American Idol Season EIGHT

[Dback Jon]

Kris is lucky to even still be in the competition. Adam and Gokey are much much better than Kris. Adam will probably win it think its a forgone conclusion. Dback jon you must have issues with Danny because he has been consistantly good last week was obviously not his type of music but to say he can't sing is just ignorant. Danny I believe is a singing teacher and has fantastic control over his tone and pitch he just doesn't have the IT stage factor to be a star, but he has better control over his vocals than anyone left on the show. Just because you don't like him doesn't take away from the fact he is a great vocalist, just not a rock front man for sure.

Danny, consistantly good?



Danny is a HORRID singer. Can't buy a note, is ALWAYS off key, has pitch problems, SCREAMS and overall I can find millions of better singers in America.

I am not sure what show you have been listening to, but Danny Gokey shouldn't have even made the final 32.

your ignorant he is in the final three and the judges (you know people who do it for a living not some ignorant messageboard fan) consistantly talk about how controled and on key he is week in and week out. Thankfully your not judging or god knows what atrocious singers you would have in the final 3!

The only reason Danny made the finals is because the show's producers want him in the finals for ratings purposes.

The judges comments are laughable - and if you listen to them, they are always saying "well, this isn't your best genre, etc".

Deadwifepimpguy has stayed in ONLY because of a concerted effort by mega-churches to defeat the "evil gay" Adam and keep the "Good Christian" Gokey in.


obviously, you don't know crap about good music, or how the show works.

 

[nashman]

Well you entitled to your opinion one which probably only you have! Adam is not good music imo and quite frankly none of the 3 are that special. How they say this is one of the best final 5 they have ever had is laughable, like your opinion that Gokey is only there because of some church anti gay crap...please what a crock! Obviously you don't know crap about good music!

Apparantly a hell of lot more than you.

And yes Virginia, there is a concerted campaign by a bunch of religous bigots to help Danny and defeat Adam.

But again, you are clueless

 

[DWKB]

Well here in Kris Allen country there is a strong opinion that the judges are unfairly biased to Gokey vs Allen. Particularly last week when both performed below par considering the genre of music.

 

[AsUdUdE]

He screaches better than Danny sings.

He has an amazing voice - he just needs some help directing it.

I will agree he screaches better than Danny

(all "screachers")

you don't REALLY believe he is as good as the legends do you?? I am not disagreeing that "screachers" can be amazing, some of the greatest muscians are, but Adam lambert is NOT...

I remember when Michael Pietrus came into the NBA, people all over Europe were claiming this guy was the Euorpean Michael Jordan and would be the next generation in the NBA... but just because he tries to emmulate a legend, doesn't mean he is on the same level by any stretch...

The great ones don't screach EVERY FRECKING SONG THEY SING, they pick moments and make them great.... Adam will do it at least once a song, and its down right painful....IMO

Just Sayin....

 

[MigratingOsprey]

you also have to look at the format he's operating in .... much different than the context of an album

 

[AsUdUdE]

Can I just say, its pretty sickening how much the judges FAWN over Adam... I mean seriously, all of his songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME, yet no one ever calls him on it...

Also, Kris Allen's performance of Apoligise was AWESOME, and yet the judges slammed him on it.... Which I couldn't disagree more... His second performance was one of the top 5 songs of the season IMO...

Kris Allen I think is better than Danny and obviously Adam, but unfortuantly I do believe he is going home... Which sucks, two weeks and the two best singers are most likely out of the competition....

 

[Dback Jon]

Kris was by far the best of the night. He NAILED both songs, especially Heartless, but then got less praise than Gokey for Gokey's god-awful monotone of D'Arby.

Adam screeches too much - needs to tone that down, but he is at least on key.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I wasn't that impressed with apologize, but heartless was really good

I don't hate Danny, but I just think he's limited

Adam got a little too screetchy last night - but by far is still the most talented of the trio

I think Danny & Adam advance - I would like to see Adam & Kris

Here are my thoughts on the 3 starting in how I think they should finish:

Adam - great vocal range, brings presense to the verse of the songs, needs to work on when to explode and work on stage presence (he can be tough to watch perform - keep your tongue in your mouth) - I think a good producer and handler can tone him down - he has the ability to kill both heart felt ballads and big songs - great control ........ however I don't know if the market exists for what he'd sound best doing

