like them expand the show and let them do a couple of 4-5min new tunes instead of revisiting old ones. But I know they only have x-amout of time to cover the older ones and learn the new ones. Also I would like them to have to write a piece on their own to get a better feel for their style. But I know they could not make this a rule because not all can create equally. But it would be nice to hear what they could come up with. Maybe an orgianal I-tune download to be consumed after the show.

I think Adam could have a great career pre and post AI. With the right band and mix of songs he could really be big. He has a producers dream type of voice that can go many ways and directions for song choices.
I think AI-19 at this stage should take a chance and form a band around him giving them a group name and hit the market like that instead of sending him out as a soloist. It would be first for them and good marketing thing for them to try.

This has been one of the best seasons on AI for me. Not only because AI has got smart and let them Rock more but because the 4 with the most talent at the start of the show made to the end. Which is unusual in it's self. I think AI did themselves so good by bringing in Slash and Jamie Foxx as mentors and making the show more relevant. It would have been nice if they had been better at choosing guests performers but hey it was still a really good season.
I wish Allison had made it to the final 2 but Kris deserves it because he has shown that he good musicianship in his arrangement of songs and ability to sing them. Kris has a really good chance at winning this so Adam had better bring his A game for the final. I think if Danny had not tried that Aerosmith song and instead went back to his roots and grabbed a Third Day song such as hhmmm so many to choose from say Revelation he might still be in it.
I would like Adam have to tackle something like Boston:More Than a Feeling and let him use that big voice. Then have him have to drop down to his lower register and do Creed: Higher or What If or a Third Day song for Adam say Slow Down or a Nickleback pick anyone of their songs for him. Well accept for Figured You Out might be a little to risky for AI TV :)
For Kris he needs to grab that electric guitar and do something like Collective Soul Shine or Hinder Lips Of An Angel or maybe a take on a female vocal such as Paramore, Flyleaf, or a Pink song.
I would like to see both Adam and Kris have to do Michael W. Smith Live The Life to make them both have to stretch out and build on a song. Or if you didn't know Randy used to be in Journey they could do Girl Can't Help It Lol had to put one in that had Randy with Jouney live on stage. Ok have fun can't wait till the final and see what happens.

Danny teaches singing. Not exactly an amateur.He was plucked out of a very small worship choir to act as director - I don't believe he had ever performed "professionally" in any capacity

Gotcha....I also just wanted my opinion out there. :)
