They were two such different types.
On stage together, Adam made Kris look anemic and weak and puny. Adam just has an enormous presence.
I see Adam on Broadway doing Phantom or one of those vampire things. He reminds me an awful lot of Elvis,,at times I think he imitates Elvis.
Kris is a singer for a small venue,,I think he is superb but not at the magnitude of Adam.
Both were good. I sort of miss Matt, the bluesy guy, he was my favorite.
Adam certainly was a musical theatre actor. It looked like he was playing the role of AI contestant. He does have a loud powerful voice and did sing on key. Certainly, fans of musical theatre would have been voting for Adam. If there was a “musical theatre” radio format, Adam’s songs would be popular there. But there isn’t a “musical theatre” radio format. People liked to say that Adam was “rock” but he was acting, and he didn’t lack talent.
Kris is reasonably likeable, reasonably good looking, almost completely inoffensive, and is likely to be singing and strumming an acoustic guitar on a solid, inoffensive record that music directors in a number of formats will accept.
In an over-the-top, Rocky-Horror-Picture-Show sort of way.
