Adam Lambert, a peculiar one he is...
Pardon my political incorrection. Yes, he can sing. But as a general rule, I don’t like screechy vocals and I just plain don’t like him. Whether he wins AI or not, I can tell you that I won’t spend a dime on his music. Sorry to see Allison go... She has a much better voice than Janis Joplin could have ever hoped to have and she is only 17. I thought it would have been Danny’s night to go after that scream that had much of the audience covering their ears. Of the ones left, I find Chris the most interesting and listenable.
Adam can sing, but I could not sit thru an entire show of his vocal stylings. You know the scream is coming at some point and a well sung song is like a box of chocolates; you can only eat so much when they are all the same.
I have been a singer all of my life and own very few entire “albums” from A singer. I would buy Allsion and Chris’ music; I could listen to both comfortably for an hour. And Chris wears less make-up than I do and that’s always a plus on my list.
Danny is good, but gets a little more into the vocal runs than I personally care for (pick a freakin note and stick with it already!-IMHO)..that’s just me. He needs a look/style and doesn’t have one yet, but he will do fine as well.
Chris is the average-hunky-balladier and is the polar opposite of Adam; nuff said.
Somebody had to go home, but Allison is all set with a career; she has the look, the guts and the voice. She needs to be managed well-song choices and the like-and because of her young age, she could truly be a better listening choice for younger girls, instead of Britney, Christina etc.
Allison can really sing and performed MUCH better than Gwen Stefani who sounded like she needed an inhaler or some O2 most of the time. I kept reaching for my Advair from the moment she first started singing. Did she JOG to the studio from the airport? Weird.
Just my 2cents...thanx for the thread whoever started it...it’s a nice distraction.

I agree with you about Allison. She was my favorite of all of them. If she sounds this good at 17, think how great she’ll sound after a few more years of experience.
