6:41: (L) Watching American Idol on a big screen is going to change my life.
6:48 – Christmas for me growing up (and even now) is one of my favorite things in the world. I wake up in the morning, get my little brother out of bed, go to the fireplace and see what Santa gave us. At the ripe old age of 29, not much has changed on Christmas morning. This morning I woke with the same feeling, except I had to wait 12 hours to find out what I got from Santa, and I actually already know what I got. Kris Allen all wrapped up ready for me to unwrap (that last phrase is said as least creepy as possible, I promise.) I only hope that I was not a bad boy this year and get Adam (sticks and coal) as my gift.
6:53 – Sitting in front of the TV, with the cutest boy in a camo shirt and no pants crawling around, waiting for it to start. It could not come soon enough. I wish it was socially acceptable for me to sit here with no pants on, but I am sure I would end in some sort prison.
6:56 – I will make this promise to all of you Lamer-holics: “I, Kyle Cordell, promise to TRY to like Adam. I will not make fun of him right when I see me. However, if he is screaming with his giraffe tongue or wearing some sort of ladies bouffant, I wave all the rights of trying to like him.”
6:59 (L): Lincee’s phone rings. WHO IS CALLING ME AT A TIME LIKE THIS??? (her sister)
7:00 (L): I find it odd that a singing reality show does not have a theme song.
7:00 (L): THIS is American Idol.
7:00 – Jill, Lincee, Jill’s mom Pam, Sammy Sam Sam, and myself, is there a better way to watch American Idol. Lincee just claimed there is no AI theme song, and she could not be more wrong, when you hear that DAH DAH DAH DAH, you know what you are about to watch. Lincee is wrong and dumb. She is claiming that a song has to have someone singing. She is about as right as Kara’s Aerosmith reference last week.
7:01 (L): Ryan’s tan looks pretty in front of the blue stairs.
7:01 (L): I can see Simon’s nipples through his shirt.
7:01 – Just realized I will not be here for the finale next week and I had to take a moment of silence.
7:02 – Moment over, and Ryan just made an 80s movie reference. The three amigos, I am going out on a limb and guessing that the three of them may not be the best of friends. I can not see them going out for coffee, or Danny and Kris joining Adam when he goes to his hair girl.
7:03 – Did a chick really bum rush Adam? Would that send Adam into a state of confusion, or would he reject her quicker than when we all turned our sets during Paula’s act last week.
7:04 (L): Gokey is singing Paula’s song…”Dance Little Sister.” Never heard of it. Starting off with a “C’mon!” Raspy. Looks like he’s about to throw up. Scatting with the sax. Paula’s cousin’s name is Terence Trent D’Arby.
7:05 – Baby Sam’s pants went on and he went to bad, that is a sad time for me. And I love watching the drummer, he has so much fun, that is actually the only reason I watch Adam’s performances. Danny’s song was good, but I would love to pick a song we all knew, that would be fun.
7:07 (L): Paula loves Gokey. Go figure. She likes his gyrations. Kara can suck it. This is a SINGING competition.
7:08 (L): Gokey wants you to understand…HE JUST WANTS TO SING!
7:09 (L): Paula just punched Simon in the left breast.
7:09 – Judges time
Randy – Dude count is up to 3
Simon – I am glad he said this is not a dance show, because it isn’t. If that is the case, comment on every time Adam does some theatric motion. Does he not look like he is about to do the big finale for Cat’s when he comes on stage. (Gardale, my third man crush just walked in the door. I am in love with his sexy body.)
7:16 (L): Randy and Kara want Apologize. It’s dark and beautiful. Just like Kris.
7:16 – I hate that Kara picked Kris’ song. Did Kara just say a dark and beautiful song. She bugs the piss out of me.
7:17 (L): On the keys…baby GRAND! Kyle is singing backup right now. Close up of the fingers. I wish he had cleaned the pinky nail a little better, but I still love him.
