American Idol Top 4 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[DarthKTrava]

Yeah, I didn't get it either. I really didn't think he was that entertaining to watch, personally. I never thought he was dancing, just thought he had a bee stuck in his pants and he was trying to get it out.

HA! I've never even heard of 3/4 of those songs. Were they really big hits? When I think of creative talent, I'm not really thinking of songs written for Hillary Duff or the Pussycat Dolls. I guess that's not fair of me to say, b/c she is out doing the best she can. But for someone with her attitude...yeah, I don't think it's warranted.

I've only heard of a few of them... Maybe most are on true Top 40 stations which we don't have here.

 

[Mean Queen]

Sorry. I just don't really like the Jobros..so..yeah.

But I always thought David Archuleta was the lost Jonas brother.

Especially since Kara is writing it. Remember her "hit" (can I say that with a straight face? ) that she did for Kathryn McPhee.. Open Toes? Here are some of the deep, meaningful lyrics

I been needin' a girls night out
I got nothin' but hand-me-down's
I need a quick fix
To make these clothes hotter
No matter what it is
A girls gotta
The pedicure
White tip french
(french)
Legs don't make no sense
(sense)
Not rich
But I bought a diamond anklet
Keep it on
It goes with my outfit
Hey

Hey let's go
If they're not too high
Too low
I'll take them home
In purple, red, or gold
Cuz I know them boys
They like
Those open toes

Jeans all black
Hair slicked back
Baseball cap
Still cute in my open toes
Mini skirt
Feet don't hurt
Just a flirt
Too cute in my open toes
Work or play
Night or day
Do my thing
Too cute in my open toes
Never too many open toes
A girl needs plenty open toes

I'm lovin' these sling-back shoes
I like the way they stay loose
I could wear them all day
And listen to the click-clack
Shoes like this make me hate flats
Swipe that card I'm good
Another pair in leather and wood
I'm a sucker for a name brand
Skip the rack
And stick to the game plan

Hey let's go
If they're not too high
Too low
I'll take them home
(I'll take them home)
In purple, red, or gold
Cuz I know them boys
They like those open toes
Those open toes

Jeans all black
Hair slicked back
Baseball cap
Still cute in my open toes
Mini skirt
Feet don't hurt
Just a flirt
Too cute in my open toes
Work or play
Night or day
Do my thing
Too cute in my open toes
Never too many open toes
A girl needs plenty open toes

I'm feelin' down
That's when I go out
And shop till I drop
Everywhere that I want
Cuz nothing feels better
Than spending my treasure
On me
Finally
I'm where I'm supposed to be

...wow, heavy man...

 

[kimmar067]

Yeah, I'm sure they're losing sleep over that....

He looks/sings nothing like a Jonas Brother.

Beach Club is awesome, our view is of the hotel pool

We ate at Beachs and Cream tonight and got seated right away about 530 and I feel like waddling from all the food we've ate. Tomorrow is AK


Kara is a good song writer and has wrote hits and not just for pop.

What a great view! I loved Beaches and Cream. My group split the Kitchen Sink for my DD's birthday a few years ago. Yum! Keep posting pics.

I've been posting some on twitter, not posted a bunch yet tomorrow we hit the parks. I love my phone cause of it.

This morning at the gym I was listening to the studio versions of his songs again, and there is no word for his singing & interpretation except “outstanding”. In Whole Lotta Love , it took me a few seconds to figure out whether it was Adam or Robert Plant singing, and when I realized it was Adam, I have to admit that I liked his version better. When you strip away all the showmanship and just listen to the music, I don't think there's even a question as to who the superior vocalist is. When you add the showmanship, it's the icing on the cake for me.

I've been doing the same thing and just love him more and more each time I listen to them. I've even been listening to some stuff that he did before AI and that is what made me like him so much. Before I heard some of those songs, I liked him okay but didn't have a favorite. The Five for Fighting song he covered (I just love you) is just stunning and from that moment on I have only voted for him. Something in the way he sang that song was also for me the icing on the cake.

I am probably going to get in trouble for saying this but I think that it would be wise to just stay out of that other thread that was started just to say bad things about Adam Lambert. Commenting there just gives them something else to feed off of. They are so confirmed in their negativity that they really don't need any help. That thread was created to express their dislike and I don't think that it is productive to participate in a discussion centered around negativity. Maybe they will grow tired of the discussion if there is no one to argue with.

