[Official] American Idol 8

LOL. Wow, that is disturbing.

 

while i agree with this and thought adam was a joke, kris is god awful. seems like a nice enough kid though. good for him.

 

Do you know how I know you are homosexual?

 

The two finalists seemed like stand-up guys.

I do like Kris better though. He is extremely modest. That was a great moment when his wife finally was brought on stage.

 

i bit of an exaggeration i guess. i should say, i could find a handful of better singers at Spotlight Karaoke on westheimer on any given night, he had no business in the top 13, and they routinely don't let people to the hollywood round who have better voices than him.

didn't mind seeing him win at all though.

 

Adam does indeed have a much better voice. But I'll bet you right now that, of the two finalists, Kris goes on to have the better pop music career and outsells Adam.

 

Granted I didn't watch the whole show, so I can't comment on the quality of the music acts. I did see Rod Steward and Queen though. My beef is more with the direction...way over the top cheese, even for Idol.

I really don't have a problem with Adam. I can recognize that he's a good singer, it's just not my flavor. To me all the high notes and endless screaming was annoying. Kris is much more my style. I could say that I'd buy his albums, just like David Cook. But just like Cook, there's no chance of that until they get out from under Idol's shadow. The winner's song and first single is atrocious and bland. But hey, at least he's not singing about magic rainbows.

 

I thought this finale was pretty good.

Sucks that they forced Kris to sing that that crappy song and are making it his single even after seeing it sucked. On the plus side, he sang it infinitely better today. In tune. If he sang it this way yesterday, he would have won by a landslide imo.



I stilll don't think Adam will do well selling albums. But he did seem MUCH more in his element in singing both with Queen and Kiss. I liked him a lot on both of those and hope he finds a way to work in that direction.

lmao at anyone who says Adam will have the success of Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson..


oh yeah, Rod Stewart sucked.. and he looked drunk

 

I don't know. To me there are too many typical Kris Allen voice out there. So his stuff better be good. I think he's another Taylor Hicks. I think he won because he got the sympathy votes for being the humble mr nice guy while Adam getting too much publicity with the judges and media that totally got people to vote for the underdog.

I think there are more people who are curious to see what Adam is going to release more then Kris because Kris been doing the same old boring voice throughout the season.

 

I would also like to add that Kris probably have a large Christians follower and we all know how they feel about Adam.

 

Adam would be good going into Broadway, and it wont suprise me at all if that is the route he takes, considering his acting background and the way he commands a stage. As for his over-the-top annoying Steven Tyler times 1000 voice and the way he ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash, he wont sell to the mainstream.

The type of music that he is going to make is going to cater to a certain type of person, its not going to be something that the average person could get hooked to.

Kris has the contemporary "Piano Bar" style that a 18 year old kid could listen to when the wanna just chill, but he also has the sound and musical ability that a 45 year old mom could have in her CD player.

He reminds me vocally of Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic, and I could definately see him making that type of music. Ive heard Tedder sing live a few times and after hearing Kris Allen cover Apologize, the similarities are amazing.

As for this, "He had no business being in the top 13" and "I can find kareoke singers better than him" I find that a little bit rediculous, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it is a rather weak one with no validation.

All in all, glad that Kris won, and I hope he quickly comes out with another single rather than that crap they made him sing from Kara.

 

BTW, your whole "We all know how Christians think" stereotype is the same stereotyping you are accusing Christians of doing.

So therefore, by your logic that all Christians stereotype Adam, you are in fact admitting your strong Christian believes because you too are a person who stereotypes others.

Correct, Cowboy?

 

oh right, it was pretty funny to see kara and bikini girl singing.. and then kara bustin open her dress, ha

 

You know Adam is gay right?

 

Um, of course I do, but your assumption that ALL Christians would judge him because of it is wayyyyy off based.

Certain denominations (and predominately elderly) do have stong views on homosexuality, but that doesnt mean that every Christian looks down upon Adam because of his sexual orientation.

I have been a Youth Leader at my church (non-denominational, slight baptist background) pretty much ever since I got out of High School and moved onto college and so-on. And I can tell you that myself and MANY other Christians dont shed a bad light on a person because of one aspect of his/her life. Do I agree with it, no, but I also am not in a position where it is my responsibility or right to think bad about someone, rather I can judge based upon the Character of the soul.

All im saying is you sound very ignorant and un-educated from a Theological background to be making such vague statements about an entire religion, and every followers views on a certain type of person.

 

And you know that he's Christian right? He's a prominent worship leader at his church. I have no doubt he kept on making the cuts because of teh supports not because of his talents compare to the top 4. The guy kept on making the cuts even when he's been performing badly.

 

I wouldn't call it ignorant. We all know how people vote even on elections. I'm not saying all Christians behave that way. But Christians community are pretty large in the US.

 

I feel like you have become Barbara Walters and I am your latest interview.

Yes I know that, and actually he is not the "Prominent worship leader" that you so state. Ive been to his church several times, its close to a camp that we take our Jr.High kids to during the summer. He merely plays the keyboard, he only recently started singing for the church, because their music director retired.

Kris has a very raw vocal ability, he admitted many times that he hasnt always been confortable singing in front of people, and when thats the case, it almost always shows during live performances.

IMO that was the case the week before last, because based on pure knowledge of their own musical abilities and limitations, Matt Girauid should have stayed on the show.

But due to the fact that Matt might have been at the pennicle of his musical abilities seeing as how he had studied music, even at the college level, and Kris was nearly at Matt's level with SO MUCH upside left, that is why he stayed on the show, and eventually won it.

Give him a good vocals manager and songwriter to match his vocal talents and he will do great.

 

It's pretty obvious who's going to vote for whom. Majority gay people will vote for Adam and the same as the Christian community will vote for Kris.

I don't really care about the AI anyhow since I only catches here and there if I find it's interesting or the songs that I like. It's a stupid show anyway. I don't like any of the songs that the winners been releasing so far and their vocal aren't any talented then some of the people that I've watched on Youtube.
