I got goosebumps from that LONG HIGH NOTE which didn’t end until he brought it down in a run! MY GOD!

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:00 pm

That send chills up and down my spine!

Awesome as always!!!!! Man he looks so much like Elvis!

Did he give a credit for Muse before he sing it ?

He should give a credit for Muse ! Cmon Adam, it’s not your original arrangement ….

Elisa on April 28, 2009 at 9:02 pm

other than the amazingly high note, was it THAT incredible? it was great, but not incredible

NO ONE was talking arrangements as being original or not tonight. It was an OUTSTANDING performance, and that’s all that we’ve been talking about.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Didn’t like this one. I HATE his high notes, I feel like they are screamed instead of sang. Blah. I agree with Randy definitely. Did not like it and do NOT get the hype with him.

I wish he would go back to doing performances like “Tracks of my Tears.” THAT is the Adam I actually don’t mind.

Lindsay on April 28, 2009 at 9:04 pm

Same ole same ole. Just change the words each week, then scream a while. Stick the tongue out flat, like you’re gagging for the doctor.

Gag. Hmmm. Good word, now that I think about it.

GO ADAM! LOVED IT! I ONLY SAW THE LAST PART! BUT I”LL WATCH IT LATER AGAIN!

I’m glad he didn’t give credit to Muse… Muse is an AMAZING band and my ears are bleeding after hearing that performance.

Steph on April 28, 2009 at 9:06 pm

I was so hoping Adam would sing this! My first goose-bump performance of the season.

Elena on April 28, 2009 at 9:06 pm
12

he sent me to another dimension when he sang! amazing presence, amazing movements, amazing expressions (specially the last one) he always does something different and outstanding! the scream in the middle was from another world
it was similar to the muse version, but he made his own, as always! LOVE HIM!

Luciana on April 28, 2009 at 9:07 pm

Adam is my Hero!!! That was AMAZING…and I have’ny even seen it yet, only heard the mp3 now and I love it already!!!

Blakeluver on April 28, 2009 at 9:08 pm

OMG I am an Adam fan but I wasn’te expecting this much greatness, it was BRILLIANT, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

And wow, did he look great tonight or what?

Once again The Glambert owns the night.

alx on April 28, 2009 at 9:09 pm
15

C’mon Adam … even DC give a credit for other people’s arrangement …
I kinda disappoint with you, Adam …
Yes you have a great performance in the beginning (I hate the ending, it’s too much ! – you almost destroyed the beauty of Feeling Good) but please pretty please some credit for Muse ?

Elisa on April 28, 2009 at 9:12 pm
16

I am NOT telling people to NOT post messages in certain threads, but I mean, REALLY… The biggest broken record of the season come from the SAME HANDFUL OF PEOPLE talking about the screaming. If you hate the screaming, that’s fine, but why say it WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK. That LONG NOTE (high or screaming – what the f does it matter!) YOU TRY TO DO IT!!! It was AMAZING!

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:13 pm
17

why do i get the feeling that the judges are slowly throwing him under the bus?

hardCOPY on April 28, 2009 at 9:14 pm
18

Are people wining here serious? Adam didn’t shout in this song at all. It’s the wicked style high-note.

Absolutely liked Adam’s performance tonight!

lalilali on April 28, 2009 at 9:15 pm

Because its fixed…

? on April 28, 2009 at 9:15 pm

I love the high notes, so I FLOVED this performance! Even my brother who is a non Idol-fan but was in the room for the last 3 performances said Adam has the best voice of the lot. Adam always puts on a show, and most of all I watch Idol to be entertained. He was AMAZING!

lilbrusc102 on April 28, 2009 at 9:17 pm
21

people who says it sounded like screaming need to listen to screamo music before they say crap. It was amazing how he sang.

steve on April 28, 2009 at 9:17 pm
22

THANK YOU LILILALI! I don’t care if that even was the “SCREAMING HIGH NOTE”… that was an amazing showcase of vocal control! And. It wasn’t a screaming note.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:18 pm
23

That was amazing- takes real talen to hold a high note for so long. I cant even reach close to that lols

Josh on April 28, 2009 at 9:18 pm
24

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. Adam could not think of anything to do so he decided to scream it out with a theatrical entrance. You CAN”T do theatre with a rat pack classic. Give me a break. There is a reason why a big band is there. As usual, total manipulation from the producers to try to sway votes. Sorry it was not the best tonight. Danny was…

w.m on April 28, 2009 at 9:18 pm
25

The best, just the best, he puts the other singers to shame, they don’t belong on the same stage

Rickey? Video please

sam on April 28, 2009 at 9:19 pm

OMG! THAT WAS AMAZING. AGAIN HOW DOES HE DO IT? THAT HIGH NOTE – WOW!!!! It was perfect tonight. Vote for Adam!

RenaB on April 28, 2009 at 9:20 pm

of course, adam was the best tonight as always

danii on April 28, 2009 at 9:20 pm
29

That note was gorgeous! It was a good night for everyone (except Matt), and this performance was a great way to close the show.

I love the original version, I love the Muse version, but if I could only listen to one, it would be Adam’s. That’s my mark of a great performance.

Jen on April 28, 2009 at 9:21 pm
30

I liked it…. but I didn’t take anything from what the judges said.

My fear for him is that lately, Adam have been slightly comfortable and he’s going back to that OTT-ness that “Satisfaction” was. I’m not saying I like it… I do like this performance but OTT doesn’t always mean a “better performance” or more votes.

Tonight, all the judges did say whether the contestant has the “drive to win” or “nah, you don’t have what it takes to win”.

Katri on April 28, 2009 at 9:21 pm
31

That long note kills me.

I keep listening back, it’s fantastic.

Klope62 on April 28, 2009 at 9:22 pm
32

Talking about Danny, no..no.. I don’t see why judges liked it so much.

lalilali on April 28, 2009 at 9:22 pm
33

The spoilers said it was the arrangment done by Muse. I don’t think so! It wasn’t the same at all.

LOVED it. Phenominal.

If you ppl that hate Adam’s “screaming” as you call it–why do you stop on this page first?

Glenda on April 28, 2009 at 9:23 pm
34

Lulz, missing word:

I’m not saying I DON’T like it… I do like this performance but OTT doesn’t always mean a “better performance” or more votes.

Katri on April 28, 2009 at 9:24 pm
35

why every week are people jumping all over Adam to give credit to the arrangement of the song? do the other contestants ever give credit for the arrangements? ummm no.

That was another brilliant performance!

Adam S. on April 28, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Hottness right there!

sweetangel1051 on April 28, 2009 at 9:25 pm

Usually, I LOVE Adam, but that was just NOT good. Not tonight.

KRo on April 28, 2009 at 9:26 pm

Adam never fails to deliver….simple as that! He’s gonna be the next AI…you just hide and watch!

Karon on April 28, 2009 at 9:26 pm
40

WOWSA!! Now THAT was a performance worth remembering! Isn’t that what American Idol is really about? Adam Lambert has the WOW factor, the triple threat. Keep it going Adam, you truly have the talent!

Brenda on April 28, 2009 at 9:26 pm
41

Danny’s closing of that song was OUTSTANDING. The first half of it was blah. I was thrilled he finally had a moment, though.

I agree with a past comment… The only performance that was vocally amazing was Matt. I think Simon was doing the reverse psychology, honestly!

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:27 pm
42

Adam S – THANK YOU!! No one does. David Cook almost never did, either. And WHY BOTHER!? An amazing performance is an amazing performance.

Muse’s cover for Feeling Good :

Adam, please give Muse a credit at tomorrow result show … c’mon .. show me what kind a man are you

Elisa on April 28, 2009 at 9:29 pm
44

People that say he screams don’t understand how hard it is to have that kind of control. If you got it, flaunt it and Adam’s GOT IT!!

MeLovesAdam on April 28, 2009 at 9:29 pm
45

I meant “WASN’T vocally amazing was Matt.”

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:29 pm
46

Awesome – I love the tone and the note at the end, out of this world!! Here goes the scream and the theatrical comments again.

Is he a performer? YES
Does he sing well simultaneously? YES
Can other contestants do so? …

And regarding BigFanLittleDavid, “Stick the tongue out flat, like you’re gagging for the doctor.” I don’t think you can sing anything that can be compared to what what he does when you gag at the doctor’s. It’s a vocal technique- moving the tongue allows for the larger notes to be emitted.