7:17 – I love his performance, so good. He added his weird facial expressions which are always a crowd pleaser. (If I did not like him, I would make fun of those so much, but I won’t)
7:19 (L): Randy loves that Kris has vocal chords. Kara thinks that he should be swinging bats and playing his guitar. Paula talks about a bum note but she was proud. Simon calls her out. And then throws Kara under the bus. Simon is stirring it up tonight!
7:19 – Randy did not comment on his performance at all, just his future, and no DUDE. Impressive. Ok, here we go, I am starting a website and it is called:
7:21 – Thank you Simon for calling Kara out. And I love that she can not take any criticism, and she can not NOT talk, she has to always be talking. Did anyone notice that none of the judges really commented on his performance. Kara could not be anymore annoying. We all know that I love Kris, ok the cat’s out of the bag, but you have to say that was a good performance.
7:22 (L): Ryan said Kris is humble. Kara punctured Simon’s face with a press on nail.
7:23 (L): ADAM IS LAST AGAIN. HOW UNFAIR IS THIS?
7:23 – Prediction – Simon picks “Dude looks like a lady” for Adam, how fitting would that be.
7:26 – “Mini sirloin burgers” That song will be stuck in my head the rest of the night, if it is not stuck in your head, you are not a real American.
7:28 (L): Paula is a spaz in her chair. This is somber Adam.
7:28 – Paula throws in “We had lunch” about U2. NAME DROPPER.
7:29 (L): Wow. No tongue.
7:29 (L): Annnnnd there it is.
7:29 – Is that Spock up on the stage, notice the pointy ears. We are 15 seconds into the song and he falls back on his screamy phase. Could he do a song without that. It is like Seth Rogan falling back on a dirty line in a movie because he can not think of a creative, funny line.
7:30 (L): Judges let the audience scream back at Adam for a good two minutes. Randy thinks the dude is in the zone and hot. He’s keepin’ it real. Much like his friendship bead necklace. Kara thinks Adam is unbelievable. I sort of do too. Paula uses the word “one” a lot. Simon gloats since he knows famous British people. Bono is speed dialing as we speak.
7:31 – Randy – Dude count – 5, but he actually said he did not love him. Thank you, finally someone said it.
7:31:10-7:32:59 – Paula and Kara talk and give their opinion. If you are watching now, I am sorry, that i one minute and 49 seconds you will never EVER get back in your life. Sorry. The only thing that would have saved Kara’s comment to Simon better is if she said “Boom, Roasted.” She is horrible.
7:34 (L): The judges blatantly want Adam to win. Why are we even watching this show? They could at least do what DWTS does and pretend that everyone is great giving “10s” during the the semi-finals. C’MON!
7:34 – Minute Maid commercial, my favorite on TV right now. It takes a few minutes to get, which I understand, but watch it again, and again, and then you will laugh, I promise. “Cancun, Spring Break.” I would rather watch that over and over again than Kara, Paula and Adam in their own world. They should start their own show: “Two girls, a guy, an obsession and a cyanide pill.” Premise, who will take the pill after being annoyed the longest. Answer, none of the three, and then they pass out the pills to the audience, I am in line to take the first pill.
7:39 (L): Idol gives back update. Lovin the mosquito nets!
7:39 – Gardale’s quote “I bet Carrie Underwood will stick out like a sore thumb in that village.” The only good thing about this clip is that they are playing Toto, but the bad thing is they are ruining Toto. You can not ruin a great song like Africa. I had lunch with Toto the other day, and then they called me today and said I could write their name on this blog. So we are ok.
7:41 (L): Wow. We gave back quick. I love Toto.
7:42 – Debate in the room – Which Rocky had the end line “Ding Ding” and then the frozen shot of Rocky and Apollo (Carl Weathers) hitting each other. We are thinking Rocky 3, anyone? And I wish Seacrest would have done that right before commercial break.
7:45 (L): Does anyone ever go to the website and sign in for Coke Rewards? Yeah. Me to.
7:45 – If you have Comcast, cancel your subscription now and get U-verse, it is so much better. (Cheesey plug)
7:45 – American Idol has the best theme song ever, Just behind Differnt Strokes and Growing Pains.
7:46 (L): Danny. The PRIDE of Milwaulkee. And he thinks I’m beautiful.
