Check out Adam Lambert singing at his high school graduation nine years ago. He looks so different! LoL Pay close attention to 2:56 when he sounds like a dying cat.

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.
That sounds plausible, especially since they will likely edit the homecoming stuff we do see for Wednesday night. There is no way they would make it that blatant by showing him having the choice of 3 songs. There still seems to be alot of confusion that will hopefully clear up as we go along here. I still want to know about the situation with the judges and whether or not they worked together on each contestant.

I do hope Adam sings "One." If done right, he could have a great moment there. His best performances this year have been one he takes songs like that, tones himself down a bit, and does a original spin on them, much like Kris does and David Cook before him. I hope he provides a performance in that some vein this week.

Well, thanks for the nightmares, Kenny :laugh: .

That video of Adam was great. Wow...he has changed! I don't think he looks bad presently but he looks very handsome and like an ordinary person. I do think I prefer him now. He has an identity now. He's unique and embraces who he is. Back then, he just seems like everyone else in how he looks. I think he is just as handsome now, especially when he's had his hair slicked back and he's all dressed up during ballads. He still has his unique look only he looks more classy. The only time I hate his look is when he layers on the makeup (moreso then usual) or the camera gets so close that the makeup is noticeable and becomes a distraction. He has really He does sound like a dying cat at 2:56. I actually think his voice sounds better now for some reason. Maybe it's just the audio on my computer or something.

Again, thanks for all the updates and info, Kenny. It's been fun looking through all this, especially since the show will edit alot of it out and we will only see what they want to show us in an effort to show the most appealing and moments and also manipulate the voters LOL.

Check out this clip from Danny's concert on Friday. He completely forgets the lyrics to "Billie Jean" and stops halfway through the song, telling the audience that he doesn't know the words.

Later in the concert, he sang another song and had to read the lyrics from a paper. When his voice started giving out, he stopped singing and relied on his backup singer to finish the song for him. Is that not ridiculous?

OMG!

That is so FREAKING funny!!

The use of Lord of the Rings and the mentions of DialIdol and using Danny's scream to cause seizures...HILARIOUS!! :laugh: . I loved the part at the start of the second clip where it said that they had failed at saving her and you could hear the duet in the background LOL.

I also love how they keep showing Alison hitting Danny and I loved the judge bashing (especially calling Simon a producer's puppet and how the show has risked credibility by keeping Danny on after that atrocity last week). Loved the comments about the duet too. Mortal Kombat...duet style :laugh: . They were so right about Alison being able to connect with the material and how the judges were so reserved in their praise, as usual. I think they made a good point about how the judges may be hinting at how a vote for Alison is like a wasted vote in the judge's opinion but I hate that because how is it a waste of she really is better in other people's opinion? Ugh. I still love seeing her and Adam hug after that duet. So cute and so genuine. Loved that dig where they said Alison has a name and how she saved herself.

I didn't like them jumping on Kara because Kara has supported Alison. She is the only one that did. They are right that it didn't look good for Alison early on and it seemed like top 6-7 would be where she would end up so she should be happy. I can't wait until she does well and comes back to rub it in everyone's face too.

How funny was that clip of Tatiana and them saying they may as well bring her back? I agree. If we let Danny get through after last week, may as well have let Tatiana through. Her performances were better then that trash last week. I didn't remember Alison being in the background if that Ryan and Tatiana interview? Her facial expressions were hilarious and so were the comments!!

Danny will be too busy performing at Six Flags...LMFAO. How random was it too when David Archuleta's picture appeared after the puppy's? WTF?!

Their comments about Adam were right on too. I do think Danny was trying to channel him a bit last week.

This was just hilarious! I've been waiting all weekend for it. Thanks so much, cubsgirl. I hope that these two post a video interview with her too. That would be awesome!

That just pisses me off more and more.

It's shit like that which makes me wonder how this guy can be defended or even liked? Certainly, people are entitled but I just don't understand it. Before, I could understand it but more and more as we go, it's boggling my mind. Even Taylor Hicks was nowhere near as bad! My God! As those people said in Idolatry, he's getting a pass by the judges for effort and it seems he is getting a pass from alot of fans too. This isn't elementary school!It's one thing to suck earlier in the season but Danny's performances last week were regarded across the net and in many polls as the worst in top 4 history, even over Jason Castro! I realize people stuff the ballot but the guy turned into a joke last week.

There is only one way to save this season IMO. He needs to go. I don't even like the idea of him being in the finale anymore (even if it means him getting to the finale and getting humiliated when Adam celebrates in front of him) because I think a message needs to be sent to the judges and the show to put an end to this shit. I know the Adam pimpage is out of control too but at least the guy has never tanked and doesn't walk around acting like he can do anything on stage and still get voted through. Ugh! :angry:

It's official. I've never disliked an Idol contestant more then Danny Gokey and that is saying ALOT!

If Kris goes home this week, I kind of hope that Danny wins the whole show.