AidenMuses on April 28, 2009 at 9:30 pm
47

One other thing to keep in mind. EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER SUNG THIS SONG on Idol WENT HOME, so he took a risk there.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:30 pm
48

ADAM WAS MESMERIZING! My heartbeat is still over 200~! Apart from his magnificent voice and styling, he is magnetic, magical, and a SUPERSTAR! I love him so much that I can’t stop smiling. However, I thought the other four were all spectacular tonight. It will be a shame to see any of them leave tomorrow night. In their own ways, they each nailed the songs.

frankie on April 28, 2009 at 9:31 pm
49

Adam was the best as usual. If you have been wathing AI this seaon then you would know that Adam always thanks the band or last week (disco) the guy who put that arrangement together – he always does. Don’t kock him for not sayng that it was Muse… That’s Ryan Seacrest job not Adams. If you don’t like Adam then don’t comment go the Idol that you write & write something about them. You may not think he is the best singer out there but more than 1/2 of American loves him sooooo that’s gotta tell you smothing about your opinio!!!!!!!!!

Aimee on April 28, 2009 at 9:31 pm

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME. Best of the night I didn’t recognize the song til my mom said it was from nina simone. excellent.

june on April 28, 2009 at 9:32 pm
51

I’m the first one to complain about his screaming, but he wasn’t screaming tonight! That was pure singing!

DonMI on April 28, 2009 at 9:32 pm
52

I totally agree with Simon tonight. Cut the theatrical comments…it’s like complaining a cow can moo. This is Adam….he is theatrical. To me, this a part of him that makes him so addictive. He truly enjoys performing and it draws me (and apparently millions of other people) in to his performance. Certainly he’s not going to please everyone…no one can please everyone. I enjoy his style and love to watch him. Even those that don’t care for his style must admit that he’s definately a burst of fresh air for Idol.

terri on April 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm
53

Just because those high notes are something most people can’t do doesn’t necessarily make them good… To each their own. Everyone complains about Gokey’s shouting or Matt’s falsetto and they don’t get their heads bitten off. How is Adam’s screaming/squealing any different?

Steph on April 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm
54

I read an article this week about the tongue thing. The guy that wrote it was a vocal coach and he said it is a technique and very difficult to master. The same article said there are very few counter tenors, which is what Adam is. Very unique!

MeLovesAdam on April 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm
55

why every week are people jumping all over Adam to give credit to the arrangement of the song? do the other contestants ever give credit for the arrangements? ummm no.

That was another brilliant performance!

Adam S. on April 28, 2009 at 9:24 pm

EXACTLY!!!

Josh on April 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm
56

this is fixed..randy declared gokey the winner..wtf! i dont actually get the hype out of danny’s performance..adam..thaw was another hit..

hardCOPY on April 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm
57

That Was Very Good, But i still prefer “Born To Be Wild”, i felt that something was missing, maybe i expect even more soul power….

NriQ on April 28, 2009 at 9:34 pm
58

Why do people feel Adam has to “give credit” for an arrangement, and no other contestant does? I am sure he would love to if given a chance. He was the only contestant that didn’t have a Ryan “sitdown” before they showed the clip. People gave him crap about ROF, and in today’s confessional he acknowledged Dylana specifically. Haters, get over it. He is brilliant, and you all are desperate to find something to hate on.

SaraVT on April 28, 2009 at 9:35 pm
59

Furthermore, Adam had said in the beginning that he had found an more “rock” arrangement. He had found, not that he created. Also, Adam gave CREDIT on the arrangements to Michael Orland, to Rickey and the Band knowing that the general public WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN otherwise.

I think he feels that the Muse’s version is fairly popular enough.

AidenMuses on April 28, 2009 at 9:36 pm

Floved it. Incredibly hard key changes and that note was absolutely incredible.

Please someone throw him some votes for me as am in the UK and can’t vote!!

pootle on April 28, 2009 at 9:39 pm

loved it, love the VAMP, incredible. what a blast of a performance.

Martha74 on April 28, 2009 at 9:40 pm
62

Anoop still got chances to give credit at the end of judge’s comments.

Why not Adam ? No idea …
this is the third time he never mentioned any credits ..
it’s kinda misleading huh ???

Elisa on April 28, 2009 at 9:41 pm

mariadonna74 on April 28, 2009 at 9:43 pm
64

Elisa, you’re like a stuck record.

Firstly as others have said, why have a go at Adam and not the others for not giving credit? Several people pointed out Kris’s arrangement for Aint No Sunshine was apparently from a little known Arkansaw band, for instance, but no-one gave him grief for not mentioning them. (And no, I’m not criticising him for it – I couldn’t care less if he acknowledged them or not)

Secondly, go listen to the Muse version again. You’ll see Adam’s was fairly different. It was closer to the Pussycat Dolls one if anything.

pootle on April 28, 2009 at 9:45 pm

a drag queen as American Idol. Anyone else see America flushing down the toilet?

pootle on April 28, 2009 at 9:46 pm
67

Steph… You are 100% right. Just because you can hit the high note Adam did tonight doesn’t make it great. It was THE WAY ADAM HIT IT without even a split second stumble, then HELD IT longer than any other of these 5 could hold a note, and even still THEN did a nice mellow-ing run downward into the finish of the song is what made it great.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:47 pm
68

For me I remember seeing Sammy Davis Jr.on tv when I was growing up.He recorded this in 1965.I think the theatrics were right up there with the way tv was back when Sammy performed back in the 60’s or 70’s variety shows.I don’t know Muse but I’ll check it out.By the way this performance left me with my chin dropped.Just a wow and a great homage..Go Adam.

Stephanie on April 28, 2009 at 9:47 pm

awww… my least favorite performance of him… but IT WAS THE BEST OF THE NIGHT…
i hate randy and kara tonight.. ugghhhh.. ehe..
i wish they had 2 songs.. i hate AI,., ^_^

adamdbest on April 28, 2009 at 9:47 pm

I LOVED it; best of night !!!, though weirdly I actually enjoyed Danny as well. Can’t believe I even said that. And for all these people obsessing over arrangement kudos…wtf?! He did not say it was his own creation, he said he was doing an arrangement with a rock edge. So he didn’t name the band, he has given credit over and over every week to others…who else does that? umm, none of them. Big deal, this week he didn’t mention names. whatever.

Laura on April 28, 2009 at 9:47 pm
71

Adam has it all!!! I am already dying to know what he’s gonna do next week!!!!!

He is a fabulous entertainer all around. I truly believe he is the best Idol contestant ever.

mariadonna74 on April 28, 2009 at 9:48 pm
72

wonderful comment ACE. You have a LOT of intellectual things to say! A lot of STRAIGHT guys even do drag. SO WHAT!? If I recall – Mic Jagger and David Bowie also did Drag. And ya know. The BIG HAIRED rock groups from the 80s practically dressed drag 24/7.

Do you have anything “better” to add to your comment!

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:49 pm
73

Sorry, but to me THIS WAS SUPER INCREDIBLE!!! He is something else. I love it when he hits those high notes & he held it forever tonight…then went down… unreal. I just LOVE THIS GUY. If you love him too…PLEASE KEEP VOTING FOR THE REST OF THE TWO HOURS. THANKS!

Susan on April 28, 2009 at 9:51 pm
74

while i do like adam usually, tonight he didn’t deliver it for me. maybe because i have so high respect for rat pack standards. oh well.

i would love to watch an adam lambert concert, it would most definitely be fun and thrilling, but i would have to say i wouldn’t be buying his album. he’s good to watch but not good enough to listen to.

sani on April 28, 2009 at 9:51 pm
75

oh! i hate all the HATERS!!!
it’s obvious that you guys are just jealous and insecure… ADAM’s the best! no matter what you say YOU CANT PUT HIM DOWN..

“he didn’t give credits?”
What’s the matter? can’t find anything against him that’s why you are saying all these craps??? c’mon… just backoff,,,

adamdbest on April 28, 2009 at 9:51 pm

Always the best and over the bar he has set the standard.Truly amazing the rest do not compare.Adam is the very best!

DJ: I guess American Idol doesn’t mean American Idol; American’s young people looking for people to emulate. Talent: incredible. American Idol…mmmm

ace on April 28, 2009 at 9:53 pm
79

Sorry – I have ONE OTHER THING to say to ACE…

The PROBLEM with America is that people see a person for their OUTWARD appearance and NOT their talent or inner beauty. When I live in a country that judges it’s citizens for their talents and NOTHING ELSE, I will be THRILLED! I can’t even get married in my state, because Florida thought it was even NECESSARY to pass a law saying that same sex couples cannot be married. That, even though, OUR marriages are likely to be based MORE on love than MOST marriages in our shotgun wedding / I’m pregnant state.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:54 pm

hi all.

check out THIS singing… no other idol comes close…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJYyqzUr6jU

that’s for all of you who think adam “screams” (sic (and look up sic if you don’t know what that means, not being a snob, just in case you dont know…) )

singer1 on April 28, 2009 at 9:54 pm
81

Adam was awesome, per usual. I love that he swaggered down the steps.

