Qcloud9 – I would love for him to perform that, but Chris B is pretty hated by the public right now. I dont know if Anoop singing it would go over very well.

AnoopFan – You may be right, I don’t know how most people think about that. To me it isn’t a problem, since I can distinguish between the song and the song writer. So to me it would be fine for Anoop to sing the song, since singing the song doesn’t mean he condones Chris Brown’s behavior.

I like Anoop’s version better than Chris B. I noticed Kiss Kiss video by Chris Brown has already had almost 14 million views, so maybe American Idol would like to start including some of this type of music! No contestant has performed it yet, but they did recently have Kayne West perform, so they must believe the audience wants to see it.

megan- chasing pavements
anoop- mad
matt g.- you found me
alison- so what
kris- im yours or lucky
adam- kings of leon

I wonder how many songs they’ll actually have to choose from? I think a lot of people would be surprised at how limited they are with every theme given that the judges are always harping on their song choice.

I guess since they have current songs as options it’s even more important that they choose songs that fit the artist they want to be after the show.

Any significance to an eye tatoo on a wrist in particular?

Eye tats are supposed to be protective, ward off bad shit, like it’s watching out for you, stuff like that. I think Adam’s is specifically the Eye of Horace (or Ra) which is protective and also a symbol of rebirth, regeneration because the Egyptian god Horace lost his left eye in battle with Seth for dominance over Egypt and later it was miraculously restored.

Scott- the Climb (Miley Cyrus)

Oh em gee, I hate that song with the heat of a thousand Disney fireworks shows gone wrong. Seriously, the first time I heard it on the radio, I thought it was a joke song, like a parody of a ballad. And the singing, owww, even with autotune. Should be perfect for Scotty Hardcore. *runs away before he can thunk me on the head*

Anoop has done a lot of songs on that list that would really surprise a lot of people, because he does it all so well, whether you have heard the song before or not!

Qcloud9, are any of those songs upbeat?

Upbeat, yes! I’ll try to list them later, I’m too tired to do it now.

Oh, I wonder what happened to the grey vest?

#1 Downloads? Nuts, I wanted someone to do Use Somebody by Kings of Leon.

If someone can pull that off I will love them forever. Unless it’s Danny, heh.

I like Anoop but I want to like him more. Although heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s done well (Always on My Mind was wonderful), I expect something more from him. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know what but maybe, a hint of creativity or a spark of something more that would convince me that heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s more than just a soloist from Clef Hangers.

Or a new style? COME ON, STYLISTS!

As a guy who seems to be à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“justà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  a singer, it might be beyond him to do major rearrangements to his songs in few days

He was the musical director his senior year in college.

now that song I know and love. Is it on the list? Yes, it would be a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“momentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ! He would pull in a lot of new voters if it is done well.

Unfortunally it isnt

Anoop has done a lot of songs on that list that would really surprise a lot of people, because he does it all so well, whether you have heard the song before or not!

Qcloud9, are any of those songs upbeat? I am not that familiar with many of these songs, and I can’t get to iTunes. Anoop needs to stay away from ballads.

(Just as some of you were unfamiliar with the Motown songs, I knew every one from the TOP 50 list that appeared here. But I am always open to hearing good music!)

I really want Anoop to sing JAI HO! He could have a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“momentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

AmoopFan, now that song I know and love. Is it on the list? Yes, it would be a “moment”! He would pull in a lot of new voters if it is done well.

I know so many men (and a few women) who are very competitive. It is a good personality trait of someone who doesn’t give up and wants to get better.

and I believe that I established that Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m the type of artist that will not only work my tail off to do what I do, but that I never give less than 110 percent when Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m performing, and I believe I showed that.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

Good for you Michael because that’s what it takes!!!!! I’ve seen a friend do this, she works her tail off and gives 110 percent and doors are opening for her, albeit on a local level. But you’ve had some national exposure, don’t give up your dream!!!

I looked at the IDF pictures of Adam. He has an eye tatoo on his wrist. Cook has an eye tatoo on his wrist. Different style of eye, but an eye nonetheless. Any significance to an eye tatoo on a wrist in particular? Just wonderingà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

It’s the Eye of Horus, an Egyptian symbol that’s supposed to protect and ward off evil -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus

Unless it is done deliberately for some reason, it looks to be drawn slightly wrong – the curly bit under the eye should be placed on the other side of the eye going in the opposite direction.

You can have it tattooed anywhere, no specific I know of for it being on the wrist except that it is eye-catching.

I expect something more from him. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know what but maybe, a hint of creativity or a spark of something more that would convince me that heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s more than just a soloist from Clef Hangers.

Well, the judges pretty much challenged Anoop to do just that for this week, so we’ll see. As a guy who seems to be “just” a singer, it might be beyond him to do major rearrangements to his songs in few days (I haven’t seen too many r&b covers of other genres in general, either on the show or out in the real world. It seems easier to take an r&b/pop song, strum an acoustic guitar and turn it into semi-soulful folk, like hundreds of random people do on YouTube)

I think he can do way more with his voice than some of the other guys (excluding Adam of course), but if he’s going to stand out based on his voice alone, he needs to pick the right songs, really commit and lay it all out there. I think Beat It and the reaction to Beat It spooked him, and he’ll probably be out at 7 unless he really gets his confidence back. He should be safe next week as long as he doesn’t sing Viva la Vida like a goat, frantically run around saying “Beat It” or sing another slow, slow ballad (or sing Alanis’ cover of My Humps, ha.)

Why am I writing essays about Anoop? lol – sorry

Which week do we start getting 2 performances from each remaining contestant?

Top 5.

I think he should really prove this week that he can be current as a lot of people still are wondering what kind of album can Adam Lambert make. Adam has said that he wants to make an album with electronica, rock, pop, and funk. So I think it would be awesome if he did Lady Gagaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Just Dance. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the style of music that he wants to make and he can do some crazy vocals with it. ….. I think this is the perfect week for fun Dancey Pop Adam.

adamandeva – I totally agree with your post! Dancey Pop Adam would be perfect after serious, soul-searching Adam. I’m one of those who really wants to know what kind of album Adam plans to record. All four of his performances have been so different, and as much as I’ve loved them all, I’m left wondering which, if any, really represent him as an artist.
