New American Idol thread

<p>Am I the only one who thinks Chris is waaaaaaaaaay out of his league in this threesome?</p>

<p>Probably but I think he will do a good job with Apologize.</p>

<p>You’re probably right, ebeeeee. I’m just so blown away by Adam and Danny, I can’t see where Chris fits in. But the judges and voters have always loved him.</p>

<p>Oh Hindoo - I will have to disagree. I like Kris a lot and think he is very talented musically. Watching Danny, for me, is like watching paint dry. He has an okay voice but I don’t see much talent - he doesn’t seem to have a good ear, doesn’t demonstrate much musicality and isn’t very original. I think Kris shows all these things.</p>

<p>Kris, Chris … eh. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. Danny has a magnificent voice. No, he isn’t Mr. Charisma–that label belongs solely to Adam this season–but he can sing the top off a skyscraper. … Kris’s voice just doesn’t stand out for me. Barely better than a lounge lizard, in my humble opinion. :)</p>

<p>Hindoo - I must agree with cartera45 about Kris being a better singer than Danny. When Danny sang “Dream On” last week I thought it was one of the worst songs I have ever heard on Idol. </p>

<p>I still believe that it will come down to Adam and Danny in the final, but personally I think Kris should be there with Adam. Actually I would have liked to have seen Allison in the final two, but I think she is young and still needs to mature. </p>

<p>In the end I think Adam is so much better than the other two and has really been in a league of his own throughout this competition.</p>

<p>I am in agreement with those that think Kris is better than Danny. I actually don’t like Danny at all and can’t understand why he is still in it - I was seriously cringing during the, thankfully small, part of his performance I caught last week. But to be honest though I am always very interested to see what Adam is going to do each week and really am tuning in mainly to see him, his way of singing is not my cup of tea. I much preferred last years contestants.</p>

<p>Adam’s been my top choice from Day 1. … I agree with Showmom that it would have been fun to see Allison in the finale–she’s just amazing. Again, I have to disagree with you musical yokels, re: Danny. Other than that one glaringly awful finishing screech the other week, he’s been wonderful. :)</p>

<p>I’ll take Kris over Danny any day.</p>

<p>What am I to do with all of you “Kris lovers?” :confused:</p>

<p>I actually started off favoring Danny (I know, right?). But then came Ring of Fire and I haven’t looked back since. </p>

<p>I think that the difference between Danny & Kris right now is that Kris is comfortable with himself, he knows what works for him & his voice. Danny feels to me like he is starting to doubt himself as an artist. He’s starting to copy other people’s performances (cough<em>Adam</em>cough) and it just doesn’t work with him. He needs to go back to what he’s good at and just be happy with that.</p>

<p>Danny makes me nuts all the way around. He can’t sing, he has little to no stage presence, he is smug, and for me, he doesn’t fit in with this seasons youthful vibe. I don’t think the other idols care for him too much either. He seems the odd man out.</p>

<p>He reminds me of Taylor Hicks, and not in a good way.</p>

<p>Allison deserved to make the final. I hope she has a long career ahead of her.</p>

<p>Ring of Fire did it for me, too. One of the best American Idol performance … ever. I still think you guys are NUTS re: Danny. The guy can SING much better than the twerpy lounge-lizard, Kris. :)</p>

<p>Twerpy lounge lizard??? Why I oughta …</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>Just listened to the original Dance Little Sister on you tube. I would say Paula threw Danny under the bus! It is going to be a train wreck. And Adam and Kris are singing highly recognizable, recent songs that most people already love.</p>

<p>I am ready for AI.</p>

<p>This song, Dance Little Sister, may destroy Danny’s voice before he can do his second and probably much better selection later. I don’t like the song at all and feel badly that Danny has to sing it. Do do do do do do do …</p>

<p>Stupid song choice. It was the typical one-note Danny performance.</p>

<p>Randy said it was dope (good for him). Kara didn’t like the dancing. Paula thought he did “really good”. Simon agreed with Kara…said the dancing was a bit desparate but had an issue with the sax solo and criticized the song choice…like it was Danny’s pick!</p>

<p>Oh, I can’t wait to see what Kris does with Apologize! Another song my daughter’s a cappella group does.</p>
