MAN !!! I'm not sure what to think about Americas ability to vote correctly. I'm honestly not sure that the producers of A.I. are not making things more shocking on purpose. Come on people, do you really believe Adam was 2nd to last in Americas vote last night, I certainly Don't. I have a lot of friends, I mean a LOT !!! of friends who watch A.I. and none of them could believe Adam was that close to being sent home. NO ******* WAY, I don't buy it, not for a second. Pretty smart though, shock value will definitly keep America watching. I have to say though, if it wasn't an obvious plan to keep us on the edge of our seats and America really did vote that close for Adams departure and it went the other way sending Adam home instead of Matt, I would have been so discusted that it would have been very difficult to continue watching the show, in fact I most likly would have bid A.I A fond farewell never to watch it again.
Adam, Allison, Danny and kris, I wish you the best and I think the right choice was made tonight sending Matt home. I'm really happy that Allison is still in the mix. She really deserves to be there. I do have to say that though I'm happy for Allison, I don't see her winning over Adam, but that girl will most certainly have a fruitfull long lasting carrier in the music buissness.
Hell ya !!! M*W*J, I couldn't have put it better myself. There is no way Adam was that close to leaving. Do the producers of American Idol really think were that stupid. I also thought it was screwed up making Adam choose the two contestants he fit in with. In my opinion it could have caused animosity towards Adam by the two he didn't pick. I thought it was wrong to do that to him. My hats off to Allison as well, Really talented girl.
Oh I'm so sorry "alison lovers!" but I'm sure that the next week will be her last week, her voice is amazing but it can't be compered with adam's voice
after that week I think it will be hard to decide who will be going home 'cos they all are gooooooooood!
BS by Idol producers for ratings. Give me a break. No Adam was not in the bottom 2 in votes. They wanted to save their pimped precious Allsion (still don;t know why other than she is female) who is unfirt to spit shine Adam's shoes. The show is silly and I cannot believe that anyone really thinks Adam was bottom 2. Maybe the judges should start pimping him instead if they want to maintain any semblance of viewesrship. PUBLICITY STUNT!
I think that although adam is in my toop 2, that it might not have been for publicity. Because he is so popular, then his fans think that he is deffinitely not going home and they dont vote as much (this is also not a bad thing becuaswe next week, all the fans will vote more for him because of the fact that he almost went home, just like right after matt got saved).
Matt deserved that.
Yay for Adam not going home!!!
how can they do that do adam? he has always been like the top. if you look at all those polls and stuff, he is usually has pretty high votes! if these stupid A.I. people are doing this just to make more viewers watched their show then screw them! ALL ADAM FANS MUST VOTE LIKE CRAZY NEXT WEEK TO PROVE THE STUPID AMERICAN IDOL PEOPLE THAT WHAT THEY DID WAS WRONG ;D
Adam is the BEST that AI has ever had. If he doesn't win that proves that AI is rigged.Allison is great and I would for sure buy her music But ADAM is the bomb.Kris should have gone home long ago.Danny is good but I would never buy his music.
What if Adam sucks next week... will you still "vote like crazy" for him.
I think Adam is very talented and should produce a broadway musical. To me however his theatrics and the scream he has to put into EVERY song grows tiresome... If he had to sing a lullaby, he would manage to get that SCREAM in there and wake up the baby :-)
Everytime Adam screams his songs (which is often), that freakish looking tongue comes out, reminding me of those pictures all over the internet of him tongue kissing that guy friend of his. He might land a spot as a woman in a gay cabaret show somewhere, but he's not winning Idol. Get over it. And for all you women who swoon over Adam, he's not swooning over anybody except those who have the same equipment that he has, if you know what I mean...
Go Allison and Danny! Top 2 FTW! :)
Anybody form the Top 4 could get eliminated next week. NEVER say NEVER. Voting Hard is the key to ensure your favorite will win the title at this point.
My votes go to only Adam Lambert. He should be the American Idol Season 8 and a super star!
GET OVER IT PEOPLE... There are people that are just getting tired of Adam and his screaming in every song that he sings. Stop making excuses that it was all just a put on. I'm getting tired of the way he's been singing and he was my favorite.
It was a REAL shocker that Adam was in the bottom two. If just in case Adam gets eliminated before the finals, i'm pretty sure the judges will have the BIGGEST regret that they used their 'power save' to Matt. I will never forgive them. I even heard Jamie Foxx when he guested at Ryan Seacrest's radio show that he thinks Adam is going to win. Gokey is overrated. C'mon, the guy has no star appeal!
Adam Lambert is the most talented singer that has ever graced the American idol stage. The guy can sing anything. Too me what was even more shocking other then the obvious bottom 2 results was the fact that none of the judges really seemed surprised by the results. Paula who is always so emotional didn't even seem phased... Very strange!!! Everyone who loves Adam has to vote vote vote !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Believe me if he had left last night AI would have lost an amazing amount of vewiers. And believe me the producers would never have wanted that to happen !!!!