For one, I can't stand Adam Lambert. He grates my nerves something fierce. Danny does too, but he hasn't been pimped nearly as hard as Adam so I want him to win just to piss off the producers. I mean, if Adam wins, I'll get to be happy that Danny lost. If Danny wins, I'll get to be happy that Adam lost and be happy that the producers didn't get their way. Plus, I would love to see all the pissed off Adam fans bitching about how they thought for sure he'd have it in the bag only to watch him lose, LoL. Honestly, he'd be better off without winning the show anyway. The last thing he needs is to be stuck with a stupid post-Idol record deal that waters him down artistically. Second place is better for him in the end.

It sucks that the show is so close to being finished and the two people I hate most are probably going to be the Top 2. There's nobody to root for. It's like Dick and Daniele being the Final 2 of BB8. All I can do is find something to root against, and I can't think of anyone worth rooting against more than the producers. If Adam comes in second and Danny wins, this entire season will be a joke. The producers will look like fools, the judges will be pissed... and honestly, there's nothing that would satisfy me more. The only downside to Danny winning is that the dead wife pimpage will have paid off, and that's just disgusting to me. Ugh. Either way, Danny or Adam winning is a lose/lose situation, LoL.

I can't tell you how much it sucks to say this, but if Kris goes home, I think I'm gonna have to root for Hokey Gokey.

As annoying as the Adam pimping is, I just can't see how Danny winning is a good alternative LOL.

You make some great points but is it really worth it? I mean, Danny is just a joke. He's not Taylor Hick bad. He's worse. Even if you hate Adam, do you hate him that much that you would rather see someone that smug and someone who exploited his wife's death in that fashion win? I don't see it. At least Adam is likable, even if one does hate his style.

A couple of weeks ago, maybe I would've felt the same but after what happened last week with the scream and the duet and now what has happened at these homecoming events, no way. How anyone can root for Danny for any reason is incomprehensible to me right now LOL. I don't even think the "he's a better alternative to Adam" option makes sense because I think anyone has to be better then Danny. I could take Taylor Hicks winning over and over again over him.

Besides, the producers are never going to change their ways until both people in the finale bomb and the ratings bomb in the finale. It's not even just about the winner anymore. I don't see that happening so even if Danny wins, the show is still not going to view it as a failure just like they don't view Taylor Hicks as a total failure. Sure, they knew he was a mistake but the ratings for that finale were huge so the whole thing was not a loss. Until it's a total loss on all ends, the show won't stop doing what it's doing and, even if it was a total loss, I still don't think they would stop. Ever since Daughtry, they don't trust the public on their own so the pimping and manipulation will continue until they know for sure it's not working and, frankly, the best way to prove it's not working is by somehow knocking out both favorites before they reach this point. If fans wanted to put an end to this, the best way was to make sure both Adam and Danny were gone. That would show them it wasn't working. It's too late now, even if one or the other goes home this week. They will still think the pimping worked and keep doing it.

I guess we need to hope it doesn't come to that and Kris gets in. I will be voting like crazy and I have a team assembled to help LOL.

Another thing...if Danny were to win, even if he was a flop a la Taylor Hicks, they would still bring him back at times like Taylor. We would still have to see him and his ego would grow even more. Who the hell wants to deal with that? :laugh: .

At least if he loses (either now or in the finale), he will most likely fade away eventually.

You make that sound like a bad thing :laugh: .

Just doing it for your own good. Believe me, you don't want to become a Gokehead LOL.

By the way, something that was mentioned in that Idolatry that I also thought was a good point. Where did all this light (Danny) vs dark (Adam) crap come from? It's been hyped all over. Danny would be the angel/good vs the demon who would be Adam. People were even pointing out the irony of the EW cover with Adam on it because it had a headline on the cover alluding to a story on the Angels and Demons movie. Adam has dark hair and has that brooding look but the guy is not goth or anything. I really don't get that. As Idolatry said, it's apparently one of the reasons the show likes the idea of a Danny/Adam final. It makes no sense to me LOL.

I think what we need to do first guys is see that the producers plans don't work in getting the Danny/Adam finale. Kris is the one that needs to be there over Danny. They have never given Allison or Kris any credit they really deserve. Unfortunately with the extra pimping last week, Allison was the victim because I think a lot of people put in extra votes for Kris because he was completely thrown under the bus.

If for some reason we end up with the Danny/Adam finale I really don't know which one I would want to see win. Honestly I am pulling more for Adam, but it really bothers me to say that as well because I am just sick of all the second coming crap with him. Sure he hasn't been as ego driven by it like Danny, but I am really bothered by all the pimping of him. Part of me would maybe want to see him win simply because I still don't think he is that marketable as everyone thinks and want to see what happens. But I would probably end up voting for Adam just because I am tired of Danny and have never really cared for him at all.

I just see this season in the long run ending up like Season Five. The non-winners will be the ones with consistent success. Allison will be big like Daughtry and Kris will have the success of Elliott Yamin, although I think he will have more. Danny will be like Katherine McPhee where he constantly has singles, but it really goes no where. And Adam will end up being the Taylor Hicks, although as with Kris may have more success, just not the major success they really want from the winner.

I don't get it. Some of us don't like the people you like. You like some of the people I don't like. What is there to get so frustrated over? It's nothing personal.
