Posted: 1/21/09 at 4:21pmi really wish this show was about regular people NOT in the profession who want to sing! not people who are professional singers and actors who have done stage work and have had albums released and music videos... this show has completely lost that charm...

But for some of those people, they have had just as much trouble really breaking into the industry.
I would rather have people who have performed before a large audience, or self-released an album and/or have at least peaked the interest of SOME industry insiders, than so-so performers with zero charisma or stage presence.

Broomstick Boy, I have to stop you when it comes to bad-mouthing Adam's technique. The boy can sing and it's obvious he's going for a certain style. Hitting the notes he hits makes the sounds they do--pure and simple. Sure, it is brighter than when a tenor is singing classically, but he is hitting them correctly. Lambert is perfectly placed, perfectly supported, and he knows what he's doing.
The tongue thing is irritating, I will give everyone that. However, it is a technique used to keep the larynx down (the thing in your throat you feel when you crack.) Julie Reiber does it, Idina Menzel does it (though she doesn't have the best technique), and Shoshana Bean uses a form of it where she simply lowers her tongue and pushes it to the front of her jaw. It's not just a thing he does with his tongue--it's how he was taught.
I know, right?

Posted: 1/21/09 at 5:06pmHe was easily one of the best, if not "the" best we have seen so far this season on AI!

He did sing phenomenally and such a charmer.
Will probably make the Top 50.
I do not, however, foresee him winning the competition ONLY BECAUSE I fear he is too-similar to David Cook (moreso by image than sound)
It was so uplifting watching the San Francisco auditions (those are my streets!)

I liked him and thought he was adorable.
But what happened to the other AI thread? I don't see it?

^nahh he's not in group 1 :)
good thing because Danny and Anoop are in group 1 (and due to the annoying format change they made this year, only 2 guys from each group at most can get through)
bad thing because I want to see him perform liveee! haha
Hopefully he'll be in group 2 
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Posted: 2/16/09 at 8:20pmI thought he was pretty good, but I don't know. I mean, sure, all the riffing and stuff is great, but I don't trust someone who is THAT styled. I mean, I feel like he spends four hours a day trying to get "punk."

Posted: 2/16/09 at 9:28pmIs it automatically top male and female from each group and then whichever 2nd place person has more votes? Not strictly the top 3 performers?

Posted: 2/25/09 at 8:30pmah I was trying to figure out who that was! I caught the very end of his audition and was multi tasking, I just heard musical theatre and heard him sing :) lol
HSM- it looks like someone took a shit on Footloose.

Posted: 2/26/09 at 8:18amHe has an incredible voice----amazing range! I wasn't too impressed with most of the singers, but when Adam performed--it was worth the wait.

A good voice is a good voice, regardless of the person's vocal range. To knock a counter tenor down for being a counter tenor doesn't make much sense.