7:47 (L): This post is brought to you by 96.5 Lite FM. And Dr. Brazenwood’s dentistry on the south loop.
7:47 – Joe Cocker is right in Danny’s wheelhouse. If he does it right, this could be good. But then we remember last week’s Dream on fiasco. Oops.
7:48 (L): I just had to wake Kyle up.
7:48 (L): I’m glad that the dude in the TOP THREE can really, really, really, really sing. That’s a good thing to have when you are in a singing competition.
7:48 – Sorry, but I am not liking this. Kind of boring, but of course he gets to the end and his note is good he hits. But all in all, it was ho hum.
7:49 (L): Simon thinks that was a vocal master class? I just shouted at the TV.
7:49 – Randy – Dude count – 7. I think Randy thinks he can sing. Really sing.
The judges are liking him a lot more than I think it was, it was a good one, but a little boring. And let’s play a game, What Pills are Paula taking today?
7:50 (L): Gokey isn’t going to worry about the O-pinions.
7:51 (L): Kris has a sparkly shirt on. Ryan wants to know if he has won a spot on the finale. Um…YES!
7:51 – I am secure in my manhood. With that being said, Kris is an attractive Male. I am a little nervous with a Kanye song. I feel like he needs Akon in the back humming some random beat and getting paid 1 million dollars. (Kanye side note; Go to Youtube and type in Kanye West President Bush and watch the video of Kanye on a telethon saying he does not like Bush and watch Mike Myers face, brilliant)
7:52 (L): Seeing Kris Allen in HD makes me appreciate his baby smooth skin more than when watching him on my 19-inch.
7:52 – Randy – Dude count – Lost count
I am impressed the judges liked him, I thought for sure they would not like him, but I was wrong, and I will be wrong if it is good for Kris.
7:53 (L): I’m assuming that Simon doesn’t know this Kanye song.
7:53 (L): Randy likes this better than Kanye. Better than the original. He is in it to win it! DUDE!
7:54 (L): Kyle wishes Kara was no longer with us. He didn’t use that phrase. But this is a family blog.
7:54 (L): Simon liked it. I think it’s the sparkles on the shirt.
7:57 – Shocker – Adam is going last. My friend James and I have a thought that the show is rigged for Adam to win. James told me not to post this, but I am anyway, because I think it may be. James, tell us your thought. And if you all remind me, I will write it.
7:58 – Adam singing Cryin, the only way this would be good is if Alicia Silverstone came in the back and got in a car with Liv and drove off. Remember my Alicia love, well all guys in their twenties and thirties remember her. She got us thorough our youth. Here goes the yell and giraffe tongue. I HATE ADAM LAMBERT. Sorry I have held it in on the blog forever but he just ruined a great song. So He ruins a U2 and Aerosmith, and Randy is now saying he is one of the best.
8:00 (L): Adam is a rocker. If you don’t believe me, read his bedazzled shirt.
8:00 – Remember watching the auditions at the beginning of this show and and a person comes out and is horrible. Simon says, why are you here, and Billy Bob says “My mom and dad think I have a real good voice.” And Simon says, “Well you are not good and someone needs to tell you that. This is the same with Adam, no one tells him he is bad. Instead, they all stroke his ego and say he is the best. Please someone be honest. But I am fine with him winning and then making horrible songs in the next few years.
8:01 (L): Guyliner is BACK with a vengeance! I had those same earrings in fourth grade.
8:01 (L): Kara: “We’ll see you at the finals.”
8:02 (L): Paula hopes he is collecting frequent flyer miles. Insert Jim Halpert face here.
8:02 – Did anyone notice drunk Kara almost fall out of her chair? She could not wait to get up to the stage, tell Adam that he is amazing and then ask where he got that amazing outfit and could she borrow it. I promise you they have a date tomorrow at Adam’s hair girl. Does anyone else not think that is scary.
8:03 (L): Simon is flat out campaigning for Adam. He just pulled out his cell phone and texted. I saw him. Chris Harrison would never do that.
8:04 (L): Kyle just used a baby rattle as a microphone, stuck is tongue out and impersonated Adam.
