New American Idol thread

<p>And with them choosing Adam to do One, it’s almost unfair that they chose that song for Danny (honestly, I don’t ever remember hearing it before).</p>

<p>teri - that’s the only way I know that song. I think every collegiate a cappella group in the country has a version. I don’t even know who the original artist is.</p>

<p>Timbaland and One Republic…</p>

<p>D’s group has a male soloist who gives me goosebumps whenever I hear him do this song. Honestly, I don’t know if Kris can top it.</p>

<p>Kris is at the piano doing his song, Apologize. He has a really nice voice but it dosen’t hold a candle to the original. I just listened to the original and now listening to Kris…he sounds anemic.</p>

<p>I thought he’d change the arrangement when I saw him at the piano… kind of disappointed.</p>

<p>Okay, Randy thought it was really nice. Kara didn’t think he swung it out of the park. I agree with her. Paula also was disappointed because there was a bum note but she is proud of him…
Simon said that it was a competent version of the original but not as good. He didn’t like the arrangement. I agree too.</p>

<p>Shut up judges! It is so not about any of those has beens or never beens.</p>

<p>I agreed with Simon when he got on Kara for her comments. She picked the song; if she wanted him to play the guitar, she should have said so.</p>

<p>Since when do judges get involved in arrangements?</p>

<p>So why would Simon expect Randy to do the arrangement?</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong, I love Kris, and I love that song, but I think there was so much more potential there. But at this stage of the game, Kris should have figured out what was the best way to showcase his musical talent, and basically covering the song at the piano was not up to what I’ve expected of Kris.</p>

<p>Tonight so far I prefer Kris over Danny. Still really miss Alyson though…</p>

<p>OK… am not liking Adam tonight.</p>

<p>I really liked it…very balladish.</p>

<p>that’s worth repeating… am not liking Adam tonight.</p>

<p>Liked the beginning - didn’t like it when he started shreiking.</p>

<p>Great song–didn’t like his version or his voice in it. Maybe the second song will be better.</p>

<p>have to agree with swimcatsmom - I did like the beginning, but I lost interest quickly.</p>

<p>I’m on the west coast here so am not able to watch yet. What did the judges say about Adam?</p>

<p>They were all drooling and fawning</p>

<p>Just realized I honestly can’t remember what Kara and Randy and Paula said - my brain shuts down when they speak - but it was along the drooling fawning description I mentioned.</p>

<p>Agree with swimcatsmom on Adam. Still, I think he is the only one of the three to show consistent originality with his performancees. Even though I have a crush on Kris. His performance was truly lackluster tonight, imo.</p>