But seriously, you idiots dissing his high notes – try them yourselves and listen to how horrible you sound and how effing hard it is to do them (especially for the guys). Now imagine doing that with the brilliant control Adam Lambert has in from of thousands of people. Just because you have no sense of musical style doesn’t mean Danny is better than Adam – it just means that you’re all idiots.

when you have children you will sing a different tune,no pun intended

another adamtastic. performance. loved the way he came down the stairs, its amazing how he can do something so simple and it just blows the rest of the competition out of the water. its getting to the point in the competition now where they have to pull out all the stops and that note adam held for soooooo long was just showing what he is capable of. before this is over your gonna see alot more of his amazing stage performance and vocal ability. this is why we are adam fans. he thrills us like no other, he would put on a fantastic show and his voice is magical. i luv adam and everyone that knows me can tell you that! ROCK ON ADAM!!!!!!!

adamcrazee on April 28, 2009 at 9:57 pm
85

If and when I have children I will be 100% happy no matter which path their choose. It’s NOT up to me to TELL them how to be. I would want them to know I will be supportive no matter what.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 9:58 pm
86

Yes PLEASE. Adam does his best to give credit where due. I never believed that he needed to acknowledge either Gary Jules for Mad World or Muse for Feeling Good, because to me, both are very well known versions… and he has always said, also about the Ring of Fire arrangement, that he ‘found’ it, not ‘created’ it. In addition to that, whenever its an original arrangement, he ALWAYS interrupts the judges comments to give credit where due: whether its Michael Orland or Play that Funky Music. And is this particular issue always with Adam only? So the rest aren’t expected to credit the arrangements they used?

Also, the whole ’screaming’ critique is just ridiculously over used! So many of us pan the judges/contestants for being repetitive every week, so yeah, we should take note. You’ve expressed your hate for the screaming, what, 5-6 times now? So give it a rest. If you haven’t got anything new to say, then perhaps, don’t say anything for once?

Lastly, how has Adam become any more ‘predictable’ than the rest of the contestants? Obviously he can’t come up with something COMPLETELY different every single week! No one does that. I don’t think its possible for someone with a style so defined as Adam’s yet he still manages to pull it off (ToMT, Mad World). But he comes up with amazing entertaining performances every week. And thats what its about. As far as theatrical is concerned, PFFT. Thats the Game right now people. At a Music event like the Grammys, I always prefer the OTT theatrical crazy performances over sleepy ballads. Just my opinion.

Sorry for going on and on.. its my first post ever, and I felt I just had to say something this time.

ZQ on April 28, 2009 at 10:02 pm
87

Why do people like Adam? I will tell you why, because the masses cannot think for themselves. Whenever I hear him screech an excessively high note I cringe in shock that ANYONE could like his cabaret nonsense. While he seems humble, he cannot seem to fathom the idea of hitting low notes and just allowing the song to flow; free of unnecessary runs and bellowing ear piercing harpy notes. I will not purchase his music and when his first song hits the airwaves and there are no longer judges telling the audience what to think, I believe America will change the channel in order to find better fair. Reminiscent of Taylor Swift and Ruben Studdard, Adam’s career will not venture far past AI Season Nine’s curtain call.

Annoyed on April 28, 2009 at 10:03 pm
88

Pretty good — but it just seems that he always just seems to over-do it a bit, and starts to get too close to Von Smith territory.

I just wish that he would dial it down somewhat.

GO DJ JAYITO!!! hands down

hardCOPY on April 28, 2009 at 10:07 pm

There is something we need to keep in mind. What did Lady Gaga do when she was on the show? She went WAY OVER THE TOP and it was the only remotely amazing guest performance on idol. Everyone else has been AWFUL this season. I think LIVE performances need to have theatrics. Madonna = theatrics / Michael Jackson = theatrics / Janet Jackson = theatrics / Cher = theatrics. Let’s face it. Adam is what he is and being theatrical will always be the case.

MeLovesAdam on April 28, 2009 at 10:10 pm
93

Annoyed – Adam showed that he CAN do exactly what you claim he can’t… show a sensitive / heartfelt (ALL LOW NOTE) performance. “TRACKS OF MY TEAMS” and “MAD WORLD”! hello!

And – Taylor Swift? Isn’t she like the most popular thing in female pop music right now? She BLEW David Archuleta out the water this year with their album sales! I love it when people say things they just have NO KNOWLEDGE about.

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 10:10 pm
94

pretty good krbcan??!!
Yeah, right. pretty good described everyone else tonight,(noone tanked, thankfully) but Adam was electrifying! I’d buy his cd in a heartbeat. I already replay his tunes over and over on my iPod – keep skipping over my old favorites cause I can’t get enough of the sound of Adam’s voice.
He really is the best…that’s it, he just is. Hope everyone’s voting!!!!

HELLO…

“Fearless is the second studio album by American country pop artist Taylor Swift, and was released on November 11, 2008 on Big Machine Records. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 592,304 copies in its first week, the best first-week sales for a female artist in 2008.” (wikipedia)

AND – I don’t like her AT ALL! so don’t EVEN go there!

I am waiting for that FINAL MOMENT … the last time you can download the entire catalog for a contestant, which is when I will buy EVERYONE live and studio performance of Adam’s. EVERY ONE!

You may LOVE Adam, You may HATE Adam, but no one is ambivalent about Adam. He’s a virtual magnet for our imagination. Go ahead, google any of the other AI contestants. I dare you! NO ONE, I mean NOT ONE of the last five are generating this kind of buzz. Every TUE, after Adam performs, all the pop blogs are a twitter. You may love him, you may hate him, but this is a rising SUPERSTAR. Ever see the press on Elvis in the 50s? He defined controversy. Adam has roused something in us all! Like maybe TIGER in golf, you see something like this once in a generation.

Elsa “the broken record” is also sounding like a broken record in Kris Allen’s thread except she has nothing but glowing reviews for him *rolls eyes*. Adam is in another league, period. I saw shades of Freddie Mercury in his performance. I can’t wait to see what he’ll do next week.

LOL @ Glenda. In any event… Matt is really bringing up the REAR in dial idol. I think tomorrow is a NO brainer. Bottom 2? why bother?

DJ Jayito on April 28, 2009 at 10:21 pm
103

Also, was it my imagination, or did FOX air a commerical as a preview for next week’s episode that only featured Matt, Allison, Danny, and Adam. Sabotage much? producers r against kris cause he is is adam/danny finale threat

kay on April 28, 2009 at 10:22 pm
104

Yeah, DJ–I just about always agree with Simon–but not on Matt tonight. I really like the kid. But, after listening again to the MP3–yikes. I think Simon will regret what he said after he re-listens, like he always does.

Glenda on April 28, 2009 at 10:24 pm
105

hey “”ANNOYED” i’m not some teeny bopper nuts over the next new thing, i’m almost 50 years old and i know good music when i hear it. just because adam has millions of fans doesn’t mean we are all “children of the corn” mesmerized and hypnotized.we will all make sure adam does well because we will go to his concerts and buy his music. just go ahead and stick with whatever you are listening to. we will go with the next big thing. adam lambert!!!!! adam has touched a cord in people, he is timeless……

adamcrazee on April 28, 2009 at 10:25 pm

Ace, Adam is a great example of what an American should be. He is poised, polite, and he seems to work hard for what he wants. You’re an idiot and I love how people who have negative things to say about Adam have nothing better to do than post in his thread. Go vote for your favorite and let us bask in his glow.

jc on April 28, 2009 at 10:28 pm
109

You’re right DJ. Taylor Swift does have a lovely voice. And before you state one does not have musical knowledge, explain to me where you arrive at that conclusion? Perhaps your argument (while unsubstantiated) pertains to my credentials? While I do not hold my degree in theatrical or musical studies, I do not believe you do either (but if you do I apologize in advance for doubting you). Perhaps you believe Adam to be a soprano while I believe him to be a high range alto who forgoes his lower register? In either instance, or whatever the case may be, you should respect others opinions. I am sure you desire for Adam to win, so what opinion do you hold of those who wish Kris, Danny, Matt, or Allison to win? I hope you do not believe they are foolish (or less knowledgeable)for routing for their favorites. I myself just enjoy the show and hold no real favorites, but I do believe that too much credit is given to Adam and far to many advantages (7 closing performances?) are provided to him by the producers as well.

Annoyed on April 28, 2009 at 10:28 pm

ZQ, you took the words right out of my mouth. All the Adam haters are just mad because the judges pimp him so much and they take it out on Adam, which is totally unfair.

