Also Adam does need American Idol to push start his career, How many people knew who he was before American Idol ? Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson had previously been in Los Angeles making the rounds, people in the business saw her but nothing came of it. This show is a showcase for people trying to be stars, to get noticed. There are thousands of talented people out there that can sing but you have to be seen.Also the comment about being jealous about Adam was a joke for poster Joe since he seems to be occupied with &quot; the package &quot;.I agree Kris&#039;s arrangement are very good, but I believe they have help with them, Adam always thanks the people that help with the arrangements.I liked Danny from the beginning, he has a nice quality to his voice, he just doesn&#039;t need to try to sing notes he can&#039;t reach, he&#039;s a good singer just singing his own style.It will be fun seeing the final 3 perform &amp; may the best man win.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From everything I have read about Adam he was an understudy in Wicked in Los Angeles, did not read anything about being on Broadway.

isPermaLink="false">http://realitysteve.com/blog/2009/05/06/american-idol-recap-5509/#comment-23356</guid> <description>Adam has already BEEN on Broaday, which makes me ask (again - I know I have asked it before elsewhere) why he needed to be on Idol since he already had his career push...  I would prefer Idol to be the way it was in the beginning, kids who haven&#039;t had prior failed record contracts (Carly and others from last season), kids who haven&#039;t already been on Broadway (Joanna who was D/Q&#039;d this season), kids who haven&#039;t already been on/won Star Search or Nashville Star (Archuleta, others) etc.  I guess the huge number of this stuff from last year and this year has begun to sour me on this show.lorac - it did seem that Danny knew the other night it wasn&#039;t exactly his genre and at least he admitted that when he watched it back he knew he was bad.  And, opinion here, whether screaming in tune or out of tune, I still prefer no screaming lol.  Also, Adam is a threat to no man, and women don&#039;t have to waste time drooling.  As far as Kris, I really have to say in Kris&#039; defense the thing about him that I have noted is that maybe his voice isn&#039;t &quot;special&quot; but he has (to me, anyways - again purely my opinon) done arrangements or changes to the songs that I think have shown that he has grown a huge amount since the beginning.  At the start I thought he was a goner from the get-go, and many weeks he surprised me and I found myself liking what he did with the week&#039;s songs.  Each week there were people who were he deserved to stay over.  Again, just a reminder that its all my opinion -- can you tell I don&#039;t want to argue with anyone??  LOLJennifer, my bad then, I guess it was the way you worded your post in your response to others that frustrated me just a little bit.  It sounded like you were almost attacking instead of discussing - I guess that is what comes from being on the &#039;net instead of in a RL  conversation. I understand where you were coming from.  My sincere apologies!!  :o)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Adam has already BEEN on Broaday, which makes me ask (again &#8211; I know I have asked it before elsewhere) why he needed to be on Idol since he already had his career push&#8230;  I would prefer Idol to be the way it was in the beginning, kids who haven&#8217;t had prior failed record contracts (Carly and others from last season), kids who haven&#8217;t already been on Broadway (Joanna who was D/Q&#8217;d this season), kids who haven&#8217;t already been on/won Star Search or Nashville Star (Archuleta, others) etc.  I guess the huge number of this stuff from last year and this year has begun to sour me on this show.</p><p>lorac &#8211; it did seem that Danny knew the other night it wasn&#8217;t exactly his genre and at least he admitted that when he watched it back he knew he was bad.

Most men are threatened by someone like Adam because you guys know your women are drooling over him. I too am curous as to why Kris has gotten this far, his voice is nice but nothing special, &amp; as to why Jaime Foxx stated he would like to do a song with him, well Jaime can&#039;t sing either, have you ever heard him sing live?As far as the ratings go, American Idol is still 1 &amp; 2 every week, this show is monster. Don&#039;t know who is going to win but you can bet Adam will sell the most cds &amp; end up on Broadway too. Good luck to the 3 finalist &amp; may they all have great careers.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Adam screams at least he screams in tune, unlike Mr.Gokey who shattered many eardrums on Rock Night.

It&#039;s the way people state their opinions that bothers me sometimes.  You can argue your point, you can discuss your point, you can even say you really dislike certain performers but I really think that degrading a performer simply because he&#039;s not your cup of tea is disrespectful.  Adam ?? - a freakshow ??? -  yeah,  that really bothers me. If you don&#039;t like his &quot;screaming&quot; singing thats one thing but personal attacks??? no I dont like it.   I didnt like certain kids on the show this year but I didnt like their singing....not their personalites.  I don&#039;t even know them. I like Danny Gokey too - I think he&#039;s great and he&#039;s at the other end of the spectrum from Adam Lambert AND one more thing.....why the hell is JOE (the poster) checking out Adam lamberts package anyway!! L0L

First, taste in music is really a subjective thing.  What one person likes may not be something that appeals to another person and so forth.  I like that people are allowed to differ in opinion, its what makes life interesting.  Personally, I don&#039;t like any &quot;music&quot; that consists of what I feel is &quot;screaming&quot; - it just doesn&#039;t appeal to me.  When I listen to music, I like to understand the words.  But that doesn&#039;t make me an &quot;easy listening&quot; person either - if you look at my iPod, I have songs from almost every genre; it would be hard to determine what type of music fan I am because I love music, period.Second, yes it is a singing competition and it is on TV to entertain.  But being a competition, doesn&#039;t that by its very nature invite criticism or a better word, critique?  Are people supposed to watch the show and not even discuss it?  I think that what people are doing, discussing - maybe even arguing - over their favorites is exactly what is supposed to be going on.  You even seem to want to do it by ending your post with your &quot;Go Adam.&quot;  Unless you think that they are only supposed to discuss your personal favorite at the time, that your opinion is the only one that matters?  Which would be really sad.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jennifer S &#8211; Funny, but your last post brings a couple of things to my mind.

Adamâ€™s voice has been compared to Axl Rose, and rightfully so. Those who say he has a mediocre voice, would you say the same about Axl Rose?&lt;/blockquote&gt;No, because Axl Rose had a SUPERIOR voice to that of Adam. Listen to Adam without watching the TV and you&#039;ll know what I mean. And Axl Rose was all man, whereas next week when Adam is on stage with tight pants, check out his package...you&#039;ll know what I mean.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote

I don&#039;t care who wins because either way, Adam will end up putting out a CD.  Adam is my favorite and has been through the entire season.  And I am one who actually loved his performance country week.  It was different, yes, and not mainstream enough to be everyone&#039;s cup of tea, but I thought it was fantastic.  I like the original version of the song but was glad to see Adam do something original with it and I loved the sound.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope it does come down to an Adam/Danny final.

When they anounced Kris as the first to survive...I knew it was Allison and was pissed.  She would&#039;ve been the best one to give Adam a run for his money...Danny is boring and Kris just doesn&#039;t have the flare.  My guess is is that Allison being a girl was the problem...to many teeny bopper girls voting for Kris because he&#039;s a cute boy...such a shame.  Adam will win...I personally don&#039;t care for his style of voice but it&#039;s not beneath me to recognize he is a talented performer.  This will be the most anti-climatic finish for Idol ever.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was really bummed that Allison was booted last night&#8230;she was way better than both Danny and Kris.
