I work long hours so just saw the shows today. I like Caleb and Emily. What drove me crazy was trying to hear Randy's comments over the audience screaming and clapping. I hate that they do it that way. Not that I care what he is saying so much, but it is totally annoying. I am glad some of you commented on that. I was thinking maybe now that I am in my 50's perhaps it was some old age problem on my part I can't hear two things at once.

I didn't like MK's song at all, so fast forwarded. She is good on ballads. I like Sam but don't think he will last long. Caleb has such a huge personality I hope he sticks around. I really like Emily, I don't even know why but I like her. The rest...not so much. I think the talent last season was better, but the judges were a mess.

I think Sam is just introverted. He has a great voice. Hopefully he being coached and learning to sing without the guitar or just looking at it.

I like his music style

Yeah, and your point?

Looks like this thread is gonna be another season of whinning and armchair quarterbacking.

It didn't take a musical guru to recognize that Adam Lambert's talent was FAR BETTER than Kris Allen.

Kris Allen Has Pulled The Plug On His Own Career -- Lashes Out At American Idol | Celeb Dirty Laundry

Quote:
Kris Allen’s second studio album Thank You Camelia has been projected to sell between 15,000 and 20,000 copies. The underperformance of his music career has led to rumors of his record label wanting to cease his contract and dump him. All of these Kris Allen revelations about Idol came out as Adam Lambert achieved magnificent success, reaching number one on the Billboard album charts with his latest album, Trespassing. When Kris Allen was asked whether he watched the American Idol finale, he said “No, Idol should really pull the plug now.” This is a really deafening blow to the show that gave Kris Allen his 15 minutes of fame, with many Kris Allen critics slaughtering him for his revelations about Idol
So as I stated and will repeat again .... I now just watch American Idol for what it is.

And I no longer expect the MOST talented person will win.

Kris Allen was still a better singer. Not all AI winners go on to have the best careers. That is not a news flash. Same kind of thing happens in sports, college, etc.

I wasn't putting that on you, but the many in here who have nothing positive to say, yet say over and over and over again how awful the show still is, yet racks the post totals up rather than changing the channel.

I think that speaks volumes about Adam's talent!
Correction, no singer can fill Freddie Mercury's shoes. Besides that, why do it? So now Adam can go off and sound like Freddie Mercury? So now Queen can be a Cover Band! Wow! Sounds like a Vegas act.

Subjectively, I could care less.

My point about Kris Allen was missed on you. To take your own advice, read the rest of my ^ post.

Kris Allen a better singer?

Sorry ... but that is laughable.

Adam Lambert was so incredibly talented, that rock group Queen may soon be touring with him:

Not many singers can fill Freddie Mercury's shoes.

I think that speaks volumes about Adam's talent!

Meanwhile Kris Allen doesn't even have a record label anymore.