OH PLEASE!!!!!!! Stop making it sound like Adam is a God there. The reason the judges weren't phased about Adam being in the bottom 2 is because they know that there are other talented people in the competition not just Adam. And no if Adam left there would be millions of people still watching the show because we still like the other constestants.
idol is so rigged. like everybody else is saying that there is no way adam was in the bottom 2. i still say it was probably allison but they put adam there to help get a lot of votes into the finale. i kinda sad that matt went though i was hoping danny would leave because the next taylor hicks. i'm hoping for a adam and kris finale.
Asa i have said before, i would like to believe that it is not rigged. And i dont think adam is a GOD but he is really good and deserves to stay in the competition until the finale!! :)
Idol is obviously rigged. Any true Idol fan or religious watcher this season would have noticed that in virtually every poll, Adam wins by a large margin. Don't believe me? Check Rickey.org, AOL's Idol poll, DialIdol, etc, every poll Adam wins. It just doesn't make sense that he would be in the bottom 2, other than the fact that the producers are trying to plump up the show. Remember, producers will do anything to keep their show at #1, and they were probably afraid people were going to loose interest because of Adam's obvious lead in the competition. Also, remember how iTunes accidently leaked the popularity polls? Revealing that Adam had 6/10 top songs on the list, and that Mad World was actually NUMBER ONE on iTunes at one point? Idol producers aren't stupid, guys... They'll do anything to keep the ratings up, and this was a smart way to do it. Adam Lambert for the win. Gokey can GO home.
I can understand why you all think that this was rigged but if you notice, you are all taking into account that there is some sort of GUARUNTEE that adam gets through every week. If you are an adam fan (as i am myself) and i also think this, you may not feel the need to vote as much becuase he seems guarenteed to get through. Its happened before that this has hapened, so it might just be that... just saying
Anabella, that makes sense as well. I agree with that. And if that is the case, next week Adam fans are going to be voting like CRAZY. So maybe this wasn't such a bad thing. This is kind of like a wake up call for people to actually VOTE. If the show wasn't rigged, then people just assumed they didn't need to vote. C'mon people, VOTE NEXT WEEK!
Ya, people have got to vote for their faves!!!
VOTE FOR ADAM!!! :P
You dummies are sooooooooooooo unbelievable...... :O
God. so now putting a theory out the is dumb? god. you dont see me criticizing you!
Danny and Kris are going to be the top 2 so stop your balling.
You just want a fight. Thats so stupid so im saying nothing to that. Its actually really hard to say who is going to say who is going to be top 2 becuase they are all actually really good unlike previous seasons where it was evident who was going to be top 2 by the time top 4 rolled around but this year its different. It will just be up to america to decide.
As much as I like Allison, her fanbase is not that big. Someone is obviously cheating these results...
HAHAHA! GO ALLISON! That's awesome! I log on and find these results!? Love it!
WTF how did allison suddenly get such a huge influx in votes? i just checked here like a few hours ago and she had the LEAST votes.
Is this poll legit? I was on here like an hour ago and Allison barely had any votes..
looks like some allison and kris fans were using some voting devices... jeez ppl its just a poll
I've noticed that too about the polls how they are cheating to get Allison up on top. Usually they were doing that with Adam all these months but she even beat him on this poll....LOL
yaah not buying this B.S.
OMG! People! now you love Allison! when the last week nobody vote for her here! Please!
Allison at the top in this poll......right...
Adam should be #1 on this, it doesn't really matter though because next week his votes are going to be off the lines with the "wake-up call" last night.
For me, I think Allison is a good singer, but without enough experience, and I don't see myself buying her record. And, Danny sounds the same every week, he's a good singer, but i would NEVER buy his record. Kris can't sing, but he's creative. Adam can sing beautifully and is the most creative Idol has ever had.
This is just how I feel...
I know this is a Kris/Matt post but OMG. Ryan asked Adam to pick the group he belonged in without declaring him safe. Matt said this in his interview:
"Q. US Weekly: Were you surprised at the bottom three?
A. Matt: I was definitely surprised that Adam was down there with me. It was a cruel twist for him to have to pick who he thought was in the BOTTOM THREE. We were giving him a hard time backstage, like, ”Why didn’t you pick us?”
Matt said Adam was not happy with his performance, which he is why thought he was in the B3 !!!!
OK MY COMMENT MADE LITTLE SENSE, lol. Ignore the first part.
lolitrolu
i have to say i am in love with adam.i am THE NUMBER ONE ADAM FAN.i dont care what people say i am.if you dont believe me contact me.people say he wont win but he is going to prove them wrong.he will win
Check out Newsday.com's poll, which has always shown Adam way ahead just like the rickey site's poll. I think Newsday resets the response number (everyday?) and I've seen it up as high as the rickey site's, so doesn't rickey's seems weird?
[Who's your favorite 'American Idol' finalist?
Kris Allen (209 responses) 7.9%
Danny Gokey (249 responses) 9.5%
Allison Iraheta (266 responses) 10.1%
Adam Lambert (1905 responses) 72.5%
* 2629 total responses (Results not scientific)]
Next week is rock week. You know what that means, Adam and Allison are going to own while Kris and Danny won't. I think next week is gonna be tough for Kris/Danny. If Adam gives a memorable performance, then he should be fine, as long as his fans VOTE.