8:05 (L): Who’s ready for a REAL reality show? The Bachelorette begins MONDAY!
(From Kyle)
So the show as a whole was ok, but nothing just leapt out at me. I will say I liked Kris’ performances (shocker). I will predict Kris is gone though, which is sad, but in the long run will be fine, because that means he can start making CDs a lot quicker.
Thank you all for keeping up and I hope the Live Blog was fun for you all. We appreciate you guys reading all of this.
Now please take a moment to feel sorry for me that I will not get to watch the finale live next week. If Lincee let’s me, I will write some sort of follow-up when I get back. Hope you all liked.
Kara needs to go on. I thought Kris was AWESOME! Anybody but Adam please!
Kara is the worst addition to this season. Except for Adam Lambert.
I’d pay good money to hear Simon tell Kara to “suck it, you’re fired”.
Why is Simon’s shirt dirty?
Why oh why are they making Lambert butcher a perfectly wonderful U2 song?
It’s makeup from Paula’s face. I wonder if he’ll change during another commercial break.
Kyle, are you ok? Is the screeching making your ears bleed?
Oh ick, i just can’t stand the screeching from adam…and the nail polish, it’s just all too much. :-p blech!
Love Kris, he is a true artist.
Enough with the girly shrieking! How could I have ever been rooting for Adam during the auditions? Who exactly would buy his records? Dogs? Bats? Dolphins?
LOL…”Dude looks like a lady”, so far my favorite line of the night.
Adam singing U2 must be stopped.
Is it terrible if I admit I love Adam? Not the shrieking, but wow the range! he literally could sing anything….but his record I’ll admit i probably would not buy.
It’s not terrible for you to admit it Ryce. It’s brave.
I wonder if my TV has different sound filters on it. It’s an Aquos, so it should be good. But how else do you explain my COMPLETELY different reaction to the performances than the judges?
Oh my. Adam…seriously? I agree the guy has range, and I loved him in auditions…but really the shreaking is just over the top. It’s a singing competition, not a shreaking/tongue showing off competition.
I wish I could look away and not watch next week. But I can’t. I will think positively and focus on So You Think You Can Dance, which is back next week! That and Jill? Who says TV dies after May sweeps??
Thanks so much for the posts! You guys rock. (Please rock without your tongues hanging out though.)
Yikes, hope none of your readers like Adam…
Loved your live blogging. After Kris sang Heartless I said to my kids “I have to run downstairs to see what Lincee thought.” My daughter asked who Lincee was. I said my friend in TX I have never met. She said….”Does she blog on that ihategreeneggsandham website?” I was rolling!!!!!!
I love Adam’s voice a WHOLE lot more when he isn’t trying to shove his tongue towards me and shrieking. His voice is great but the American Idol is a package and I want to buy what Kris is selling. I would probably buy what Danny is selling but not so much with Adam. I hope that America pulls an upset just to watch Kara and Paula MELT DOWN!!!!!!!
Kyle I’m 99.9% sure it’s Rocky 3. I almost only catch 3&4 when it’s on TV and I remember that part well. (And we know it couldn’t be 4
Heartless was awesome and I never thought I would want to hear a song written by Kanye West. Kris is the best which is why he cannot win. America is too shallow and stupid to have the best person win. We will have our 2nd homosexual American Idol.
Oh how I wish I could be in your living room watching with you (sans pants)! I loved Kris’s version of Heartless, it was my favorite performance of the night.
Matt – who was our first homosexual AI? Clay Aiken didn’t win! Unless, you are talking about Kelly Clarkson, in which case I should tell you those rumors are not true (but I would totally be gay for her).
Trish, I want 2 kids, preferably twins so I can be done in one fell swoop. And their names will be Lincee and Kyle Jr. Wait…that sort of reminds me of Carl’s Jr., which makes me think of Paris Hilton. Nevermind.
this live blog was crazy to read. i feel like i’m in your living room!
7:52 (L): Seeing Kris Allen in HD makes me appreciate his baby smooth skin more than when watching him on my 19-inch.
HILARIOUS!!!
