Adam vs. Danny is the one everyone’s hoping for right?

I think that ends up being the last two, and here's why. This coming week, the judges make song choices for each contestant. I would expect that they will choose songs which will be a stretch for the performer and Kris has the least range in terms of style. Danny and Adam are more flexible and can do more with a wider range of song style.

Kris is my personal favorite - followed closely by Danny - but I think this week's setup will work against him.

I have to disagree with you there. If they were only limited to certain choices the show would have been over a long time ago because that would have been rigging. Someone would have found a lawyer went after AI and they would have talked by now.

Yes, I'm getting 10% of the gross (pun intened for slow readers). Are you currently unemployed or are your a palm reader?

Excuse me for judging this as a singing contest.

The way I understand it, there’s a “pre-cleared” list of songs each week. Contestants are free to go off that list, as long as they stay within the theme (and a few contestants have pushed the boundaries there over the years), but there’s no guarantee that they will be able to secure clearance in time for broadcast.

This happened to a few contestants that I can recall — once someone was on their fifth choice because they didn;t receive clearance on the first four. And then there was the flap with Archuleta last year where he “mixed in” part of a non-cleared song for his performance, which cost 19E some extra bucks in royalty payments.

You’re coming across as someone who wants to push Adam down people’s throat. I just got done reading the last couple hundred posts, you realize that most of your posts were about how great you think Adam is as a singer. I think we got the message a few posts ago.

“Well with Adam, I swear I can smell him through the TV. Yuck!”

Wow. That’s quite the ad hominem attack.

Pleae do not mistake me here ... I am glad you joined the AI list! Welcome! It’s always nice to see new people here. But I think that attack on Adam is a bit unfair and unkind. It’s true that I like his music (so far) and admire his vocal ability. However, I think I would find that unkind even if I thought he was the worst contestant ever to grace the show.

I agree completely-there are some dances of hers that are so strange but the best routines I’ve ever seen on that show were hers...
