Who is voting for Michael Sarver? I mean, SERIOUSLY?

I can see Allison being successful if she goes the tween route. She's too young to be taken seriously as a rocker chick. She should go for tween rock tho.

Matt... i dunno.... maybe...

I voted for Meghan tho. I think she's definitely the prettiest and actually has a really interesting voice . She could rock if she writes some good songs. Depends on her writing skills- much like Kris actually.

Matt G for sure. Has a great soulful voice. His piano skills are spot on, especially teaching himself. You can definitely see his love for music. Good luck to you Matt !!! Much love and kisses

ANOOP definitely!!! ... he has the smoothest voice i have ever heard... pure and flawless when singing live...

Danny, Anoop and Michael Sarver (if he goes strictly C&W)

Tyler

Matt G does not have a chance. All you need to do is look at the popularity of the contestants: Danny and Allison came in 3 and 4, clearly they have more fans. I think Anoop was too trashed by the jduges--he will probable have a music career based on his pitch-perfect voice (though he needs ot work of stage presense). Matt G. had every advantage--exptreme judge pimping, Judge's save and he still couldn't make it work. He was a also a wild card....C'mon!! The truth is, Matt is not that popular and really not that unique or attractive. I say he is a long shot to make it. His chances are about as good as Michael Sarver's SERIOUSLY!

Danny will probably go into christian rock where he could have a good career, michael sarver could do ok in country if he got a contract, lil rounds has no future, matt has no chance because hes a second rate kris, i can't see allison being mainstrem so it could be hard for her, and i can only see megan joy being alounge singer.

Nie
2009-06-08 12:53:18 ET

My vote goes to Danny, though I'm not really a fan. For me it has more to do with his personality and style on stage than talent (which most non-finalists have). When he comes out and sings, you'd naturally pay attention. Honestly, I don't see how Sarver can even get a contract.

Agree with the Almighty and with Tyler. Matt is gone . We won't see him in the record store. He may even have less charisma than Kris. I also agree with the Almighty's astute analysis re: all of the contestants, with one teeny exception, I think Lil may have a strong career--possibly as a back-up singer or part of a trio , but not as a solo artist. She has a strong voice. Danny will be popular with Christian Rock only and Anoop may be the big surprise. That kid can sing. Ignore his frat boy persona and clumsiness on the stage for a moment. His voice is pure.

Sherry
2009-06-08 16:35:38 ET

Matt was technically eliminated three times...that's just crazy. Lol, I love him, and he has one of the most beautiful recording voices I have ever heard. However, even though his live voice is also strong, I definitely agree with those who say that he will probably not have a successful mainstream career. He has a beautiful voice, but there is nothing really super unique about him, so I don't foresee him catching the interest of the public on a large scale.

Danny will have a moderately successful career as a Christian artist. He will sell enough to make a really good living, but it's not like he's going to become a worldwide superstar.

The safest bet is Allison. The girl has an amazing voice, and she is so young. Except she doesn't really have that strong of a fanbase...she got through every week because of consistently strong performances, unlike other contestants who were able to hold on for a while because of their fans, despite bad performances.

ANOOP! I really hope he gets a record deal...his voice is sooo smooth and powerful. He just got majorly screwed this season by how he was treated by the judges and producers. He's the one I want to succeed the most.

I don't think any of the others really have a chance. Maybe Megan...she has the potential, but I don't think she is the type to really work hard to pursue something.

KingH
2009-06-08 17:23:51 ET

It is unusual for me to find like-minded AI fans...but I've found them here! I also think Anoop-Dog has the most potential, followed by Allison. I love Danny's voice, but I can't see him going mainstream. His song choices kinda sucked. I voted for him twice anyway, lol! People don't seem to like Danny's personality. I think he came off as a little too competitve and cutting to some fans....unlikeable. Allison needs to refine her voice, but I think she had some good exposure and there will be a lot of interest. She has got the raw vocal talent for rock. But, my money is on Anoop. Matt is not even on my radar. He had too many chances, besides we already have Kris. I think Matt is done and I'd be very surprised if he even comes close to making it. His voice is generically good, not great....zero charisma. I too think Lil has a shot at something, though probably not mega-stardom. Scott, Michael, Matt and Megan...nice knowing ya!! Bye bye!