Kris - he also does very well on the versus and shows good range - his chorus and big moments aren't as strong as the others - has a real mellow vibe and I could see him fitting in to what is selling today with band like The Fray, One Republic, Death Cab, Snow Patrol and other mellow type bands

Danny - a pleasant raspy tone - does well on the chorus, not so well on the verse - very limited range, but does really well in his spots - good image and marketable - really not sure how he would fit in though - seems more like a gospel singer than anything

 

[DiamondBacks5117]

It seemed like the judges were out to get eachother last night. I guess its all in good fun though. I also think if Paula leaves the show could go downhill. The judges thought Archuleta out performed Cook so much but than Cook won so you never know.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Dback... I think your Adam Kool aid has clouded your judgement. Should Gokey win? I didnt think so either. But to say he didn't belong in the top 32 is nuts. The guy was the last person to be in a bottom 3. Obviously America thinks your flat nuts. And since we are all allowed to have opinions, I think I will point out that yours is in the extreme minority. Gokey reminds me a lot of Elliott Yamin. A great Niche singer.

As far as the results tonight I think Adam might be in some trouble.

1. Ryan mentioned that #1 and #2 tonight were within a million votes. When 80 some million are cast that is a VERY SMALL margin.

2. Who do you think will get the majority of Danny's votes??? I think the Mid-westerners will vote for Kris before they vote for Adam. This is my biggest criticism of Adam, you either love him, or you hate him. And remember... The South does REALLY well on this show. From NC, to Oklahoma, a ton of people have been in the top.

With a vote total THAT close, I can really see Kris pulling off the upset. Especially when you consider the pop ballad they will be required to perform next week. Will the show allow them to play around with the arraingment? I say HELL no. And that should hurt Adam also.

I wish them both good luck, but can see many reasons why Kris, the guy no one knew about in the beginning, could be the biggest surprise winner in the shows history.

Well, congrats to the winner of American Idol..

Chris Allen.

It's a foregone conlcusion that Chris will "lose" to Adam next week, but that really means he wins. The best place to come in on American Idol is 2nd place. He will not only get a record deal, but unlike Adam, he'll be able to listen to offers and take the deal best for him. Adam will win, he'll have a team of producers making his music for him and he'll be irrelevant in a year.

Chris on the other hand, actually has a chance to make it. I wouldn't be surprised if both Chris and Danny have more successful careers then Adam.

I thought all of the finalists were required to do at least one record on Idol's record label.

 

[Louis]

They are. That's why that homeless kid from last Josiah is screwed right now. He got deal, cut an album, and Idol eventually shut it down because it wasn't made through them.

And let's hope Kris wins. His 2 performances Tuesday were both better than Adam and dead wife guy. Heartless was brilliant.

I may actually vote in the finals for the first time since voting for Reuben.

Ryan kinda let it slip in the beginning that Kris was in. He something about shocking results. I was hoping that meant Adam was getting the boot.

 

[Dback Jon]

Danny's album will be Christian, sell a lot, but flop in the mainstream.

I am not drinking Adam Kool-Aid - if you noted, I said Kris was the best Tuesday night.

Danny should have been gone weeks ago - his voice is terrible, flat, no range, and boring.

Eliott Yamin is miles ahead of Gooffkey as a singer.








I do think Kris wins it all.

 

[FArting]

Spoiler

Kris wins American Idol.

 

[AsUdUdE]

This was the best Idol Finale I have EVER seen... simply put it was phenomenal...

I will save my thoughts until tommorrow for those who have not seen the show yet....

 

[Dback Jon]

It was a phenomonal show.

 

[Louis]

Definitely the best finale ever. The performances were pretty much all great.

The awesome laugh factor at blind dude dancing and that tattooed chick singing horribly.

But Adam and KISS were awesome as were the Adam/Kris and Queen. Allison and Cyndi Lauper were great.

Bikini girl. What! Ryan was hilarious in that moment. But the Kara singing and then showing her bikini body was a great moment too. Really you almost forgot that this was a results show.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

yeah - the results were secondary and really not surprising

was nice to see adam out there with both Kiss and Queen as that is the type of stuff I can really see him doing

 

[Heucrazy]

I'm glad Adam "screech" Lambert lost. I can't stand his screaming.

I just turn the channel. Problem solved.