Heather on April 28, 2009 at 10:28 pm
111

this is ridiculous. i’m beginning to think that some of you are OBSESSED with adam. You people are exactly why so many stars can’t have normal lives.
it’s ok to throw in your two cents, but when you start taking adam criticism to heart, then you should be concerned. Let’s face it, everyone is not going to like everyone. Go read a book or something.

Alex on April 28, 2009 at 10:29 pm

As far as my first comment goes I meant Taylor Hicks not Swift. I fully apologize for my mistake. Taylor Swift is a lovely girl.

If Anne Rice’ Lestat should be made into a movie, Adam should star in it. He is like a vampire. Sooo preternatural (mwha ha ha)

june on April 28, 2009 at 10:33 pm
114

Actually Annoyed…
Adam has had exactly TWO closing spots since the final 13 started. Mad World and Tonight. Maybe you just think he was last because he was the most memorable??

Syndy on April 28, 2009 at 10:37 pm
115

I think Adam is a great guy! Genuinely sweet! I do agree that he needs a bit more variety. Its great that he knows who he is and isn’t afraid to show it, but I agree that he sounds screechy at times. It would be nice to hear some variety in his lower register but he shouldn’t compromise his style. Go Adam! Plus constructive criticism should be given to him so he can improve a little. No one is perfect:P

You couldn’t figure out they meant ‘Hicks’ not ‘Swift’?!?! Come on now. Anywho, Be nice cuz Adam would! ADAM RULES!!!! I think he’s ten times sexier with the slick hair btw. Keep it up Adam!

Annoyed, I too hold a degree in music theater. I am surprised at your lack of appreciation for what is truly a rare gift and/or trained talent in vocal performance for a male vocalist. Very few men indeed can produce the tonal quality, wide range, and absolute control with such apparent ease. I don’t care whether it’s singing opera, standards, jazz, or pop. You won’t find many who can match his vocal prowess. So bag your judgementalisms about the American listening public.

kevin on April 28, 2009 at 10:46 pm
121

I did not like his performance. He obviously sang perfectly but as usual, it’s way over the top. I think he should’ve sang “My funny valentine” instead. It would’ve complimented his over singing better.

Canadian AI Fan on April 28, 2009 at 10:48 pm

Adam was good
loved how he brought his super high long note down like that. It was held a bit long tho- but i can understand why he did that

ANON on April 28, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Your Literally Kidding Me .

First, Let Me Get This Out of the Way : Adam Lambert Is The Best, Hear Me Correctly Now, THE BEST Contestant American Idol Has Ever, Ever Had, In The Histroy Of American Idol . This Performance Just Adds To the List Of Songs That He Shot Out Of the Park .

Now , Who Gives A Shit If He Didnt Credit Muse, Its Not Like Muse Cares . And Whoever Thinks That He Is ripping Off Muse and Just doesnt Care, You Have Huge Problems . Adam Lambert Is One Of The Most Humble Contestants Ever, He Says Thank you ATLEAST 6 Times A Night . I Have Counted As High As 14 Thank Yous from Him Before . And Really, Whoever Has The Balls To Say That Matt Giarad Sings Better Than Adam Lambert, I Would Love To Meet, Cause They would Be the Most Retard Person On the Planet, And i Genuinely Feel Bad For Them .

Get Your Little Miniscule Minds Out Of your Asses And Recognize A REAL Talent .

elw on April 28, 2009 at 11:09 pm
127

I’d have to agree it was screaming. But it was definitely the most beautiful scream I have ever heard. Adam does scream, but his screams are trained it’s controlled and he does it with style not just regular screaming. He’s a wonderful performer and a brilliant singer. Let’s face it, Adam can sing ANYTHING.

brookeflower19 on April 28, 2009 at 11:12 pm
128

I dont care what anyone says, he is magnificient!
More variety? what?!?! He is doing something different every week! I cant believe some people have the nerve to say that, if anything he has been anything but predictable! And about judges giving him credit…well its a music competition and are they going to tell him he sucks if he sang well to please the other contestants?!?! hmm such a hard question. He has us entertained (which is important) and also shows his incredible vocal ability every week. He has not done one bad or boring performance. I’m not dissing the other contestants, they get credit when they deserve it and sometimes when they dont. That’s life. Adam Rocks!

ital885 on April 28, 2009 at 11:16 pm

One of my fav. songs! – Adam really had the chops for it!

Kay on April 28, 2009 at 11:19 pm
130

oh ya and ps stop dissing about giving credit to copyrights. If you are to be invested in a show, you should maybe read articles that discuss their song choices. Adam always steps up to the plate and gives credit when due. What about the others? Oh ya and it also doesnt help they always give adam less time to perform and talk then the other contestants. Talk about favoritism, cutting a favorites performance time…his time to shine. Get informed

ital885 on April 28, 2009 at 11:20 pm
131

I’d pay top dollar to see this man perform on Broadway, but can honestly say, I don’t think I would ever buy his CD.

I’ve only enjoyed two of his songs to date: Mad World and Tears of a Clown.

He needs to tune it down some. He is giving many of us a headache.

Beth on April 28, 2009 at 11:22 pm

Speechless at his brilliance, a true entertainer ofcors !!! Adam and Allison for the finale.

Wini on April 28, 2009 at 11:27 pm
133

I like Adam, but he received the pimp spot (no shocker) and he’s being overly pimped by the judges and the fans. He’s original, but it’s getting old. He’s an internet fad, kind of like the star wars kid, but instead of a light saber he uses his voice.

Again on April 28, 2009 at 11:29 pm
134

Adam either does vocal acrobatics that take away from the song or he does one note performances. He seems like a nice guy and I enjoy his energy but not his singing.

rlherrick on April 28, 2009 at 11:33 pm
135

As always, I’m not shocked to see so many haters coming to watch videos for contestants that they apparently despise. Why are you here? If you’re a Kris or Danny fanboy then just go away.. seriously. Yeah I’m talking to you Steph, comment 10. I too like Muse but Adam did a good job with it. Just have to stir the pot don’t ya?

nick.todd on April 28, 2009 at 11:36 pm
136

Love him…but not the end of this performance. sheesh a little to OTT for me. And what is with the lighting?? Why do the go so over the top with him? Great vocal though!

Rickey if you put the comparison videos up for Matt why not the other contestants? What about when AJ and Leslie did this song? I think there are others too but I can’t remeber. It’s a little disapointing!

Angela on April 28, 2009 at 11:37 pm
137

Sorry, but I grew up in the sixties, those days ppl perform a song, not just sing it. Adam bring back the good old days. I feel I am watching a concert in the 60s 70s. Absolutely stunning!

Broadway, dramatic, whatever, Adam is the best of ALL AI seasons. ….and I LOVE THAT WHITE SATIN SUIT! Isn’t that what the audience wanted him to wear on Disco Night!

Ferarri on April 28, 2009 at 11:50 pm
138

I missed most of the show but got here in time to hear Adam. At first I thought he was great. After watching the entire show twice, I’ve got to say it too much of a good thing. The beginning of his song was fine, but it soon became “cheesy” sounding and I hated the long note with his tongue extended (grotesque!) I think Danny and Kris were good followed by Allison and Matt. For me, Adam was definitely within the top three, but where I’d place him, I don’t know.

BellaB on April 28, 2009 at 11:52 pm
139

That vocal was wonderful and that one note was just incredible. No one else in the competition is close to him. He’s given every kind of performance, up tempo, ballads and done well. He can sing anything.

The only thing he has going against him that I can see is that expectations for him are scarily high every week. He’s so good that people have set the bar high for him.

Natalia on April 28, 2009 at 11:56 pm

Sorry for going of the subject but I have to address Ace and his comments. I am a 47 year old mother of 3 teenagers. I was raised in a strict Roman Catholic family. I have lived in Utah my whole life and my husband has family that are devout LDS. My mother in law is in her 70’s and she is the most accepting person I know. At times she has watched her children and grandchildren marry people outside their religion, race, have children out of wedlock and yes even be in same sex relationships. Through out all of this she has accepted their partners without question. If the relationship ends she still treats them as one of the family. Never has she made an ill comment towards any of them. If someone of her age and christian beliefs can be so accepting of others why can’t everyone. Whether you agree with the lifestyle or not there is no reason to hate. My children have friends from all races, religions and lifestyles. I am proud of my kids for this as is their Grandmother. I think that younger generation as a whole are much more christian in their thinking than people like you. I feel sorry for those that have you in their life on a daily basis and thank God that he has spared me from knowing people like you.

Cdj on April 29, 2009 at 12:03 am
141

Yeah, it’s kinda sad how some of the Adam haters insist on posting multiple times…so desperate. If you have a fave, your time might be better spent spreading some love for them.

