I wonder if it's because the audience does get lax and not vote for them, or if there's a relentless drive for underdogs to win. Maybe the front runners "peak" too quickly? I'm not sure. I wish you would be invited back to perform on the show as you were a spectacular testament to AI's ability to unearth talent!bpk80https://www.blogger.com/profile/16678128447040090919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366346881588633042.post-34977452886801721452009-05-20T12:15:48.144-07:002009-05-20T12:15:48.144-07:00Excellent point on the Danny thing!

He doesn't have the true heart that Kris seems to display with every song. As a vocalist myself, and a fan of many, many genres... I gotta say I'd rather hear someone who is 100% bona fide and believeable than someone who is vocally perfect 100% of the time but fakey-fakey. Adam is a performer... and Kris is Kris. We'll find out tonight what america is looking for. A performer or a feeler.

I haven't ...Well, friend, I almost agree with you. I haven't been a Kris fan most of the season, while he had a good voice, I don't think he's as passionate as Danny and Adam. Something about him bothers me... can't explain it.<br /><br />That being said, I felt really bad for him last night. It was obvious with the final song where Kara's bias lies, and I feel like Kris paid the price. He deserved to sing a song that really fits him. <br /><br />I think it's going to be Adam tonight, but I also thought that last night would be Adam and Gokey, so anything is possible.<br /><br />amy perryAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054185344458288983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366346881588633042.post-5702273905790823462009-05-20T09:32:14.300-07:002009-05-20T09:32:14.300-07:00I can't tell who's going to win, and I basically a...I can't tell who's going to win, and I basically agree with you. <br /><br />I'm not sure the judges were dead on all the time last night, as a matter of fact. <br /><br />Its really close, and they're both great and so different it's really difficult to compare.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523822082767886004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366346881588633042.post-31114636442936836302009-05-20T08:27:43.611-07:002009-05-20T08:27:43.611-07:00hi just dropping by.:)

I am surprised that someone as technically skilled as you are, does not immediately recognize the poor vowels and the nasally, shaky vibrato he uses.<br /><br />For me, Adam is a fun entertainer on Idol that boosts the ratings and creates a good TV show. He's Blake Lewis, Clay Aiken, David Archuleta, or (dare I say it) Taylor Hicks. His act is a gimmick that becomes exposed when he can't do the screechy thing to a song.<br /><br />Kris is the most marketable of the contestants. He reminds me of Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Eric Hutchinson, and James Taylor. I was shocked when the judges did not appreciate his version of the Marvin Gaye song. I thought it was brilliant and certainly more in tune than either of Adam's previous two performances.<br /><br />Kara's song was obviously written for a soul singer like yourself, Taylor Hicks, or Danny Gokey. The words were silly and the melody spanned an enormous range. Kris could sing neither the low notes nor the high notes (in Eb, down a third from screechy Adam). Adam could "sing" the high notes, but his intonation was horrible.<br /><br />My prediction is Adam wins, much to my chagrin. However, Kris and Allison are the two people we hear from a lot in the future. Allison was a monster singer and she will make a great pop-rock album. Kris will easily add an alternative voice to the Jason Mraz genre, but toss in his country twang a little. Danny (my favorite contestant) will probably struggle unless he picks the right songs.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you Melinda.Timothy Rosenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854118947894535191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366346881588633042.post-257394162404108252009-05-20T07:58:39.090-07:002009-05-20T07:58:39.090-07:00OffTopic: Melinda, I'm a big fan of yours and I st...OffTopic: Melinda, I'm a big fan of yours and I still think you're one of the best AI contestants ever..<br /><br />OnT: I'm rooting for Adam..I think he deserved the title more than Kris, just basing on their overall performance on the entire season..I guess, if not for "Heartless" hype, Kris wouldn't even be in the top 2..Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382211108036703530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366346881588633042.post-29790774788837304802009-05-20T07:14:45.441-07:002009-05-20T07:14:45.441-07:00Adam is far from the most flawless singer.

The lead singer hit those high notes and sounds great. He doesnt scream. <br /><br />You are the BEST singer that show has ever seen. Everyone I know still believes you have the voice to slay anyone else. <br /><br />Allison was my girl this season. I stopped watching after she left. I will probably never watch again. This show is too much about looks than singing. I hope Allison slays everyone in record sales!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366346881588633042.post-23526065492897795872009-05-20T03:21:37.791-07:002009-05-20T03:21:37.791-07:00Thanks for your review this really nice of you to ...Thanks for your review this really nice of you to doing that.

I pray ...So sorry to hear you aren't feelin' well. I pray you feel better very soon!<br /><br />I just love the way your mind works - you fascinate me! However, I had to post something here as I "take issue" with one thing you said:<br /><br />"Although Adam is the most flawless singer ever on AI, Kris shows so much heart in each of his songs."<br /><br />Now I know your humble nature and to God be the Glory, will not allow you to really soak this in, but...<br /><br />YOU were the MOST flawless singer, EVER, on AI <B>AND</B> YOU always (and still do) show the most heart <3 !!!<br /><br />Can we vote for YOU? (Oh, oops, been there - done that!)<br /><br />Ah, ahhemmmm, and although Kara has grown on me some, her song definitely didn't. I don't think Danny could have sung it any better and I'm wonderin' what even you coulda done with that!?<br /><br />I think either Adam or Kris can win and both deserve to win. So, Que Sera, Sera...I just want to keep hearing YOU sing!

I think that Kris needs the win to be successful and if Adam wins it will "tie him up" to much-you'll see,he'll be relieved to not win.

The thing is, I could only listen to Adam if it was a small set, I don't think I could really listen to him sing an entire concert. Kris, on the other hand, well...I imagine I'll buy his album and listen to it over and over because his voice is just so soothing.<br /><br />Who will win? Who knows. That last song was dreadful, though. I mean...wow.