BEST CHANCE AT CAREER:

Danny, Anoop, Alison

WORST CHANCE AT CAREER:

Scott, Matt, Micheal

The only one that will be singed major is Allison (Jive).

Matt may have some changes to find an Indy label.

For the rest if you did not sell on iTunes the chances to be signed major are close to none! It cost a fortune to make a CD and only 1 out of 10 signed people sell enough to cover the costs of a recording!

I would really like to know where all this "strong judge pimping" was for Matt? Matt rarely got the credit when he deserved it, much less when he didn't. Kris is no Matt and never in a million years would he be able to hit the notes that Matt does.

Matt, Allison, Danny and Anoop all have a good chance at a great career and I think Matt is going to be a surprise to many.

Gilda, the good witch
2009-06-08 22:07:06 ET

Matt was not pimped? Hmmmmm....let's see...

Matt was not voted for the top 13--he was picked by the judges as a wild card.
Matt was the "judges save" (inexplicably). Remember the obnoxious spectacle of Kara leaning over Simon, yelling at him and urging him to save mediocre Matt? Yuk! Wish I could forget it!
He would perform cheesy renditions and have Paula and Kara (especially Kara) exagerate how strong it was and shower him with stupid accolades for a medicore performance. Sometimes Randy would pipe in for good measure.

SOOOOOOO overated. He should have gone before Anoop and Lil--NO QUESTION!! WAIT!! HE did get voted off before them---damn judges save.

I agree that he is no worse than Kris. That I'll give you.

Anelise,

Don't hold your breath. Yes, she is quirky, but record companies require TALENT before signing someone.

Of the non finalists--- absolutely Allison. She had many fans and a lot of support from people int he industry who said that she is the best vocalist. her problem was that she competed with Adam on the same votes.
I can see her and Adam have a long term successful career with world wide appeal. Kris-- it's hard to know-- popular in america but not in the world. all depends on the music he writes.

ck
2009-06-09 02:07:37 ET

I think Allison is fantastic... but will she be successful as a chick rocker? Ladies have a tougher time in rock than the guys do. I thought Chris Daughtry was very successful until I checked out past non-idol winners and their earnings. Hard to believe, but Kelly Pickler made more $$$ than Daughtry, David C. and David A. for 2008. The BIG money is in Country. Whoever goes Country will make the money.... http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/05/forbes-lists-2008-earnings-for-former-american-idol-contestants/

2009-06-09 02:46:08 ET

I think Anoop, Allison, and Danny are the only ones besides Adam who will be around in another year. Anoop must do a mix of pop with his R&B on his first record. Danny should mix gospel with his rock music. Matt is ok, but the others are horrible, especially Megan. Sorry, but it's unfair that others were bumped to make room for her. Worst "talent" in AI history!

Brooke
2009-06-09 03:01:29 ET

The highest potential after Adam is ANOOOOOP! This guy has a great voice but for some stupid reason was slammed by the judges. That may actually pay off for him in the long-run. Allison was also very good, as well as Danny. Matt was pretty good as well. I wish that I could say the same for Lil, Michael and Scott. I loved their personalities but not so much their singing voices. As for Megan, she should have never showed up to the auditions. It was a fluke she made it as far as she did. I feel mean, but it's what most of us are thinking. Sorry Megan :<

KingH
2009-06-09 15:13:22 ET

Personally, I don't see Matt making it big. He seems kind of blah to me. Anoop has potential-- as does Danny in a specified genre. Of the non-finalists, Danny Anoop and Allison have the strongest vocals, so I have to think that they will make it in some format. Anoop and Danny need to hone their stage presence. Lil is sorely under rated in this poll. I don't think this reflects her vocal talents. She has good potential. I really can't see Matt going anywhere in the music industry.

Hi JC and ck. Good to see you!

