I'm ready and I'm telling everyone I know to vote too. Even those that don't watch. All I had to do was show them clips of Danny last week and it was enough LOL. I can't believe Danny said those things, Kenny. Oh wait, I can. The guy continues to give me no reason to even bother to tolerate him. Ugh. I figured he had alot of fans but to see and hear about all those traffic backups and the crowds...wow. I guess I can see why he is still around. I doubt he will be hoarse on Tuesday though. I still can't believe he said that it didn't matter that he was going flat or sharp. The guy thinks he has at least a spot in the finale in the bag and why shouldn't he? After he survived last week's disaster, he probably figures he can survive anything. The best part about Danny's homecoming is seeing Jamar again. I liked him alot. It seems like once Jamar left, Danny became unlikable. Those two together were great. Something about them together made me like both of them but with Jamar gone, Danny slowly began losing favor with me and now I'm at the point where I can't stand him. The good news is Kris and Danny's crowds are both huge so it doesn't look like one has a huge advantage over the other on that but it's the votes that count. I agree that these seem like the biggest crowds ever. This season seems to be a hit in terms of impact. I don't think it will be one of my favorites but it's definitely not the worse season ever, unless Danny wins IMO. So, Adam gets to choose between 3 songs?! Do we have anymore info on that yet? If so, then wow. That is horribly unfair. They've never done shit like that before. I'm guessing the blurb about him singing U2's One may mean that the 3 songs to choose from thing isn't true? I hope not because that would really piss me off. I do agree that is a good song for him. If he is going to sing a U2 song, that is the one I would choose. That could be great. I'm interested in seeing what Adam does with it. I guess I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday to see how they handled the judges with all this. I still am assuming that all 4 judges came together on song choices for the 3 contestants since they have more judges then contestants. There is no way I see them leaving someone out. I think it would have to be all of them working together. Thanks again, Kenny for all the updates. I haven't gotten to them all yet but I will little by little during the weekend. This is my favorite time of the competition. Not just because it's the end and it's suspenseful but also because of the homecomings and seeing all the interactions and such. The crowds have been impressive and the whole thing with that topless woman at Adam's event was hilarious! Oh, and LOVE the avatar, Kenny. I miss my Alison :( .

A few more shots of Danny last night... I wish they had an aerial shot of the crowd from his concert because it was pretty massive. OnMilwaukee.com is reporting that there were 25,000 people in attendance. That's at the concert -- not the ballpart. His crowd was almost double the size of Kris Allen's crowd. By comparison, Adam's homecoming was downright wimpy, LoL. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Now some shots of Kris... Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image And finally, some videos. Adam sings the National Anthem... Danny sings "What Hurts The Most." Listen to how hoarse his voice is. Danny throws the first pitch and sings the National Anthem at Miller Park... |

Oh, and there's still no official confirmation of what song Adam will be singing next week. Apparently he did two different takes of getting a text from Simon and on each take, he got a different song. "One" by U2 and "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak are the songs being reported. |

That was HILARIOUS, Kenny. That was so funny when she made fun of the whole A+ for effort thing and him ignoring Jamar. Loved that. Like cubsgirl, I can't wait to the next Idolatry. That should be great. LMAO to that sign in that Kris picture. I just hope we have enough to overcome the Gokeheads (apparently, that is their fanbase name now LOL). All the crowds look pretty impressive (although Adam's seems a little less impressive for some reason) but Danny's is really going to stroke his ego even more, especially with all the traffic holdups and such. He really does sound hoarse. I would think he would be ok for Tuesday but he does have two songs to prepare for and sing in the next few days so who knows. Even if he is hoarse, the judges will probably still praise him and it will just make fans vote for him more. After he survived last week, you just know that it's going to take alot for him to go home. So, Adam is still in limbo? This is so confusing with who picked the songs, what exactly Adam's choice (or choices) are, etc. What the hell is going on LOL?! |

Maybe Danny thinks it doesn't matter that he is hoarse because he knows that he isn't going to win, because like the rest of of, he knows that Adam has already been selected. Maybe he has known that all along and that was why he never "came out like he was trying to win" ... maybe he was just trying to have fun with it and not take it too seriously. IDK. The more I think about Adam being chosen, the more I can see that it was so from the get-go. It's hard to imagine that the other contestants didn't notice. After watching those clips (I watched them all) and seeing the interview with Matt, it seems clear that at least he was aware of favoritism and made at least one reference to showboating (who else showboats but Adam? ). Its kind of like running for President against a Bush .. like, whats the fucking point? The process is all for show with no chance of someone else winning. Grr ... I'm getting all pissed all over again ... |

Danny was showboating last week when he took over that whole duet from Kris LOL. That was very blatant. Danny has showboated too and I will even say Kris has at times too. Yes, Adam's done it the most but again alot of that is in the performance. That is who he is as a performer. The people he gets compared to (Stephen Tyler, etc) are just like that. I find it more disturbing when someone showboats even after the performance like Danny clapping for himself or some of the things he says or what I and other see as smug faces he makes. You do make a point though. I've watched alot of the interviews with eliminated contestants and it comes off very much like last year where alot of them admitted they knew they had the talent to have a chance to win but knew they wouldn't win because the show was behind it's two horses for the finale. Same thing this year. I get the feeling that so many of them felt they were just competing for everything but first and second place this year. They just hoped to stay around as long as possible. I mean, they've heard numerous times Paula say that Adam and Danny were headed to the finals. They've heard Simon say that is what he feels will happen. They've heard the praise. They've saw how last week Adam was brought up in commentary by Simon all night and how they kept getting compared to him. That is why when Simon got on Kris and Alison for confidence, if I were them, I would've said that I have confidence in myself being successful but not on this show. Then, when he asked why, I would say because of the favoritism and pimping of two people over others. If you are going to get eliminated, may as well go down fighting. I know the pimping and favoritism is a part of the show now and it won't go away but my hope is that Paula and the other judges make it a point to not toss out declarations of someone going to the finale until at least top 6 or 7 because the fact that they were already saying that shit the first week of the top 12 is APPALLING. I also don't want to see a situation like Simon created last week when Adam went first and was mentioned all night. The way everyone was compared to him was unfair. Simon should just judge each performance and then on results night say that Adam was the best of the night in his opinion. Simple. Stop with the other BS. |

Yeah, I have no clue what's going on there either. People are hearing him say two completely different things in different videos. Then there's this video, and around 3:04 you can hear him say "I've got my choice of two" once he gets the text. He says it very clearly. You can also hear him say "One by U2" at 2:52. |

I'm thinking that maybe producers were worried one of the songs wouldn't be cleared by Tuesday night, so they filmed Adam receiving a text for two different tunes just incase. |
