American Idol Top 4 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[troobabiee7]

I missed Michael Johns????? My TV is programmed to change the channel when Carrie is on so I missed him!!!

Talk about BITTER, I felt like you all did when Bo lost!! Waaaah!!!

I'm behind on the red carpet, MJ was before Carrie. I didn't get up to her yet! He's gonna be on Ellen on Thursday though, so don't forget to watch!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

I think Archie's interview skills have improved remarkably.

Yes, he's much more comfortable now. He's had a year to get used to his new way of life.

Did anyone see the view today? Barbara Walters was saying how much they each make for being on AI and what they will make on tour.

 

[Robinrs]

Black Eyed Peas love Adam, though gave Kris props for being talented. Will I. Am. said that's what he'd want to be like if he was white? Huh?

He said Adam went to school with someone he knew's WIFE.

 

[Mean Queen]

Yes, he's much more comfortable now. He's had a year to get used to his new way of life.

Did anyone see the view today? Barbara Walters was saying how much they each make for being on AI and what they will make on tour.

No, I'd love to find out how much they make. Steve Martin is funny. He's performing tonight!

 

[Mean Queen]

He said Adam went to school with someone he knew's WIFE.

My TV audio is messed up and keeps going up and down. I'm glad I misheard him.

 

[Robinrs]

No, I'd love to find out how much they make. Steve Martin is funny. He's performing tonight!

I know it's based on where they placed in the top ten how much they get paid on the tour.

 

[Robinrs]

What the heck is Gavin McGraw talking about???

 

[troobabiee7]

Paula's so cute. A little loopy, but I still love her. She talked about being an artist's artist and supporting them all.

Neil Sedaka's aged a LOT since he was on season 2. I almost didn't recognize him.

Keith Urban's on now. Not a big fan of his but he's a good looking guy He's rooting for both finalists and said Kris is young and has a good road ahead of him... which was a nice way of saying he's rooting for Kris because Adam's only 28

Now Adam and Kris are on! Adam always takes over the interviews as Kris nods. They're both relieved that the competition's over. Adam said Kris is a cool cat and is really grounded and mellow, while he's more hyper and over-the-top so they balance each other out. They both helped each other out all season picking out and arranging songs. They're both so down-to-earth that it's weird that the whole big red carpet and all the celebrities are there for them. So weird!

Kara's dress is gorgeous! Something about her annoys the crap out of me, but she's nice enough. She practically said the final song was a mistake. She said she never gets to spend any personal time with them to see what kind of song they'd like. When making a record she usually spends weeks on end with the artist to create music that's personal and fits their style, and she didn't get to do that.

LOVE Jason Mraz! I love his voice, he's one of my favorites. He said he's been on the road and hasn't gotten a chance to watch the show since season 1. He said they both have the chance to influence millions of people and kids around the world, and they should both be proud. He's a cool guy!

 

[Nancy]

Ohmygosh, soo agree!!



Thank you!! Switched from the news! Of course, I can't stand the hosts. Hope I can stand them for an hour. It's pretty funny that they have a Red Carpet for the AI finale!! And former former contestants are showing up. Oh! Brad Garret from Raymond is there with his kids. Sweet.

Looks no one liked the last song. Surprise, surprise.....think there's anyone in the world who actually like that thing?

Maybe Kara?

Chikeze and David Hernandez are rooting for Adam.

Ace Young cut his hair and looks a million times better than when it was long. I still don't see his appeal though, he's too pretty He said you can't judge the third song because it was out of both of their elements... meaning it sucked He thinks the backlash against Adam got the Kris fans voting like crazy and he'll win.

Kris and Adam are gonna be on American Idol extra for a full hour sometime this week!

Brad Garrett's hilarious! He's being interviewed and his wife and one of his daughters disappeared. He said his daughter must have found Archuletta and his wife must have found Cook He's rooting for Adam.

Joely Fisher's rooting for Adam, but thought Kris was good. She said the last song was tough for them, but tougher for all of us

So Brad's wife has good taste.

Ace Young...I missed him??? I loved him. My twitterpatted tag came from posting that I get all twiterpatted when he smiles.

Too funny!!

It was so sad... I actually decorated my house for the finale. I was in my first year of high school so I'm pleading my youth as an excuse... but I made Clay posters and banners and hung them all around my house. I still have pictures of the house, it was hilarious!

OK, so we want to see those pictures!

How much do they make? ...

 

[Minnie&Nana]

It seems like for the most part past AI contestants and other celebrities voted for Adam.

If they really voted ~ how many were really sitting around trying to get through? Maybe they would text though...

Gosh, cannot stand Kim and what's his name..Kinda funny that DC dated Kim last year. Guess she was too annoying for him too. Sorry, that was mean.

Antonio Sabato Jr also thinks Adam will take it..I'm not surprised so many artists said they voted for, or hope, Adam will win. He's a showman.

Still hope Kris wins.

 

[travelmel]

That's something I'm really impressed with about Kris. I've ALWAYS said that, to me, a true musician is someone who plays their own instruments. I have no idea if Adam can play anything, but that's something I definitely like more about Kris.

It's a singing competition. Adam is a more talented singer hands down. Kris is sweet and definitely relavent but he ain't got the chops that Adam has.