2009-06-09 22:23:39 ET

Anoop & Allison. People probably thought Anoop was cool & all because of his name, & he sings good, too. Allison, well you gotta think, shes 17 & she was in the top 4 on American Idol!! She has a big career ahead of her. I just hope & pray that Adam goes really far. Because he's AMAZING :)

2009-06-09 22:34:03 ET

JORGE- He MAY be popular & all around his hometown, but i think it's over for him. JASMINE-Well, she's only 16/17 so you know she COULD have a good career. ALEXIS- I actually think she could be successful, i mean she was amazing, it should've been down to her & Adam or Allison & Adam. MICHAEL- I don't think he will have a successful career at all. Maybe in country music, but I just don't see him having a "world wide" career or even one in the united states. MEGAN-She is HORRIBLE. I don't think she will even have a career. SCOTT-Hmm, he MAY. LIL-Ehhh, i dont think she will be very successful with 3 kids & all. ANOOP-YES! He will have a great career! MATT-Ehh, i dont think so. ALLISON-She will be MOST successful. Her voice is amazing & even Adam likes her! :) DANNY-I hope he doesnt have a careeer! How did he have more votes than Anoop?! He must be on there voting for himself, hahahahaha. ADAM-OF FREAKING COURSE HE WILL HAVE AN AMAZING CAREEER! Gosh, he's GREAT! I love love love him! :) KRIS-I dont like Kris, so i could care less! hahaha.

Hey Gilda, the bad *itch,

The wild card was used for the judges picks, not America's. They wanted it that way so that they could have a say in who was there. There was no special treatment or pimpage there.

Simon wanted to use the save on Matt because he didn't want the save to go unused. He stated that he figured it would be either Lil or Anoop going the next week and he wasn't going to save either one. He also made a point of telling Matt that he had no chance of winning. There was no pimpage there.

The only pimping Matt got was the show making people against with him, not his talent. He got the short stick, even though you want to proclaim differently. Matt was used and abused... oh, and you SUCK!

ck- I've been pretty busy packing stuff inside my house cause we are moving 5 blocks from where I'm living now. Can't wait until it's all done. I've been peeking in and out of here back then and noticed you guys were talking a lot about ghost stories that you have experienced or the kind of books you read or were reading. I didn't have anything to add to those subjects so I never jumped in. I was wondering what happened to Grim since I haven't seen her in here for so long. Tie- no need to start calling people names in here cause I like the way things got mellowed down.

Jesus Christ

TLC- I agree. So are you moving into a bigger house?

TLC
2009-06-09 23:46:18 ET

JC- No we aren't moving into a bigger house but moving in with my sister. Our house is bigger then her's is but my husband was off of work for 8 mos. and things got rough for us where our house is under foreclosure now. And my sister lost her husband through lung cancer so she is trying to make ends meet with just one check when it use to be two before. So it will help us all around with the bills and the way the economy is now.

Jamie
2009-06-10 03:18:44 ET

Ok. Back to the poll comments. . .
Allison and Anoop have the best chance for a career. I cannot see Lil with her own record, but would be a great backup singer. Megan needs to just go home and be a mother and give up her crazy (delusional) dream. Danny has a pretty good chance for a career and has a huge fanbase. I'm just not sure what type of music he will pursue.

TLC
2009-06-10 03:29:18 ET

JC- Sorry for not replying back sooner but I was voting in Rickeys poll and occassionally it stops you from voting saying that the poll is not active anymore. I keep getting that often, do you? To answer your question about Disney and YES I loved it there and you should go there. I've been there twice and it's awesome. I think you would enjoy it.

Tie, Matt was a wild card--this means he was not voted into the top 13--he was given a spot by the judges. The judges save was wasted on him, clearly. Simon said he would have considered saving EITHER Lil or Anoop--he was not specific, so you are wrong there. Matt is "okay", tolerable, nothing spectacular and I just don't see him making it with his lack of originality and sameness, blandness, if you will. And I don't mean to sound insulting, but he is not physically appealing to look at--and if you are not good looking n the music business, you better have MEGA talent to compensate. He doesn't. he's "meh".

Nie: YES!!!! of course we do.... none of this poll will mean anything until we all wait and wait to see what happens. And Michael Sarver WILL get a contract LOL - he's a "good ole boy" that worked rigs. Unfortunately for Kris, he's already said in at least 2 interviews he has no intention of going Country - too bad, he could have had a crossover type song and made some BIG $. But he IS staying true to his visions. Hey, did you see the video on the Rolling Stone??? You'll like that one.... TLC: Hang in there girlfriend.... JC: We should ALL meet up at Disney sometime. What a hoot!

