Allison Iraheta is super excited to talk to the Good Day LA people. She watches them every day! Adam, also from LA, could care less.
“Norman was brilliant,” says Adam about Nick Mitchell. And Adam, without naming names, hints strongly that no one got along with Tatiana Del Toro.
Good Day LA
Good Day New York asks Adam about his professional experience, and he admits he has a lot of theater experience, but very little on TV and that he’s still getting used to it.
Kris Allen so far? Boring as a rock.
Interview with Good Day New York, after the JUMP…
Good Day New York:
StormD, too funny!
We really got to know and love Jason from his first performance. IMO, his charisma was apparent from the beginning. This is not to discount Kris Allen with his first interviews. I am looking at the guy who will attract the young teen girls. At this point, who could it be?
AI needs Adam to be on the show. He is very entertaining! I prefer Alexis to Allison. Anoop came mighty close and should be in the TOP 12. He’s another one AI needs on their concert tour.
“He is an incredible singer, an incredible musician and just a really fun guy. I would love to see Matt back for the wildcard.” – Adam Lambert
That sounds like the definition of the next AMERICAN IDOL to me!
That was very sweet of Adam to mention Matt…and I think it says a lot when your competition can give you credit like that. The rest (Allison and Kris) sounded as though they were in agreement with him too. Matt Giraud has got to get that Wildcard – I think he’s the missing link for the Top 12 so far. He’s what this competition needs.
“…a bottle of hair dye and a flat iron.”
“…uh–IDN…..uh….”
“OMG OMG OMG”
I am so enjoying this group of 3—they give off a good vibe of camaraderie, humor and support.
And so much for the “diva”–anybody who can tell the world he gets his “do” from a bottle of hair dye and a flat iron is okay with me! But then, I’ve always liked Adam since I first watched his YouTube vids. I have to admit my ears do ache a little on tlhe high notes—but the pain is lost in admiration…LOL
One thing I have come to appreciate about Adam is how well he handles the interviews. Yes, he’s charismatic, poised and articulate, but after his interview with Stevie Wright, and this most recent one, I can see he is also very kind and sweet with the younger contestants. I think his talent, confidence and creativity will keep us entertained throughout AI8…and on!
*My first post–love the blog–great job MJ, getting all the information out!! :clap_tb:
He reminded me of a big brother/boy-next door type in that interview. He was so nice to her and teased her a little bit. And he genuinely seemed interested in what she was saying.
Glad to see a stylist got their hands on Kris’s hair – Adam is fabulous – Allison cute.