And the votes change again... The poll must be lagging.
Where do you-all think the voters of a particular singer (if they stick with Idol), go after their favorite is kicked off? Where would Anoop's and Lil Rounds's voters go? I don't think they necessarily gravitate to Adam even if he is the best because he doesn't fit the AI middle-of-the-road type of singer. I think, also, there is a huge number of Adam voters from Day 1 and who will dump AI if he doesn't win. These Day 1 voters won't vote for anyone but Adam (including me). But the dispersal of votes as contestants are kicked off may tend to go more to the average types rather than to a spectacular and less mainstream one like Adam. This may be more of a problem than anything else. I might add, too, that those who criticize the "screaming" should listen very carefully to the "Feeling Good" studio version. I just played it for two 15-year-olds and one 16-year-old and they were stunned by the performance. Download time. An amazing talent.
Should we boycott Idol to let the producers know how angry we are about their publicty stunt to tv"shake thigns up" and pretend there is a competion by palcing Adam in bottom 2 where we know he did not belong?
Who would like to join me to BOYCOTT IDOL? OTher AI blogs are suggesting the same. OR we can let them coninue with their vote manipulation....
We can always Tevo to watch Adam's performance sans commercials. I will call to vote for Adam after the performance Tuesday but WILL NOT watch until this BS stops.
Do you think the judges will conintue to pimp Allison this late in the game? After all, they made her safe last night when the actual call vote showed differently.
Is there something weird going on with this poll? 13,300 votes seems like a lot, and it's weird that it's suddenly so even between the contestants. Hmm.
I too am an Adam fan, and in response to Curtis, we all know what team he's on, but we don't care! The man knows how to wear a suit and he's got the prettiest smile I've ever seen. Match that with his impeccable vocals, and I'll watch him for hours.
As for rock week, go Adam, and go Adam voters!
Do you think the fact that Danny is chubby and not very hansome and Allsion is chubby and not at all pretty will play a part in the voting/idol potential? Kris and Adam are obviously the good looking ones. Do they have an advantage becasue they are not unattractive? If so, I would think this is unfair. Adam is still my favorite based on his singing, song choice and stellar performances. But, it irks me that in the UK you can have a Susan Boyle and it does not matter, but here being unattractive like Allsion or Danny might hurt you in the long run. I guess at this stage it has not hurt Danny on Idol, but there are not many popular young, chunky, plain singers/soloists these days.
GS,
Adam will not suck. It is not possible. Even if he has an "off night" it will be profoundly better than Danny or Allison's best night.
Keep dreamin'
The poll is crap! Don't pay attention to it.
haha the poll is giving me negative tallies now. this poll is so effed up
Oh Oh Rickey, somebody haxed you poll.
You know what ALISON Is my favorite americon idol star. Any one say any thing your just rediculus. The oly reason i like her is because shes an awesome singer. She is gonna win this i know she is. She sang , Papa's a rolling stone and other great song.G2G My parents SED TOO. I HATE GOING TO BED.
Thank you for keeping Allison in! Please continue to vote!
SAVE THE ROCKER, SAVE THE WORLD, FIGHT THE POWER, KEEP THE GIRL!
Save the Rocker Chick who more than just a rocker!
<3
????????????????????Rickey what happened to your poll. Are you saying that people cheated on the poll? How silly is that?
Check your counter/graphical display of the votes. Adam shows hardly any votes on the % bar although he's received more votes than Kris.
Also, 499 + 2071 + 396 + 3289 is not equal the total votes of 5257 (as displayed as of 9:53 PM PST). If this is how they count the idol votes, too, no wonder Adam was in bottom 2 ;-).
"Also, 499 + 2071 + 396 + 3289 is not equal the total votes of 5257 (as displayed as of 9:53 PM PST). If this is how they count the idol votes, too, no wonder Adam was in bottom 2 ;-)."
No, the math works out. Adams number is positive so you subtract it from the total.
Yep, I noticed that - but how do you give somebody a negative vote? :-)
I don't believe Adam was in the bottom three either. I was just wondering why they chose him to humiliate. This stunt was pulled on David Archuleta but he had to choose between three people on each side as to which group he wanted to join. He joined neither and of course was placed in the safe group. Adam was the third of the bottom three no matter what. Why humiliate him like that. Danny Gokey mr. borefest looked so phoney shocked for Adam and it was like what kind of stunt was this anyway.
Your poll sux... why I am voting on Adam then your results go to danny geekey? I went back again and Adam Lambert's name is on top, then when I came back it goes to the 2nd line... So your poll is stealing Adam's vote. You know that Danny Geekey never get that many votes in the poll. I've been following all the poll all over the internet and Danny's percentage is very low...not even 20%.
You need to fix your poll... and hardly any vote for Adam.. ..Yeah right.@@@@

Allison = negative 3276 votes
Gokey = negative 2062 votes
Kris = negative 367 votes
Adam = 578 votes (in the black!)
So are we to assume from this that Adam has overtaken
whatever 1000 negative votes and has entered the plus side?
And that Kris is just a 367 votes away from bein in the black, too?
What kind of crackity crack crack poll is this?
