Rickey Minor did mention something acapella at the start, if it will sound good or not……it may be a slip of the tongue.
WHAT? I assure you they’re not all Adamtards. Ann Powers is a big supporter of Adam and has always been, but she actually has good reasons to root for Adam and she always presents them so articulately.
Adam B. Vary is NOT an Adamtard. He’s from EW and he actually praises Kris a lot during that interview.
Richard Rushfield from LA Times is very neutral. He picks Kris for the win for goodness’ sake.
Rickey Minor is no “Adam fan”, or at least not overtly so. He says that he doesn’t play favorite in this competition.
So it’s not a “reunion of Adam fans”. Its a pretty fair roundtable analysis of the season. And the people who think Adam has so much press just because the media likes to ignore Kris are seriously deluded. Adam just is popular because he’s talented, personable and has such colorful personality that makes for good material. Let’s face it, Kris just doesn’t have a fraction of that appeal. The press will write about whatever they want, and they’ll want someone who sells.
The song spoilers come from this fox 5 San Diego video
PLEASE kris go with falling slowly since Simon didnt get to comment that night and Heartless is too recent.
I say to both Kris and Adam, please go with your gut and don’t second guess your choices if you’re reading online! Log off and go practice! LOL.
After this interview I understand why some in the media would love for Adam to win. Kris is cute and laid back, but Adam is an interviewer’s dream come true.
jt: I do not think the “big surprise” band is KiSS-KISS would pretty much open a grocery store if you paid them. If there is really a huge big surprise band it must be Bowie-although it is hard to believe that Bowie could be persuaded to appear on American Idol.
I don’t think the big surprise “band” is Bowie since Bowie is a guy. I do think that “Kiss” fits the AI definition of big surprise band. They definitely fit with the 70’s/80’s vibe of most of the rest of the guest list!
There is a rumor posted on IDF that Anoop might be singing with Jason Mraz and Megan together in the finale. Those rumor is that those three guys might be singing a song together. I think that this rumor may have originally come from someone on Twitter.
I don’t know how true it is, and it would be kind of random if Anoop is singing with those two, because his musical style is not really similar to Jason’s and it’s very different from Megan’s. But if this is how he will get more airtime in the finale, then I will take it.
LOL. :laugh_tb: I think I may have to co-sign this post.
I hope that Danny gives a good performance with Lionel Richie. I am looking foward to that duet, I think that they are going to sound good together. :smile2_tb:
I’d like to see Aerosmith come & do “Dream On” w/ Adam! Seriously, I’d love to see Bowie w/ Adam. I was never a Kiss fan.
I’m thrilled for this top 2. I lean towards Adam but I truly like Kris & predicted Kris for the win back at top 9. So I win either way. And so do they, really.
MJ, I was watching my local news this morning (FOX 7 Austin) and they had a reporter in LA this morning and she said that the coronation song is called “No Boundaries” and was written by Kara. I capped it and can have video up soon-ish, but that is absolutely what they said. You can go ahead and add that to your spoiler list
“No Boundaries”…..I like the sound of that! Thanks MissM, it’s going to be long day waiting for all the little tidbits that may leak out.
MJ,
David Cook singing Permanent is not only a message on Our Lady Peace’s MySpace, Cookie said it himself in an interview on Fox 6 Milwaukee. :jittery_tb: :wub_tb:
I hope both Adam and Kris do an oputstanding job. It would be nice if the judges limited their pimp factor and gave honest critiques. I lean more towards Adam at this point.
I heard the rumor was that Anoop was dating Megan, but maybe it is just that they will be performing together with a special guest star.
I hate that DWTS final results show is tonight. I hope there will not be overtime on AI.
