Finals!

I’ll pull for Cris, never voted before so I just hope he wins.
I think most will like Cris but more of the type of people who actualy call and vote will be for Adam.

But if top 2 were within 1 million votes, Cris will be more likly to pick up Danny’s votes so it going to be a win for Cris, everyone has made up there minds, nobody is going to change who they like based on the songs they sing next tues.

And you stood up Matt's Mole! :(

Okay, he wanted to go to ARBY'S!!!?!?! WTH?? He was in a tux, so I figured I'd at least get a trip to TGIFriday's.

NOPE.

Arby's.

He was like, "But they have horsey sauce!!" Like that sweetens the deal??

Whatever.

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.

That's actually in the FR terms of service for all FR women. We can also wear school girl uniform and skanky nurse's uniform.

Don't hit post ... don't hit post... don't hit- oh crap

For Kris he needs to grab that electric guitar and do something like Collective Soul Shine

That would be a great choice for him!

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.

Exactly, that hardly makes him a professional.

Me too...I don’t think it looks a thing like Adam...more like Mr. Bill after being run over by a bus!

Chris has produced and recorded his own album prior to Idol.

If I may interject a comment: I travel a lot to Memphis and frequently pass by Sun Studios where Elvis recorded and where anyone even today can walk in and record and produce their own album. There is a vast difference between the "professional" experiences of Kris and Adam.

Do I get a prize? ;-)

How about a dream date with Dunkleman! :-D

I found this old post looking for something. A few seasons ago, I won a "dream date" with what's his face, the blond kid.

Umm...why do I keep winning dream dates?? LMAO

No question Adam is more “ professional “ than Kris or any of the other competitors for the whole season.

My observation is that the final 4 are all beyond amateurs in one form or another.

Appreciate your insight into how Sun Studios works. Didn’t know that.

Agree , he’s not a pro like Adam, but also feel he’s a lot more than a singing amateur”

In any case he is a great talent, and I hope he enjoys success.

Enjoyed many of his songs, his style, and have great respect for his personal challenges.

“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. “

Nice summary and suggestions.

Get this back to the competition side, remove the personalities and let the performances decide the winner.

” 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. “

Don’t know that they have an experience filter.

That’s proven by Adams obvious professional experience, and to me having sold a CD for money, or won other competitions.

In the end voters will take all that into account. To me let the songs be a challenge for both, and may the best person win.
