Preach it, KsKitty. I’m a 70’s girl too.

Sorry dtimmons, I’m a child of the 70’s and I cannot stand ADAM. Now before you go jumping on your high horse, some of my favorite REAL musicians / bands I like are Aerosmith, U2, Stones, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, etc…. But he is different. There isn’t a clear tone to his voice when he screeches like that. I’ll put him up against Steven Tyler, Bono, Sammy Hagar, Mick Jagger, or David Lee Roth any day and they will put him to shame.

I actually agree w/ Dan and dtimmons. Adam can be over the top. The sticking his tongue out thing gets annoying. However, when he sings, it’s amazing. The screaming is good for a certain genre and sprinkled lightly throughout a performance. He has so much talent with so much vocal control that he truly is unbelievable when he is just singing instead of screaming. I appreciate his ability to sing that particular style of music, and I don’t think there is anyone else out there who can even come close to doing it that well right now. Could I listen to an entire album of just that style of Adam? Nope, probably not, but that’s the beauty of the IPOD! You only have to listen to the specific songs you like!

Dan, Adam is going to be a rock singer. His screaming as you call it is actually a tremendous vocal range that is perfect for rock. You must not have grown up listening to rock and roll. I haven’t heard many singers be able to sing what he sings. Even seasoned professionals who have been around for years. They are in a small group and Adam will be a star in the future.

Many of the people who complain about his screaming simply don’t understand rock music, probably grew up in the 90’s Grunge period. None of those singers could sing. The 70’s and 80’s rock rules and Adam’s style fits that type of music perfectly. That style of music is coming back and Adam could be the next huge star of rock!

I would like to see Kris win because you can understand the words he is singing, Danny for 2nd as he has that raspy unique voice, Adam needs to go, all he can do is scream. that is not singing. I am sure some rocker will sign him anyway.

I still think I like Kris the best. Adam just screeches too much for me. I don’t think he is really that good at all. Kris and Danny should go head to head next week and give my ears a break. Thank goodness for DVR so I can zoom through the BS and the screeching.

Dang, MJ. Hater? Kris is just as talented as Danny or Adam, but he has looks on his side. Something the other two don’t! Kris is probably the only one who could actually make a career out of the way he performs. Who wants to buy an album of screeching. Also – why would anyone in Alaska care about voting for Kris? Maybe you mean Arkansas (AR)?

what is the deal with people liking adam? seriously, what do you see in him? his screaming totally ruined both the U2 and Aerosmith songs…he kept going off melody which sounded weird, and he kept sticking his tongue out…he belongs in music theater……the judges rave about how he’s a lock for the finals (and evidently you think so too), but are you guys all hearing the same thing i am? he is a fantastic singer WHEN HE SINGS, but the problem is he screams too much and is way over the top on interpretation…Kris and Danny would be my choices, with Kris to win it all……

I didn’t think Adam gave it his all last night. He seemed to be holding back a bit. But he’s still my favorite, with Danny being my second choice.

I have not been a huge Gokey fan for most of the season b/c I got bored w/ him early on, but his “You are so Beautiful” truly was beautiful. It was nice to hear the soft upper range of his voice with more clarity than normal. I just wish they wouldn’t let him talk so much. Adam, on the other hand, has been my favorite for quite awhile, but the past few weeks have been predictable for me. I think if the finale had been 3-4 weeks ago, Adam would have run with it, but after last night, I think it might be a little closer. Now, for Kris. Sweet, sweet Kris! Out of these three he is the only one who doesn’t annoy me in any way (I’m really not that easy to annoy BTW!). I actually LOVED both of his songs last night. I can see him doing a record like that. I thought it was kinda funny that Kara knocked him so hard for the first song b/c he didn’t stand there w/ a guitar, and that he did that very thing on the next song. Someone must not have seen the dress rehearsal!
I too am tired of the judges antics! They spent more time judging each other’s judging last night than they did the contestants! Ugh! It seems like they have lost all sense of professionalism. They act like a bunch of kids desperate for attention! Part of the finale should include a phone number for each judge so that America can vote for their favorites. What? If they’re judging each other, shouldn’t we get to judge them too? Isn’t that the way the show works?
