New American Idol thread

<p>Thank you for that alwaysamom. Coincidentally, someone just sent me this link, in which opera experts rate Adam’s voice and style. </p>

<p>[San</a> Diego News Network | Book & Movie Reviews, Concerts, Local Events & Attractions Opera experts rate “Idol’s” Adam Lambert](<a href=“sdnn.com - This website is for sale! - sdnn Resources and Information.”>sdnn.com - This website is for sale! - sdnn Resources and Information.)</p>

<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>I loved “Glee”!!! Plan to watch that episode again this weekend!</p>

<p>Contrary to what many think though, that was the pilot and there won’t be any more episodes till fall - it is NOT a summer show…</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 watched Glee too. I kept wondering if it was supposed to be a “spoofy” (is that a word?) kind of show. It was all so predictable.</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>

<p>What a great article, cartera45. Thanks for the link.</p>

<p>It was really interesting to read a critique of Adam’s voice from professionals and hear the technique commentary. Thoroughly enjoyed it.</p>

<p>too funny…for me for you…dawg!!</p>

<p>I’m glad they aren’t showing all of her stupid rants…</p>

<p>ok…now on with the show.</p>

<p>Jasmine did not sound good when she had that little solo part.</p>

<p>The opening number was terrible–kind of like a bad high school performance.</p>

<p>I’m enjoying David Cook. I think America made the right choice last year.</p>

<p>This whole show is one big filler spot.</p>

<p>why do they have to rehash the horrible singers??? we could be listening to GOOD music.</p>

<p>If I had wanted to see the losers, I would have started watching earlier in the season - this is pathetic.</p>

<p>what a farce!!!</p>

<p>Norman Gentle is worth the two hour wait! Isn’t this a comedy show?</p>
