Comments on: I’m Coming to Wichita This Weekend! http://blogs.kansas.com/idol/2009/04/29/im-coming-to-wichita-this-weekend/ Wichita's favorite ex-contestant is your guide to 'American Idol' Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:52:08 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5.2 hourly 1 By: dtimmons http://blogs.kansas.com/idol/2009/04/29/im-coming-to-wichita-this-weekend/comment-page-1/#comment-3689 dtimmons Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:48:21 +0000 http://blogs.kansas.com/idol/?p=245#comment-3689 That screaming you all are referring too is pure rock talent and I have a feeling that Adam will blow the place away next week. He is an all-around performer, great vocal range, and awesome performing capability. The others are good singers, but not performers. That is the difference. I love Allison and would be fine with her winning, but I don't think it will happen.

OR... people are getting tired of his screaming! That Jamie Foxx "song" was awful. I mean... didn't Cher do that voice box thing 10 years ago?? Using that for a whole song just covers up that maybe you can't sing?!!? I have to agree with Mel… people probably felt that Adam was safe, and didn’t vote for him.

I cringed when he picked a side-- I wish he would've said he didn't know where to stand poor guy. I hate when Ryan creates those uncomfortable situations, like asking judges which they like best out of two, or asking contestants who they think should stay or go. B/c if they answer, and the judges usually do, it can further upset or humiliate a contestant who may already be down-and-out or who thought they were on top of the world only to learn they're not. B/c Adam was confident, he was made to look a little foolish for thinking he wouldn't be in the bottom 3. What purpose does that line of questioning really serve? It doesn't matter what the judges or contestants think--it's up to the voters and everyone knows they're totally unpredictable, so stop creating scenarios for such awkward/embarassing results already. I'm guessing what happened with Adam is that people like me (self-professed members of Team Adam) stopped voting for him b/c they thought he was safe. Ppl prob assume he's fine so they vote for others in hopes to keep them around for one more week. I'll start voting again next week! Whoopsie for Adam.

The idol is a person who is marketable as a recording artist as well as a stage artist. I would go see Adam on stage but can't imagine listening to an album of his songs for long. Too much screaming for me. My new favs are Allison and Kris. Hope they are in the finals. If Kris continues to impress he would be my pick. I could listen to him on a long drive. Allison maybe not so much. Being a Janice Joplin fan I see the resemblance and love it but still like Kris more. I was surprised to see Adam in bottom two but can see the reasoning behind it.

Why? Because he chose the perceived winners group when Ryan asked him where he thought he belonged. If he'd EVER watched Idol at this point in the competition, he'd know better than to choose. (Or if he had any sense of humility whatsoever, he'd know better than to choose.) I'm starting to think that maybe he won't win. Which is absolutely fine. He's bound for a career that will probably make him more money than winning Idol would anyway. This is the most talented and entertaining top 5 since I started watching 5 or 6 years ago. It's impossible for me to predict who should win. And yes, Natalie Cole has been quite ill. Google her and you can read all about it. Hepatitis C and she needs a kidney transplant.

We were *just* there. Literally we have been home in Iowa for like 3 hours. So disappointing! Oh well, when we plant our new church you'll come back and sing there once, won't you? :-) Gah!!

Trust me I cannot carry a tune and would wet my pants if I ever had to sing in front of the millions of people that Phil sings for. I just get a little obsessed about Idol and tend to go on and on. I have heard of mjsbigblog but have not read it except as it has been linked by other sites. My niece and I do our own litte blog for family and friends She is young but takes after me and can leave no opinion unexpressed so sometimes we agree and sometimes we do not. I'm not completely psycho though. I know there are other things going on in the world besides American Idol. I just choose to ignore them during Idol season lol! ack, I feel a bit guilty that 2 people like my posts better than Phil’s posts.