Go Allison Iraheta

Question to everyone.. Why does Adam scream in every song? He is screaming with no singing melody... Just wondering??
For every single person out there who was as shocked as I was that Adam was in the bottom two.... For every single person out there who think it was a stunt for ratings, or whatever... I have two words for you: Chris Daughtry. Whether it was a stunt or Adam fans taking it for granted that plenty of other people would vote for him, at least he is still in the running and we get to enjoy Adam performing on Rock & Roll week. What better week to truly blow people away. One other thing we can do is be VERY PISSED-OFF and make sure that this kind of scare does not happen again. DO NOT RELY ON OTHERS TO VOTE FOR YOU. CALL OR TEXT. REPEATEDLY. (Especially the texting since it's cheaper) Adam is one of the most talented Idol contestants ever and needs our support now more than ever.
WHAT THE F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADAM BOTTOM TWO?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??!?!?!?!?!!?!? SOME SERIOUS FIXING GOING DOWN AT AMERICAN IDOL. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! apparently all the phone lines were chugged up with adam, so fuck them!
uh! and i hate alison! she is a good singer, i'll give her that, but she is the most arrogent smug little piggy teen i've ever seen ugh!
Rickey, what the hell happened to your poll?!?! Kris with negative votes?! Something is glitchy, right??? It has to be. Adam's always on top, with Kris second. Was it overtaken by Allison and Douchey tards? Or is everything ass backwards??
I feel kinda bad for Adam, since a lot of people are putting so much pressure on him: the fans, the media, people online... I like to think that AI may not be rigged, and Allison really deserves to be top2. But Danny Gokey?! Why is he still there? (I know, I know, he has the solid dedicated fanbase... of people who are never online...)
And Adam did not deserve to be in bottom 2. If anyone's to blame, it's his fans who got complacent and did not vote as hard for him as they probably would have like when Simon did not like Adam's country week performance (Ring of Fire).
Anyway, here's to hoping for an Adam/Allison final two. Put the GO in Gokey!
If adam will be out, i think danny has no chance of winning after all. WHY? because large number of adam's fans do not believe in danny's talent. They will definite vote for allison.
there's a big difference between a vocalist and an outstanding and creative performer (like adam).
Allison is the most talented 16 or 17 yr old to ever grace the Idol stage.Definitely in Adam's realm talent-wise, just not as theatrical. She's certainly more talented than Jordan Sparks whose youth helped her outpoll a MUCH more talented Melinda Doolittle a couple of years ago.
This poll is not working correctly! Please check it Rickey
Allison NEGATIVE???
Allison NEGATIVE???
OH COMMON THIS IS REALY STUPID I MEAN WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE CANT YOU SEE IT NOBODY TOPS ADAM DO YOU REALIZE THAT WE ALMOST LOST AN AMAZING STAR GOD HOW COULD ADAM'S FANS DO THAT TO HIM AH AND LOOK AT DANY GOD I HATE HIM SO MUCH HE IS SO FAKE AND HE HATES ADAM SO MUCH I JUST DONT GET WHY PEOPLE ARE KEEPING HIM ON IDOL HE'S NORMAL BUT ADAM IS YOUR REAL TALENT SO VOTE FOR HIM ITS THE RIGHT THING ABVIOUSLY
Matt Giraud revealed in his exit interview, US Weekly and on Seacrest's radio show that Adam was unhappy with his performance on Tuesday. He knew he was in the B2 and thought he would be voted off. When Ryan asked Adam to pick the group he felt he belonged in that night without declaring him safe, he picked Allison and Danny. "I was definitely surprised that Adam was down there with me but he didn't like his own performance. We were both goofing off from each other waiting for Ryan to call our name out to try and make it all less serious, y'know? That's what we do. It was a cruel twist for him to have to pick who he thought was in the bottom 3. Me and Kris were giving him a hard time backstage, like, "Why didn't you pick US!! Because we were almost certain WE were the Bottom 3. We love Adam so that was really uncomfortable. But you know Adam, he'll be ok, he'll bounce back."
RE: Adamslove. I don't think Danny hates Adam lol? All the Idols are extremely close (just read the backstage recap on EW) but yeah Danny's a bit socially awkward, smug and guarded compared to the others. But he did admit in an interview he felt Adam was his biggest competition.
I don't get this poll..what's up with the negative votes. it says the total is -4800 and something..and the votes add up to over 5000 almost six thousand..with Adam being the least fave or the only one with votes..Or maybe Rickey is just mocking how Idol must have done their votes this week..There is no way Adam could have consistently been on top only to be the least favorite this week..no way, feeling good was spectacular!!.. check yourv ote counter rickey..somethings wierd about the numbers.
Something is seriously wrong with this poll. Why is Adam and Kris in the negative?

Yeah, this poll is not working correctly.
Love how in denial ALL Glambert fans were
K-Sizzle FTW!
RICKEY!! Theres something wrong with the poll!!
Dude, your poll is not working right. How can somebody be in the negatives?? Maybe you should read the book "Statistics for Dummies" first.
Adam is only, who have + votes, others have - votes :)
The people that votes in the poll, likes Adam and so the rest don't recieve much votes. But it doesn't mean anything because doesn't match with idol results.
