He's my pick too. I haven't watched it in a couple of years but I like the audition shows and once I saw him I decided to follow it and see how he does.

oh yeah, danny kinda reminds me of david cook with a smoky-ish voice but what i like about him is his sensitivity. he seems like a really, really sweet guy. he really loved his wife who left this earth too early and he is so dedicated to his best friend. i like people like that, that put someone else before themself. it won't get to his head, i'll bet he'll take his best friend along wherever he goes. that alexis was pretty good, too, for only 20 years old. (whoops, no spoilers...hmmm...but it's hard, this is the Idol thread. superbet needs to catch up here).

I am watching it, not me exactly but my husband. He likes to watch it and talk about how people sound crap. But this years there are good singers both of us agree.

I just listen to it because I'm always online. Since we are talking about reality shows, are you watching Survivor Tocantins?

I'm just asking you because I know how much you love Brazil. It's SUUUPER cool not because of the show but because of the scenary. :D

Tocantins is North of Brasilia, Brazilian highlands.

Here's the first episode. I love the fact that the guy knows how to pronounce Tocantins. What a cute accent. :wub:

I've heard that contestant, Alexis Grace, has family in Alabama.

So far 3 Bama boys have made it to the finals: Ruben Studdard, Bo Bice, & Taylor Hicks
(all 3 of them grew up within 50 miles of where I live)

From what I have heard the talent on Idol this year is much more generic without any originality or variety. My ex-girlfriend made me watch it for the past three years.

You're right Lee. The thing is: They are looking for a pop/"rock" product that can sell. Originality is not always lucrative at a first moment. The mass can't assimilate it easily. Something commercial is easily digested.

It's probably better for him as an artist. Idol is all about the drama ad nothing to do with music. And those who win never have to "pay their dues" (if you'll forgive the cliché) and as a result, have very little to sing about. So they inevitably wind up making fauxtown records.

Sean will still be growing as an artist while his colleagues are waiting to be old enough to go on "Where Are They Now?"

Beware of what you wish for! My oldest son has implored me to watch LOST. He left Season 1 and 2 with me last weekend and said to "catch up". I'm almost through season 1, staying up till 2 every night. It is addicting. Haven't felt like this about a series since Sopranos. However, I'm sure nothing can top Sopranos for me.

I have season 1 in DVD. I have to watch it. I watched the first 4 episodes and I liked it.

But that happened to me with House MD. I downloaded three episodes to watch them while I was on vacations and I watched them in one night. And with ER, 11 episodes in one weekend.


Well.... Back on topic. Yesterday I watched the Danny Gokey presentation and he is reaaally good. I like him.

who watched it this week? i fell asleep through half of it all nights this week. just wondering what you are thinking of the 'winners' so far. i was glad to see anoop made it into the top '13'.

i still prefer Danny over the others but i know the competition will be HOT with that adam guy. in fact, adam will prob. win it all. if you look closely he resembles Elvis. he's a little too rock for me. wonder if he can even do a love ballad.

There are several videos of him posted on youtube ...

Here's one of him singing a duet from Wicked (the play) that seems to have been taken during a street fair in LA:

As Long As You're Mine (from Wicked)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u4PwAR2Nus&NR=1

Here's another one from a performance at the Upright Cabaret in Hollywood, he's singing Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" with just a piano accompaniment:

thanks, human mind..i'll check them out at work (i have dial up at home). :whistle:

so what does everyone (or the few chosen ones) think so far of how idol is going?

country week sure killed adam...i mean, he still is in the running but it showed another side of him. i think with idol, the person has to be able to perform all genres....i like anoop alot, too, but i'm afraid he doesn't have the rhythm and moves for rock songs (i.e. beat it was a disaster) this is why i think danny might pull it off. i think he can do just about anything.

well, i'm prob. writing this all for naught coz i don't think anyone here is a follower.

megan is cute but she needs some new kind of moves. swaying her arms is like what a 4 year old would do...

Well I decided to actually watch it this year, so you're not alone.

