i had a bet on Adam and sold out of it early this morning to take a small loss. Save me some calling.
American Idol Season 8
- Thread starter BleedDodgerBlue
- Start date
That's cuz the judges were told to pimp Adam and dump on Chris...
At this point, I don't think the judges' opinion doesn't mean much anymore.. most folks have their minds made up already....
And I really think that the "Danny vote" has a better chance of going to Kris than it does Adam...
I think Adam is too controversial to win - too many people hate him for what he is - an example of an outside the mainstream Californianian.... Chris is squeakly clean, amd more like the majority in this country.
All the young girls voting (and they vote A LOT) - who are you gonna vote for - the guy that looks like a man, or the one that doesn't look much like a man.... It's kinda like Marilynn Manson was on the show - great entertainer but not very mainsream....
Idol would be better off with Kris - Adam is too "different" to sell a lot of records.... most folks will like Kris - he's more like one of us....
Cali is a strangle place, with a lot of strange people - yes, I know that's controversial, but it is the trth....
JMHO
I am sure that I am probably older than you Mags and even more old school but with the younger crowd these days, and the ones that buy the most music, Adam is MUCH more marketable:shrug:
say what you want about the guys lifestyle and image, he CAN sing
trust me, I am from AL and old school as they get, but it a totally different generation out there these days and THEY are the ones voting and buying music
just my .02

dunclock - I understand, I really do. I believe that Kris is more talented (all considered). But I think a lot of Imerica is turned off by the screaming and theatrics of Adam. It's kinda like all the demo's voting for Obama. Ok, dumb idea (even if I've been drinking) - I don't want to go there and turn this into a policital discussion.
But if I had the time (and money), I've vote a millliion times for Kirs, and wish that Adam would just go way.
When I was in NY, I saw Rent on Off Broadway - a show about AIDS and homosexuality. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Every time I see Adam, I think of that show. He'd be perfect for it - and he wouldn't even have to "Act" or pretend - it is his life.
Youre the exact type of douchebag i had in mind when i sold my Adam bet and took Cris to salvage something.
:jerkit: 
i turned it on for a second and adam was literally screaming...
maybe i`m just too old...but that sucked...
anyhoo,who can concentrate on this schlock knowing that "dolla" just got capped?...

Douchebag for liking Kris instead of queer boy Adam.....
I'll take that as a compliment - especially from someone as esteemed as you are on this site.. :mj07:
sponge, as usual you are way out of line with the name calling
I am not a "fan" of Adam, I just think he is just much more marketable than the bland kris, who I think is a good singer but not marketable:shrug:

I hope Adam wins. Kris is good in an old James Taylor kind of way. Not a young JT but the old one. Good singer but very boring. Adam more of a pure entertainer. I could do with less screaming on Adams part. Just my opinion.
You are talking about marketablility. This other handjob isn't talking about singing talent at all. He won't vote for him simply because he is gay. Even if Adam was the best singer in the history of this show this guy still, will not vote for him. It is pathetic. Like usual u missed the point. A fella on another site pointed out that Clay Aiken lost to Ruben Studdar possibly for this same exact reason. After thinking about it i choose to bail out of this wager because he is right. There are to many of these type of shallow thinkers littered all over this country to take a risk on Adam.

The guy slammed blacks, gays, and the state of California yet u seem to have miss all of that. Interesting.
And I wouldn't vote for him either. It's not because he is queer, it's because of the package that comes with being queer. The cross over/ hip bump walk, the lip gloss, the painted fingernails, the tongue down another guy's throat. It's not what I want to see while watching a man sing. :shrug:
Sponge, you seem to invent things that were never said.
I'll just attribute it to "Sponge being Sponge" and leave it at that.
I've never been a big fan of name calliing on message boards without even knowing the other person. Obviously, you are a big fan of throwing names around - probably why you are so loved on these boards.
But I wouldn't be surprised if you also have black fingernails and eye-liner on as part of your wardrobe. Good for you!
We'll see who wins. I still think Chris is a better singer AND musician than Adam. Heck, we haven't even seen Adam play an instrument yet. But I'll give you this - Adam can scream with the best of them.
And while playing an instrument is technically not required, it does lend credibility to an artist in my mind - and I think other voters notice that too.

i just call them like i see them. If the truth stings so be it. U are a racist and a gay basher and it is that simple. U try to hide around it with little code words of urs. Be a man and just admit it. I have seen many of ur post. U have that redneck backwards cancer type of thinking. To each his own. Playing an instrument? What does that have to do with singing?
Final thoughts on season:
Adam wins. Don't believe what you read on line.....there is no chance kris is named winner tonight.
Allsion outsells any of these artists even if her music isn't your cup of tea. She is far and away the most marketable of the show in the only demographic which buys albums anymore and thats tweens.
the finale song sucked
kara is annoying and her coronation song sucked
the show jumped the shark a while ago
they need to eliminate the backstories on ALL contestants and just have it be a singing contest which it is supposed to be.
a hot girl has to win soon no?

It is not because he is queer? Then u rip him apart about being queer. Priceless :mj07:
I don't know BDB the line at Pinnacle is basically even now. By the way do u know where Phil Stacey is? Wasn't he one of ur favorite artist last year?:SIB
When Adam sang two slower lower key songs last night. It most likely won it all for him. Kris is nice singer. But didn,t handel that last song very well. The little red head could have did it better.
