The rest of your post is just more victim apologias.
See you next week. You can decide which adult will need help at that time and spend your energy where you will.
I think her coming in the bottom three several times can be attributed to not appealing to the teenage girls who I would think post multiple votes; as opposed to my wife who tries it and falls asleep during the third redial.
” I thionk on Adam’s ballads he has just sat and sang. No theatrics. His rock and fast tunes have been theatrical especially compared to the other contestants.
I don’t know what the judges want on that issue. If you see some of the metal and hard rock, everything they do is theatrical. Look at music videos.
I think Adam has done broadway musicals. He brought something to the show we haven’t had in 7 previous years and I think it added to the competion.
I am amazed at the people here who won’t vote for a gay guy and who seem to think that all singing is done by heterosexuals. “
My wife and I like his singing , and hope he wins. The rest of the Idol experience / presentation is entertainment. His personal life is his own business.
To us Danny & Chris can’t match his vocal skills.
As I’ve stated before we’d love to see the finalists all have to sing the same song.
Make it one that tests all of their range, and in our opinion Adam will be the clear winner
I wish there was a Hell’s Kitchen thread, I’m for Danny, thank goodness he didn’t have to have Lacy or LA on his team
#10,072—I agree. I wrote earlier that I feel this whole AI season has been a manipulation by AI/19E. Adam gets national exposure and a fast track into the recording biz. AI/19E gets the cash. They have marketed him brilliantly....
And as far as 19E is concerned, the fact that Adam will be a flash in the pan (the squealing girls who think he’s a character from “Twilight” or something will quickly lose interest because they’re not into late 70’s/early 80’s style stadium rock) doesn’t bother them. They want to make a quick killing on a single album, and they’re not interested in any of the artists’ long term careers.
Adam, in my opinion, would better serve himself by tanking it on purpose (like Blake Lewis seemed to do), to avoid the 19E contract. His objective should be a Broadway gig, and the AI exposure will be sure to land him there.
BTW, have a GREAT weekend y'all, and a happy mothers day to all you moms here...
When I was a kid, we watched Ted Mack and I have loved talent shows ever since. It's difficult to this day to see some singer get booted when they are oviously more talented than someone remaining.
But as someone said earlier, it's as much a popularity contest as anything. And as my wife says, it's only a TV show.
Based on Kara’s comments to him, I believe they plan on marketing him as a retro 1970’s-80’s rocker, appealing to aging baby boomer women—or as it has been referred to on here, he will be the Liberace for baby boomer women. Kara claimed there was a “niche” for that market. What a scary thought—I see grandmas at Adam rock concerts trying to get up on their husband’s shoulders and lifting their Adam t-shirts to flash the stage...wow.
Liberace for cougars! Oh, my!! What a thought! LOL!
I was kind of pulling for Paula, but she got stuck with Lacey. :(
Giovanni has had about as much trouble as Andrea.
I was kind of bummed they didn’t do more last night. It was a big nothing.
I don't think you looked at his join date close enough.
Or throw their panties onto the stage, only to have Adam throw them back! lol
Wouldn't that be a hoot, to have a bunch of men tossing their undies at him! ha!
They are probably a retread and I think we know why. ;)
How many more dogs will stop by the hydrant today?
They?
Didn’t your mother teach you it’s not polite to talk about others behind their back?
I do hope that next year, they change the format a little bit though, it seems like every single night is the same scene.
” Agreed.

If you watched Ted Mack as a kid, then we are of the same vintage, and we have see a lot of singers in our day.
That’s what we are judging, recognizing that popularity can outweigh talent in some cases.
