Bingo.
I am only marginally interested in this season, and I think it is because there is no Carrie Underwood, David Cook, Chris Daughtry, etc. In other words, no blow-me-away-singing and true rags to (deserved) riches arc with this group.
Yes, Adam is a good singer, but he turns off many people (myself included) because he is just so over the top theatrical. Danny has a touching story line, but let's be honest... outside of the CCM market he won't do much. Alison was born to sing and perform... but the types of songs she should be doing vocal wise do not fit with a 16 year old girl. In other words, she could have laid low for a few years, then surfaced as a true rocker, and one who has more life experience to sing about.
Anoop- love him, but again, his market is not the pop charts, as he skews too old and needs to capitalize on ballads. Matt- I may be the minority but I am not feeling him either. He seems smug... I find it hard to relate to him, whereas I would love to go grab a beer with Noop. Lil- no comment necessary.
Kris? I actually like his voice, his personality, and I guess would like to see him win. However, he strikes me as someone who would rather just perform on open-mike night in his hometown than to carry an entire live show himself.
Give me Susan Boyle any day of the week. THAT is a story, and a person who you can't help but cheer for.
