American Idol Top 4 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[marymrg]

Carly - stick to singin' girl.

 

[Robinrs]

Okay, NOT going to the tour....

 

[troobabiee7]

These group numbers are hideous

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Oh gosh Mikalah or however you spell it is SO ANNOYING!

Like, OMG, totally!!

Ugh, seriously...what was w/ her voice?!

 

[chisnpeke]

WTH is up w/ that chick's voice?! Seriously, that's IRRITATING!!!!



Whoops!

She was on Carrie's season. Imagine hearing that every week. Her idol is Barbra Streistand.

Whoops!

she was annoying when she was a contestant and let me tell you she could sing back then.

 

[Mean Queen]

Why is it the top 13 and not the 10 who'll be on the tour? Do they always do the top 12? Glad to see Allison back.

 

[Robinrs]

This song should be Allison and Adam's theme song...

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

She was on Carrie's season. Imagine hearing that every week. Her idol is Barbra Streistand.

Ha, I don't know what is worse...her idol b/c Babs or her voice? I didn't watch most of Carrie's season, and now I'm thankful for that!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Okay, so the top 13 are singing - I've forgotten - who's in the top 10? Why does AI bring back the top 13 when only 10 can tour? That seems unfair.

My gosh, this group stuff is AWFUL!!!

We can start a thread in June for Americas Got Talent.

When in July do you see the Idols? We don't get to see them until August 26th.

We could also post reviews of the AI concerts because I think a lot of us are going to those.

I was really hoping I'd wake up this morning and see Adam in the green on dialidol. I have to say I'm actually really worried that he might not win.

I'm completely prepared for Kris to get the confetti shower - as is Adam. Any time the question gets asked about who's going to win - Adam points to Kris far faster than the reverse. Adam has repeatedly said that comparing them is “apples and oranges”, and that they obviously have a very different fan base. Adam's career will be global and I can see a lot of big names, like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Madonna etc. who will probably want to work with him.

As has been pointed out, the problem with relying on polls is that you can only vote once on them - kind of like the iTunes downloads. If American Idol changed the rules to allow for one vote per person than Adam would probably win.

I have the feeling that Adam's tongue comes into play a lot. I think many people are not necessarily voting FOR Kris, but rather AGAINST Adam and his tongue. Haven't you people SEEN the ridiculous faces Kris makes when he sings? I'd never hate him for it though- a musician does whatever it takes to get the music out the way you want it. John Mayer (sp?) has some interesting facial contortions too, but he's doing great.

When I watch Kris sing it always looks like he has so much tension in his lower face and jaw. The sideways angle that he puts his mouth and jaw doesn't help him with this problem and it doesn't help them hit the high notes either. I think he’d benefit greatly from a few years of serious vocal training.

What makes you certain Kris had the option to change the key???

Nobody would ever insist a performer sing in a key that is wrong for him. In other words, if a female was singing this, she'd sing it in a higher key then a baritone would. In the world of professional music this simply would not happen. The problem was pretty obvious. Kris has a limited range of probably 1 1/2 octaves, whereas Adam can easily span three octaves. That's why Adam can sing a song like this and Kris can’t. If he started in a lower key, he would've never hit the lower notes at the beginning of the song. He could barely sing them as it was.

I agree! I HATE when people write off (or just completely put down) a singer for being "too Broadway." !

Completely agree with this. And there's no need to be a great instrumentalist as well as be a great vocalist. Though most opera or lieder singers can play piano, they'd never play well enough to accompany themselves and would never do it in concert.

I just got home from my last two finals and am as freee as a bird for the next three months I've literally been listening to Freebird for the past hour to celebrate Now it's time for some Idol! I usually watch with the fam but my parents and brother are going to buy a new car tonight from the accident, so I'll finally be able to log on and post live. Can't wait!

Congrats!!!! And thanks for the live carpet updates

It's his STEP daughter. He married my friend's daughter about a year ago. He told me that Ruben was going to the finale.. I asked if he could PACK me!!

You know some interesting people! When I re-listened to Adam singing “A Change is Gonna Come” (without all the tension of the live show), it brought tears to my eyes. It clearly had a lot of meaning for him and every phrase of it was beautiful.

Though Kris will most likely win, I persuaded several of my colleagues (all professional musicians) to tune into the show last night and let me know what they thought. They all had the same reaction as my Mom (who watched with me for the first time). They were incredibly impressed with Adam's vocal skills and were just as surprised that a singer of Kris’ caliber was considered the “other best” singer out of thousands of auditionees. I guess Kris is an acquired taste.

 

[MeanLaureen]

So, should we do a pool on how long tonight's show is going to go over?

 

[GoofyforDisney3]

Yes. We're back in the room the weather has brought us back every night. I did manage to get some good pictures of Flower and Garden festival.

Oops, it helps if I read a little before I post. I could have answered my own question. Glad you are having a good time, even if the weather isn't the best.

It's fine, I think we're going to stick with june though from now on

 

[Mean Queen]

I'm guessing 16 minutes?

 

[marymrg]

Why would that be considered a put down? An artist must be unbelievably talented to succeed on Broadway or the London Theatre. When I say that about Adam, I mean it a huge compliment!

 

[ShuisFan584]

I swear people know how attached I am and love to torment me.

Last night my fiance sends me a text saying that he's voting for Kris. I told him if he does that the wedding is off.

And now my friend just sends me a text saying "inside scoop kris wins." Unfortunately I think it's true.

 

[mandy200587]

I'm about to cry listening to it.

 

[marymrg]

I love David Cook. If only I was a few years younger!
