American Idol Top 4 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[corvair]

I am a Adam supporter all the way...

I didn't like crying so much either last night...but it wasn't because of Adam...I agree...the back up singers were really bad...and for most of the song ..that is all you heard...

I don't know the song, One...so i wasn't sure how I felt about it...but watching it again, and again on U tube.....it is so good...Adam really puts all his heart and soul into this song...

I am not a rock and roll fan...but Adam is so talented and charming...how can you not fall in love with him...and I am 50

I will, I think I got sick from Saturday so I'm off to the doctors in a bit. Last year i hurt my hand, this year I'm sick and in a splint.

The ugly splint:

Wow, we need to start a COUGARS FOR LAMBERT thread!!

Hey, where were you when I was getting beat up by the Adam Assassination Squad last night? We were overrun by haters during the show!

 

[Camicar]

I got thru about twice in 2 hours. It was the first time in YEARS I stayed up to vote. No doubt Simon put the fire up under the butt of the Adam fans who have just been cooling out.... like ME!

I don't think I've ever voted before, but I've voted for Adam last week and this week. Last week, we easily got thru many times. This week in two hours, with three phones we only got thru 12 times.

As much as I think Adam should win Idol, I'm fine with it if he doesn't because he's gotten what he needs from the show-- name recognition and exposure which will give him the opportunities he wants and deserves.

Or rather, I'm fine with it as long as he doesn't lose because homophobic bigots voted for "Anyone but Adam". That just makes me sick. Having read some horrible rants against him last night, I had nightmares about a sniper shooting him on stage and I only hope his parents are not aware of the murderous talk out there. I'm still pretty shaken by some of the stuff I read and given a couple of comments he's made, I think he's aware of it too. I do think that he is the bravest performer ever on that stage.

Wow...I'm loving what Kris has done w/ this song!

It's not very original, to me it sounds just like the Fray version. It's definitely better than the Kanye West version, though.

Geesh, this crowd is rough. I'm not surprised the Adam haters are/were out in force. He finally gives one not-so-stellar performance (Cryin') and they pounce all over him from out of the woodwork. Particularly when it's down to the wire like this. Such desperation to try to get him out and keep him from winning.

I think that people are finally realizing that he is going to be in the finals and like you say, they're desperate!

What else is there to do when people are fawning over you. And I don't see him humble, I see him as totally confident and in "humble act mode".

What's wrong with being confident? That's exactly what the judges want to see. You can be confident AND humble.

Then Simon should have said to vote for all three of them just no Adam

I think he was speaking specfically about Adam because the other 3 judges just got finished saying that Adam would be in the finals and Simon didn't want people to feel like it was in the bag and they didn't have to do anything.

I hope Adam wins it all (if you can't already tell by my posts)!

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Mandy, you should've asked if it came in different colors! I would've gone for hot pink myself. Hope you have a fun and safe trip!!!

Then Simon should have said to vote for all three of them just no Adam

I agree w/ that. I don't think it's right that they blatantly pimp out Adam.

I think that people are finally realizing that he is going to be in the finals and like you say, they're desperate!

I really don't think it'd desperation. Some people just don't like Adam, what's wrong with that?

 

[corvair]

Camicar,

I agree with you

Why do people who do not like Adam...really feel the need to trash him...I feel like they do trash him because he is so good..and they just don't like his personality.

I don't like Danny...but I do not feel the need to trash him all the time...
I liked Danny in the beginning..but he just doesn't have what it takes..in my opinion..but that doesn't mean I feel the need to trash him.

The judges see what most of America sees in Adam...A STAR...no matter how he dresses or looks or what ever makeup he chooses to wear...

 

[Feralpeg]

IMHO, it really doesn't matter who wins. Each of the top three have the potential to have huge careers. I'm sure they will all be offered recording contracts. From that point, it is up to the public. People will love their work and buy they music or not.

I will admit that I think Adam is amazing. Not only has he got an amazing voice, he is very theatrical. That is what sets him apart. He has already done a ton of stage work. I am willing to bet that he will not only sell a lot of Cd's. He will go on to acting. We will see him on TV and in the movies. He is what they refer to in show-biz as a triple threat.