Thanks guys for reading and commenting. I hope you all enjoyed it. I know this is a Bachelor blog and I know nothing about that show, so I may need to watch so I can keep up. Live blogging, though fun, is a bit tough, the good thing is that Lincee and I can both talk for A WHILE.
Tara, thanks for your post, Trish was worried that she scared you off.
Ding Ding is from Rocky 4. The beginning of it… right??!!
Loved the live updates by the way. Hilarious. And everyone in my household, being myself and hubby, TOTALLY agree and HATE Adam. Can’t stand to listen or watch him. Now the feelings are even worse since he butchered both legendary U2 and Aerosmith in one episode. Boo.
Looking forward to some Bachelorette soon!!
Sad, but true story…was recording two things at once, which meant that my husband couldn’t watch the Texas Rangers…and he axed American Idol…the whole thing (I won’t admit to what the other recording was)…yay for you guys keeping me posted…was just as good (no better) than watching it…and i will go on record that I actually like Adam…like him less each week…but I have enjoyed the ride. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if Kris took it though.
Natkaps has officially become a Kris fan.
For the record, “ding, ding” is from Rocky 3, it ends the movie. Rocky 4 starts with Apollo getting killed by that commie ruskie Ivan Drago. By the way, Rocky 3 also featured Mr. T and Hulk Hogan as Thunderlips.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084602/quotes (scroll down, it’s there)
Oh yeah, I’ve now seen one episode of American Idol. Adam sounds like a mixture of the lead singer of a band called the Darkness with their epic first Album “Permission to Land”, Sebastian Bach, and every guy at Buffalo Wild Wings karaoke night. Either way it ain’t pretty.
Fantasia Morena 4Ever!
@Gardale- Oh the Darkness… I really want Adam to sing “I Believe in a Thing Called Love next week if he makes it, which I assume he will. Because for some reason people like his shrieking and eye rape. The comment I made to my sister while he was singng One was that “if Bono was dead, he’d be rolling over in his grave.” However Cryin’ worked, I just didn’t look at him while he was singing.
I’m so over Gokey. They need to remind me of his dead wife again so I go back to feeling sorry for him.
I however, spent the better part of two hours after the show phoning in my votes for Kris. His version of Apologize was good, it didn’t blow me away. p.s. if you want to hear an amazing version of Apologize, check out Luke Bryan- it has a definite country flair, but its amazing. Here’s a link to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcLEgctN6EQ
Anyway, back to Kris. Heartless was AMAZING!!!! I was so worried when he said that was the song he was singing, fearing that it would end badly, but it was perfect! I wish Kris Allen wasn’t short and married so that I could feel better about how much I love him.
also randy mentioned the fray doing a version of heartless. here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgnFKNvmV7o
pretty cool.
I was watching the 3 hour finale of The Biggest Loser – live (as my DVR was very busy last night) so I watched AI at 10pm. I started dialing almost immediately for Danny and Kris. I love Danny and Kris. I thought Paula’s choice sucked but he did good with it. I thought Kara and Randy’s choice was slightly better and Kris did good with it but wish he would have had more FACE time. Adam ruined One and I only listened to it until he shrieked and stuck his tongue out. I thought You are so Beautiful was amazing but I have loved Gokey since Day 1. But, Kris’s version of Heartless was AMAZING and the Best of Night, dawg – I want it on my Ipod but will wait for the Studio version. And, he is a TRUE ARTIST – he is the only one left who can actually play an instrument – and more than one…Then, Adam and Crying – I am pretty sure Steven Tyler was crying after listening to that guy butcher that song and I will find out today when we do lunch! :0)…so Kyle does that mean you won’t be blogging next week since you are gone? Will Lincee fill in? Or James? Gardale…btw – can we see a picture of Gardale – you have me intrigued!
THAT was fabulous. Even more so than Adam’s bedazzled shirt. I loved the duel blogging!!! LOVE!!!
I hate that they’re campaigning for Adam… Seriously, when my 8yr old step daughter says “In the beginning of his song, he sounded and looked like he was crying and then he just started screaming. I don’t get why they like him.” you KNOW it’s rigged. My husband even says “Is he trying to sound like Pat Benatar?”
