I agree with you that one of the girls will win. If I had to guess now I would say Krystal, she has the star quality the rest of them don't. The only guy who seems interested in singing is Big Mike. I like him, not because of his "story" but the guy can sing.
Idol pushes a "story" through each year, last year Danny Gokey who I also loved, once again not because of his story which was awful and sad but that man can sing. He should have won hands down. Then I wouldn't even see Adam Lambert's name anywhere near Itunes store.
Thank God FR isn't "politicallly correct" and I can say this but AI has a history of pushing the PC people through mainly gays and blacks, regardless of talent. Fantasia shouldn't have won, look at her career, Ruben Studdard couldn't get a gig at a carnival, and then you have Lambert who didn't win but is being pushed still. Why? Maybe the eye liner and the leather. Seems someone in 19 Entertainment likes to push the PC agenda down our throats.
I know Clay Aiken is gay but it seems his gayness didn't overpower Ruben's blackness even though Clay Aiken was the better singer in Season 2.
Clay Aiken sang "Unchained Melody" as Randy would say "off the hook". Ruben meanwhile is where???
I don't know why I'm a sucker for this show. But I have a very bad feeling Todrick will be pushed down our throats simply because he is gay and black. The ultimate candidate for the PC Folk at 19 Entertainment.
I am not sure if Todrick is gay or not. Has that been confirmed? For some reason he didn’t set off my gaydar like that pointy-headed church boy in the onesie.
I love Danny Gokey, he is an amazingly nice person, but I also love Adam Lambert’s SINGING. I was disgusted by his behavior on that show, but he has an amazing voice and can interpret a song with emotion and intelligence. If he can calm down his sexuality and get over it, like his fans had to, he’d be great.
Big Mike is good, and pleasant. Not sure he’d get a clubful of people to buy tickets to see him though.
I don’t see AI as being that PC, because otherwise they would not have let go last night BOTH black females, one black male and an Asian male.
I don’t mind the stories if they are relevant. A guy who just lost his wife, that is huge. It WILL play into his singing and his career, as even HE explained yesterday. A starving single mother, that would be important to know, too, and make you feel her singing better, perhaps. But someone who has a grandparent with Alzheimer’s, well, that is just pushing it. What next? A brother with a broken arm?