Anyway, I L-O-V-E-D Adam’s performance. I love that song, and he didn’t disappoint me. It was fantastic. It was so awesomely cool. He’s a star. I adore him. I’m glad Jamie liked him so much, too. Jamie’s cool. Good luck Adam! BTW, you looked effin FINE tonight. Not that you don’t usually, but WOW. Work it.

@65 ace YOU r a FIdiot. so what if he does drag…if you knew any music history you would know some of the most if not best music artist were flaming 1) Bowie 2) Freddy Mercury 3) Kurt Cobain {bi actually} 4) elton John and a plethora of other closeters.

Everyone was really good even Matt. Though Adam was clearly the best…2/3 best performance behind Ring of Fire and Track Tears.

Adam is the best singer, artist, and performer..not sure if he will win tho…just not what all these TaylorHickJezusFreaks vote for in the end

RockyRoksOn on April 29, 2009 at 12:29 am
147

The best of the night. Actually, for me, it was Adam’s BEST performance of the season, technically speaking. Totally flawless vocals, and a great song choice with a beautiful melody.

Wow, tonight, these two -Adam and Danny- really took a giant leap ahead of the rest. It seems that an Adam-Danny finale is inevitable at this point.
And not that Allison is bad or anything (btw, did I mention that these 3 are the only true singers left in the competition? ), it’s just that those 2 stepped up the game so much tonight that they overshadowed Allison’s otherwise great performance.

gmusic on April 29, 2009 at 12:33 am
148

OH and on those high notes………….

They are amazing but they are overplayed…kinda like Mariah Carrey and her hi end 8 octive note she OVER DID in her early careery

RockyRoksOn on April 29, 2009 at 12:33 am

I thought Adam was amazing…again! I agree we all have such high expectations for him but he always pulls through by meeting and exceeding those expectations. Guy looks hot & sings amazing EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

Dorena on April 29, 2009 at 12:34 am
150

Now THAT’s entertainment! I’d buy tickets to see this guy. I haven’t been crazy about every performance, but his vocal control is quite amazing, and this song really showed it. Thanks Rickey, for watching AI so I don’t have to.

hesterprune on April 29, 2009 at 12:38 am

I always think he’s so weird, but also weirdly like his performances. Quite odd. He is definitely different.

jy24 on April 29, 2009 at 12:40 am
152

I don’t know..I like Adam, but those of you who say that he’s the best singer in AI history are going overboard (or just hardcore metal fanatics). Take away his screams (which are impressive), and you have vocals that are less impressive than many of the contestants idol has had. My 2 cents.

Sen on April 29, 2009 at 12:41 am
153

damn i like this guy
but it´s MUSE! my favorite band ever so i have to take the muse vibe lol

marcela on April 29, 2009 at 12:49 am
154

I try not to get involved in this stuff, but it’s late and my defenses are down. So here I am joining the argument:

I’m a singer. As in I get paid to do it. Nightly. Paid well–living very comfortably in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Without needing a “day job.” I’m not the best ever–certainly can’t touch Adam–but I’m good. Have a four year Bachelor’s Degree in it. So please, assume I at least sorta know what I’m talking about….

Adam screams. Sometimes–when appropriate. Ya know, like a rock song–in the heat of the moment–Satisfaction, etc. I think it’s pretty f—ing phenomenal. Especially considering he’ll jump right back to the melody with out a rasp in his voice. So if you don’t like that, i get it.

Tonight, however, like so many other nights he is accused of it, he did not scream. Is it high? Hell yes. Is it loud? Powerhouse. Is it screaming? Well, it’s the most pure, on pitch, vibrato filled scream I’ve ever heard if it is. I mean, it’s technically impossible to add vibrato to a note that isn’t supported correctly. Also for the record, if you’re complaining about him “never” singing in his lower register, listen to everything but the last note of tonight’s performance. That is Adam’s lower register. He’s a tenor of the -enth degree. I know, I’ve worked with him.

If you hate the “screaming” or “screeching” or whatever you think it is; turn off the set, hit mute, fast forward your tivo. That’s what I do with other contestants. And I’ll tell you, it’s saved me soooo much time from having to go b–ch on their fan pages.

buddy on April 29, 2009 at 1:04 am

He is just spectacular… The way that looooong note ended? Unbelievable.

uhmmm on April 29, 2009 at 1:30 am
158

First of all, totally awesome performance. His control of his voice is amazing. No, it is not screetching, screaming or anything else like that – the fact is that he is a countertenor so the notes that he is singing are virtually impossible for the rest of us to even think of reaching. Lastly, he is an entertainer which is what he did tonight. The others sang great, but that’s all they did. I would rather be entertained by Adam than watch someone just stand there and sing. Your time would be better spent promoting the contestant you like rather than running down Adam, who by the way has more talent in his pinky than most of us have in our entire bodies!!

Tracy on April 29, 2009 at 1:31 am
159

Oh–and one more thing (why can’t I stop myself?)

The Adam Lambert I know loves controversy. Loves making people talk, stirring the pot. So those of you who want to hate…? Keep on giving him what he wants. I’m sure he appreciates it along with all the love he gets.

Isn’t that the mark of a superstar? Keeps turning it out no matter what anyone else says or thinks?

buddy on April 29, 2009 at 1:32 am
160

I agree with #86: ZQ – RIGHT!!! Completely right!!! You are sooo right!

I love love love love Adam and I feel and believe he’s amazing!!! He has God given talents! It’s soooooo cool!

I agree with #154 – Buddy!!! You’re RIGHT too!!! However, I really don’t think it’s screams/screaming!!! Neither do most of my friends that watch it!!!

ADAM IS UNBELIEVEABLE AMAZING AND SHOULD WIN AMERICAN IDOL – - HE’S AMAZING!! AND DESERVE IT!!!

Alyssa - PA on April 29, 2009 at 1:38 am
161

Adam is the best. The arrangement was similar to, but still different from Muse’s. So don’t complain. Muse is the best band on earth. Adam is the best solo artist on earth. The End.

Laura on April 29, 2009 at 1:44 am
162

The opening was pretty…he gave us the ever-popular tender Lamebert but, oh boy, the ending is audiogasmic Flamebert explosion all the way! How more awesome can you be, Adam?

And the neon pink staircase? Genius. Ryan Seacrest would kill to strut like that!

silverfangs on April 29, 2009 at 2:15 am
163

I’ll tell you what I’ve been telling my friends for weeks now:

“With the others you know you are watching a singing competition but with Adam you feel like you are in a certified recording star concert already.”

Showstopper.

His Tracks of my tears is my most favorite but this does not disappoint. I just hope Adam does something more unexpected because he’s falling for the “upbeat this week – slow next week” routine. It’s too Broadway, agree. I felt like I was watching Chicago but that’s what you get with Adam Lambert: Dramatic Extravaganza.

Oh and I love when after doing his thing, when the last note ends he stands smiling there amidst the cheers and applause quietly waiting for the judges’ comments. Just shows that he appreciates the support but still is fighting for survival and knows that what the judges says matters so he stays put to listen. Humble with awesome talent.

Adam you make me feel good.

mac n cheese on April 29, 2009 at 2:18 am
164

WOW. I am so tired of the references to “screaming” your ignorance is tiresome and those of you who insist on calling it that, only demonstrates how clueless you are as to the technical skills this guy has spent a lifetime honing.

Now as for tonight’s performance, if you have ever had the chance to see a real Las Vegas performance you’d know that Adam had the vibe right. From the entrance to the postures to the over the top note at the end. The Rat Pack were Vegas and back then it was all over the top.

IdoL-WorShiPer on April 29, 2009 at 2:39 am
165

Excellent point,IdoL-WorShiPer, I had not thought of that angle.

lotus on April 29, 2009 at 2:42 am
166

Adam’s voice was in fine form tonight – I really enjoyed his take on this song. But the stagecraft was so much more elaborate and dramatic for him compared to the other contestants. Is this a credit to his experience on the stage? Do all of the contestants give input as to how they want to appear on stage, the choreography, the lighting, etc Or is this all the work of the directors/producers? If it is, I am sure they are having a grand time with Adam because he knows how to fill a stage, but tonight just seemed a bit over the top. Adam may well win, but he has not won yet. The grand staircase just seemed a bit premature – better saved for a finale. But I don’t hold that against Adam at all – he knows how to walk down in style.

canzonetta on April 29, 2009 at 2:51 am
167

I didn’t care for the stairs entrance. Most of the vocal reminded me of how Shirley Bassey might read the song which was great but I wasn’t thrilled with the ending. Unfortunately, over all, it was an indulgent performance but Adam is clearly the front runner by a country mile.

druzilla on April 29, 2009 at 2:53 am

it’s just weird when people keep saying adam doing the same thing over and over again with the screaming,etc.
The problem is, are they expecting Adam to be Matt Giraud?Danny Gokey?Kris Allen? Or become other people?
It’s his unique characteristic and make him different from his other competitor. So, what’s wrong with the screaming really ? As log as it’s in the right note. Still bothered with it ? Well, just turn off the TV. Done.