At this point in the competition the winner only depends of people votes, forget about the performances. I'm not Adam's fan...he always shout but I think his performances are good, but the last one it was not better than any previously performance so I understand why he was on the bottom 3....I repeat at this point nobody is safe based on each performance...is the people who has the power!!!!
Please America vote for Adam. He should win
Something has been wrong with Rickey's for a few days now. Haven't anyone been having problems with it hanging up and running slow, cause I'am. Even as I 'm typing this it takes a while for me to type it in cause it is soooo slow.
Now why are you guys picking on Danny so much and calling him names? It's so not true that he doesn't like Adam and all of them are best buds. Just because he hasn't been in the bottom 3 and everyone else has been doesn't mean that he's a mean bad person. Stop picking on him cause he does have a lot of fans and we like the way he sings. Those of you who are trashing him right now with name calling are just jealous because he wasn't in the bottom3. This is a singing competition and there is no need to bad mouth them.
Forgot to mention but I emailed Rickey twice about what's going on on this site and haven't got an answer back for several days now.
my favorite is adam lambert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i totallly can't believe that he got put in the bottom 3 last week :( come on people we all know that adam is the best.... we love you adam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooo go adam lambert.......
It was a joke that Adam was in the bottom two but it was real.
There is no conspiracy. It's sad. It would have been nice for him to win this without being in the bottom two but it is not the end of the world. Ruben and Fantasia were both in that position. Sometimes it is the kick in the proverbials that the fans of the leading contestant need.
It is the next few weeks that are important. If people believe that it was a conspiracy or staged and that he wasn't really in the bottom two but perhaps third or not even third, whatever, it will have a negative effect and it will not inspire his fans to do what they have to do and change their voting ways. They will continue to think that they don't have to vote for him or that they don’t have to vote for him that much or that it is OK to split their votes with other contestants because others will be giving all their votes to Adam and ………………. anyway …………….. it was all staged. It wasn't and the only way to avoid it happening again is to vote for Adam and only Adam as if your life depended on it. He is not safe without his supporters' votes.
What does this poll mean? Minus votes? Plus votes?
Sucks that this poll is messed up :(
There is really no point in hacking a poll becuase it doesnt change the results of the show so i dont see why anyone would do that. It was obviously messed up becuase yesterday allison was at like 80%.
Allison looked hotter than usual last week
James:
Allison had a total idol makeover. Her hair looked better. I think they thought she was too "rough neck" looking for the show or something.
Her voice also sounded totally great but yeah, love the makeover.
VOTE FOR DANNY GOKEY!!!!
This a completely skewed poll.... there is no way Allison has jumped so far up the polls and Adam has dropped so much. It just doesn't happen in the real world.
Guess what Chris, woman DO NOT CARE that Adam is gay.
Sorry, I meant to type Curtis
fix please - poll broken!!
Dude, this is totally messed
The poll is definitely broken, but like I said in another posting, Adam has unintentionally slipped into the "Too Predictable" category, which of course is owned by Danny Gokey. Adam needs a game changer to remodel himself. The whole axelrose version of every song he does routine is old hat. his ballads are awesome, but I think people are looking for a third, sort of middle of the road Adam. My guess is that we're not going to see it this week -- "rock week." He'll probably be safe this week tho, even if he does the axelrose thing again. I'm anxious to see Kris and Allison more than anyone else.
Without any doubt Adam is a great singer...I wish him the best...
Allison totally sings from the heart and with a voice like she has, i pray she wins this year...Great singer and performer...
What a hell is going on man???????
Fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
America got it EXACTLY right. Adam should go home NEXT WEEK. He won't... but he SHOULD. He doesn't sing... he shrills, like a little girl. He doesn't 're-invent' himself every week, he just finds a new way to look like a drag queen playing dress up. I seriously don't care how flaming gay he is... and it's QUITE a bonfire... the man has ZERO talent as far as vocals go and he is simply being 'marketed' by the producers of the show, because of his plastic looking face and girly appeal. As usual, it's a popularity contest on Idol.. and not a talent contest. If it WERE, Danny Gokey would be the winner.
Adam or Allison is going to win, most likely. Those are the only two that you see people really obsessing over. Danny and Kris better pump it up for the competition.
And even though Adam was in the bottom two last week, it is just a kick in the butt to his "fans" to vote for him more. He really is theatrical, but I think it makes it more fun to watch. Its no fun watching somebody that just stands there and sings, they gotta do something with their voice to make it more interesting and move around. When he did "Born to Be Wild" it was so fun to watch. If I was actually in America, I would vote for him. Who cares if he is gay? He's freaking awesome
Why do people always start hating on the stars? All of the A.I. finalists are AMAZING singers, no doubt. They just all have different voices that appeal to different people. Adam- kind of rocky, but he still has a soft side, along with is everlasting voice pumps at the ends of his songs. Allison- amazing vocal range, kind of raspy. Danny- slightly raspy as well, but he's got a nice deep sounding voice.:D Kris - a slight country style mixed with rock. I think he is very enjoyable to listen to.