I was bummed that Alexis booted, but her performance wasn't very good to my ears ... thought she should have vocally played with some of the changeups more (I think she should have allowed her voice to crack a little in spots, for effect). Besides I didn't think the song choice was appropriate for her, I mean "Jolene" is kind of a depressing song. Maybe she should have gone with a Dixie Chicks song like "Wild Open Spaces" or "There's Your Trouble."

I like Danny, and hope he'll do well ... but him and Matt Giraud have similar vocal ranges ... not sure if that'll work in either of their favors as time goes on.

Anoop is pretty good, I've seen a number of his performances on youtube, they've got a ton of video's with him singing with an a capella group out of the University of North Carolina (call themselves the Clef Hangers). For instance they do a cover of Ozzy Osborne's "Crazy Train" ... very funny.

I think that Megan or Scott might be the next to go, if they don't up their respective games. Megan's got an interesting voice, but I couldn't honestly say that I'd want to listen to an entire album full of it. Scott's somewhat bland in his singing style, I admire the fellow for getting up there and taking on the challenge ... but I've never really been a Bruce Hornsby fan and that's kind of who he reminds me of vocally.

I really have enjoyed Kris Allen's performances, he's been entertaining ... when they said he was doing "Man in the Mirror" I almost cringed at the thought, but he did a damned good job with that song and I thought he did a nice arrangement with "To Make you Feel my Love" this week.

... as for Adam, while there were spots of his version of "Ring of Fire" that were self-indulgent, I actually thought it was pretty bold and it was actually the first song that he's done on the show that I was impressed with. Hey if Johnny Cash can redo Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt" then why not?

I think that Lil Rounds has a phenomenal voice, a lot of power to it and I think she'll do well if she picks the right songs ... thought the judges were too hard on her this week.

Finally Allison is amazing for a 16 year old, her voice is really solid and I'd really like to hear her tackle something by say ... Pat Benatar, although maybe that might not work. Regardless she really nailed that Heart song she did a couple weeks ago.

So there ya go, not only will I admit to watching the show I'll admit to paying attention it to. :D

I respectfully disagree with you. I don't think anyone can dispute the talent of Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Lambert. And then there's always Jennifer Hudson. She is fantastic. How do you know some of them haven't paid their dues? There are artists who struggle before success and some who hit it quickly...Alannis Morrisette is one example

WHAT A SHOW! motown week and it was pretty darned great. Adam (who is not my fave but still very talented) has to be voted #1 after last night's performance. he was really amazing and i have been thinking of him as elvis since the very beginning. he has those eyes. (i personally don't find him attractive). but he ALSO reminds me of Freddy Mercury with that voice range. he didn't falter on any of the notes.

and then of course Allison did a bang up job. i was a bit disappointed in Danny as he is the one i'm rooting for. he'll have to really make up for it next week.

i think meghan or mike will go home this week. meghan REALLLLLLLLLLLY sucked and though she's cute and all i've never really liked her much. she seems too mary-tyler-moore-ish...and her 'dance moves' suck.

anyway, i know only one (maybe :boogie: ) will read this.

oh yessss, kris seems like such a sweetheart and he has a great voice, too. i was surprised megan wasn't voted off. granted, she is very pretty and has her own jazzy style which i really like BUT...like the judges said, her For Once in my Life was a trainwreck, all over the place. she seemed to falter on a lot of the notes. she needs some work.

by far adam did blow everyone out of the water. he was totally amazing. and he seems to really absorb the criticism, not take offense and use it constructively. when smoky was talking to him adam seemed truly interested in every word smoky said. and when the judges talk to him...i'm only surprised it took this long for him to become famous as i've heard he's been trying for years. how could his talent only surface on idol? he's going to go farrrrrr.

As cute as Megan is, she needs to go. It's a shame she hung on longer than Alexis when she isn't nearly as good. I guess that's what you get when the public is voting. They don't always vote on the quality of the voice. We'll see what happens this week. I can't wait to see what Adam does next!

