While I'm thinking about it -- have any of you noticed that Adam has started doing like little vocal runs while waiting for the next song in his sets at his performances. It's not skat but I noticed that he did this some when performing with Queen too. Not saying that it's like Enya or Enigma but it is sort of humming and vocalizing -- makes me wonder if he might go a little "new age" on us? Just a thought. Maybe just testing the sound, warming up the voice a little bit more... I do think Adam lost because Gokey's votes went to Kris. When I first asked the question "why didn't Adam win?", right after I arrived to the fandom, the first answer was: "Because he's gay and homophobic America didn't want him to win." I was like: "Really?! Are things that bad over there still?!" But then I actually watched the season, and the results videos, and all that, and I realized that Adam had been sandwiched between Gokey and Kris. So it made more sense to me that he lost because Gokey fans would never vote for Adam (they would actually want to vote against Adam). Plus, as much as I love Adam, and as much as I think he's the most wonderful artist in this generation, he's not for everyone (or he wasn't for everyone in an Idol context). The kind of artist that is Kris is more safe, more American Idol-ish. And way more forgettable too.  ETA: It's still unbelievable that he lost, though.  |

I've been looking for the YouTube that shows the press & KISS backstage when the winner was announced. Anyone have it? ******************************************************** These interviews are from the night before the winner was announced. Adam & Kris had sung 3 songs each. Backstage At The 'American Idol' Season 8 FinalCheck stampsgal's post in yesterday's thread, last page - that might be the one? (not on YT though) |

None of them were happy, IMO. lol And look at the WTF faces in the audience. Wow... It's when I see videos like this one that I shake my head and wonder how the hell didn't he win. Even the Kiss guys were like: "WTF??? Noooooo..." I posted this in yesterday's thread ...It is not a youtube but a vimeo ---so I don't know how to load it on the thread....just click on the site, and you can add it your treasure chest of archived information...if it is what you were looking for! Thanks Belle...did not see your post until after I posted!! |

Thank you for bringing Energy to my attention. I LOVE it. Not only do I get to hear Adam's songs (lots of them and often, as it should be on all stations) but I DON'T have to hear Home and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together every 15 minutes. Happiness all around🚧😍🚧.

Of course. And there's evidence all over social media. |

What is Allison doing these days? I have no idea. Aren't you still flailing over JT? No time for Allison now, you gotta stay focused. |

But I've always wondered what "safe" in this context actually meant. Safe from what? Safe from the excitement of watching a passionate performer? Do most people really enjoy music that doesn't get the heart pumping & the blood rushing? Singers where "nothing is going on" to quote AFL himself? I guess they do - or Idol viewers do anyway. Just glad I'm not one of 'em. |