He seems a nice person though. But Kellie Pickler earns more than Daughtry?!?! This world is unfair... I just saw that Rolling Stone video! Wow! Adam is an expert in make up! He should have given some tips on it. "Snake" and "Adam" work so well together... He should have grabbed an apple too. But the snake doesn't move... do you think it's real?

Nie: Yes... Kellie Pickler earned more than Clay, Daughtry, the two David's and of course Taylor Hicks last year (according to Forbes). If Pickler makes that kind of money, any of these guys can....LOL Yes, Sarver is boring - but so are all the rest of them. No rocker, good ole boy "yes". They're still fighting over the conspiracy theory on the comments for the new NYT article. I can't believe it...

2009-06-11 12:48:43 ET

Nie,

I am, too, am surprised that Matt is leading Danny. I don't get Matt's appeal, frankly. Danny has a great singing voice, but we have all learned that is not what Idol is about! Danny has some PR problems I suppose (meaning 'public relations' and 'personality repair').

I don;t think the NYT is suffering from post-idol depressive disorder. I think the story is being kept alive for good reason. Maybe we need to loon into this a little more. As I stated a couple of weeks ago in one of these many polls--I think if Danny had won over Adam, some people would have been very unhappy--but it would have been looked at as "fair". Kris, while talented, doesn't have the chops to compete with Adam, never did. so people are looking for an answer. I say, let the story play out. To think the NYT has nothing better to do than reprot tabloid crap is not accurate.

JC, ck: Where are you all posting these days?

Nie: I don't watch beauty contests, but I did catch Carrie on the news. When I heard the question, my stomach did a flip flop for her... How could she possibly answer the questions without offending someone?? I actually thought her answer was a good one - saying it was a matter of personal choice, just not hers. Perez Hilton is a jerk! Yes, how is Danny behind Matt???? I miss our other poll stories......

Nie
2009-06-11 14:00:54 ET

KH - Good to have you back on board! Lol PR for "personality repair"!!! I love it! I was more than "unhappy" that Adam didn't win. But it wasn't "impossible" at all. It was sooooo likely that many of Danny's vote went to Kris - this alone can hand the title to Kris. And of course there were the given phones and power vote issues which are already known to public. The bottom line is, they are both working on their individual albums and the result is done and dusted. Unless there is concrete evidence to overrule the result, gossipy conspiracies don't help but bring only embarrassment to both the idols. (Btw it's such a slap in the face for AI that the runner up appear on Rolling Stone's cover before the winner LOL.) CK - All that I know about Carrie comes from news headlines too. Perez Hilton has always been a jerk but I'm not a fan of Carrie either. She seems such an empty headed blonde... I miss our stories too but it seems that we still need to wait till the board dies down a bit...

HC: Most everyone is here... except QuietStorm, Grimoire13 and Ellery. This seems to be the "Matt G. Love Fest" - but I gotta tell you, he disappointed me during the show by not bringing it each and every week. I liked him during the auditions, but thought he didn't deliver every week like he coulda shoulda. I'm sick of Allison and don't think she'll make on the rock stations in the NYC area. Danny will probably go Gospel or Christian - not too much "blues" being played these days. Megan (who I can't stand) could have a chance MAYBE in a "goofy" type way - possible country - but I agree with Sherry - I don't think she'll work hard enough at it. JC: Left you some pooch notes on the last poll. I'm into SYTYCD - I'd like to come back as a dancer.

Do you think Adam suggested Kris grow that extra stubble he had the last couple of weeks of Idol? Anybody hear of Negativenellie???? Me neither - she has some dirt on Danny and claims that's why he hasn't gotten a contract yet. Sorry TLC or Grim - no offense.... I'm just trying to get some conversation going here......

ck- No we haven't moved yet. Waiting for my sister to clear her stuff from her house to make room for my some of my stuff. It's going to take a little while before we move in with her. Neil, Adams brother, sounds like he is a jerk just by the way he writes things down, don't you think?

Hi CK, NIE, JC and everyone...... I'm still here. My job is keeping me busy at the moment. I'm currently involved with helping people through this digital TV conversion, and today [ 6-12 ] is D-Day! I won't have a day off till Sunday, so I will try to catch up on the latest buzz with all of you then!

