Well, my sweetheart (Allison) was voted off last week and my wife is telling me it's showtime....

Adam, Kris or Danny?

I'm with you guys on the conspiracy/fix stuff. Lets face it most of these kids that win probably already had some professional experience. (Adam sounds like he has some serious high school musical experience.)

Regardless, when I go to the music store and see American Idol books and media encouraging kids to sing or take up an instrument it's a lot better alternative than drugs or violence.

Adam does have quite a vocal range! It looks like he'll end up winning, but I really wish Allison was still in the race. Kris is a self taught musician (guitar/piano) and works with problem children. Danny is okay, but sounds more like a karaoke singer to me.

I guess you have to love Adam or hate him and I wasn't too excited about his arrangements but he will probably win anyway. The other too had their moments last night and could cause an upset so get ready for tonight.

Allison is definately missed but I'm sure she will have a great career anyway. You don't really need to win. Top ten is good enough.

At least this year was finally a rock year unlike the past hip hop years. So we should be happy with whatever the outcome is. Especially if it inspires our youth.

My disappointment was no song writing contest. I was toying with the idea of submitting.

I think Kris got the votes of all the 15 and 70 yr olds who vote. He also paced himself better than Danny and was stronger in the finals challenges whereas Danny started strong, but ran out of steam.

Don't hold out for any surprises next week, I think Adam wins it, although I like Kris.

There used to be a talent show hosted by Ed McMahon and I recall a singer named 'Sam Harris' who had a huge vocal range and could really get in those higher octaves like Adam does.

Agreed, and by a large margin. All those Danny voters are now going to switch over to Adam, and it will not be close. Just my opinion...

I think its better not to come in first. If you win you have to fulfill all sorts of contractual obligations but if you come in second your more of a free agent.

Hi

I watch it sometimes, but it always pisses me off. It is a popularity contest not a talent contest.

Regards.
