I am having a hard time. I LOVE Adam, but Kris is pulling me in!

[Shell Beau]

:o

1. I know

That was really nice by Kris. UGH! I've voted for Adam every week. I think Adam would put out a cd with a wider variety of songs. Kris is still kinda one dimensional to me. I think he's good, but I think I would enjoy Adam's better.

[elocs]

37. How exactly do you phone to vote? I get a ring and then a busy signal.

Do you dial all the numbers at once?

On edit: this should have been a response to the original post.

[vard28]

2. Okay, Adam's back on top with this second song

And I haven't even heard Kris yet. LOL!

[Shell Beau]

3. Yeah, that was good!

[jefferson_dem]

4. That performance by Adam was beyond words...

I'm weeping here...

"Change" is one of my personal favorite songs ever put to record and the guy just updated it to TODAY like a badass. I've been a mad fan of Adam's artistic chops since the beginning but he just outdid himself right there.

Here's the audio - http://www.rickey.org/eight-temp/Adam-Lambert-1-2009-05-19.mp3

6. And Kris just isn't bringing it this time around.

Of course Kris sang one of my very favorite songs of all time with Ain't No Sunshine. That may have been why I loved it so.

[vard28]

8. That's one of the reasons I like him so much

I think his theater experience has given him the advantage instead of hurting him. He really knows how to use emotion and do it his way. I know people make fun, and I know there are a LOT of people who don't like him, but I will be adding his music to my ipod library whether he wins or not.

[bigwillq]

5. Kris was better the first song, imo.

But Adam came back strong with his second.

[Shell Beau]

7. Yep, and Kris just didn't bring it with the second one.

[vard28]

9. Nope

He really didn't. I can't wait to hear their third songs.

[bigwillq]

13. Yeah, Kris was just ok the second time.

But I do like him, I just think Adam is better.

[LostinVA]

10. Don't let the Fundies win, Little Delta Kitten Baby Mama!!!

They have a big campaign to "elect" Kris, so that a "homosexual" isn't American Idol. Seriesly.

[Shell Beau]

25. Well it looks like I can help two causes here. The most talented and

beat those crazy fundies.

[Kahuna]

11. Kris killed it for round 1. Adam killed it for round 2. Round 3 coming up..

:popcorn:

[johnnie]

12. Adam has a much better vocal ability I think

Kris isn't bad, but he sounds like many other people to me.

Kara has to go

[Kahuna]

14. Kara ALMOST makes you appreciate Paula.....

ALMOST. :scared:

[vard28]

15. I was wondering why she was the choice for the fourth judge

She grates on my nerves.

[johnnie]

16. I can take Paula

Even more after this season.

[LostinVA]

17. I adore Paula -- she is truly nice and goofy, and the OxyC just makes her goofy

Plus, she's usually right.

[Kahuna]

19. The third song sucks as usual. nt

[LostinVA]

21. It always does

[LostinVA]

22. It always does

[blue_onyx]

43. I like Kara

I think a fourth judge is unnecessary though. I would get rid of Randy...he adds nothing to the show.

[Shell Beau]

Adam's voice is unreal. His range is crazy!

[johnnie]

18. Kara's song sucks

"With every step you climb another mountain"? ...Really?


Boy she is really reaching new heights.

[vard28]

20. Holy crap

Those lyrics SUCKED. That must have been embarassing for him to sing. Cripes!

[jefferson_dem]

23. Syrupy sucky. Not even good enough for a Disney straight to video release.

Ack!

[Kahuna]

24. That may be the worst coronation song ever..

:scared: If Kris can make something out of that he deserves to win.

[vard28]

26. Nope

Kris can't pull this one out of his butt, and they both tried, but good GOD, it wasn't anything to work with.

[blue_onyx]

39. It was bad but not that bad

I think "Inside your heaven," "This Is My Now," and "Do I Make You Proud" were probably worse.

[Shell Beau]

40. Even though those are all terrible, this one takes the cake for me.

Especially for the people who it was written for.

[blue_onyx]

46. I'm not sure it was written for them

It may have been a generic song picked since it fit the requirements for being cliche, sappy, and bad.

[Shell Beau]

27. Did she write that? It is terrible NO MATTER who sings it!

Terrible terrible song!

[Inspired]

28. Doesn't it though? It is awful.

[DatManFromNawlins]

30. Kris was flat out the better singer

Adam was the better performer over the course of the season, but Kris was easily better tonight and will ultimately be the more successful of the two.

[Shell Beau]

33. No way! I may prefer Kris's music taste, but Adam blows

Kris out of the water vocally. No question there. Even Kris admitted that he wasn't the best vocalist. I like his style though. It suits my musical taste better, but I have to go with Adam when it comes to the actual singing.

[DatManFromNawlins]

51. Yes way

Kris was definitely the best at singing the songs they sang last night. I'm not one who cares one way or another about any social aspect of a pop singing competition, so I had to judge them purely on how well they performed. Kris was the better of the two on songs 1 and 3. Adam was better on song 2.

Kris doesn't have the power in his voice that Adam does, but he doesn't try to eat the damned microphone every time he wants to put some power behind his voice either.

[grace0418]

31. Craptacular. Even worse than the other dreck they've written for past Idol contestants.

Even Simon alluded to how bad it was.

[Shell Beau]

35. As a song writer, Kara should be embarrassed at herself.

[blue_onyx]

49. Definitely not her best work

She has done songs I really like in the past.

[Shell Beau]

29. I really think they tied tonight, but I am going with ADAM!! Go Adam!

His voice is awesome. Kris almost pulled me in because he sang one of my favorite all time songs, but it still has to go to Adam. Even with that awful song at the end. But that wasn't his fault. Good God.

[Kahuna]

32. I actually think Kris served Adam tonight. As bad as the coronation

song was, I thought Kris' version was less bad.

[Shell Beau]

34. I agree, but the song was not at all something Adam would sing.

Kris either, but it is more of a song for him than Adam IMO.

[merh]

36. So the last song was one written by Kara and it sucked?

I had to walk the dogs and didn't get to hear the 3rd song.

Before I left, it was round 1 Kris/round 2 Adam

I personally like Kris better, Adam is too theatrical - he would do great on Broadway in that Rock of Ages play.

I could see him redoing some of Queens videos and music.

[Shell Beau]

38. Oh, the song was gross really. It was BAD!!! I mean BAD!

[merh]

41. What did Simon have to say about it?

and Kara or whatever her name is, drives me nuts -

[Inspired]

44. You could tell Simon hated the song.

You can also tell that all 3 judges think Adam is the best thing to happen to AI in a long time.

[merh]

45. I think they had more talent this year than the year they had

clay aiken on - if Kelly Clarkson was up against the last 3 to survive this season, she would have been voted off.

[blue_onyx]

47. No, Kelly would've kicked everyone's butt

I think this season's talent was below average...particularly Danny. Danny was AWFUL and should not have made it past Hollywood. Most of the top 10 wouldn't have survived in previous seasons. I actually think the second season had the strongest singers overall.

[Shell Beau]

50. I liked Danny, but Kelly can SANG!!!!!!

She is awesome, IMO!

[Shell Beau]

48. He kinda made fun of it. He joked about the lyrics when

critiquing Adam!!

[blue_onyx]

42. I think Adam did better on the last song which really surprised me.

I thought the type of song they usually pick for the first single would play more to Kris' strengths. He, however, really didn't do well. I liked both of their first performances...I would give the first round to Adam if I had to pick one. I didn't like the songs picked for the second performances but Adam did better. So I would give all three rounds to Adam. I have a weird feeling that Kris may win though.