Elisa, you’re like a stuck record.

Firstly as others have said, why have a go at Adam and not the others for not giving credit?

I thinks this is what you english-spoken people called it as a courtesy or a decency – mentioning other people’s art,reference, etc ?

I’m sorry for being a stuck record.

Elisa on April 29, 2009 at 6:24 am

ZQ – I totally agree with you. I’m still wondering how ADAM can be so many singers in one. He’s just so amazing.

I’m glad Ricky posted this wonderful video as we cannot watch the show until few hours later. By the way, I’ve figured out a way to vote for him and I’ll try it.

For Steph who complained about Adam’s squealing, hope you got the swine flu. I’m obsessed with Adam fever and don’t you mess with me.

I was so happy he didn’t scream that glory note like he usually does! I hate it so much when he does that high pitch shriek, but this time it was not shrieky at all.

Hi all,
I just discovered this, maybe some of you have known all along. A website called masterclasslady and she gives professional vocal critiques of all the idols every week. for those who don’t “get” Adam–go there for a really spot-on reason for all the excitement over him. and then compare to what she says to the others. loved it myself.

jael on April 29, 2009 at 7:47 am
183

just another note about Adam’s screeching– master class lady explains his very unique and RARE ability to combine head and chest tones in his upper register. He produces a seamless blend from the bottom of his range to the top, and when he moves to his upper register he does not use strictly head tones and so there is no break in the transition. This is very difficult to do and takes much training and practice. Adam has paid his dues.

jael on April 29, 2009 at 7:51 am

Buddy, thank you SO much for posting last night! PLEASE post here often!

I may not be a professional singer, but I have studied voice for years, and though I can’t always execute it I appreciate and understand great vocal technique.

Every week I am amazed at the skill and finesse Adam displays with his instrument. I had actually written him a letter telling him that a lot of his fans would love a big old fashioned “Glory Note” without the Rock scream. I highly doubt my letter was a motivation, but it was great to see it anyway and he did not disappoint! As you said, the amount of skill and control it takes to belt, then add vibrato, and THEN pull it back and keep it in tune without taking a breath is great. It makes me think of Whitney Houston’s big note in “I Will Always Love You.” Also He DID show his lower register through 80 % of the song. He really is a master class in vocal skill, and an incredibly unique talent. A lot of male singers today are baritones with “studio voices,” so I get why some people don’t appreciate his upper range. I just can’t wait to hear him in person and buy his first album.

Please be careful Rocky #146–
I am a 49 year old Jesus Freak myself and I love Adam Lambert. Please don’t blame the Christians for any lack of votes for Adam or even support for other singers. I even bought myself an Adam Lambert t-shirt and have all his songs and videos on my i-pod. I’m a classically trained musician and deeply appreciate musical excellence. Adam’s sexuality vesus Danny’s spirituality means nothing to me. In fact, I find Danny very annoying.

My wife was listening in the other room and asked me who the woman was that was singing…..lol.

I also think that those high notes come off as screams and that has become his trademark, one that I hate. He does what he does well, it just isn’t something I would buy.

Frankly I think the best COMMERCIAL potential sits with Kris Allen.

Thank you Buddy and SaraVT for your posts…you have expressed in technical terms what the rest of us can only experience viscerally …that Adam has the most amazing vocal talent I have ever heard..
I was 13 when Elvis started his career in 1956 and I never in my wildest dreams thought that anyone would ever surpass him in sheer beauty of voice face body character and soul….!!!!
I just love him to bits and can’t wait to follow his career (even hoping to cross the Atlantic to see him if he does not come to uk)
America’s standing in the world will soar as it has with Barack Obama if Adam is voted your American Idol.

suebella on April 29, 2009 at 9:50 am

Adam only works if you are looking at him. His studios falter.

I want to see him succeed, just the way I want to see this entire top 5 succeed, but he has got to be able to put out music for people’s ears. Some of his notes are just simply OTT.

Last night, he was impressive. However, he sent my dog running.

I just listened to Muse’s version and it sucked. I love this song and they ruined it by singing into a megaphone. Adam’s version didn’t not sound like theirs. He is way beyond them both technically and entertainment wise.

TNT Explosive Surperb!!!!! You can’t deny this man his amazing voice!!! He’s got it all!! And for the people who think he is screaming his notes; Are the deaf?!!! His range is incredible and sung not screamed. He wails those big notes with scuh emotion and power. Most singers cannot even come close to his range. It’s so good to finally see someone who stands out like this. He is a “Once in a lifetime” talent for sure. We are witnessing his-story and his launching pad to an incredible career.

Elayne on April 29, 2009 at 10:19 am

I’m usually impressed with the presence Adam has and his style but last night I guess I found it lacking – like the magic was gone for me. He definitely has the whole stage presence thing down but I was with Randy – it felt too staged last night.

His high notes were great the first 10 times but to me it gets too gimmicky like Mariah Carey showing all her vocal abilities in every song the first part of her career… It gets annoying. Even thought it takes immense talent to do what Adam does, it’s getting to be overkill and I don’t know that I’d be able to listen to an entire album of his songs or even a couple of songs in a row. One song a week, ok

jb949 on April 29, 2009 at 10:28 am

It’s been very interesting (and rewarding) reading the critiques of Adam by those who are technically and vocally knowledgeable. For myself, the moment I saw and heard him at the AI interview where he was accepted, it was apparent to me that he was something very special – and not just his voice. According to those who know him, Adam has great intelligence. That I believe is obvious in his manner and song interpretations. But he has something even more valuable (and elusive) – and that is charm. As Kara and Paula have noted, he makes one happy. His joy in what he is doing – such as the wonderful smile at the end of “Born to be Wild” is palpable. Tie that together with a beautiful physical appearance and you have a man with spectacular gifts – the gods have smiled on him.

Lee on April 29, 2009 at 11:16 am

Adam is good, but we already know that (everybody believes he is just because he can scream his way out)…and we already what to expect week after week…Adam doesn’t thrill me at all! Again, he’s gonna create all this theatrical shit week after week and scream with all his might..and not to mention he’s getting CREEPY…he’s not a feel good singer he’s definitely a CREEPY singer…and I guess creepy people gets him…weird…eccentric…i don’t get it at all! And yet, they still think he is great…but as for me, I don’t think he is a well-rounded artist…can he do guitars while singing (or screaming)? can he do piano? can he ukelele? etc…I don’t think so…guess not! All he can do is trick us with his theatrical performance and his screaming shit! CREEPY, same ol’ same ‘ol, for sure he’s gonna scream his way out again til the finals…and for sure CREEPY people will love it again! No wonder, COOK, Jordin, Daughtry and not to mention Jaime Fox prefer someone else…(that guy is the true artist in every sense of the word – you know who I’m talking about) =p

When I hear Adam sing, all I can picture is feathers and fake boobs. I swear he sounds like a drag queen straight outta Vegas.His fake high pitch scream is unoriginal, annoying, and he broke 2 glasses in my kitchen during his high note ending. Dramatic Broadway,that’s all it is. He won’t do albums, he’ll open for Wayne Newton or something. He sucks.

Jason on April 29, 2009 at 11:29 am

I might not understand this, but it does seem to me that only Adam people would be here. If you like Danny, why not make a comment under his name. I don’t appreciate haters – especially when it comes to Adam. The guy was flawless last night.

Susan on April 29, 2009 at 12:03 pm
204

Adam was once again brilliant. It was a Vegas/Broadway style performance, similar to the way Elvis was in his final days.

Adams confidence hasn’t wavered and he vocal control has been the best AI has ever experienced. He’s one of a kind unlike the rest which are a dime a dozen. Its unfortunate that some viewers will never understand what quality singing is when they hear it nor appreciate it.

I think its immature for Danny/Kris supporters bashing Adam in every silly inconceivable way possible. Which is ironic because it just makes them sound like “hypocrites”, funny…that word seams to follow them everywhere. You would think they get a clue and learn from it. Not one of the other contestants have every given credit to anyone…..every week they take credit for others work even the stuff Adam has helped them with.

Glad to hear Simon call Danny on it finally.