Tara, I forgot that Clay Aiken didn’t win. I didn’t start watching until Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice. It just seems like Clay won since the only time I ever see Ruben is when he comes back to American Idol.
I think Jodi is right about Rocky 4. The “Ding, Ding” happened in 3 but they flashback to it in 4.
That’s what I’m stickin’ with.
Adam sucks.
Does anyone else feel like Adam has the judges in his pocket? He MURDERED “One”. Murdered it! I wanted to cry, and not just because U2 is my favorite band. I was willing to give him a chance. To me, it started out like a Richard Marx impression, and ended with that terrible, terrible screeching. Who screeches through “One”? Oh yeah, Adam does. And I loved his line of, “You all should go back and read the lyrics of ‘One’, it’s amazing and deep.” Hi, Adam? It’s me, Jenna. That song came out in the 90s. Everyone knows the lyrics and how amazing they are. That you didn’t know, makes me want to throw up.
Disgrace. I don’t care who wins, as long as it isn’t him.
You guys rock my world with this recap!
I am a fan of all three, but I must say that Kris is my “least” favorite. I personally think they were all good last night, but Adam was the worst of the three. I like Adam, but the screaming is a little much for me now. It is getting old. After last night, I really hope he does not win. I can’t imagine buying a CD with 10 screaming Adam songs on it. This is my litmus test for who I want to win, will I buy their music?
I was a little disappointed in Kris because he copied his song directly from the new reality show called “Taking the Stage” (Modern day FAME in Cincinnati). One of the students there is a folk singer named Mia who redid Heartless about two weeks ago for a contest at the school. It was EXACTLY the way Kris sang it, but better. So he got zero originality points from me. Sorry Lincee.
I really like Danny. I think he has the commercial appeal and many people like him and will buy his music (both men and women, unlike Kris – strickly women IMHO). I am sure that Danny will make it to the finale, but I am not sure who will be there with him.
Okay, the comment a/b Adam always looking like he’s about to do the finale from Cats?
Perfectly sums up exactly how I have always felt about him, but could never quite find the words to express.
Thank you.
I could not agree with you more, on every point… everybody said I was crazy for hating Adam, hating Kara and honestly thinking Kris could beat everyone, its nice to know I’m not the only one!! Last year though the judges did the same thing with David A, everyone thought he had it in the bag and low and behold David Cook won, so who knows! AND I loved your comment about Uverse, it is SOOO much better than anything else. I just moved out of Houston and can’t get Uverse here yet, I’m really mad about it, the other options stink and are WAY more expensive! Love all the AI blogs!
Lincee – Love ya! Always have, always will, but I have to disagree with you and your outspoken fans. First, I am absolutely for Team Kris. I think he is adorable, talented and I can’t help but wanting to suck his face off, despite the fact that we’re both married.
I find Danny terribly BORING!
But Adam I still really like. Yes. The tongue – way too much. But he can sing. And the “screeching” y’all are referring to his called a note you couldn’t touch even singing in your shower after the toilet is flushed! It’s amazing! C’mon, Peeps. Ever heard of a little band called Queen? Adam is Freddie Mercury reincarnated. Gay ass pants and all!
The only thing Adam has in common with Freddie Mercury is that he is attracted to men. Freddie could freakin’ sing and he did so without people vomiting. He also did it in a time before the music video era so he didn’t have to eye rape the camera to entice naive girls that he can sing. Freddie could just flat out sing and I was furious when Kara said he was a combination of Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, and someone else I can’t remember but should definetly not be mentioned with Adam Lambert.
I’ll end my tirade with this: The nerve the judges have to call so many people “self-indulgent” and never tell Adam that is insane!!
So funny Lincee, I started watching a few weeks ago, and felt all the things that you posted last night! Adam, that is not entertainment, that cruise ship material. Just because you can hit all the notes in an range, pushing them to the max, DOES NOT mean you should. More is not always better, its just more. The whole bedazzled comment, hilarious! I am not into the look, Spock ears, too funny, thought he was looking to do some type of hommage to Star Trek. Or a shout of to The Lord of the Rings triliogy??? The tounge, DO NOT like that either, noticed that and was like, what just happened there, that was weird. What he did that U2 song was terrible. It was like he was crying in it, too emotional, just don’t like his take on stuff.
