how bizarre was that ending? seemed so anti-climatic and very awkward with mentioning that one of the judges (Kara) was a co-writer of that turd sandwich of a song? Both guys did extremely well with their first two songs, Adam does about 3 out of 10 on the "finale song" and Kris does about 1.5 out of 10 on the "finale song" and that's the taste left in our mouth? I don't know what to compare this to. It would be like a weightlifting event where two guys are breaking world records, one guy throws out his back, then the other guy just has to lift the bar with no weights on it to score the victory. Even the judges, including Kara, kind of admitted that the song sucked major ass. -- I guess the positive is that fan voting is going to decide the winner and everyone can just throw out the last song that they did.
WOW, that last song was so bad it made my DVR freeze and restart.. I dont think the judges could do any better at kissing Adams ass though.. I'm curious to see how Simon will react if a year from now Adam isn't mainstream or played on the major pop stations after he has anointed him the next king of music..
For those of you bashing Adam a bit here... What is it that makes you do this? Do you not like him because he's on the ghey side of the fence or is it the drama he brings to the stage? I'm really trying to figure this out. His voice is amazing, he can hit all the notes, all the pitches. Even we he "screams" he is on KEY. And it isn't like a Mariah Carey scream, it is a "scream" as some of you call it that is on PITCH and strong. I've watched this show every single season since it has come out and the judges have NEVER EVER given props to any singer as much as they have to Adam this season. And you know why? Its because he is THAT good of a singer. How can you guys not see that? Adam's voice is amazing. Some of you are acting like there is an AI conspiracy theory similar to the NBA's David Stern wanting a Kobe/Lebron finals. Do you really think the judges are doing this because they want Adam to represent american Idol? If that's the case then why have they NEVER kissed any other contestants ass in the previous shows, not even Carrie Underwood? It doesn't work like that. The judges really can't say anything bad about Adam because he's amazing. His voice, his stage presence, his ability to make songs BETTER than the original. I'm just absolutely baffled at how some of you can't see how talented Adam is. Even freaking Simon Cowell can't find anything negative to say about him. What does that tell you??? Simon NEVER does this. He NEVER pegs someone to be an iconic superstar the way he is doing with Adam. Not Kelly Clarkson, not Carrie Underwood, etc... Simon has never done this, and he does not have a hidden agenda by doing it this season. Simon doesn't give a crap, he's just on the panel getting paid to be an honest ******* - but Adam is so talented that there is nothing to be an ******* about for once in the history of this show. From a singing perspective, Adam is THAT good and whether he wins or not (which it would be a shame if he doesn't) he's going to be big time and a millionaire either way. You may not like his STYLE of music, but there is no way in hell you can sit there and tell me with a straight face that the strength and quality of his voice is nothing short of amazing.
To me, just singing on pitch isn't everything. I personally don't like his voice because I think it's too abrasive. The performances when he's backed down (like Tracks of My Tears) have been superior to all the screaming performances IMO. I think the fact that Simon didn't peg Underwood as a huge star (which she obviously is) is quite revealing. I agree that he has no agenda but that doesn't mean he can't be wrong. I doubt very seriously that Adam even comes close to matching Underwood's success. I haven't watched last night's show yet, but it looks like they sang one of Kara's songs? And it blew chunks? Well, if you check her wiki page, you will see that she has written songs for such musical heavyweights as: Eden's Crush Kelly Osbourne Hillary Duff Clay Gayken Ryan Cabrera Raven Symone Ashley Simpson Lindsay Lohan The Pussycat Dolls Paris Hilton Ashley Tisdale The Cheetah Girls Vanessa Hudgens Miley Cyrus Paula Abdul My, what an impressive resume.... Quincy Jones, look out!
I predict Kris sells tons of albums to 14 year old girls and has the more successful career. Adam would be better as a rock front man and I don't know if his talent translates to a solo career. Gokey kind of sounds like Michael McDonald and will sell contemporary Christian albums.
It is the screaming for me. 100%. I don't care that he is gay, theatrical, or over the top. I just hate that he tries to scream in every song. I don't care if he does it in scale. The screaming is annoying and unnecessary.
Both of these things. Adam is on pitch. Kris is almost always on pitch, too. So was Allison. That doesn't make everything. Yes, Adam has a wider range than pretty much anyone who has been on the show, and he still hits his notes (let's not get crazy--he's had his fair share of pitchy notes during his screams, but those are really high so I guess it should be expected). But his interpretations just aren't always the greatest, and he goes too far over the top at times. And yeah, sometimes I think his screams are good, but he definitely can do it way too much. And Vinsanity, did you really enjoy his performance on the last song? It was horrible. forget the lyrics, his voice was off from beginning to end. And just because people are "bashing Adam a bit" as you say (i.e. saying maybe Kris deserves to win, or maybe Kris will win) doesn't mean people think there's a conspiracy. I said Simon copped out on both of them on the last song by refusing to criticize them when they sucked. And I thought Adam sucked a little bit more.
yes, except Adam -> broadway after 3 years of realizing he's not gonna sell many records. His skill is performing in front of people, but you can't sell out concerts without putting out an album with stuff people want to listen to first. And I don't think Adam will do that--save for maybe his first release from his Idol fans
when they both sang the last Kara song, it was like two totally different songs, equally bad. However, for Chris, it was like unimpressive, whatever; for Adam, it was like "what was he angry about"?
was that suppose to happen with that crazy girl, Tatiana? That just seemed awkward and everyone was stunned.
This show has completely jumped the shark tonight....terrible, terrible, terrible...and all for 5 minutes.
Thank you, thank you. A big f*** you to the judges and producers who obviously wanted Adam to win. Thank you Kris for taking the crown!
I only watched some of AI and I loved Adam. Thought this show was pretty good...the Keith Urban duet, KISS, and Queen stuff was awesome. Adam will probably have a great career though...amazing voice, so it won't matter.
Winning the Idols doesn't really mean anything. The main reason Chris won because people knows Adam is gay and all the teeny girls switch their votes to Chris. Talent wise Adam is way above Chris. Chris has a terrible voice. The real result will be who will sell the most CDs.
If Clay Aiken is any indication. Adam is going to top him. So I have a feeling Adam will be successful as K. Clarkson and C. Underwood. He's got the charisma and stage present. There are a lot of famous gay musicians so it's no big deal in the music industry.
I thought tonight's show was a great finale! All the appearances such as KISS and Queen were awesome. Also glad to see Kris beat Adam, who everyone thought was going to win. This episode caught me eye because i never watch American Idol...
I've never watched this show, but it kind of disturbed me when my parents started clapping and yelled, "Thank you Lord! Oh, thank you Jesus Christ!" As if Jesus was watching from heaven and yelled "Take that, queer!" Meh.