To move away from all of that unpleasantness - How funny is that picture of Adam and Kris comparing their painted fingernails? Apparently Kris decided to paint his thumb nail blue in order to show support for Adam and Adam in turn took the polish off of his thumb. It may be corny but somehow these guys who have so much more at stake than any poster on this message board seem to be able to accept and support each other. How much better is that than sitting around thinking of negative things to say?

I like both Adam and Kris and I am looking forward to Tuesday's finale. I think that I will enjoy what both of them sing. It should be a good one.

 

[Nancy]

Mandy...great location.

The nail polish thing, I noticed Kris's blue thumb in the home visit clip and was wondering why he had it.

Anyone know what the format is for Tuesday? How many songs are being sung etc. I'm trying to think back to what was done last season, but then things are so different this year that what they did before could make no difference.


I am very excited for Tuesday, it is going to be a good show (or at least I hope it will be)

 

[Tatania]

And why in the world would he win the coin toss and decide to go first?!!! I don't think that's ever happened before

Sorry for mis-typing this. I was on my way to work and had to retype the post because it vanished - just like it did AGAIN, grrrr. Kris decided to sing second, though I think at this point it won't make any difference in the voting. The two styles are so different and it will probably come down to who does the best songs in the best arrangements. They are both so likeable, IMO.

It's ironic isn't it? While some fans feel the need to flame Adam, he and Kris have become genuinely close friends. They may come from very different worlds and have different religious beliefs ( I believe that Adam is Jewish) but that doesn't mean you can't respect and like the other person. When Adam drops his flamboyant stage persona, you see the adorable, cuddly Teddy bear who loves his family, is easy-going and has the cutest giggle. Neither of these guys takes anything for granted in this competition. When the results are announced Adam is always nervously chewing his lip, or has his head bowed - concentrating on the floor. The picture of him as he hears he's in the final 2 says more than 1000 words about his lack of arrogance.

Mandy - will you be going to Boma by any chance? I'm one of the main contributors on the Disney recipe exchange but I can't keep asking Guest relation for recipes because I'm wearing out my welcome. We currently have loads of recipe requests including some from Boma (where it's pretty easy to get the recipes from your waiter). In case you go there could you ask for the Bok Choy recipe (Pod 7), the Corn & Spinach Pudding and the Sticky Buns (breakfast). If you like to take a look at their request it’s post #5 http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1777635 and we're grateful for any new recipes you can get.

 

[troobabiee7]

So Adam would be the first openly gay AND Jewish idol?? He's breaking ground everywhere This Jewish girl may just vote next week for the first time since season 2

 

[aprilgail2]

I hear it. I like Kris but when he hits certain notes he gets really nasally and it makes him sound whiny. He has a nice voice but it isn't strong at all, so he needs to watch for that.

But I always thought David Archuleta was the lost Jonas brother.

Kris is VERY nasally when he sings, and so is David Archuletta- when they showed Kris singing at his hometown thing I really thought it was terrible, he was nasalier (is that even a word??) than ever!

Round One - The Contestant’s Favorites - Favorite song from the season is how Ryan described it.

Round Two - Simon Fuller’s Pick

Round Three - The Winner’s Single - There is only one Coronation song this year

Tatania, I'm probably going to Boma next weekend. We're staying at AKV and have breakfast scheduled for Sunday morning at Boma's. Just PM me closer to next weekend because I tend to forget things when I'm preparing for Disney. Now that I know about that thread though, I'm in trouble. I made Le Cellier's soup once and now my family wants more Disney food at home.

 

[luvmy3]

This is in response to posts on this thread as well as some of the other AI threads that I've seen come up. Ok watch out, this is gonna be long.

First of all, I just find it funny that all of the "this show is fixed" comments are coming up. This happens every single year! Simon could not stand Taylor Hicks, so why did the producers "let" him win? And last year, the judges all gave David Archuleta a tongue bath every week as you all call it, so why did the producers "let" David Cook win? While I do agree that the judges will try to manipulate things a bit, this show is not fixed people! If so, the "chosen one" would have won every year. Two years ago, did Melinda win? No. Last year, David Archuleta was the "chosen one" and did he win? No. This was only one year ago! I remember that constantly people would complain about how this show was so fixed and it wasn't fair that David Archuleta was going to win because the judges/producers were "shoving him down our throats." I would think just last year alone is proof enough that this show isn't fixed. That's why I was kinda glad David Cook won just to show everyone that this show isn't fixed. I would say that I want Kris to win just to prove that this show isn't fixed. But then next year, the comments about the show being fixed will show up once again, just like every other season. I have to say that I just always find these posts amusing.