DANNY, GOOOOOO-key, get out. I am not into the Joe Cocker, Kenny Rogers rasp, just enough said. Its all he does. Seriouly am not impressed with his ability. Sorry,
CHRIS, my baby. He is an artist, can play piano, guitar, makes a song differnent and understands music. He is my fav!
Go Jillian, have been sporting the side pony since she brought it back!
I didn’t get to follow along live last night but just now read through everything after watching the recording on my DVR. Y’all are SO RIGHT ON!! What was with all the hype for Adam??? I don’t understand why the judges were going on and on and even Simon- actually TELLING people to vote for him??!!! He totally looks/performs like he belongs on Broadway and he’s the same every single week. I’m tired, so tired of his screaming and the giraffe tongue and tired of everyone else singing his praises. I love Kris and Danny both and would love to see Adam go home tonight. We shall see!!!!
Um Mo, is this the version of Heartless you’re calling EXACTLY like Kris’ but better? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKY9IheNaQ8 Because, one, this is nothing like Kris’, and it is way more hip hop, if anything it’s more like the original. And two, let’s say that is exactly like Kris’ it is for sure not better. Can someone back me up on this?
They are similar. differences I noted was guitar vs. acapella choir/group backup. Kris was a little smoother in his phrasing and his voice had a little more power. Mia still had a little more hip hop bounce to it. Mia is great, but I loved Kris.
after listening to all versions on youtube (kanye, mia, the fray, and kris) i still like kris’s version best. but i’m a fan of the guitar. if anything it was more similar to the fray’s. mia’s was good but it was just like kanye’s just without the computer/electronic voice distortion.
Kris Made IT!!!!! Yay. But Adam wil win even the Elvis chick singer had his name on the back of her cape!!!
Lincee, no offense, but I wish you would stick to Bachelor/Bachelorette blogging. Those recaps are always so funny. And I don’t think you have ever really bashed one of those finalists as much as you have bashed Adam.
I’m glad Kyle will be gone next week. So sick of hearing him say how Kris is so great, Kris is so good-looking, Kris can do no wrong, blah blah blah blah blah.
Matt is obviously homophobic. And I thought the world had come so far…
So happy Kris is in! So fun to see all the SHOCKED faces. Not sure if I want him to “win” or not but he deserves to see Kara’s head spin around when Adam loses. Simon is already preparing to reverse course and say it might be an upset judging by his comments last night about a “Big Ding Dong” whatever that is.
I think more of Danny’s fans will roll to Kris than to Adam. But we’ll see, eh?
Did anyone thing that Adam’s background singer(s) were louder than he was on Crying?
Both can sing. It is just a matter of preference at this point. My favorite Adam performance was Smokey’s Tracks of My Tears (no screaming).
* Did anyone THINK
So Veronica, let me get this straight, you think that by me pointing out the fact that Adam is gay makes me a homophobe? “And I thought the world has come so far…” Please, get off your high horse, people like you are the ones who are holding this country back. Anytime someone is not liked for whatever reason you immediately play the race card or the sexual orientation card or “fill in the blank” card. My hatred for Adam is all about his singing. Do I care if he’s gay? No I don’t care what he does, just keep it private. But what pisses me off is when people jam it down my throat (no pun intended) and demand me to accept it as normal.
If you ever talked to me you would know I’m not a homophobe but you read two posts and jumped to a conclusion about me. If you had ever talked to me or anyone who knows me, you would find out that I don’t like anyone’s lifestyle jammed down my throat. I wasn’t a fan of Antonella 2 years ago either because she was a slutbag. I am sad for people who live immoral lives, but dammit don’t try to tell me I need to accept that lifestyle, especially on a family show. I will end with this, if someone wants to wallow in a pool of immoral filth and disgust fine, just don’t splash on me.

