And I'm a Middle American, thankyouverymuch. ;-) Comparisons to Clay & David Hernandez are a good thing in my book. And if the whole Top 12 get to tour this year... I'm happy for them but SHEESH why couldn't Hernandez have gotten to tour last year?!? (Ok, I <em>know </em>why - *cough*gaystripper*cough* - but my fave hasn't made it to tour for 3 seasons now!) Ahem, back to Adam. IMO one of the best vocalists Idol has ever seen. Stage experience & presence, range, control, beautiful tone, and versatility... and I love him already... yep, he's doomed! Sorry Adam. At least I'll hopefully get to hear him on my tv a couple of times and they maybe in a Broadway series tour in a few years!! LOOOOOOOVE him!!!

I certainly think Adam can finally marry the diva thing that AI has been doing, with the finally out with a vengeance, instead of keeping it quietly, but unavoidably obvious (I'm looking at you, Clay). Sexuality has always played an unspoken element on the show - Adam would take that particular piece of clothing out of the closet and flaunt it. You go, girl! Adam makes me think of a couple things. One, is that AI is hugely popular in the gay community and Adam would absolutely explode there, if he hasn't already. And also, does anyone remember a recent David Cook interview where he mentioned about wanting to do concerts that really put on a show like the glam rock period? Hmmmm. I wonder, if Adam would give DC more wiggle room (so to speak) to let his own freak flag fly? How bout Adam as the combination of the Top 3 from Season 7: David C, David A and Syesha?

I would think that he could go a little campier with "Crazy" in New York/LA as opposed to toning it down in Idaho or Alabama. So I have high hopes that he could mold his performances so he can get through until he can afford to be as theatric as he wants when he's in Top 10. And regarding Simon, my take on it is that he's making up for Rhydian so he's trying to see if someone with an OTT personality/performance mindset can do well, if not succeed, in America/Idol. One thing about Adam is he’s a Broadway boy so he can tailor his performances to suit the audience.

With people like Adam Lambert and Von Lee Smith, we may have the most dramatic (read: annoying) season ever. Adam DOES have a killer range, but his theatrics are a big turn off (for me).

I watched him win SS so that dates me too, lol. hypertwink I see what your saying. David's hair was a bit not the norm for AI. I think that is why Adam reminds me a tad of DC, it's the hair. The voice does not. Adam has a much higher voice than DC. His voice reminds me more of Aiken. I think it will be interesting to see if he makes it through the ranks and I love a showman. If your going to sing on AI, please move around and draw me in. soccerboi, I love Sam Harris! I watched him win SS so that dates me too, lol.

Adam strikes me as being very cocky, which is something he criticized David Cook for. However, as others have already said, Simon is very fickle. He might like "cocky" this year. But will America like it?