Let's hope it's SWAN song for Kara... she has to GO!

I liked her.. I even liked her singing when she sung to that one girl who said she couldn't sing. I was SO SHOCKED that the song they wrote sucked so badly. WHY ON EARTH don't they figure out that people hate those kind of songs.

Last night I think that I finally figured out what bugs me about Adam. Besides being too theatrical for me, he never smiles or even seems happy when he's singing. He always has this painful, serious look on his face.

For the record, the sideways smile that Kris makes bugs me as well but at least he looks like he's enjoying himself.

Please. Adam is an actor and performer. He does, in my opinion, have some cheesy looks but he freakin smiles when he's supposed to smile. No doubt about that.

Never posted before but wanted to say

GO ADAM!!!!

ME TOO.. I wanna say it too.. GO ADAM!

Just wanted to comment on this one bit. If anyone was off pitch it was Adam.

OME.. you mean he was pitchy? OH. MY. GOD. Stop the presses. He faltered ONCE.. in the whole season. One time. One. Uno. There have been NO other singing mistakes. Maybe you didn't like it.. opinion's and all .. we all have them. But he was always on the money. Kris grew.. big deal. That's because HE NEEDED TO. I like Kris too and I do think he was better in the last few weeks but he's can't compare to adam in singing talent. He's relavent because today it's popular to be a whiney boy singer/song writer. That's ok and all but it's ..... well, it's trendy.

I'm actually glad you made that comment though because it made other people come out of the woodwork and explain that adam was moved by the song. He's a kind, good, and sweet soul .. or at least appears to be and I have not heard anything to the contrary yet.

Paris Bennett liked them both. And her hair looks like a poodle died on her head. Just sayin'.

Now Nigel Lithgoe's on. Not gonna lie, love him on So You Think You Can Dance! He's much better on that than this, so he should stick to the dancing. He said he think's Kris drew himself much closer last night, but Adam's gonna win. He compared the finale to Clay and Ruben (when Clay was ROBBED!)

Jon Peter Lewis! He was probably my favorite from season 3, he was fun. He said Adam was vocally much better, but Kris has a good shot because of the momentum.

Michael Johns!!!!! He's still HOT. HOT HOT HOT. Seriously, hot. I think Mike Johns should be on every season of American Idol from here on out. Stick him on So You Think You Can Dance too. Hell, he should get his own show. HOT! Oh, and he thinks Kris will win because of Danny Gokey's votes.

This is so cool of you to do a running commentary! I have never had an idol contestent move me to care enough to vote. I love hearing all the torrid details of the red carpet and the whole ordeal.

I also love how sweet everybody is on here (for the most part) and I agree with so many of you. They're both talented and seem very kind. I would be happy either way. BUT.. GO ADAM!

Oh yea.. and if the Doors movie hadn't been made already it would be MICHAEL JOHNS in the role!!! WHat a hottie!!!!

Too funny!!

It was so sad... I actually decorated my house for the finale. I was in my first year of high school so I'm pleading my youth as an excuse... but I made Clay posters and banners and hung them all around my house. I still have pictures of the house, it was hilarious!

Too cute! Bring up the pics. I love parties and pics! arty:

That is a cop out. Granted she had to start writing before the finalist was announced but she is a professional, you can't tell me she doesn't know how to write a song that will fit more than 1 person.

Not mean..a lot of us feel that way too.

There are a few here that would seriously disagree with you. Not everyone thinks Adam is the be all end all.

 

[troobabiee7]

David Cook! He said both guys stayed true to themselves last night and he can't call a winner, it's too close. I can't believe how fast the past year's flown by, it feels like yesterday DC was on the red carpet. He's talking about the cancer charity he works with. I still feel so bad for him

I feel like I could carry David Archuletta around in my pocket. He's so tiny And he liked both of the finalists.

Black Eyed Peas like Adam. Fergie looks awesome! Love the dark hair. She really liked talking to the girls of the season and helping them out.

I love Gavin DeGraw too! Him and Jason Mraz are too of my favorites, love their voices. He thinks America was an underdog country for a while, and that strand of underdog affection never left the society, so there's a good possibility Kris will win. He sounds drunk

Steve Martin's one of my favorite actors of all time. He CRACKS me up up!!! Soooo hilarious! He's holding two mics and talking into both of them He's playing the banjo tonight too so.... should be interesting He doesn't have a pic, he's just a fan of the show and enjoys it.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

How much do they make? ...

I was hoping someone else saw it!

I think she said on the show & tour they make $2000 a week (and acted like that wasn't a lot), also AI takes care of their families, hotels, travel etc. The winner will make $5000 a week...I think..while she was talking someone came in and was talking to me at the same time, so I could only catch a word here and there.

Sorry!!

Man, are you ME???? I could've WRITTEN this!!

 

[ShuisFan584]

I know that most here feel like they'd be happy either way, no matter who wins.

I can honestly say that I liked most contestants this year. And I definitely do like Kris. But to me, none of the contestants this year even come close to comparing to Adam! So I'm gonna be the jerk to say that no, I will not be happy if Kris wins! I don't care how sucky that song is, I want Adam to win!

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Ooooh, I'm so excited, and nervous! Here we go...

 

[Nancy]

Here we go!


I am so nervous..I can't even imagine how they and their families feel
