American Idol Top 9 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[Sammy]

I can tolerate him when he doesn't screech.


He creeps my 19 year old daughter out so much she has to leave the room when he sings.

LOL....my 13 year old just yelled, "Creeper!!" at the TV and got up to leave!!

Let's pretend it is May already... Adam wins ... confetti, streamers.

Everyone else is gone, show is over.

Adam was awesome
Lil...hmmmm, I mean, she looked 25 tonight which was good to see, but yeah, kinda copy cat, not impressed ( bottom 3)
Scott...ouch, but liked that he tried to do a somewhat upbeat tune ( bottom 3, going home, no save)
Kris, It was ok, I would've rather seen him dancing
Matt, guess I am the odd one out, I thought he did TOO many different things, jumped all over the place, like forced or something
Allison,,, Yay Allison, great control, wanted to hear more
Anoop...whoda thunk he'd pull of Cyndi Lauper?
Danny..wedding band, (bottom 3)
I own't be surprised if Kris is bottom 3 instead of Danny, but I think it's time Danny gets a reminder to step it up.

Flo Rida is on tomorrow night? Now I love his new song, but it can't possibly be appropriate for AI?? "You spin my head right round right round, when you go down go down down"

And don't even try to tell me he's talking about going down the stripper pole we all know what he REALLY means!

See also Saving Abel's song, "Addicted". Same subject.

Well the 80s song lyric was You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby round round (scary how I can type that rote) Of course, not the same thing but influenced by.

Go down down will probably be changed to when you go downtown.... Yes, he is really inappropriate for AI -- with young audiences.

I thought the lyric was downtown until I really listened to it. I think it could still have the same dirty meaning.

 

[Cindy B]

If they ever did a Smiths or non-popular Cure song, this would be me

I think Adam could do either of those bands well. Maybe even an old Depeche Mode song.

I actually typed Depeche Mode in the post and took it out. I think he would do a great job on Master and Servant-- but that would definetely not get cleared.

And also off their own album, The Hurting. It's a great album, not as commercial as their big followup, Songs From The Big Chair.

I think we have that ALBUM downstairs! I know I had The Hurting on cassette way back when ....

I'd be gone then too. As soon as they announced his name I'd be turning the channel.



This show is not all about Adam and I'm not ready to declare him the winner.

Only time for quick reviews tonight!

Danny: He did an awesome job ruining one of my all-time favorite songs. good job there, Danny. And he was whiny.

Kris: Eh. Didn't like the song but it wasn't atrocious.

Lil: I just had to go back and add her in, I completely forgot about her. Horrible. I was glad the judges finally said what I was thinking. Next.

Anoop: Boring.

Scott: Boring AND off-key.

Allison: Awesome voice! But she (and her family, apparently) are a little... off. I can see her personality turning people off. I think she should be in the Top 2 but can't see that happening.

Matt: He was one of my favorites from the beginning, but he's STILL slipping. He struggled too much this week... it always sounds so forced. I hope he picks up his game again cause he has a good voice, although he reminds me too much of Justin Timberlake who I love as a comedian but hate as a singer.

Adam: I think we all know how I feel about Adam AWESOME! I was surprised at the order of the contestants tonight - three weeks ago Adam was last, last week he was second-to-last, and now he was last again. I don't think they've ever done that... I'd be pissed if I was one of the other contestants! But I'm not and I love Adam and that was brilliant, even thought I actually like him better with the guyliner and running around the stage. He's so fun to watch! Adam FTW!

 

[DarthKTrava]

DH and I both know it... but we are Brit fans though. I would have loved to seen a Smiths or a NON overplayed Cure song.

I was a huge fan at one time and was getting EVERY album they put out. Sadly, I was never able to get the album when they were called Graduate.

But I did name one of my cats at one time after the lead singer, Roland.

 

[Philadisney]

I haven't been reading the thread because i'm behind on watching the show (DVR), but had to jump on and say:

1. Simon's baby picture ruled.

2. I cannot listen to Matt sing "Part Time Lover" without longing for the good ol' days when Kevin Covais sang it. You're welcome.

 

[GoodFairies]

I must be the only one who thought Adam was kinda bad then.

He didn't do his own version, he ripped Gary Jules' version so it wasn't like he did some unique spin on the Tears for Fears version. Gary Jules' song is hauntingly beautiful and Free4 (I think who wrote it) is right, it's on the Donnie Darko soundtrack. I think Adam butchered it, honestly.

I like Matt the best. Alison needs to stop being an old lady (at 17?!!?) and Scott butchered that Survivor song badly. No one else even registers as being worth commenting on.

This show is not all about Adam and I'm not ready to declare him the winner.

He is unique. Not a huge fan of anyone, but every week Adam brings something.. Sometimes its shrill and girly, sometimes it is really down to earth (tracks of my tears), sometimes it is different but really interesting (tonight).

He is very diverse.

I've got it on cassette somewhere. Not sure about CD....

I love how they give him the pimp spot week after week now. (not) If they were doing that to Kris or Danny (especially Danny) there would major outrage here.

I bet he'd also do great with Blasphemous Rumors or something newer like Policy of Truth. Again, if he did, I'd I really wish some of the other contestants would step up their performance game. Some of them could really make it a contest if they did that.

 

[sandramaac]

First, let me say Adam's performance tonight wow, just brilliant it was so haunting how is it this guy hasn't already been discovered for Simon to stand up, wow don't think I have ever seen that I like how they are softening his look a bit they can go even easier on the makeup, which I think we will see

 

[Nancy]

Thank you! I was beginning to feel very lonely here.
