[quote comment="49920"]Rumor has it that Jamar gets the axe tonight. Could it even be possible that they dumped the VERY talented and soulful Jamar over the human trainwreck pitchfest that is Tatiana?
[/quote]
Keep in mind that you can’t compare them keeping a guy over keeping a girl because there will be an even 18-18 split between in the Top 36. Whether they keep Tatiana will have no bearing on whether they keep Jamar.

Is it just me, or is Idol showing the door to MANY very talented black performers this year? Laneshe? Jamar?
Could it be they have their token quoate met and all others must go? Could it be they are keeping Tatiana because they needed to meet their latin quota?
I hope not, but sure seems smelly to me.
[quote comment="49912"]Watched the YouTube on Adam L. he does have ability in his lower register imo. He carries the tune, can hit the notes well in lower keys but cannot hold notes there long. Which is no real big deal, I can tell he’s worked hard training his voice to do this and that is commendable. But his power and projection are in the higher keys. Many male singers have had commercial succses with similar vocal sound but have not had to “win” competitions on this grand a scale against other male vocalists. No doubt he has an army of support at this stage but will it be enough?[/quote]
Of course it will be enough…unless its not. He is definitely going to win….unless he doesn’t. :w00t:

[quote comment="49908"]I got to watch the show last night on our brand new tv with surround sound. Sweet! Anyway- I am definately a Danny fan. I thought Matt (dueling piano guy) was great. I really don’t like Adam, just not my cup of tea I guess. I really wanted to see Alex (with the eyebrows) sing more, but they haven’t shown much of him since his audition, which I loved.[/quote]
Cute name, Hebejebes!! :tongue:

To prove my “Annie Lenox” point, relisten to Adam’s rendition of “Believe” and tell me he isn’t channeling Annie. If I didn’t know it was Adam, I would think it was a Lenox recording.
I think I have identified that thing Adam has “added” to his sound that is making his voice seem so ‘feminine’ compared to the old vids we have seen of him online.
He has increased the speed of his vibrato. As a singer myself, it is easy to speed or slow your vibrato (if you are trained) and thus, I think this is a wilful choice on Adam’s part (and not a wise one).
With the increased vibrato, he sounds less like a strong tenor male and more like Annie Lenox. I hope someone who has his ear will tell him this.

I’m counting these type of comments – this makes 3. :cool:[/quote]
Does mine really count Amy? I said it in jest and followed it by a retraction. :wink:[/quote]
Definitely counts. Alan said his in jest also, and has been doing all kinds of back-pedaling to put conditions on it, but it doesn’t matter. If it came out of your mouth, it counts. BUT the good news is that it will not be held against you!
[quote comment="49851"][quote comment="49820"]Re-listened to Lambert in the sound clip from Slim. I’m more on the “no” side of the fence. I’m just not digging his vibe. (Vibe? Am I suddenly from the 60′s now? lol)[/quote]
I’m with you on this one. I also liked Giraud and awful lot. Gokey is still my favorite. McIntyre isn’t doing it for me.
I wholeheartedly agree about Tatiana, Nick and Nate![/quote]
Well, you’re just IN my head, aren’t you? :tongue:

I totally blew it. I thought Tbrat’s room was toast but we need to keep the token drama queens to add spice to the show :angry:
[quote comment="49863"][quote comment="49861"]I originally liked Adam Lambert. But it seems the more he sings the more girly his voice sounds. And what’s up with the eyeliner ? :dizzy:[/quote]
I am an Adam fan and I agree. He needs to show us his lower register (which is awesome) and fast or he will get labeled as the ‘drag queen’ of the competition.
An strong upper register is like icing on a cake. It makes the cake taste better but who wants to eat a whole bowl of just icing every night? Adam needs to mix it up.
The consensus I am getting from across the web thus far is that Cher’s “Believe” was a terrible choice for Adam. Most people think he “pulled it off”, but why make such a risky pick this early on? Especially since Cher is the ultimate gay icon and Adam will struggle with the whole gay thing on this show (if he comes across as over-the-top about it).[/quote]
True. But the funny thing is, I never thought Adam was “gay”, since a lot of non gays wear eye liner, such as David Cook.
When I first heard Adam Lambert, he was my favorite. But each time I heard him after that, his voice seemed to change. I don’t really care for the girly type sound of his voice now. But if that’s how he really sings, then that’s his choice I guess. Just not my choice.

Lol, what can I say, just don’t like her. I think it is because to me, she looks like she could be a complete b*tch under the smile. Also, I never liked her voice as to me, it was a continual pitch-fest. I’m not saying anyone is wrong by liking her – I just don’t personally.
Casey, on the other hand, is a sexy little bear cub. You just want to squeeze her

Next year, I am going to try to keep count of how many times this comment, or a similar one, is repeated! Let’s see, this season so far, Alan has said this already, so this one makes 2…. :cool:[/quote]
We should start a count starting tonight! I find it laughable every single year.