I’d like you to do a live blog on the Bachelorette. I think that would be fun during the season opener………..anyone agree?
Oh and Lincee, I appreciate you expanding your blog to us American Idol fans. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m glad you invited Kyle to join you. If Veronica doesn’t like it, let her start her own blog. I will even give her a name for it. http://www.ihatemattandanyoneelsewhodisagreeswithme.com
Has anyone noticed that Adams mom looks A LOT like an older version of Jillian? At first we thought it was her in the audiance to promote the show….
Lincee, I don’t care what you write about. It is always entertaining and enlightening. I personally love reading about your life. The blog entry about the Vodka – BEST ever! I laughed so hard I cried. I know it’s old, but still one of my favs.
Matt, Ever considered seeking anger management? Or possibly creating your own blog to barrade those who disagree with YOU? I agree people should not jump to conclusions after two posts, but neither should you after one.
Lincee’s blog is light-hearted, entertaining and funny. Go buzz kill somewhere else. I’ll leave it to you to come up with your own site name. Seems to be your forte. Happy blogging…
Well Matt, I still think Mia’s is better. She is a “folk singer” just like Kris and sings with a guitar most of the time. The point is that a folk singer is trying to make a rap song their own. I just found it ironic that it was the exact same song, sung in the same manner just a couple of weeks ago (even if she was a little more “rap-like). I guess we all have different opinions.
Kris will probably win, but he will probably end up just like Taylor Hicks. Great singer, everyone loves him, yet significantly less people buy his music (IMHO).
People – a blog is a place where someone can write their opinions and if you want to read and share your opinions, you can. if you don’t like, then don’t read and don’t comment.
Regardless of your opinions, I love and respect them all – but they ar your opinions not mine and I know that and I accept that.
Lincee you blog about whatever your heart desires – I personally love reading your take on things – from the movies you bought in the discount rack at Target, Bachelor/ette, American Idol, NKOTB, Dr.Pepper, Captain Kirk, Fame and Twilight. I think you are great, you make me smile and laugh…keep it up, girl.
wow, what exactly is the pool of immoral filth and disgust?! I think I’m going to agree with the anger management suggestion. And what is that comment, if not homophobia? I’m just sayin’……
Lincee, you make me laugh no matter what you’re blogging about; keep at it! You have a wonderful, wry, fabulous sense of humor and we thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow, there seems to be so much hate here. Jen, thanks for saying what you did, this is a blog and people can write their opinions and I promise they will not always be to the liking of everyone else. I apologize if I hurt people’s feelings, but if I tried to please everyone, I would not be able to write anything. Veronica, you will get your wish, i will not be here next week.
Thank you for everybody who enjoyed reading my RANDOM rants, because Lord knows I have plenty of them. As a friend of mine said “You have a lot of stuff going around in your head that needs to come out, and things happen to you that I can’t believe.” Did not mean to start a hatefest.
Oh and I think Kris will win, because Danny’s votes have to go somewhere.
In three years, who do you think will have sold the most cds? Here is my thought:
1. Gokey
2. Kris
3. Adam
4. Alison
Thoughts?
enjoyed the your live blog, Kyle…. ignore the negative comments….. gee, can’t we just all get along?! I really just can’t tolerate intolerance
I have been reading Lincee’s posts since the email days and this is the first time I have commented. I have liked Adam from the beginning and was very upset to find out he was gay. His dark looks just do something for me!!! But it did not sway me from enjoying his music and I will buy his CD when it comes out. Kris does some very strange facial expressions and his mouth contortions put me off. I will agree that Adam needs to stop screaming and stick with singing only. I think the judges are hyping Adam because they want people to get on the phone and vote for Kris. The “apple pie” population will win out this week and Kris will be the new American Idol and that is probably the proper conclusion. But I think Adam will have a good career because he can sing and put on a show. I would love to see him in concert as long as he did not do a lot of screaming. Of course, I am 48 years old and would probably have a heart attack being surrounded by the “type” of people that would also show up.
People need to stop making these blogs personal and just enjoy the wit that we have all enjoyed from so many years!!!!
