I dont know how the rules work now that we are in the final round(s). But I think what would close the deal for Adam would be a performance of Stairway to Heaven. That song would be a perfect texture that would lock the deal.
Theres a lady whos sure, All that glitters is gold
Now Kris did wonderful tonight. Danny did well also, but I think Kris did one better than Danny.
Anyway, if Adam - if someone - is listening out there, Stairway to Heaven and win the derby. Youre a rocker, but the deal about Stairway is you can touch the audience with that classic and still be a rocker all the same.
Ooh, it makes me wonder
The tempo builds
. And then a rock out
and then
Imagine Adam, and the closing words sung as Adam can do it, And shes buying a stairway to heaven
Bingo, American Idol.
Adam is the next Steven Tyler...Definite Rick Star
But my fav has always been Danny Gokey..I like the sounds of Old Motown and he sings like that...
I’m with you nufsed on this one. All of them are really impressive, no doubt they would not have gone so far.
Yet, Adam is the one who, to me, really stands out. I have seen a lot of Danny’s, they can sing. But Adam, wow, he’s going to be something special once given the chance to cut an album.
Kris was super tonight. As much as Danny has a likeable persona, if I had to pick the next one to go, sorry it would be Danny.
Now, my wife knows where’s my head on this, and she’s a Danny “fan” so she doesn’t like my message. Yet, Adam really is special, and come on, get real. Let’s think about it in terms of releasing a cd. Who is the one that you can best imagine delivering a cd that could even possibly become classic vinyl?
Kris, would have a few selective “hits”.
Danny - he would a deliver a “ok to play with company around” cd.
Adam ... bingo ... classic vinyl. Potential for history.
That’s the difference. Not a few selective hits, but potential for history. If he had a band, it would go to the top.
Sorry, but I got to put in my five cents one more time - Adam can close the deal with “Stairway to Heaven”. But it could all come down to which song is picked. Wrong choice in the song ... can ruin it all for you.
But I think Adam isn’t that stupid. He will probably make the right choice at the right time .... he will think about it, and make the right choice whatever he decides.
Other point I want to say, I thought Adam did a class act when he praised Kris and Danny tonight. I just like the guy. He’s a class act.
The judges comments about the dancing were a distraction and irrelevant. Great singers don't have to dance, just move around a little on the fast songs.
My wife starts trying to vote for Adam before he sings. I had to hide my phone or she'll speed dial on three phones. Teeny bopper moves.
I like to hear Adam do ballads and wear the suits, but he's destined to lead a rock band for my money.
Allison is my girl and I said it earlier, the top five seemed very good to me.
I had a problem last week where it said thank you for voting for contestant no. _ which was allison’s number. I, of course, was voting for Kris. It only happened a few times out of over a thousand calls though, so no biggie
This week I could hardly get through. Same number of calls, but only about 100 votes got through.
I will give you the point about acknowledging the band and arrangers. Adam gets it in that sense.
Kris still has my vote though.
LOL!
I thought it weird that Adam had the pointy ears and sideburns right after the Star Trek movie comes out. But then I noticed that he has pointed wires coming out of both his earpieces, and realized that he was not actually from the planet Vulcan. (Though that might have explained a few things.)
WHY did they put toxic netting around these babies in Africa? Wouldn’t netting be good enough, without soaking it in toxic insecticides?
Best photoshop ever.
“Heartless” has totally STUPID lyrics, and the melody is dumb too. Kris did a far better job with it than Kanye, who actually cannot sing at all (he tried to sing live on SNL this season). A risky pick for Kris, but the judges thought he pulled it off.
I don’t see what he liked about it, which makes me doubt Kris’s intelligence, but it really doesn’t matter because the boy can sing.
They all three can.
I think Adam deserves to win, and either of the others is truly good enough for the finale, though I really like Danny personally — his smile is so cute. And I always like the smart ones, like Cookie last season. Adam and Danny both seem bright.
You may not have been in the 70s, where they did, indeed. From what I remember, LOL.
I don’t need to write my opinions out because you pretty much summed up everything I feel. Thanks!
This season has been pure crap. I usually made sure I would be home to watch and this season, I haven't bothered with several episodes. I just catch the vids online.
Youtube to the vid when Randy picked You Are So Beautiful for Taylor Hicks
No, LOL—I haven’t thought of anything good yet. I have prize-block :)
Give him a kidney or Air force 1. Better yet give him a bedazzler
Good point!
I think last night was Kris’s best.