BTW…..there is a difference between religion and spirituality. Adam is a very spiritual person…only he lives it and doesn’t preach it to get votes. Kris seems spiritual and laid back, Danny not spiritual but religious, preachy, and arrogant. Some should warn him about the ignorance of pointing and finger wagging at judges.

desperation can only mean one thing. hes good.

try harder will ya? shout out all that anger towards how adam doesn’t acknowledge the artists, yeah shout it out. feels good doesnt it? yeah. shout out how u hate his ‘in-tune-screaming’. yeah. scream at the fact that hes sooo theatrical, and ‘creepy’ and how he broke ur two cheap glasses (which i’m assuming, got stuck in ur asshole) with his end note. hmm
did i miss out anything?
please let me know.

losers.

kittyeatdog on April 29, 2009 at 12:53 pm

I think it’s a telltale sign that Adam has the “IT” factor by the number of comments he gets on this website. Usually more than twice the number as anyone else. It is too bad that those who do not appreciate him choose to bash him in very ugly, prejudiced ways. That’s a sad reflection on our world today. This is a singing competition and he has clearly outsung the others. Adam will win, he will be one of the top selling artists coming out of Idol, and you critics will probably be off insulting someone else by then.

A jeezusFreak is the american version of sharia-law fanatics.

Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against christians — recovering catholalisism myself. The freaks i refer to are the ones that hide behind christ to spew their hate and intelorance…kinda ironic given that christ is supposed to be the embodiement of tolerance and love.

Speaking of love…what will Adam sing on Rock and Roll…I would love for him to do a Queen song, and i hope he doesnt to Elvis

ACE,
You sure have upset some people with your drag queen comment..But what I don’t think you understand is that Adam Lambert is an actor.a performer, an antertainer. He has not once brought up his sexual preference, or even “acted gaY” (whatever that would be ) on AI the whole time he has been on the show. He has simply performed what he does. He is certainly the most talented , most mesmorizing, most professional singer they have ever had on the show..he understands entertainment and stage presence (lets not forget Lady GaGa’s stage performance). So why pick on Adam, All people have good to produce in life..If you want to e such a judgemental peson just remember this “he who hath not sinned may cast the first stone” and Above all commandments, “love your fellow man and neighbor.as though he were your brother”. Now stop being such a homophobe and enjoy the entertainment Adam is giving you..It’ judgemental people like you that are putting “America in the toilet” with your hate.
What a pessimistic view you have..Life isa beautiful and happiness is a frame of mind..I hope youv’e learned from this!!

I love you Adam Lambert..You make my spine tingle you are such a powerful voice and presence.

Josera on April 29, 2009 at 6:13 pm

MeLovesAdam on April 29, 2009 at 7:32 pm
224

This taken from another blog (yes I visit Adams website last) which I found enlightening..”The “smug” comments are a matter perception. It depends on how you see Danny – and I think that’s what is happening. People who don’t like Danny (by way of the early “pimping” and playing on his sob story, or overt awareness of his Christian faith) now interpret every expression, smile, movement or lyric according to how they see Danny. At this point – Danny doesn’t have to do a thing; he could just stand on the stage and smile, and people would judge him according to their paradigm. It’s human nature; we think we know exactly how a person is by our impression. And we also judge according to ‘who we want to win’. We tend to trod down the figure which represent ‘opposition’ to who we want to win. Danny is the nemesis of Adam – because he threatens to win. If you want Adam to win, Danny represents the ‘villan’. I find most people who like Adam hate on Danny. And those who like Danny hate on Adam. It’s a natural evolution of competition. Truth be told – competitive natures aside – Danny and Adam are both wicked good singers.”
Besides, I visit all the blogs because I don’t have a favorite; I like them all.

Weekly, in anticipation of “THE Adam Performance” that would undoubtedly leave me salivating for more, I rewatch/re-listen to Ring Of Fire, Mad World & of late, Satisfaction, which I am madly in adoration of due to Adam’s sexy agility in dance & his stage domination. Terrific effort!

In retrospect, he was much more exciting in that performance than was realized by myself at the time. Of course, I couldn’t have known how much more pleasure would be garnered in this 8th season of American Idol because of the inclusion of this rare singing talent. But, it has truly been primarily a pleasure due largely to Mr. Adam Lambert.

Great song selection for this imminent superstar & as usual, outstanding performance.
That extended note was *chill-bump inducing* & trademark Adam Lambert.:)

All the way for the victory, babeee!

OK – now THAT’S a star.

I love Kris and I want him to go as far as possible. And I’ll buy every CD Kris makes, but this performance by Adam was a STAR TURN. Period.

Whether you like all of his performances this season – and they’ve been extremely varied across many styles – this was a star turn. The entrance, the vocal, the look, the connection… Guys, this was very, very good.

By the way, I’ve been in several Broadway shows – and I mean IN shows ON Broadway – and there’s nothing like this on Broadway. Randy had nothing to say if that’s all he had to contribute. Or he hasn’t ever SEEN a Broadway show. It’s where I work as a performer, and we don’t have this there. Period.

HI Friends,

I love this site because there are so many Adam lovers here. I read that he was in Bottom 2 tonight.

Words cannot express how depressed I’m feeling at this moment in time. I just wish to take medical leave, go off to somewhere to mediate. If Adam is out, I think I could commit suicide.

I love his performance last night so much that I got a headache (in a good way) as I rewind and watched over and over and over again. I stopped breathing while that last note ends. I think if I’m an older person, I might have died happily in that last note.

Why is life so cruel? Why does such a talented young man have to be kicked out? How am I going to deal with my withdrawal symptoms now?

America, do not play us overseas fans now.

Ladylynn on April 29, 2009 at 10:31 pm
236

I am apparently in the minority, but while i believe Adam is certainly talented, i can’t stand the over the top screech-singing or hearing his intakes of breath when he is singing (just as bad as watching sweet David A. licking his lips last year). He is definitely able to sing, but so are Allison (Y-E-A-H) Kris, and for that matter, Danny. On that note, I think its hilarious for people, myself included, to sit around and judge these people for their talent, when most of us only wish we could sing even half as good as them. Anyway, just wanted to voice another opinion.

escrowgirl on April 29, 2009 at 10:36 pm

if it true that adam is in the bottom 3 it’s very depressing. he has been working very hard and doing his best to prove that he’s worth the title and then in the bottom 3 that’s rediculous.

Now, I love Adam, don’t get me wrong, he’s my absolute FAVORITE on this show… But he was a little bit pitchy in this song. He went sharp on a few of his notes and they didn’t sound spectacular. Even then he was better than the entire competition, but still. He was off, which is unusual for him. :/

i a huge fan of adam. this man has so much talent in him & he’s an amazing person. he does not deserve negative punching as he’s very serious in his desire to win AI. i hope he’ll be successful through the support of those who appreciate his talent. america we’re depending on you to make this happen

oh Adam so deserve to be at the bottom 2! He’s getting a bit boring every week…I’m sure he’ll do the screaming (screeching out of his lungs) again next week and not to mention sticking his tongue out, which I find a bit CREEPY! and yeah, his dramatic theatrical shit…which he does every week. He’s so WEIRD! Only WEIRD and CREEPY people would buy his album and that’s it! Maybe his first album will sell out, but no one would longer buy his second album. Because the first time buyers will realized how CREEPY his music is…and how pathetic and sad! It’s different seeing him on television (it looks good because of all those DRAMAS) but then just hearing his songs is a different thing! It’s like you’re listening to this Egyptian screaming/screeching Evil! CREEPY!

I never heard any artist/producer would like to work with Adam, no matter how weird people thinks he’s good. And I guess Americans are starting to realized how CREEPY he is and only CREEPY people would like to vote for him. Because if you like his style then you must also be one of those CREEPY/WEIRD people in this world who are just as doomed and pathetic. BOTTOM 1 NEXT WEEK!

Comment 201 from Kathy.
I think your confuse, creepier and more weird than Adam and his fans. I think you don’t know what you are talking about. Jamie Fox said absolutely incredible.

Kathy I don’t know what your problems are but don’t take on Adam Lambert and his fans. You just shut up because you don’t know what you are talking about. Your are a shame to your countrymen.

Jojo, I think Kathy is from our Country,. LOL!! Chill guys..

Uhm personally, I don’t get it, it is just over the top.

I really really hope, Adam Lambert will not be the next American Idol… Sorry Adam fans,,

@ Jojo: What do you care about my opinion..are you Adam? or maybe you’re like one….that’s why you feel offended and quick to defend Adam… shame on you!

I believe that Adam was in the bottom 2 for the same reason that Chris Daughtry (4th place), Tamyra Gray (4th place), and Jennifer Hudson (7th place) were voted off. People think they’re safe. It’s unfathomable that George Huff could beat Jennifer Hudson, or Kevin Covais beat Chris Daughtry.