It just depends of your fav genre of music. So stop being H8ers
adam is far the best singer ever on this show. people who say they are getting tiered the way he is singing, are stupid. a good singer does not change his way of singing every week. adam is the best.
if does not win the show, no problem, because he is fantastic. it is not about winning, it is about beeng the best.
I love talented kids and I have enjoyed all of them in the top 4 of AI. They have grown tremendously over the weeks of these episodes. It must be frightening in some ways! I have great empathy for Allison because of her age and I think she is a tremendous force to have this kind of courage! However, in my opinion, as a former professional vocalist, perfomer, and now, teacher, I can truthfully say that I could find quite a few young artists in my own hometown who could compare to 3 of the 4 singers left on AI. BUT, an Adam Lambert rarely comes along. His musicality ranks in the highest of artistic levels. Not only is he a rare type of vocalist, he is a chameleon as a performer!
I think Simon used the word theatrical first and that word has been used like it doesn't belong in the music industry! I am stunned by that! Are not music videos REALLY theatrical? Can't you just see how crazy and fun Adam's will be? When he came down those steps, lit up and strutting in the white suit, that was, for this baby boomer, every bit of what the Rat Pack was about. He NAILED it! That wasn't Broadway, Randy! That was Vegas! And the Rat Pack OWNED Vegas! I have seen that exact entrance from the likes of those guys! And boy did they strut! Sleaze?... they invented the word! It kills me that the judges aren't commenting on Adam's intelligence in his choices and WHY they are so specific. Young people might actually learn something, because I guarentee that few veiwers younger than 50 understood what Adam was doing with the Rat Pack genre! I just think he is in a league truly of his own in the whole group! I find it interesting that Paula gets criticized so much, but she seems to be the only one who, as she says, "gets it". Every mentor they bring on the show stands in awe! They "get it"!
It is obvious that Adam incites the band each week! Those musicians are outrageous and they seem to love playing Adam's arrangements (In which I am sure they have much creative imput). They finally get to have a great time and shine, too! I think the person or persons who help Adam with the vocal arrangements each week have to have a blast as well. Now can't we all see Adam in concert and instrumentalists loving playing for him? Aren't concerts really theatrical with tremendous spectacle? Good grief! Why does the word not seem to be appropriate vocabulary for music entertainers? Can somebody explain that to me? I don't want to pay money to watch someone stand there and just sing with no theatrical elements to give me what I pay my money to see. And we know how much money concerts cost!
As for Adam in movies? All I have to say is...Hugh Jackman! And I have images of Adam playing the Bowie role in Labryinth, the sequel!
Oh, this is fun!
I just hope America is able to recognize and honor the true talent we have right in front of us. We seem to break ourselves down when we want to vote for the underdog. It isn't real and it doesn't do anything but cheat the underdog when reality sets in. I love seeing so many people up in arms over what happened on this last elimination show. I think we all know the producers were jerking our chains and it is great that everyone is alerted to give the producers what they want... thousands more watching and viewers voting a hell of lot more! Let's give em what they want! And let's pay attention to how many votes they announce were called in on the next elimination evening. I think they said 47 million called in this last time. Is that right? I bet it is many more than what they have announced in earlier episodes, even with less contestants!
Break a leg, Adam, and rock us out of the house on Tuesday! I absolutely can't wait! I wish the other 3 well, too. They deserve lots of kudos, too! But...Adam, take us to paradise, sweetie! Or is it, Stairway to Heaven! Guess you already did that the other night, huh? Thanks, Ricky, for letting me purge! I almost made it to 4000 words!
Trish Clark, I must agree with you in what you wrote. In addition I know that
Adam Lambert in the bottom 2 was a set up by the producers to get more viewers to watch the show. There was not 47 million called in because a lot of people vote more than once which they should only do. Just think of the same person calling in a few hundred times to vote. I don't think that is right. I have been involved with the concert touring and theatrical industry for over 50 years and I know what goes on to boost sales with marketing schemes. This truly was a marketing scheme. Ryan Seacrest only reads what is given to him on the card from the producers. He never knows the true voting count for each singer which I feel should be told on the show. Without a doubt Adam is the most consistent performer and singer on AI with his vocal range being perfect each week. He is also the most original and creative of all of the other singers. The other singers are quite good as well but do not come close to Adam. It's just the simple truth!
This is the first year I truly have watched this show and it is because of Adam Lambert showmanship with his creativity along with originality that I look forward to each week. I would highly suggest for everyone, that it would be good to see more of Adam's talent on YouTube for yourself to see what a truly gifted talent this person has. I found it to be quite amazing the talent range and diversity he has. Trust me when I say, that you can take this to the bank and earn interest on this one. One thing I hate is when there is lying going on and this is why I could not hold back from speaking what is the truth about what happened with AI last show with Adam at the bottom 2. It was simple a marketing scheme.
AI knows that the public is not stupid. They also know that this marketing scheme would not hurt them but only boost up there viewing audience for the up coming week along with getting more advertising dollars from those companies that pay to have their advertising shown on the AI time slot.
The bottom line is about business and without advertisers there is no AI show, which would then be canceled.
