Therefore Scott can release an album independently before Kris does with whatever major label signed him in as a grand prize in winning AI. hahahahaa!!!!!!!
(listening to Scott’s pre-AI cd right now, excited for the next album)…
Scott is pullling a Kristy Lee Cook.Didnt she create a bad album before anyone else from s7 did? It didnt work out.I dont think Scott’s record deal will work out.
The point is that he won’t need a record deal to release music. It’s all going to be done independently, where his sales will have no effect on whether or not he can continue his music career. He did this before already.
And for the record, his own material is miles better than what he did on Idol. It wouldn’t hurt to actually give it a listen.
krist lee cook signed in June 2008 to Arista Nashville.Dont think you can release any music unless your signed or if they release you of your contract.Thats why you see idols put out records after a year goes by.I do think its a year from the date your voted off but could be reading the contract wrong.
I don’t agree that this group is less close than last season although I think both are close. I’d call it a draw. I also don’t think there’s any difference in the talent level. They’re just different. Overall they’re a great bunch of kids and I’m sure the concert will entertain just as much as previous seasons.
Thank you so much for the videos, MJ!!!
Matt is definitely the funny one, he shows more personality during post idol interviews than when he was on the show.
Adam is still hilarious! Awwww… He is just so cute! Every word that came out of his mouth just made my day!
Adam is so gracious to point out that what Kara has really contributed to the show. Yes, some Adam haters, or Kara haters or whoever hates the whole world would think Adam is just being whiny to say that. However, I totally agree with Adam, I think many people hate Kara just because they want to hate someone. Paula has always been the target, now there is another one! YAY! I think that’s what most haters think, they have found a new target to hate on. Since I’m not a big fan of idol or anti-idol, I can remain neutral and look at the whole show and the judges from a different perspective. I just hope there are less haters posting nasty comments everywhere to try to upset others, so for us, as fans, can stay focus on people that we love. On this note, although I dislike Kris personally (just my personaly preference, nothing against him), I have to agree with his message, in the American society, respect and tolerance are what most people have to learn.
I am walking away from these videos with one comment.
SCOTT, SHUT UP!!!!
I was disappointed in this show as well. I’m almost always disappointed in the AI interview show on Larry King. Not enough questions from the fans answered. Too much emphasis on a few people – though Scott wasn’t having any of that this year. He spoke a whole lot more than the final 2. Ryan goofed on that. He needed to steer some of the questions to the final 2 as opposed to the entire group, where Scott invariably took over.
I did like Adam’s surprised expression when Scott talked about falling asleep during performing classical pieces.
I seriously doubt Adam will be let go from any of his Idol dates this summer. AI knows many fans purchased tickets just to see Adam. If AI let Adam off some of the dates this summer, then what is to say they won’t do that in future years. AI concert sales will drop for future seasons as well. I think the concert tour only lasts a few months? Adam will do the AI tour then see about hooking up with Queen for some dates with them.
Which I will dearly love. I’m still “iffy” on seeing the AI tour. Adam is the only one I am the slightest bit interested in seeing, so I’m not sure that is enough to get me there.
As for Bo and Kat missing some of their dates, wasn’t it due to illness? I think Bo’s stomach issues started right about then, and Kat had some kind of injury as well and could not perform. If Adam misses dates, it will be due to that and he won’t be performing with Queen or anywhere else.
Ryan that was boring! Bring Larry King back and do this over. Scott and Sarver talk too much for people who were voted off early, and Megan is like forgotten at the side. Nice to see Allison though and Matt and Anoop!
The highlights of the show is watching Kris and Adam nearly fall asleep listening to other people talk, but I totally dig the sarcastic comment by Adam about mountains and streams.
I prefer last year’s interview with Larry King. There was more camaraderie showing among the Idol contestants last year. This year’s group just seems tensed.
Adam better be at the concert I go to. And if he’s not I demand double Iraheta. :furious_tb: Wait, scratch that, I demand double Iraheta no matter what! Make a note, double Iraheta at the Atlanta show. But really, I can’t imagine a scenario wherein Adam not being at any show without multiple doctor’s affidavits would be remotely acceptable. I’m sure he’s driving ticket sales. I’m definitely excited to hear him.
Scott was clearly the most important person in that room.
Kris seems to have a very wry sense of humor, as does Adam. It would have been cooler if there had been more focus on Kris. He did win the show, right?
Thank you, MJ, for posting the entire show here. I had missed it, and a lot of sites had clips, but you have the whole thing. You rock!
I’ve always thought the Top 7 got along pretty well with Scott, Megan & Sarver just kind of off to the side. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because they got eliminated earlier but it’s just always seemed that way to me.
I totally wouldn’t mind seeing a Dallison duet! I know most people want an Adam and Allison duet but they already had one on the show and I just want to see a different pairing. But I guess the bigger question is, will there even BE duets?
Hehe – I thought I had imagined that look on Adam’s face! I figured maybe he was doing a mental shake “K Adam, wakey wakey!” but my *first* impression was that he was surprised at Scott’s comment. Funny.
Great vids! Thanks so much for sharing! Looks like a great group of people. It was great seeing them all in candid, fun moments – but it definitely felt a bit like the “Adam Show” to me. Kris was definitely very quiet – but then I think that’s just his natural, laid back personality.
Adam is charisma personified – very quick and witty. Matt also seemed really cool and fun, as did Anoop (I know so many friends like Anoop!) Not sure how Adam wasn’t selected as the superlative for Biggest Rebel, but, maybe no one wanted to make it too much about him anymore! Danny seems very uncomfortable in the interviews though – he was the only one that seemed kind of out of place – everyone else just seemed like cool kids having a good time, but he was very reserved – like the adult watching over every one.
Best. Line. Ever. “So, Adam, why are you so fabulous?”
“I was born that way!”
LOL! What a cool guy! I hope he talks to the audience during the idols tour. And I hope we get an Adam/Allison duet rather than the hinted at Danny/Allison duet. I want to hear Slow Ride again!
All in all – lots of fun to watch.
Oh, and I just have to second those comments about how I would be majorly bummed if Adam didn’t show up at a show because of something else. I got good tickets to the tour, and my reasoning was basically:
90% to see Adam
5% to see the other Top 4 (mainly Kris and Allison, but I think Danny will have a great big voice in person)
5% to see everyone else (most of whom were just “eh” to me this year)
So, yeah – Adam better be there. And my picks for his songs would be:
* Mad World or Tracks of My Tears (preference on MW)
* Feeling Good, Whole Lotta Love or Black or White (for more of a rock song)
* Slow Ride duet with Allison (or another duet with her)
* Something new (typically they’ll do a song or two that wasn’t on the show)
Hopefully he gets 4 songs – I think they gave Archie about as many as Cook last year, because of his popularity, but then Cook got an extra song with his encore.
But I remember when Kat wasn’t at part of the S5 tour, and it was a medical reason – I can’t imagine Adam would be allowed to book another gig because of contractual obligations.
Without Adam, this season’s Idol tour would be a bit bland. He’s like a spark in a spark plug. I imagine he’ll wear some of the clothes worn on the show.
