Yes, I agree 100% that Adam can sing. However, as I have stated before, he just has not been able to shake those theatre roots. Don't get me wrong- I *love* the theatre. Love, love, love the theatre, and would love to see him score some prime roles on Broadway. However, for me, (channelling my inner-Randy there!) I feel that the others more personify what this competition is for, and I would much rather pay to see them perform as him in a solo show. Plus, I am probably a tad more hard on him just because I am sick and tired of the lick fest the judges are having with him.
Kris has had some absolutely tremendous performances that have yielded little more than a yawn from the judges. Simon completely disregards amazing vocals from Alison to point out that she is awkward in interviews. Yes, yes she is rather awkward. She is also 16/17 and just needs a little coaching and practice. Matt also has talent oozing out of his fingers, but most weeks that is not acknowledged either. On the flip side, errors (pitchiness, tempo, etc) by Danny have been glossed over by all the judges this season.
I have come to expect Simon providing a little "guidance" to the voting public after watching this show for so many years. However, this year has been far, far worse than any others, and I just feel bad for everyone in the competition that have come up short on the Danny/Adam stick.
End of rant.
