If the Noop Dogg does not make the top 12, I will cry.
clandrith- I see what you mean now. I think Von is completely inspired by Sam Harris though because of their singing style, only Von overdoes it even more. I don’t know what direction Adam is going to go in, because he seems to have a few different styles- one thing is for sure- he is VERY interesting to watch.
omg….did anyone check out adam lambert’s outrageous pics on http://www.rickey.org….yikes
Check out NOOP DOG MILLIONNAIRE below:
Michael–I take back all the nasty things I said about you, except with the Gokey thing, which of course, you completely deserved. No human deserves to go through the shredder like Gokey did last week. I liked Jessie and Mishovanna for the Wild Cards. I actually think Allison is a little overrated and getting some cool points because she’s “only 16.” Adam’s song was odd for me. Satisfaction? He would have done better singing “What’s Going On”, because at least the shouts would have sounded like they fit with the song. I really think Jessie should get the WC. I like her down-to-Earth, girl next-door bluesy sound. Mishovanna was not as terrible as the judges made her out to be. In fact, I thought she was rather good. If it were up to me, I’d put both Mishovanna and Jessie through, along with Anoop Dogg.
Excuse me?? Adam Lambert equals Meatloaf is like saying that Brussle Sprouts taste like Creme Brulee! Come on! The dude is not a professional vocalist and cannot hold a note like Meatloaf. However, Lambert is alt-rock band material. He’s not a solo artist. And whoever said Sam Harris? Good call. Straight Sam Harris pretty much.
Mish and Anoop, clearly.
I really think this year is going to be good. When VFTW has no choice but to vote for the most flamboyant because the singers that suck rightfully get booted off, you know the talent pool is much deeper. Gokey is good and I’m still rooting for him, but I am actually looking forward to an Idol where 9 out of the twelve songs don’t sound like fingernails across a blackboard. I want to see range and diversity with the singers. I want to be entertained for a full hour and not just seven minutes. I want the talent of all the singers to take attention away from Gokey and Lambert because every singer has a chance to win it. I think it makes for a rather boring show when you’re basically expecting a sing off between two people. If this really is a singing contest, I think Idol may just acheive its goal of becoming a talent show and not a beauty contest.
Lambert equals Meatloaf is like saying brussel sprouts taste like Creme Brulee. Sam Harris = Von Smith, that makes more sense.
Mish and Anoop for the card.
Adam the Theatre Guy needs to drop this oversinging gambit and become Adam the Serious Musician. His photos are not going to help him, as I can’t see any rock stars of the past allowing themselves to be photographed kissing another guy. Sorry, if Adam walked into a bar where Kiss, Axl Rose, or Motley Crue were sitting, he’d probably get his butt whooped.
Adam needs to dial down the theatrics…the way he screeched ‘Satisfaction,’ he might as well have belted ‘Defying Gravity’ for his semis perf. (Great…now I just gave Von Smith a song choice idea.) It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Adam finally realizes he ain’t performing for peeps in nose-bleed balcony seats. Even Constantine knew when to show his sensitive side (“I Can’t Make You Love Me”). Another thing…rearranging Cher’s ‘Believe’ does not a David Cook make. Although at this point, I probably would take that shrieky queen over Gokey. Did you guys know his wife died? Just a year ago? As for wild card…who cares, as long as Anoop Dog Millionare makes it in. Jai Ho!
Score one for the Idolatry Producer! No offense to Kris, but Jesse’s awesomely unique voice should have rightly carried her to 3rd place behind the overhyped performances of Alison and Adam. I agree that “Bette Davis Eyes” was easily the best song choice thus far. She has the perfect voice for a song like that, and ably covering Kim Carnes is no easy task for any singer. But of course, she got nothing but flack when she asked Randy to clarify his critique. Come on now… Randy doesn’t even know what he’s saying most of the time, so I say good for her for interrupting one of his never-ending dawg speeches for some constructive advice. But of course, his response only exposed a very clear bias toward the kind of vein-bulging belting that we’re sure to get from Von Smith this week. Von is nearly as annoying as Adam–who by the way, will NEVER win AI. No one whose singing style is best complemented by jazz hands will be selling out arenas anytime soon. Go back to musical theater!
I agree…Jesse singing ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ is, pants down, the best song choice thus far. I really thought the slinky, sassy songstress would crack the Top 12. Oh well. I am happy for cutie Kris (let’s hear it for America, for giving two peeps with zero airtime a shot over early faves Matt G and Jasmine). He’s got a Jesse Bradford (Bring It On, Swimfan) vibe.
OMG….did anyone check out adam lambert’s outrageous pics on http://www.rickey.org?? i mean, i don’t have anything against gay pple, but that is just gross!
I’m honestly not feeling anyone in group 2. I don;t think the man-on-man tongue kiss picture floating around the net is going to help Adam that much. He might be the best of that group though, not that that is saying much.

aww purplebanjos, I luv ya, but AI has never been about the singing. As evidence: Sanjaya, Chicken Little, Haley Scarnato et al. AI is a popularity contest based on whomever’s fanbase has the time and inclination to vote, vote, vote their little fingers off. IMO, occasionally those two criteria match and result in the best “singer” actually winning e.g. Kelly, Fantasia, David Cook, but just as often the best “singer” doesn’t Elliott, Melinda, Clay, etc.
I am a professional singer and I stopped watching AI for good singers about Season 4.
