Co-signed. Then again I don't really like him at all.

[a.e.B.O.T.]

On Lambert... I too was tired of the screeching (although, if you need a screech, he does it perfectly)... when he started out the U2 song, I got all excited because the opening was amazing, and then i just started saying out loud, dont screech, dont screech. Oh well, his voice is still amazing... he will benefit from the contribution of producers and record companies in order to provide balance in his music...


On Danny... I think Paula's choice was horrible, and therefor was in need of some DESPERATE rearranging... he did not rearrange it enough, so it lack a contemporary feeling and thus sounded karaoke. His second song was delivered well, but again, I was not too excited about the song choice. I JUST WANT TO POINT THIS OUT: In the final 3, for contestant's choice... Taylor Hicks picked the same song... out of all the contestants!!!!!!!!!

On Kris... his first song, I thought, was not as bad as it is made out to be, albeit the second worst of the night in my opinion. Not because it was bad, but it pales in comparison to Adam, and Kris and Danny's second song... Kris second song, well, that just stole the night, it was amazing, and my second favorite performance of the entire season

I agree. I thought Adam ruined One by going all screechy. I like Adam, but that was TOO much! I thought Kris won the night with a solid 1st song and a fantastic 2nd song. I too would buy that and I think he can have great commercial success. He is "current".

Gokie was just BORING! He sounds like a lounge singer to me. Not my taste, but I'm sure he'll get through along with Adam.

Might be better for Kris in the long run though to not be controlled by AI and tptb.

okay....so why did katy perry just have a cape on with Adam's name on it? I'm an adam fan...but they are REALLY going overboard with promoting him....

or did I miss something at the beginning of her performance that involved Danny and Kris?

[ZTAngel]

Oh thank the lord. D-Bag Danny is gone.

my thoughts exactly!!

My sister in law downloaded all of the Kris and Adam songs off Itunes, and I have to say that One (U2) sung by Adam is awesome. He sings the high notes, but it is built up to slowly and isn't at all jarring like it sounded on TV, and his other songs are great too.

BUT, Kris's songs are beautiful! Falling Slowly and To Make You Feel My Love are gorgeous and I would buy his album in a heart beat!!

If you haven't listed to the studio full length versions, check them out. Either guy would be a great "American Idol" and they are both deserving.

[ComradesTrue]

Seriously, Paula, put down the self-tanner and just back away. Wow.

[Leslie Anne]

I loved Kris tonight...not that he has a snowball's chance in hell against Adam.

Oh, and Kara's song sucked weenie wang.

All of the AOIIs on my facebook are blowing it up because apparently Kris is married to an AOII. So perhaps the greek vote will save him .

I am not watching. I never really liked AI after a few seasons and Adam, while I like him and love the fact that he is openly gay, I just can't take the yelling. The other guy doesn't stand out enough to pay attention. Anyways-right now I'm big on female singers, males don't seem to be bringing it in pop music for me.

I dont watch AI but I watched the last 5 minutes just to see what these two guys looked like and to see who would win. I got a message from the AOII fan page I have on my facebook that stated Kris' wife was a sister. My AOII sisters, except for a certain few, have been voting for Kris like crazy. I personally liked Adam's performance better (1st impression too), but Kris has a sweet persona. His wife was the blond in the yellow dress.

While I'm not really a fan of either Kris or Adam, I do think Adam out-sang Kris tonight. I actually quite liked the first song Adam sang - probably because he didn't yell in it.

[Smile_Awhile]

I voted for Kris 169 times in the last thirty minutes. It was the only times that I got through- I probably called over 300 times. I'm crazy head over heals for Kris. I know he doesn't have a huge chance, but man... I want him to win so badly!

I voted for Kris a lot too last night ! Most of my votes went in just before they closed the phone lines (or the lines all got busy) at 1am (EST)

I think Kris is FAR more talented than Adam and I am keeping my fingers crossed that he wins. I think he would probably get most of the Danny Gokey votes, don't you?
