So I was gritting my teeth through most of the episode because the songs mostly stunk. I woke up when that Adam guy finally performed and put some goddamn LIFE into the show. I hate his look, but he has an amazing voice and the confidence to use it.
That Adam guy was a lot better then the rest of the lot. Bit of an emo'ish look, but authentic enough while performing.
Now, what was Gordon Ramsay doing in the crowd? He cook's for the crew?
getting his show(s) pimped out by Fox... just like every other special guest audience member they always have on this show, except for The Hoff.
my question is, what the hell was justin guarini doing sitting behind simon cowell? dude, you were on the show like 20 years ago, and you still have no career except as an audience member for the show you never won on. that's sad.
i don't get why they all love adam so much. he sounds like a 13-year-old axl rose trying to sound like robert plant trying to sound like a cat in heat. seriously, just close your eyes when he sings and focus on the sound of his voice.... it's excruciating.
Last week I saw Doogie Howser in the audience, so seeing a celeb isn't always about pimping their shows (although I'd like to believe that a hard-ass like Gordon Ramsey was forced by his agent to attend an American Idol show).
Regarding that Adam dude: he totally has the pipes to be a front man for a 80s hair band. The look, however, doesn't match the voice, IMO. Maybe he can do a Cure song and we'll see what happens.
first of all, MJ haters - fuck off! Michael Jackson rules!
secondly there are 2 people on the show currently who ALREADY HAD CAREERS IN MUSIC! So is american idol going to become the last hope of hiphop stardom for all dualing piano players and people who already have stage work under thier belt. If so, thats really fucking stupid.
Adam needs to go back to his stage life / work (just like every other starving actor) and so does the dueling piano player, fuck off and give the rest of the world-who hasn't already been discovered, a chance. The thing that really gets me is that the piano guy acts like his life before the show sucked completely - so what makes the douche think he won't continue to be unhappy having to perform for people on a stage every night vs a piano bar?
Get rid of them both I says! Adam's tongue sticking out high notes annoy the crap out of me. Plus I'm sure his acne covered face is more enjoyable from a distance, like say .. on a stage - no less than 30 feet away from me. Most importantly NOT on my HD flat screen. Seriously he's gross!
Scott MacIntyre gets my vote right now for the win, but there are still several weeks left for that to change. We'll see.