I wish we voted for the contestant we want OFF. But that would make it too predictable. Personally, I don’t think Adam needs AI to be a huge success. He’s a gifted artist who will get a recording deal or Broadway role without winning the AI crown.

But WE need him to win to show that we can see beyond stereotypes and prejudices. He’s clearly the top contender, gay or straight.

Idol fans must understand what the fan base of AI is.

1. Everytime someone else get’s voted off, that hurts Adam’s chances even more to win. Here is why. Noop and Lil Rounds went out and their fans will convert to Allison, Danny or Chris. Why ? Because their styles are more similiar to each other than Adam. Adam is the only unique one and so every time someone who is not Adam gets voted off they converge to the nearest replica…which means Adam will be out !

2. People do not vote for the best singer, they vote for the singer they LIKE best. This is just the way it is. It is not fair, it is not based on talent, that is the nature of how people vote.

3. The phone lines simply do not consistently work. Several websites talked about people trying to vote for Adam or others and not being able to get through.

4. The Gay/Not Gay factor. Several media sites talked about church groups as well as Country Western fan bases and “conservative” listeners not liking the idea of the “role model” Adam might be. Because of this, several groups have told their members to vote multiple times trying to skew the voting process and blackball Adam.

5. We fear that which is different. The other singers fit into the mold. America likes the mold.

This is why Adam won’t win. My own opinion however…Adam clearly is the best technical singer (range /tone/pitch ), performer, entertainer and potential star of the group.

Adam Fans Alert!

Do not split your vote. Vote only for Adam for as long as you can!

Having been in the bottom 2 — he really is in trouble if you do not vote.

There was NO conspiracy. It is real. He was very close to going. Why? Too many that love him thought he was safe.

well since i’m one of the “weird creepy people ” who luv adam i just want to say that no matter what happens adam will be bigger than whoever wins. kathey you are just trying to stir the pot and it won’t work. we who luv adam know he will do great no matter what. i don’t really care about your opinion but categorizing all adam lovers as weird and creepy shows your level of intelligence. if that is what i am than so be it. i would rather be that than delusional and hateful.

I listened to the other four for the first time tonight, and really, Adam leaves them all in the dust. No comparison. I’m shaking my head in disbelief that anyone thinks that any one of them is a better singer or more entertaining than Adam. But, as The Legend said @ 251, “People do not vote for the best singer, they vote for the singer they LIKE best.” This, I can believe.

Still, I’m amazed at how ordinary the others sound compared to him.

Note to Adam: I know that you like to check out the internet and see what people are saying. I want you to know that you are LOVED by MILLIONS! Stay true to yourself… if middle america can’t bring themselves to vote for someone who colors outside the lines, then F@#K em! You have LOADS of fans worldwide who can’t wait for you to ENTERTAIN us outside of this stupid show!

RE: BUSY SIGNALS

Most wats line logjams start at the local level. There are not enough lines in YOUR area or they are not trunkated to handle the traffic.

If you consistently get busy signals–you may have phone phreakers and/or auto dialers in your area jamming the lines.

Only 10% or so of busy signals are on Idol’s end.

Call YOUR phone company and complain. Mention that the FCC may have to look into the situation, by your request.

(I worked as a telephone operatorfor Frontier Communications)

There is definitely a conspiracy theory going on…but honestly if you look at it this could be a GOOD thing for adam, this will get all adam fans to vote like crazy and raise more attention! It’s definitely a wake up call for all of us adam fans! I truly believe he will be in the finale!

Anum on April 30, 2009 at 11:50 pm

I really hope Adam wins and Danny takes second not because I think Adam is in any way better than Danny, but because the person in the #1 slot has to adhere to AI’s ideas for an album, etc. I think if Adam winning would be the perfect setup for Danny. #2 means more artistic freedom.

it was alright, his normal singing voice just doesn’t do it for me. it definitely was too broadway. i don’t think i can get past him always coming off as a character. i need someone real.

I wan tto give a personal thank-you to Buddy. You hae staed (with your esxperience and knowledge) what anyody who truly loves music understands.. I hae know degree, but I have an ear for perfect music..I knew from bohemian rhapsody that Adam was the winner.. He ca truly do anything with his voice. I’ve never heard (or rarely heard) any singer that can carry a night until breathless then change back at the end of it. It’s just amazing to me..I challenge anyone reading this to crank up rin or Feeling and try to carry those notes with Adam..You Can Not Do it (let alone sound good.) So aain thank-you Buddy for confirming what I knew. I can relate to Adam’s love for music, My Mom Listened to vinyl all my life and I love and appreciate the variations of songs that Adam is bringing to the table. Thanks again Adam!!
(you’re better than the originals!!)
and I know if you don’t win, it’s fixed//(like g. bush)

danny had a slip of tongue. hahaha! he said he observes others performances & take it his own. he actually copied part of the moves of adam during disco week from his born to be wild performance & so was last tuesday attempt of high note! adam is a great singer. he’s brave when put on the spot which side to join. do u think others would dare? they’ll predictably play safe. but not adam

Hey Nick you need something real get a life or go to the Anoop fan site. Hugs and kisses for Anoop that real enough for you lord these freaks just keep coming in here with mental attitude.Adams a performer he is the total package the rest do not and will not compare real enough.

THIS IS LONG. SORRY.

What?! the guy who sang this tasted the bottom three?!

What the hell?? It’s driving me mad… Who’s going for danny than adam? Adam is creative and risky. danny’s not. All he do is to be emotional because of you know what.This is a singing contest. Danny is good but adam is way better. He got the ‘it’ factor that danny doesn’t have.

Kris did even worse. It’s boring. I am a kris lover but… oh, just watch again.

Allison deserves to be saved. She is cute and more importantly, she gave a good performance.

Adam is the best in rat pack week. duh. don’t need many words to say it.

To us, adam’s fans, let’s support him ’til the end. even after idol, of course, He is an idol legend. Simon’s standing ov. is a proof of adam’s greatness. PLEASE VOTE. let’s not bring him down.

watchdog on May 1, 2009 at 4:59 am

Another thing… if adam is screaming, then why does the judges (who are more professional than us) almost always love his performance and does not mention anything about screaming??

don’t tell me that simon is dumb. i often listen to simon. although there are maximum of 6 comments that i disagreed with him, he is often right.

watchdog on May 1, 2009 at 5:54 am

Give me a break. All of these songs are COVERS – why do they have to give credit? It’s still their own rendition of the song. Did Frank Sinatra give credit to Bing Crosby for an arrangement? Give it up. As for Adam’s singing – he’s brilliant – plain and simple. No one is as talented …or as gracious as him. No one. The music industry has lured us into a world of “image artists” who can’t perform live without lip syncing. MTV has really ruined the music industry – it’s all about how you look. Finally, we’ve got Adam who can do it all – LIVE. Let’s appreciate him – not knock him down.

lcbaby on May 1, 2009 at 8:59 am
272

OK, I am a very big fun of Adam and I suspect he might be voted out. You see, this competition not about singing or performance ability. It is all about revenue of producers, so with Adam they will get it anyway, but they want more, so, they will eliminate him and his funs is going to support his sales anyway, but funs of others will get a relieve and would feel a competition between 3 left, so, next week, no matter how you vote ( I can’t – I am in Canada), and no matter that Adam is really good at Rock – they will make sure he is going home. They will make a deal with him – he wouldn’t refuse, unless he is going to risk to challenge them, although I am doubtful that he is going to do that, since he is a smart guy, so I think we gonna enjoy him on this stage for the last time and I think he is going to perform the best!

look people dont like him because they say he screams but you kno he doesnt hes a rock artist. listen to gun and roses queen and other hard rock. its not screaming its called a “rock high note”. Oh yeah and people who dont like how he sticks his tounge out when he sings, well thats ur problem because when your singing, especially high notes if you keep your tongue in your mouth im pretty sure that any notes that u sing will be massacred so instead of that beautiful high note feeling it would sound like dfegljing ok the tounge is in your mouth for you to speak so get over his tounge sticking out. =p go glambert!!!

i agree with becca. it’s hilarious how people are trying to hard to pick flaws out of him, they’ll even comment on how they don’t like him sticking his tongue out. his tongue is sexy.

Adam does not seem to care! Saw pictures of him kissing other men with tongue on internet. If he wants to win why all this wild stuff even had him in drag in a picture.To me American Idol should be a great typical person who sings well and represents America appropriately and not showing so openingly that I like guys and the pictures speak big words.It is choice but good sense would be to keep it private until the competition is over!Check out google and there are the pictures on different sites of him and boy toy!!
