The mic straddle by Danny is pretty funny. It’s like he got there and didn’t know what else to! LOL! The rest of the moves are okay I think. He should be in good form for DTWS byt the end of the tour.
I’m always thankful for the little things in life, lol. Danny is just not a mic straddling kinda guy. I honestly do not understand why he is even doing it? It seems so out of character.
Maybe AI used up all of its production budget on Adam’s show? LOL
Actually iDanny needs a hot chick to straddle at this point, not a mic. I think they needed to add a female dancer here.
Canuck, you are creating a terrible scene across the screen in my mind. CUT! CUT!
Seriously though, think this song needs another dancer. It’s that kind of song.
Time to go…one can get carried away LOL
He can’t handle a metal mic stand and you want to give him a live dancer?
uh, oh. OH….. got it.
Well I coudn’t just leave the Gokey straddling debacle well enough alone. I hate to admit I even watched it but I found that it’s been pretty good for a laugh when I need it!
Oh Danny, didn’t anyone tell you? Leave the wailin’, mic straddling, and crotch grabbin’ to the big boys. And yes, I absolutely believe that Adam was the person Danny was copying!
Are you referring to his singing?
I’m sorry… I couldn’t help myself. I don’t like his “vocals”… just my opinion.
I was doing so well avoiding anything related to Danny and then someone had to bring up the mic stand. I had to watch. Now I wish I had had more resolve. I can be stronger! I will be stronger!
Seriously?
Well, if we all want to get uber technical about it, they all stole the mic stand move from Anoop, who was the first Season 9 contestant to get up close and personal with the mic stand during the Wild Card round.
They just decided to take it one step further with The Straddle.
I am pretty sure Adam is not the first performer to have straddled a mic stand and given it a good, old-fashioned dry hump (see: Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Axle Rose, etc). Also pretty sure he doesn’t have a patent on the move either.
And since I’ve already mentioned Anoop, I think his version of Mad is amaaaaaazing. He stole the show in the Beggin group number and looked so freaking good in his suit and nerd glasses.
Wow – I’m considering trying to go to a concert so I Googled and got this sight. It kinda makes me feel bad for the Idols – not so much the 1 thru 5 maybe, but the other ones. This might be their only chance to make some money if they don’t get signed to a recording deal, but what’s the impetus for people to buy a ticket if you can see videos of all their performances on line?
Having said that, of course I watched them, and I have to say Adam, Matt and Alison seem to be the most entertaining and put on a great show for the audience, looked the most comfortable on the stage. I still might buy a ticket to see them in person. It kinda looks like a mini-concert for each contestant which is really cool.
I personally will take the smaller venue over the larger anytime. Massey Hall in Toronto is the best place to see any act IMO, which holds about 2500, 100 times better than Air Canada Centre, which holds 20,000. Plus Massey Hall was built for music not hockey.
Lavender, THIS!!!
I remember listening to Jethro Tull and Cohen in Massey Hall – it was great, and then I watched Santana’s concert in Sky Dome – I did not like it at all
Coming back to Kris following Adam – well, it’s like putting Leonard Cohen after the Rolling Stones, for example – they are just totally different
I don’t even know where to post; it seems people are posting here and there. In any case, I was reading a comment from someone at the Portland show, and she said Adam was not at the signing as long as the others because the media wanted to talk to him. Also she said the person who was with him wouldn’t let people take pictures of him.
So can anyone from the Portland show verify this?
Poster said, “but what’s the impetus for people to buy a ticket if you can see videos of all their performances on line?”
Hi! I just wanted to say, having been at the Portland concert Sunday evening, that video really can’t capture even a fraction of the experience of seeing most of them live. Unlike a lot of singers these days, the Idols can sing incredibly well without any help from recording equipment, etc. Their voices in person, for the most part, were INCREDIBLY good. And the whole experience just is completely different from watching a video.
Haha, I swear I’m not an ai plant! I just had a far better time than I ever, ever would have imagined having at an ai concert. It was truly a fantastic concert. Sure, a couple of the performers really aren’t up to the quality of the others, but by and large, almost all of the top 10 are really, really talented, and have the ability to put on a great live show.
It’s frustrating, because words on your screen can’t really convey it. Seriously, hearing Allison and Adam live? Let’s just say, EPIC. Kris also was fantastic. Anoop’s voice shocked me with how good it is, and Matt and Lil put on great performances. Again, you just get a completely different experience live.
Agreed. The quality of the youtube vids is never going to be amazing (though that one of Lil doing No One was pretty great – looked like 3rd row center!)
But live is AMAZING – and even the underwhelming ones on the show seem so much better live.
On another note: does anyone know where I can find a decent video of Danny doing Maria Maria? The only one I found on youtube was not the best. Thanks!
Hello css,
I read your recent posts to my friend (she still refuses to go into the blogs)
and it is like ,all those who love Adam’s music have become kindred spirits.
But still my friend has not landed back from Mars or wherever Adam has transported her. Its two days already and she is a goner. She has not recovered.
I feel so guilty now as i gifted her an Itunes gift card with instructions to download all of Adam’s music video last month. That started it all. She has never seen a single Am Idol show.
I actually got a thank you from her husband because he is a huge Bowie fan. He is happy to escort her to all these concerts. Does not mind the wife going gaga over Adam. He said that it is first time he heard someone cover Bowie and delivered as powerful as Bowie’s would have been . He said kudos to Adam because he sounds very original in all the songs he sang from WLL to Starlight to Bowie Medley. Like they were written just for him.
you guys just make me laught so haaaaaard!!!!! I am glued to the computer, watching you tube endless times and hoping I would be able to go to a concert, unfortunately it’s not gonna happen for me
Maybe, when Adam comes for a Euro tour………
Someone had a question about Adam not being out long because of press and I believe that was true, at least before the show. I was there after the show by the buses and you were allowed to take pictures of Adam, but not with him. It was really weird and I didn’t get it. I saw all the other Idols taking pics with fans. Maybe cause EVERYONE would want one?? Who knows. It definitely turned into a frenzy when he walked out. It was nuts and almost a little scary. I heard one lady say these people are animals. lol But he lived up to what I would hope he would be like in person. Kind and gracious. Signed my RS mag too!! Woot!!! Love you Adam.
