OT: Adam Lambert on Idol

[yulog]

Who was eliminated? I'm guessing Anoop or Lil.

Scott

Oh wow! I thought poltiical correctness would keep him around a bit longer. I think he is a nice guy, but have always thought they were over estimating his singing ability!

Agreed, he really isn't top 10 caliber and was stuggling with his songs,he reminded me of a lounge singer on the last couple shows.

[texafana]

I'd be surprised if Adam and Allison weren't the last two standing.

I hope Scott gets a record deal. If nothing else, Muzak would probably sign him just for the PR boost.

Scott & a record deal? No thanks...the guy's an ok singer for a youth group or a church, maybe in the christian rock world...maybe. And with all due respect to the guy...those eyes were freaking me out the last couple of performances. wow...

[pineda1]

I just checked out Scott cuz of a thread down in the Survivor forum. I felt bad for the guy, but he just wasn't good. I can't believe he made it that far. Then I listened to Adam and that was killer. It sounds like there's some other good talents here in the top 8.

This is just one of the best seasons I've witnessed.

Even the worst ones aren't THAT bad. lol

Same here. This is the only season that I look forward to see every Tuesday. Some real good talents there.

That's why I said Muzak. I'm sure he could play some mean elevator music!

We don't get this show until Thurs and Friday nights so I am behind you guys - but having read a few posts back, I know who goes home on tonight's show.
I agree with that decision.
He was way out of his league IMO.

Everyone knows how I LOVE Adam - but he was not my favourite this week.
I hated that last note, and I hated hearing him almost gulping air between words. He even sucked in air mid sentence at one point! And I HATE that!
So, I am gobsmacked that Simon chose this week to give him a standing ovation.

Simon never ceases to amaze me - his lack of musical knowledge is a disgrace. He clearly did not recognise The Search Is Over.

I didn't enjoy Lil, Kris, Matt, Scott or Danny very much this week.

I thought Anoop's voice sounded lovely this week but the star of the week for me was ALISON!

That kid has blown me away since day one and I have never understood why she was always in the bottom three.

Her interpretation of that beautiful song was just fabulous. For sixteen year old vocal chords she has an incredibly meaty sound to her voice.

Here endeth the sermon of Chairman Suze.

I agree Suze. I didn't think Adam was as extraordinary as he usually is, but still leagues above the other guys; but that little Allison is just amazing. The rockier verison of "I Can't Make You Love Me" was amazing. The studio version is pretty incredible too.


I don't know who they've got producing those studio tracks for the contestants, but whoever it is, they are incredible.

I think that's what I was too!!

I didn't like Adam at all this week. And I love him too. So it was disappointing for me because I always lood forward to seeing what he will do.[/i]

[SusieP]

At least we judge fairly.


I haven't seen the elimination show yet, but please tell me Alison wasn't in the bottom three again? Surely the voters have seen sense now?



[P.S. 'gobsmacked' means 'astounded' - as if you have been smacked in the face. A 'gob' is a face. ]

The studio version of Mad World is much better than the live performance - quite beautiful, actually.

... Scott & a record deal? No thanks...the guy's an ok singer for a youth group or a church, maybe in the christian rock world...maybe. ...

Said that since day one. He's a youth choir singer.
Felt the same way about Archuleta last year, but his youth & cuteness got him by.

Btw, anyone notice how much SM & Cain look alike? Go back to the ROR days - similar look, same hair.


later~

This week is the music of QUEEN!!!

I'm looking forward to it, but a little scared at the same time. LOL

Adam should tear it up.

Where did you see that, Bobby? Everything I've seen says it's 'songs from movies'.

Not a clue - I was just browsing the official Idol forums (those people are NUTS!) and most of the talk seems to be about movie songs. I guess either way - Adam could do a Queen song .

Yeah....Theme from Flash Gordon. LMAO...Adam sucks.

[Luvsaugeri]

I heard that Quentin Tarantino was going to be the guest and the theme was songs from movies.

[whirlwind]

I think that Adam is great and if they do Queen, I'll bet he does Bohemian Rapsody. He has the control that the song demands.
I would rather see Allison win Idol tho. She is such a natural for being so young and can only get better with an Idol win. I think that we have already seen the best of Adam and imo, I think that his attempts at the extremes, might be boring after awhile. I could be wrong.

I hope he wins just for you STM - just think of the scathing post you can write!

Susie, did you download Adam's studio version? It's much better than the Live one where he was running out of air.

"Who Wants To Live Forever"!!! I love that fuckin' song. I think he could definitely do that one.

I think you might be right about the movie tunes. I guess my search was from a past season.

I hadn't heard it - but I have now listened.
Bloody Hell - when's his album coming out?
I'm listening to it now. It's giving me the shivers.

WTF is up with me? I'm a 47 year old straight woman and I am in love with a six foot one male hunk of gay gorgeousness with a magical voice.


This has to go on the Haunting melodies thread!

WOW.
What is wrong with you Adam haters?

The kid is FAB.....U.....LOUS.

[SusieP]

I thought he might go for "Seven Seas Of Rye" - he could really rock musical it up.



I wonder how the song choosing works?

I mean with such a HUGE genre as Motown there ought to be something to suit every voice.

But with songs from Queen, which may have a more limited choice what happens if several people want to do the same song?

What if they all did their own take on the SAME song? Would that bore us or would that be a good idea?
Hmmmmmmm.

"Who Wants To Live Forever"!!! I love that fuckin' song. I think he could definitely do that one.

Yes he would do a great job with that - but too predictable I think - it has been done by other contestants. A couple I think would be good:

Urge Overkill version of Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon (and it is from a Tarantino movie)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg0Hhmm07VM

Uninvited (he'd probably get props for singing a song made famous by a female - they seem to like that)

Oooh, "Uninvited"! Yes. I do that song when we get drunk and go karaokiing.

Another one from a movie that would be cool, and this is OBSCURE, it's called "Prisoner", by Barbra Streisand. It's from an old moved called "Eyes Of Laura Mars".

It's a great song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTp0vErHJOM

And it could REALLY be rocked up.

[Triple S]

Born To Be Wild - loved it! (but then I love everything he does ) He is a star and anyone who says otherwise - well, that's your opinion I guess

[Jubilee]

OMG!

Adam is just an old school rocker. Great to see. He had that falsetto workin' this week.

[Peartree12249]

I really like Adam, but I found his performance a little shrill this week. Still he's got star power that's for sure.

[Luvsaugeri]

I loved it!! And my gawd....he is just crazy good looking!!!!

[Luvsaugeri]

As great as I think Adam is.....I just LOVE Gokey's voice!!

I think they have all been good this week.....except for Matt.

[Jana]

I miss it every time. I've never seen him. So I went on youtube and listened to Mad World. Unbelievable. What an amazing and beautiful voice. I also loved his rendition of Ring of Fire.