HI CK, QS, JC, KH and everyone!! CK - I'm still here *waves* lol. Ummm I checked out negativeneil's blog and that forum and still can't find anything about Gokey except that he is "lame." But Neil's blogs are soooo lengthy and I don't care to read them. Why did Gene Simmons told Adam to shut up? I listened to a clip the other day of him saying that Adam should have won AI. That guy is always changing his mind. QS - I watched on TV about that digital TV conversion thing and they said there are 24-hour hotlines for people to call in case they have problems with it... I hope you're not busying with picking up phones... just kidding :)

Nie- I went to that blog too and he just started to piss me off more and more about Danny trying to get sympathy votes. People who hasn't lost someone in their lives don't know what it's like to grieve and need to open up. I have gone through it 4 times losing my loved ones and it's really hard to live life and it takes a long time to recover. And you are so right about his blogs being so lengthy and I read most of it but didn't finish all of it. I like the part where he starts talking about Adam being gay and that he wasn't going after sympathy votes because of it... I thought that was such a lame excuse to bury Danny with it. It's totally so different what Danny going through and what Adam is. I'm sure he's embarassed of what his brother Adam is because he wouldn't of said all that plus he adds in that he is striaght. Give me a break!!!

Hi guys! I miss our "creepy" conversations.... "shut up" was about his sexuality - Gene says nobody cares, he's no Mick Jagger and he should front Queen. I don't know what the issues were between Danny and Adam - so what's the scoope? It's been raining here for days, and I've got a good case of the blahs... Nobody is even fighting here...Oh hum.... on the home page either everybody loves Adam or Kris. All the little girls are hoping he'll become straight for them. Funny.... he did make some comment about being "bi-curious" - is that to keep the tween girl fan base? Somebody made a comment that "they get" the butterfly on the crotch.... I don't, do you? If so, please tell me.

TLC - I agree with you. I don't think Danny told about his wife for sympathy votes. Honestly, if he did, I'd despise him because "using" a dead person to get vote is heartless and disrespective. But I don't think that was Danny's intention. He seems like the kind who says exactly what he thinks and he said it clearly that he joined the competition to show people they can overcome everything, which was more likely his intention of bringing up his wife. It was AI who used the issue as promotion, and since then people kept saying they hated Danny for using his wife but it was THEM who kept the issue alive. I think Danny put a few people off by crying out in triumph after he learned he got the spot in top 13. They said he didn't care for Tatiana's feelings (as if people do care). This seems a better reason to dislike him but then, as I said he seems to be one who speaks and acts whatever he feels, so it was just his natural response. But this is definitely something he should learn from. People don't generally appreciate raw, unpolished feelings on TV (despite that these are also the selling points of reality TV shows).

I didn't know people didn't like Danny. I never though HE used his wife's death.... I thought his friend and him were cute buddies at the audition - but what do I know? I am so bored with all of this stuff. I actually saw clip of Jon & Kate and though.... hmmm... Jon is looking "hot" - bald spot and all.... LOL Nie: I expected more comments about the bromance from you. Did you watch 20/20? OMG - Adam has to get really drunk to make out with girls??? Those girls on the home page can't wait to catch him at a 2:00 am last call.... ever so hopeful they'll be the one to change him.

CK - I was telling myself "OK, it's time to stop following everything on Adam Lambert" before you told me how "juicy" 20/20 is... and as a result of that I rushed back to the frontpage to watch the video. Wow I think I really like his Mom. She knew it but didn't breathe a word for the fear of pushing him! She should write a How To Be A Good Mom for Dummies series lol. Yes being the "savior" is always girls' fantasy. But I think they will be disappointed. I agree with you that Adam mentioned being "bi-curious" just so not to destroy the female fans' wild fantasies. Lol but a call at 2 am seems too early! I don't think he'd be drunk already at 2 a.m. Btw I saw Cats today and thought Rum Tum Tugger is such a perfect role for Adam! Ah but of course I'm more excited about his first album!!

He's doing Bowie "Fame" and Muse's "Starlight" on tour???? JC and QS are probably more familiar with Muse than I am.... but NO Bowie!!! There is only one Bowie.
