To my mind, the only thing that should count for or against a contestant on <I>Idol</I> is his/her series of performances on <I>Idol</I>, and since that's what I'm judging and commenting on, that's all I want to see.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413428735864060575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-197546716066525042009-05-15T07:17:00.000-07:002009-05-15T07:17:00.000-07:00Correction to my earlier comment: the song on YouT...Correction to my earlier comment: the song on YouTube isn't from FINIAN'S RAINBOW, as my mind stubbornly wants to believe.

There's a video on YouTube of him singing a song from "Finian's Rainbow" that is simply lovely.<br /><br />He *can't* and *shouldn't* sing rock, though. He's an actor, giving a lousy performance as a rocker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-70455942399623180392009-04-22T12:44:00.000-07:002009-04-22T12:44:00.000-07:00That's my thought, too, Tessie.

I can <I>maybe</I> imagine myself being entertained at an Adam Lambert concert by the visual spectacle and the razzle-dazzle; I can't imagine myself being moved by the experience, though, because there's no real personality or human feeling behind any of Adam's multiple personae.<br /><br />Reduce him to <I>just</I> the sound of the music by putting him on a CD, and you don't even have the showmanship to keep you entertained.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413428735864060575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-45275541472597383312009-04-22T11:51:00.000-07:002009-04-22T11:51:00.000-07:00Someone needs to break it gently to Matt that he i...Someone needs to break it gently to Matt that he is not Justin Timberlake. <br /><br />Anoop turned "Dim All The Lights" into a lullabye!<br /><br />Adam CANNOT SING. I don't know why the judges are fawning all over him. There's a lot of interest in his persona right now, but I don't think that's going to translate into album sales.Tessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607771448094472721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-78251216518943034592009-04-22T08:28:00.000-07:002009-04-22T08:28:00.000-07:00Hi Keith,

I'm so glad to be able to continue reading your insights here on your blog. As for the show, Kris and Matt were my favorites. Allison has been my favorite for the season but as you say...that just didn't work and yep, she could be in trouble tonight. We shall see!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661594932979959508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-81455871595723950252009-04-22T08:15:00.000-07:002009-04-22T08:15:00.000-07:00That birthing line is great.
