American Idol......

[lilolilmanchester]

am I a complete saddo for watching it or does anyone else find it compelling viewing?

Well done MrsJ, you were spot on!

I liked their dance routine, Adam was the best, IMO.

So glad Anoop has gone. he really annoyed me. so bloody serious all the time!
Can I just say that I think Adam has totaly sold himself out. He had good comments the first week he dressed like Elvis, but does he really have to do it every week? He was into the punky/rocky look before. Cant deny he looks amazing with the hair, but I really think he is playing to the masses. Even his song choices have dulled down.

Just watched this week's episodes: definitely think the right ones went.

Still have a crush on Kris.

Who is the bloke with the lump in the middle of his forehead? I cant help but focus on it all the time. He is such a Justin Timberlake rip off. Cant believe the judges saved him, so unoriginal. I have a cruch on the one with glasses. Christ, I watch it everyweek and I still dont know their names!

'Justin Timberlake'-lite is Matt. Danny is the one in the glasses.

that I didn't even have to think about that.

Finding Adam irritating now.

Good result this week. How stupid do they think we are? How is it even possible that he was in the bottom 2? (See, no spoiler here!!)

Ah, but they cleverly didn't say he was actually in the bottom two. I think the right one went. But now, I have no idea how to narrow the last four down because they are all so different.

This series is so dull! Although I think the right 4 are left - couldn't guess who's going next.

I liked Adam at the start, but he's boring me now.

hmmm, well as I'm a big Adam fan - although I much prefer him singing ballads to his usual screeching - I'm hoping that it was voter complacency that put him in the bottom two, but probably not

me too Christiana - it's a shame that he is almost certainly gay but I don't think he has actually come out (we can live in hope ).

I haven't searched the internet but I understand there is some fairly convincing evidence that Adam is batting for the other team.

No, I tell you, Kris is definitely the swooniest. Even married.

Anyone? Anyone?

I'm still watching - God knows why! The song choices have been dire this series!

Am glad Kris has made it to the final though. I think he's definitely improved over the series. In my eyes he has anyway

I used to love AI but got really bored this season. Bring back the days of Bo Bice !

I agree NotAlone - this has got to be the worst series so far. I think I've just kept watching in the hope it would get better!

Same here Stinkyfeet but it really hasn't has it? Sadly think it may have had its day.

Kris is the only one who has sung anything even vaguely current, so of course that's why I'd vote for him.

I've been googling madly about who might win but people are calling it for both of them. I'll have to hang on to Friday because DS1 has forbidden me to google the winner.

Yes, agreed PP. Also his far superior talent, showmanship, lyric interpretation, musical arrangement and !

I can see we are on the same wavelength here, stinkyfeet.

I am not so far gone as to deny that Adam is the better singer in terms of pure vocal ability. But Kris is definitely the better musician - fantastic artistreeee, to quote Kara. And he is just a million times hotter.

I love Kris The way he kind of shyly looks down and does a really cute smile when he gets good comments for the judges

Oh I loved Heartless last week, would definitely buy it if it was released. Kris gets my vote. Adam's just too polished. Yes he's got a good voice, yadda yadda, but Kris is more rounded musically.

Gotta give you props for calling that top three, Tillyscoutsmum.

Tbh, I don't really mind which of them wins overall because I think you can argue it either way and it really does come down to individual preferences rather than talent because they are both very talented.

But if Kris wins, there will be lots of media interest and I can indulge in lots more leering intelligent interest in his career.
