New American Idol thread

<p>I have been to one. You won’t be the only older fan. It’s mostly mothers with pre-teen girls and boomer couples.</p>

<p>Wear earplugs. You’ve never heard loud until you’ve heard 10,000 screaming pre-teen girls. Good lord. Seriously.</p>

<p>If you are guy, the lines will be short for the restrooms at intermission, but you might get trampled in the concourses. If you are a woman, I would recommend no fluids for 12 hours before the concert or you’ll still be waiting in line when the show is over. The audience is 95% female to 5% male.</p>

<p>Looking forward to Slash and seeing how the contestants “rock” tonight.</p>

<p>ugh I have a dinner thing that will interfere. Counting on the East Coast crowd to give me some details as you are watching…</p>

<p>Just read that the stage manager fell down the stairs, and part of the stage collapsed. No dress rehearsal for the kids!</p>

<p>I have a feeling Adam will be rocking to some Freddie Mercury??!!</p>

<p>NO…Led Zeppelin! oh boy</p>

<p>Is Adam singing first? What song is he singing?</p>

<p>Elvis’ evil alter-ego has returned…to showy though, not rock enough…</p>

<p>am I the only one who doesn’t care for Adam?</p>

<p>Kara…please. did you drink from Paula’s cup…</p>

<p>I thought he nailed it - nailed it!</p>

<p>I’m with you, fendergirl.</p>

<p>what did he sing?</p>

<p>cartera45 - What did he sing? I am on the west coast so I’m not watching yet. What did the judges say?</p>

<p>My husband HATED it. He hated every bit of that performance. The crowd and judges seemed to loved it but I think they don’t care what his performances are like. They’ll vote for anything he does.</p>

<p>I don’t think he nailed it. I love classic rock but his performance was missing something.</p>

<p>I mean, I love led zeppelin… but that was just a bit too over the top for me and I didn’t like it at all… I guess can see how people would love it though, if you like that kind of thing… but for me it was just a really bad cover.</p>

<p>Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin</p>

<p>I don’t even like that kind of music and I agree with cartera, he nailed it.</p>

<p>showmom, all of them loved it. Kara went overboard. Simon said that nobody will be able to top that!</p>

<p>He sang “whole lot of love”. I think he took Slashes comments to heart and cut down on the upper register theatrics. I thought he did a good job on it.</p>

<p>I can’t wait to hear it, but I personally love Adam’s upper register. My DD (the trained singer) just adores Adam! She is so happy not to have Seussical rehearsals tonight so she can watch.</p>

<p>All right - I’ve been waiting for Allison to do Joplin. Here goes.</p>
