Just what we need... another androgynous “idol” for our children.
They are pushing Lambert for sure. That's just Simon looking out for Simon. He will have a stake in the record sales for whoever wins. But his reasoning is simple: Adam is marketable and Chris really isn't. Win or lose Lambert will be big time and Chris, win or lose, won't.
Yep, it was cutting edge when Bowie was doing it in the 70s, now it's just another tired cliche.
Since an adjective was the best he could do to describe Adam, I figured I would return the action.
I see Adam as the best performer. He is flamboyant -
though Queen-like.
Kris is far more artistic in a different way. Now that
Danny is gone, I believe the lion’s share of those votes
will go to Kris, swamping Adam.
We’ll see Adam on Broadway - and in Vegas.
No. He still would have been handsome. But all sex appeal would have disappeared the moment I knew what kind of disgusting things he was doing with other men, and when I knew there wasn’t a chance in Hell that he was actually attracted to the women he did love scenes with. It was all an ugly sham.
I don’t think they “swooned.” I think he was just interesting. I remember people making fun of him even before his homosexuality was confirmed.
You think actors actually get aroused when they are doing love scenes? EWWW.
LOL...I have to say that if I had been doing a love scene with Rachel Welch I would have had trouble not being aroused.
I don't watch the show because I find it boring. I do not like the songs that Lambert is currently singing or his style of singing. But I ran across this on Youtube. Here is Lambert a few years ago singing in a production of "Brigadoon":
"Come to Me, Bend to Me"
(You will have to stop the audio after the song finishes because it goes into some awful rock stuff later.)
Please note the phrasing at about 3:20 minutes into the song. He has an incredible voice. Too bad he isn't using it anymore.
I’m sure some do. But, that’s not the point. The point is that any romantic interaction between him and any female was a sham.
My gut says that Chris will win because in last week’s contest the top two were separated by only 1M votes. I figure that the majority of Danny voters (if they vote) will probably throw their vote to Chris.
Having said that, I do like both Adam and Chris. They were my early pick for finals. If I look at my iphone I have three songs from Chris and two from Adam.
Adam will be the bigger long term star but I think Chris will do well enough for his career.
I think you’re right. I think that’s why Simon was pimping Adam so openly last week. I think that when the “normal” vote is undiluted, Chris will win.
BTW. I agree that in terms of talent and polished, experienced performance, Adam wins. But I’m confident that, if he wins, his not-at-all-hidden gayness will be in our faces all the time. So, I’m voting for the first time tomorrow, and I will dial for Chris as many times as I can.
anyone at this stage of the competition will get a shot at a career after......but I believe even AI is not ready for such a blatantly weird winner.....while it’s been Adam’s to lose, I think Kris will win it all. and isn’t adam rather old compared to the rest of them? at 28, he must be one of the oldest.
He’s a good singer for sure, but I agree with the FReeper who said on one of the AI huge long threads that Johnny Cash should have crawled out of his grave and strangled him after he “sang” Ring of Fire.
Being on American Idol isn’t very “metal.”
I was making fun of the sentence structure.
I suspect what you meant was, “So, you’ve missed the pictures on the internet of his tonguing another man?”
I know. My response was an apparently lame attempt at a joke.
Did you listen to him sing Tracks of my tears or MAD WORLD? When he sings a ballad, like this, nobody can hold a candle to him. And he does still sing longs like that. I posted youtubes here of him singing the one you posted and a later song called I JUST LOVE YOU...he’s brilliant.
