Just something I've been sending to any Adam Lambert fans I know... Idol Contestant Next Victim of Swine Flu Adam Lambert hospitalized night before semi-finals. POSTED: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 UPDATED: 12:42 pm CDT May 12, 2009 Los Angeles -- TV celebrities are apparently not immune to the new pandemic effecting thousands around the world. Adam Lambert, popular American Idol contestant, was rushed to the hospital late last night after collapsing shortly after his latest rehearsal. Available medical staff were able to treat him on-site but decided to take him in for more medical testing which resulted in his trip to the emergency room. "After he fell, he was complaining of coldness and feeling sore everywhere," described Amanda Peersy, head of Fox's medical staff. "With the threat of the swine flu everywhere, we didn't want to take any chances." Tests were taken on his arrival to the hospital and confirmed with the swine flu early this morning. When asked how the latest development would effect the show, Ken Warwick, executive producer for American Idol, says, "We are taking every precaution to maintain the health of the other contestants, judges and work staff. Well, everyone but Paula. We don't care if she dies." This is a big blow to the show as it was set to air it's semi-final round tonight with Adam Lambert being a popular figure in this year's competition. Randy Jackson, Idol judge, "Dog, this hurts. The boy can certainly blow, man! He is going to be missed tonight!" Paula Abdul, 'Idol Judge, "He is a ray of light, a beacon of harmony that lights the sky with his talent. We should all pray that he can recover healthfully in a quick manner and his hip movements will grace the stage again." Simon Cowell, 'Idol judge, "He is simply brilliant. But, he got himself sick and is in jeopardy to move on this week. Sorry!" Asked where Lambert might have picked up the virus, Danny Gokey, 'Idol contestant, responded, "Man, i don't know. I know I saw him kissing some dude a couple of nights ago who was coughing a lot. But, I don't know." This American Idol's seventh season which has launched the careers of many contestants.
ah, yeah I vaguely skimmed the article, and the first 2 sentences or so sounded relatively legit. I thought if it was fake, I'd have been able to tell right away so I assumed it was real. ah well!
yeah sue me, i zipped through Idol during halftime of the Rockets game.. Adam's 2nd song (Aerosmith) Kris's 1st song (Apologize) Gokey's 1st song (Little Sister something) Gokey's 2nd song (You are so Beautiful), Kris's 2nd song (Heartless), Adam's 1st song (One) <-- All equally badass So you can only go off the 1st list I have, and I think Gokey should go home. But easy to understand if Kris goes home based on a couple of inconsistent weeks in the past.. and really I *could* understand (though not quite as easily after this week) if Adam went home considering that the 2nd list of songs I have shows that they can all be equally good.
Kris absolutely killed it with his version of Heartless. Could be a game changer and allow him to make it into the finals. That was my second favorite performance this year behind Adam's "Tracks of My Tears."
I might agree with both of those, along with that one song Kris did from some movie that I didn't know..
the only song worth rewinding to hear again. i thought kris was too bland to win, but he may be the one left with the most talent. no band. all vocals and his own playing of the grandpas guitar. the most fearless and unsupported performance. gokey brought out a contingent to perform joe kocker? what? adam was just disappointing IMO.
Who made it in the final? I haven't watched it this season, but my parents have. I want the mascara'd guy to make it just because they apparently hate him...
Kris and Adam have made the finals. I have a feeling finalsbound's parents were big Danny Gokey fans, haha.
According to my dad, 2 are music ministers and 1 is gay, I think it's more about the 1 they don't like...
Kris Allen is going to win. But out of everyone Gokey and bird girl are going to have the most success. I hate gokey, but he has the most radio friendly voice I've ever heard on AI. I could see him as another edwin mccain.
I have to disagree. Kris Allen has the most mainstream sound out of those three. I see Danny doing Christian music but he just has terrible stage presence that he won't last long in mainstream. Adam is more of a glam rock singer, and I don't see him making it big unless he stops turning everything into a shouting match and tones it down a lot.
I prediced a Kris and Adam final two back when there were 10 contestants. Adam cause he's the best singer, and Kris because all the girls like him and girls vote more than guys. I think Adam should definitely win but will not be surprised if Kris does.