I've also noticed that there are many Danny fans who will now be voting for Kris, solely for the reason that they can't stand Adam. Seriously? Don't you have anything better to do with your time? If you don't like either contestant and wouldn't consider buying cd's from either, why would you waste your time voting? In season 3, I couldn't stand either of the two in the final 2. Did I vote? No. Why should I even care who won at that point? Sorry this mentality (just like VFTW) just seems so childish to me. I say vote for who you like and if you really don't like either contestant than don't even bother voting!

And all these posts about Katie Perry endorsing Adam not being fair are really ridiculous. How on earth is this unfair???? She's a celebrity showing off who her favorite contestant is. What's the big deal? Can any of you honestly say that you will now be voting for Adam just because Katie Perry likes him? I seriously doubt that. During the elections, many celebrities were vocal in who they supported. If my favorite celebrity was voting for Obama/McCain/whoever else, would that make me change my vote? Heck no! And I'm sure it wouldn't change others votes either. Other celebrities have picked their American Idol favorites. What about when Jennifer Hudson was on earlier this season? She let us know that her favorite contestant was Lil. Does anyone remember posts about how that was unfair? I sure don't. And that's because there's nothing wrong with them showing who their favorites are. Just because it's Adam it was unfair. If Katie Perry's cape had said Kris on it instead, no one would have even batted an eye over that.

Seriously, what could Adam/the judges/the producers do that isn't unfair? Adam goes first...it's not fair. Adam goes last...it's not fair. Adam goes somewhere in the middle...it's also not fair. The judges liked Adam's performance...it's not fair. Shall we make a list of everything about Adam that isn't fair? It's getting to the point where I really can't help but laugh over some of the things about Adam that "aren't fair."

Oh and for those of you that are boycotting the show because your favorite didn't win....I seriously doubt the producers feel threatened.

Ok now flame away! I'm ready.

No flames, you are so spot on. I think all the Adam haters should just wait to see what happens next week before they get themselves in too much more of a tizzy. If history is any guide, Simon's pick won't win anyway


This is how I feel, if the judges see something more in Adam then they do in Kris I think I'll take their word for it. They are in the industry and know a heck of alot more than I do so if they think Adam is the better/best of the season, then who am I to argue
My favorite was Alison, so see how much I know

Kris sounds NOTHING like the Jonas Brothers!!!!

So maybe he doesn't sound like them to you, but to me he has type of singing as them and lord knows thanks to my dd I have listened to them enough to be able to have that opinion.

 

[wdwgirl03]

I know it doesn't matter because we'll never know, but I would be curious to see what this thread would be like if Adam HAD been voted off. I find it funny how all of these Adam fans are blaming all the "cattiness" on Danny fans (atleast that's what it sounds like to me...) when week after week after week people were constantly bashing Danny: all he does is talk about his wife, he's so arrogant, he's so boring, he's got no fans, etc. Oh yes, and how if Adam doesn't win it would be a sin. I have a feeling the thread would be a lot worse if Adam were voted off. But, like I said, it really doesn't matter since that didn't happen. Just wanted to get that out there...

Can't speak for everyone, but I know I would have reacted and it wouldn't have been nearly as bad as some of the Danny fans have been. Would I have been disappointed? Yes Would I have said Danny should have went before Adam? Yes Would I have called the show fixed? No Would I have jumped to the level of cattiness that Danny fans have? No Why? because Danny could sing he just wasn't my favorite. He didn't connect with me emotionally. I don't hate Danny because of what the producers/judges did (which is really who was being bashed for all of the Danny/dead wife stuff), but there are many who at least come across as hating Adam for what the producers/judges do (promoting a technically exceptional singer who happens to be different than they have ever had on this show).

Some of the continued comments about Adam have really taken on a malevolent quality. If anyone says anything good about him, it is an off with his head mentality that is really unproductive. If you don't like him, fine, but don't try to make the people that do feel like they are bad people because of it. Adam fans may have expressed their dislike of Danny strongly, but IMHO Danny fans have become pretty nasty in their expression of dislike for Adam. I haven't seen a thread titled is there anyone not really loving Danny (as there is for Adam).