 

[corvair]

I really think Adam will go on to be the next Elvis or Michael Jackson

I saw that too. People are SICK. There are obviously a lot of closed-minded, ignorant, discriminatory people in the country who I will never, ever understand (or respect). But some things people are saying go so far beyond that... it's MENTAL what some people have said. Disgusting

Just editing to add that I don't mean everyone who doesn't like Adam does so because he's gay. I've just read some pretty sick things on message boards out there of the consequences people think should be brought upon him for being who he is. It's disturbing.

I agree with this. I find it absolutely ridiculous that people are outraged over his sexuality. It's a SINGING competition!

This show gets worse by the week. The only fun one to watch is Adam, just to see what he'll do. I didn't love his performances tonight but he was still far and away better than anyone else up there. I hope he and Kris make the final two, they've been my favorites from the very beginning. Speaking of Kris, he's also far and away better than Danny. What was THAT?! I find it hilarious that the same people who complain about Adam's "screeching" (listen to some Guns N Roses... it's not screeching, it's rock) don't mind Danny's raspy yelling of the entire song while he dances like an uncoordinated wedding singer. He's horrendous. Adam has the most natural talent and should definitely win, but Kris will also be really successful (I'm a huge fan of the singer/songwriters... Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw, Eric Hutchinson, etc). Either way, I don't care enough anymore to actually bother voting for anyone.

I don't care for Danny and if I wanna see "uncoordinated wedding singer dancing", I'll watch old Taylor Hicks AI performances... he was more entertaining.

I just don't get why Adam has to screech when the song doesn't "call" for it.... Aerosmith, one thing but U2??? Not.

 

[DarthKTrava]

well, I'm tired, my poor little fingers are sore..but I think my phone frenzy might pay off. Checked out dial idol and there is a shift from earlier this evening, I like what I see.

I guess you blew up dialidol as I can't get it to load....

 

[corvair]

You call it screech...I dont' see it that way at all...that is my favorite part of his songs...when he goes for the high notes...I love it..to each his own.

 

[DarthKTrava]

EMom: maybe Adam's a "closet Trekkie"?

Nothing wrong with that......

Looks like the closest to me is Carrboro, NC... Not sure if I wanna do another hot as hell club..... I went to one to see Modest Mouse and it was HOT!

 

[DarthKTrava]

It better not be.

If it is a Kris-Adam finale, talk about a mismatch. If Adam wins I'll be mad but I've been expecting that since the beginning. And if Kris wins I will be absolutely disgusted.

My sisters and I voted the entire time (for Danny of course!) last night. Heck, so did my dad and he never votes. It was quite the scene with us all watching the Brewers and on our phones. I think we each MAYBE got in 20 votes each. We could hardly ever get through.

I have a feeling it was all for nothing though but I am still super excited to see what they all show of Danny's homecoming. If you see a girl in a bright green t-shirt, that was me! haha!

Depends. How close to him were you?

And was the shirt LIME green?

 

[DarthKTrava]

What are you talking about?? Adam has been very humble through the whole thing! Thanking the band, thanking the judges, warm fuzzies to the other contestants.

Geesh, this crowd is rough. I'm not surprised the Adam haters are/were out in force. He finally gives one not-so-stellar performance (Cryin') and they pounce all over him from out of the woodwork. Particularly when it's down to the wire like this. Such desperation to try to get him out and keep him from winning.

I tried ALL NIGHT to get through for him and was unable.

Regardless. As I said in my review a few pages back...this was a stellar top 3. All of them deserve to be there and are talented guys. NO matter who wins at this point, we all won already. Such fun, such talent!

I know I haven't seen him with any sort of ego like some claim.... Not sure where they see it.... but I don't and I will admit I'm not an Adam fan.... Only performance of his that I totally LOVED was "Mad World". And it does seem to me when he hits those high notes, it seems that he's losing his vocal control.