That's exactly what I was thinking...he could be the next Freddy Mercury. He is very professional in every way. I can't figure out why he would need American Idol to make it in this business. I also like Danny and Kris.

he's frickin' amazing. he is soooooo comfortable on stage. a natural. i always look forward to what he'll do next. i've heard things about him (which don't really matter but people like to stir the pot) and then i saw a few really racy youtubes of him -- gyrate city puts elvis to shame. (!!!)....quite the spectacle but he has TALENT that can't go unnoticed. i would buy his CDs if he made them. i loved Queen and this would be a re-birth. he is almost faultless with that voice.

don't like how we could only hear two judges opinions each time around, though. maybe they should have kept it three judges this season. oh well. danny's was beautiful as well and anoop really sang with his heart this time but can't see him doing bopping rockers. even though allison's great i was not too impressed with her last night. so tonight it's either lil or kris that will be leaving. my prediction anyway.

Danny was great but sadly he left last night. Having Kris and Adam in the finals is superb! Our renter choreographed the top 13 for the finale today and she loves all of them. She has a huge crush on one of them! She said Adam is a great guy and so is Kris. She said Alexis Grace is joining them and that made me happy. She went home way too soon.

i was sad to see danny go. i will vote for adam on Tues. because of the ding dong effect simon said might happen. adam really deserves it of everyone as he is so charismatic and talented. he can do ANYTHING and create it to the fullest. and he does seem like a nice and honest guy. i heard that danny wasn't as nice as we 'think'...that he was 'full of himself', etc. etc. i know that one YELL/SCREAM at the end of a song he did a few weeks back is what did him in. it was awful and i was surprised he was voted in at that time. also heard that he wasn't as selfless as the others and that kris and adam were always helping others with their songs first.

yes, alexis grace was a sweetheart. i would like to have seen adam vs. allison but it's prob. best that didn't happen. the top 13...i have to say they really were all great.

She had a huge crush on Matt. She said they were all nice and she loved working with Adam.

I have to say, I'm glad Kris won. I know Adam is the bigger talent, but he doesn't need to win to make it big. He will be HUGE!!!

This was a great season.

I thought the finale was great ... couldn't believe that they got as many artists to participate as they did. When Carlos Santana came out and did "Smooth" I was shocked, would have preferred if they did it with a soloist singing but at least they all got to perform with him. When Adam started singing "Beth" I knew that KISS must have been in the building, given how things had played out ... with each song including the original artist ... and Adam did a solid job on that one. Thought that Danny Gokey and Lionel Ritchie sounded pretty good together, and Kris sounded great with Keith Urban. However when Kris and Adam did the duet with Queen (or rather with Brian May and Roger Taylor) ... well it was awesome, but I couldn't help but wish that it had been a song that Adam got to do solo with them instead.

Read an article at the Rolling Stone website where they were talking with Brian May about it, they wanted to know if they'd spoken to Adam about doing something with Queen. He was enthusiastic, you know a few weeks ago it was announced that the relationship with Paul Rodgers touring with Queen is done and over now. Rodgers is heading out on the road sans Queen.

Here's a snippet from the article, where Brian addresses rumors about whether they're considering Adam as a frontman for Queen:

“Amongst all that furor, there wasn’t really a quiet moment to talk,” May tells Rolling Stone in an e-mail interview. “But [drummer Roger Taylor] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point. It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.”

Rolling Stone Article

... so it would seem that there's interest, and Adam sort of confirmed that on an interview elsewhere.

Wish Kris much luck on his endeavors too, totally reminds me of a Jack Johnson or Jason Mraz type ... he definitely impressed me at various points during the competition. His rendition of Kayne West's "Heartless" was excellent, a whole lot better than the original version.

Good season, still wish that Alexis would have made it and the Corkey girl (Meagan) would have gotten the boot instead ... too bad she didn't choose a different Dolly Parton song that show, Jolene is pretty depressing material.
There is great need for a sarcasm font.

Sorry, I couldn't be bothered to watch the whole show but what I did see was a bit to polished for my taste. I like it better when it seems a bit more spontaneous. I was more into watching The Dodgers baseball game against the NY Mets, The Dodgers won - Yeehaw!