So is it right what they did? No! But it's all about money and the corporate business enterprise to stay alive on TV.
Adam is fantastic! He does a great job all of the time. Kris is a sweetheart. Danny---NO. The girl, Allison, should have gone home long ago. And what the heck is wrong with this poll anyway?
Grimoire13...your comment makes me cringe...that's all I'm going to say
Grimoire13 = epic fail
All the danny fans are in denial that Adam rocks and is going to win!!!
Completely agree with Grimoire13, it is a popularity contest on Idol... and not a talent contest. If it WERE, Danny Gokey would be the winner... Spot on!
I don't see Adam singing something different each week other than screaming all out and it is a singing competition...
Vote for Danny!
" ... " and 'Lauren'... "cringe" and 'epic fail' all you want. I'm entitled to my opinion, the same as anyone else. And say what you want, but in this world, if a FEMALE singer sounded like a MAN when she sings, not many people would enjoy it and she probably wouldn't get very far. But Adam Lambert sounds almost identically like a fussy little female when he sings, and it's equally disgusting. If it weren't for his upper register, he'd be completely lost. If it weren't for his inherent NEED to sing like he's been neutered and SCREAM every chance he gets, he'd have nothing to do each week. The fact is, he might as well be Fantasia.
Danny Gokey sings like a MAN, with true depth, feeling, emotion and heart. And amazingly enough, he does it ALL while sounding like his body produces adequate testosterone, instead of an overload of estrogen. All that, and I have yet to hear him scream like a little bitch.
And thank you, Esprit... you have excellent taste... : )
Alright, I see Adam isn't your taste, and that's fine. I agree Danny is a great singer, but he's too generic for my taste, and I hope you can respect that. PERSONALLY, I just find Adam more exciting and versatile...and I especially love his studio recordings for mad world and feeling good. (By the way, he did not scream at all in Mad World or Tracks of My Tears)...
I'm just stating my opinion, I don't want anyone to take offense, sorry if I caused that before.
HAPPY ADAM'S LEADING BUT WHERE ARE ALLISON'S VOTES?? EVERYONE I KNOW WANTS HER IN THE FINAL 3 - ONLINE AND OFFLINE. :/
Grimoire13. PLEASE LOOK UP 'QUIET DESPERATION' by Adam Lambert where he's singing only in his lower register. Oh and you sound like a complete homophobe. That is all.
Adam lambert is no doubt the best. he's unhuman. how he has the big of a range. no one comes close to him he's in a totally different league than everybody else on the show. go adam!
Who is my favorite one? Hard decision since I don’t really enjoyed this season like I did last year. First of all, I must admit I was not an Adam fan since the beginning, but when he was in bottom 2 (where I think he really was) I decided to give him a chance, so I downloaded all Adam’s songs, Kris’s and Allison’s and Anoop’s (his last song). I didn’t feel downloading anybody else’s songs because I didn’t feel that connection, I guess. So if you realize that Anoop is no longer in the competition I must say I have my own top 3. Now, choosing one of them to define who is my favorite, I decided to listen to their music the whole weekend, in the morning, lunch time (knowing that my parents are used to listen to all kinds of music styles while eating), at night in my own space and at work on Monday, I agree that Mad World and Play that Funky Music, Tracks of my tears were terrific performances (recommended for every occasion), but Ring of Fire I found it spooky in all the occasions I could imagine, like a horror film soundtrack, the rest of the songs didn’t help my digestion, but help me to get crazy in my bedroom and at work, not recommended when you are still yawning. So I thought that Adam had an 8 in my personal countdown. Kris was next; his voice was pretty cool and his music very listenable in all occasions, so he gets a 9. And finally Allison who has a cool voice, and she got an 8. So I decided that Kris was my favorite, considering that I am a rock fan but a music lover above all. But everything changes and you don’t know, maybe I’ll change my mind after this night performances...
Adam is perfection. Gokey was horrid! I didn't realize that he could not hit notes. The end of "Dream On' will give me nightmares for days to come!
shrill.......
Trish Clark i agree with you. adam is the most talented person that american idol has ever had. he is the cream of the crop. he deserves to win the title. i was really fascinated with adam's performances every week. He is a true genius. this is the first that i really like a talent like that of adam. he is truly amazing and lovable. so AMERICA VOTE FOR ADAM, A TRUE ARTIST, A TOTAL PERFORMER!!!! a big fan from philippines.
OMG> Adam is perfection! What an incredible performance (as always). He literally makes me go into a frenzy. Unbelievable. Absolutely, undeniably NO ONE comes even close to his ball park. WHAT AN IDOL! Phenom
PLS VOTE FOR ADAM!!!!!
Geez.. Danny blew ONE note... ONE.. and that was the infamous Steven Tyler scream at the end of 'Dream On'... even Slash wasn't sure he would be able to hit it... and no... I didn't like it. But it's the FIRST time (and a very short one at that) that Danny didn't hit a truly important note quite well. That's a LOT of drama, Tabby... wow.... and "FAIL"... you would be dead wrong on your weird assessment of my thoughts on homosexuals. His sexual preference has absolutely nothing to do with how I feel about Adam. None at all. He's just a GUY that sings like a GIRL.. and I like GUYS to sing like MEN. What he does with other men doesn't matter to me in the least. At some point you are all going to have to face the ugly truth... ADAM is being 'MARKETED', because of the way he 'LOOKS".. not the way he 'SINGS'.... trust me.. he probably won't get far after this... neither did Ruben Studdard... (who was found just the other day in a two-bit theatre, choking on the lyrics to a song in a really crappy rendition of a musical called 'Ain't Misbehavin') He's a JOKE!!
