Freddie Mercury no way Adam doesn't even come close to Freddie let alone Steve. :roll:

No one comes close to Freddie Mercury.

WOW! This guy brings me out of my LA-Z-BOY! His range is the biggest on the show, EVER! His unique style is unmatched. If this guy isn't a superstar, it's a fucking joke.

Adam will win because Paula has the hots for him. You can tell when she gives her opinion of his performance it's sickening. Hey Simon had a thing for Carrie Underwood and he saw to it that she won. JMO.

Whether Adam wins on AI or not, he has proven he has bookuu talent & won't be lacking work. I was actually pretty impressed with Kris' take on the Donna Summer song...the bongo beat and his voice just sounded really great. Bottom three tonight will be Lil, Matt and Anoop...I think 2 are forced to leave, so it will be Lil and Matt.

Agreed. I never really cared for Matt, but as for Lil, she seems to have underperformed at every turn. I'm thinking it's probably the end of the line for her.

I can see LIL Rounds leaving and the **shocker** might just be Allison..

I'd say it's Lil and Matt going home tonight. The bottom three will include Anoop or Kris.

Anoop has such a great smooth voice, but here in racial America, he's not marketable.

Au contraire, mon frere. He's a brand new kind of cat, commercially speaking. He's perfectly neither here, nor there. Besides, in this day and age the only color that matters is GREEN. Isn't Darius Rucker at the top of the country music charts? Haven't Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke topped the R&B charts? Isn't Emminem a rap chart topper?

"It Won't Be Like This for Long" just hit number one last month didn't it? That's his second number #1 on the country charts.

Adam still sucks....he has no mainstream marketability....NONE. He sticks his tongue out every time he 'screams' those high notes....who wants to look at that?

Could be great as the next Frankenfurter....Needs to stay in theatre. I doubt whatever he puts our will sell more than 200,000 copies.....

AI has become a sham.

LOL! What century are you living in?

I'm sure the same was said about Perry, Mercury, Jagger, and Tyler before they went big.

You just don't see the star power that everyone sees and hears.

I'm guessing that while I'm listening to his CD I won't be able to see him sticking his tongue out.

Darius Rucker went country because his pop career was dead. JT & RT are just doin their own thing. No biggie. But in a day where average America is pi$$ed because we're shipping jobs to India and we have middle-eastern terrorists clawing at us, seeing Anoop Desai & his eyebrowed-mug on an album cover will turn people off. It's not colour. It's image & perception.

He's got a great voice. No doubt. So, he'll get session work and soundtrack work. I'm sure he'll get Bollywood offers too. But my guess is that America will not want to see him when they hear him...or when they hear him, they'll think of his pic.

Now then, having said that, if he can act, he could get a job on HOUSE at Dr. Kutner's little brother. And they could do some on-show karaoke bits that might go over.

I totally agree with you.

Yeah I can see Adam practicing a lot of bad techniques, way to much tension and strain on his voice. In time hopefully that will be fixed. But honesty I just don't like the voice at all, it sounds awful in my opinion. At least Alison has a good tone quality. Adam Lambert just screams and sounds like rubbish, too much uncontrolled tension, and it's painful to listen to. If he really put his head down, he may be able to sing well, but at this point, the likes of Clay Aiken completely blow him out of the water.

by **BobbyinTN** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:05 pm

The right two people went home tonight. I won't spoil it for those who haven't watched.

I loved Adam-fuckin'-Lambert. He is definitely in a league of his own.

I think a comparison to Freddie Mercury is well deserved. Check this shit out. It's one of his originals. It's mind blowing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXvSA6QL7Ac

Apparently he was invovled with a group in LA that did alot of punk, glam-rock and I'm telling you this is fuckin' awesome, IMHO.

I love Allison Iraheta. She's definitely my second pic.

Danny, good, but not good enough.

Kris, cute, talented, he will have a career.

That's all for now. It's past my bedtime. LOL

I don't know Bobby, I think he may have stuck his tongue out a few times during that performance :wink:

That was pretty cool, everyone has their own tastes of course - I too think he is awesome.

It's obvious that you know more than Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson. :roll:

And Randy has NO experience with great singers, does he? Get a clue.

YOU get a clue Splash.....Adam will probably win. Doesn't mean shit. Remember these are the same judges who were commenting on Fantasia, Reuben, Clay, Hicks, and Kelly Pickler, and Bucky-freakin-Covington. Um....and where are they?

Idol doesn't care if they are successful. If they end up successful, great. If not, they've still made money off of the run of that season. Kickbacks from AT&T for text voting. Ford Motors. The Top 10 Tour.....etc. Everything else is gravy.

Thanks for posting. I agree, it should be Adam and Allison. The problem though isn't the judges S2M, its the 13 year old girls with cell phones and unlimited texting. There is no way Allison should have been in the bottom 3. And it should have been Matt that went home along with Lil.

by **SusieP** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 5:49 pm

It hasn't been shown yet here, but I can see from the above posts that Lil went home and Alison was in the bottom three.

So who else went home? Anoop?

If so, that Buble lookalike guy has to go home next week. :twisted:

And Alison has obviously had a low vote count for many weeks now. So it's unlikely she will win.
Shame because she has a fantastic voice.

That Kris is a dark horse in this contest. I think he may be scoring high votes each week and maybe us Adam fans will be disappointed.

I could live with Kris winning. As it is now, sometimes the second place person gets the better deal. I say the top 5 will have deals, and if handled correctly Allison will have a LONG career.

Adam will is a star, no matter what, but if he wins, I think it will show that American Idol ain't just about the vanilla people. lol

I like ALL flavors.

Damn, he's got the whole Mercury-Bowie thing going on! Maybe this guy was born about 20-30 years too late. :shock:

And... I think I like it.

I just had a thought... With all of the YouTube videos available on Adam, I'm pretty sure that he will win. Idol started out as a talent show, but has since morphed into a popularity contest first, talent second. The voting audience latches onto whomever they identify with and hold steady 'til the end. All of these video performances will undoubtedly allow the audience to get to know him even more, outside of the show, therefore, nearly clinching his win. The only thing that could kill it for him is to seriously do something wrong, but I think the public is already willing to forgive him. :wink:

BTW, guess I don't need to wonder about him being a fan of Bowie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq7OVHBc8ZA&NR=1

When i first heard Adam I thought wow, but I have now decided he is a one trick pony. Singing is not all about being able to sing high - you need to have a voice that is pleasant to listen to. Adam grates on my ears. When he sings in a low register his voice is nothing special.
