<p>Adam is smart and chose to use the big stage at the Noikia for Mad World rather than sit still as he did the first time. I think it was great to watch and very entertaining. This is theatrics afterall. Some use theatrics to hide a terrible voice, Madonna and Brittany Spears come to mind, but Adam combines the master entertainer with the singing chops.
Because of the awful “winners” song, I decided not to vote at all (I would have voted for Adam). I just think it would be a shame to force Adam to record that insipid garbage. These songs are never very good, but this one has to be the worst.</p>
<p>A little off topic here but did any of you watch GLEE after AI? What did you think? </p>
<p>I thought it was terrible. Poorly written and full of silly cliches. Oh well, I was hoping for something to watch this summer. I am sure that the kiddies (girls between the ages of 12 and 15) liked it though.</p>
<p>seiclan- I watched Glee too and TOTALLY agree with you! Some parts were just really strange and were trying too hard to be dramatic, and the cliches were just WAY over the top. Just really bad all together, though today I’m hearing from lots of people that they thought it was great! To each his own, I guess. It doesn’t start up again until fall- the producers wanted to just show this premiere “event” to create buzz so people would watch it online this summer and they’d have created a lot of anticipation for the premiere in the fall.</p>
<p>I think it was supposed to be spoofy but I just didn’t get it. Watched it with 18 year old DD and she thought it was cute/funny. I went to bed before it was over.</p>
<p>I felt ambivalent about Glee. It often seemed strained and cliched, and the ugliness of the wife’s caricature really bothered me. But there were some great moments. The “Rehab” number was worth the whole show. And I loved the anal quality of the platonic-love-interest teacher and the venality of the principal.</p>
<p>If it stays on that level, I might watch it a couple of times, but it won’t hold my interest at all. However, I could see it getting good enough to watch.</p>