Go Adam!
go girls
I was about to cry when I saw adam in the bottom 3! vote for him on the link www.tv.com/americanidol/.. please next week I have lot of exams and if adam do home I won't be able to study,to eat, to sleep. I think All Adam's fans feel the same way..GOOOO ADAAAM WEE LOOVE YOUUU
danny haters suck!!..dude..
the rock thing for me made by adam isnt that good....
he just scream all the way throughout the song..
hi dm:
that doesn't called "screaming" it is an "art", adam is my favorate but danny got a good voice too, you have to respect everyone's talent
What Adam and Allison did was unforgettable. they were perfect compliments for each other. As far as danny and kris go, they had a decent duet, and in my opinion kris solo was better then danny's.god i cant stop replaying that horrid scream. Go adam! :)
ummm dm. just because you say adam screams (which is totally wrong ive never heard him scream) listen to danny. i want danny to be runner up. but that last note he sung on the show just got him voted off the show. everyone sucks compared to adam. hes incredible with song choice and his range and his voice. adam has had the show won since the week 2 of hollywood after he auditions. when they did groups. when he did that high note. and then group 2 of the top 36 he did "satisfaction" which was insane. and since the top 13 every song hes done was insane. by the way people say that every song hes done is awesome except for the ring of fire. which i thought was genius because he wasn't gonna do a song that he would of sucked on. by the way in ring of fire his vocals were awesome. "satisfaction", "born to be wild", and "whole lotta love" were my favorite songs. he does good on slow songs but way more incredible on rock songs cause that is when he goes wild. Adam's gonna win. dm adam just screams because he knows that he already won.
oh my god thats what i'm talking about people this the right poll not last week
i mean adam showd what anamazing star he is as he always dose duh
but most importantly he made geakey looks leke a jackass yeah baby thank god for that keep voting please make adam our idol
OMG!!! I CANT BELIEVE ADAM WAS THAT CLOSE TO GOING HOME! IDT HE WAZ REALLY IN THE BOTTOM 2. IT WAS PROBABLY JUST TO MAKE PEOPLE WORRIED! I WAS SHAKING THE WHOLE SHOW JUST PRAYING HE WOULDN'T GO HOME! HE WAS GREAT LAST NIGHT! I LOVED SLOW RIDE WITH ALLISON, BUT I REALLY HOPE SHE GOES HOME! IDL HER AND HER VOICE DOESN'T EVEN COMPARE TO ADAMS!!! IF ADAM DOESN'T WIN THEN THE WHOLE SHOW IS FIXED! ADAM IS ABSOULTLY DROP DEAD SEXI AND HIS VOICE IS SOOOOO AMAZING!! GO ADAM!! <3
'DM' a BIG thumbs up for you. Adam screams ALL THE TIME, sounds like sh*t and gets away with it. Danny screams ONCE.. and all the ADAMETTES are looking for Danny's blood. Unbelievable. I guess if Danny started wearing eyeliner and mascara, sucked face with a few random men while dressed like a hooker and ruined the arrangements of multiple classic hits, he too could be 'loved' by a bunch of tone-deaf groupies.
ALRITE LSTEN UP, ALLISON IS AN AMAZING SINGER AND GUESS WHAT SHE JUST TURNED 16. ALSO ADAM DOES THE SAME STUFF EVERY WEEK, ITS GETTING A LITTLE BOARING. KRIS ALLEN, WELL HE PUTS ME TO SLEEP WHEN HE SINGS, AND LISTENING TO DANNY MAKES ME WANT TO BARF. ALLSION IS TRULY AN AMERICAN IDOL AND EVEN IF SHE DOES GET VOTED OFF, SHE WILL STILL MAKE A RECORD DEAL.
Danny Gokey has no star presence...he reminds me of my sixth grade science teacher...yuck...what a dork...vote for Allison! she rocks! girl power!
Well the poll is more normal now. And i have to0 say, danny g sucked last night. I think hes going home, and he really deserves it after that performance : (
I think that Danny gokey rocks, sure rock wasn't his best performence he is still awsome I knew from the begging that he would make it far. I think that Chris Allen will leave tonight from the top 4 because even though he is very talented he doesn't really stand out as much as Danny, Allison and Adam
All of you's are wrong about Danny going home tonight. He is so much better then Allison and the right person went home. Goooooooooooo Gokeyyyyyyyyy! <3 <3<3<3<3
And Anabelle.... But you are such a liar saying that you are a Gokey fan when you never were. Don't think I want to talk to you anymore since you like to lie so much.
Danny i can't possibly imagine him still being here, he's horrific no talent in my opinion but it seems like alote of weirdos like him but hey to each their own!
