Adam's choices on AI contestants often surprise me at first. But if you think about ones he has complimented (Fantasia, Crystal Bowersox, Hailey Reinhart, Casey Abrahams, Jessica Sanchez, Jacob Lusk,...who am I forgetting?) they all have one thing in common: they sing big. And by big I don't necessarily mean big as in powerful, but big as in bold, confidently, holding nothing back, daring to be different, erroring on the side of too many riffs vs too few. Obviously that isn't enough, and he requires definite vocal skills (think James Durban, who was the only interesting contestant but lacked skills thus wasn't faved by Adam) and I trust him to know more about that than me. From his audition I think Papa Peaches resembles Adam but in a new generation, more immature, less refined and disciplined way. But the boy was brave, proud, unique, had his own direction, and glowed lightness. At least that's what I saw. I think Randy may have been right on this one. Maybe more time would have helped but I am hoping his singing blows people away enough to keep him around long enough that his flamboyancy gets comfortable, even endearing, for a lot of people. And I love that Adam's tweet to him gave him advice. ITA! but somehow, the back of my cynical mind keeps telling me that the "androgynous elf" situation was the top draw...  Yeah, that too! |

Katie Stevens, who was the one who really loved Adam and was delighted to meet him. So, it was a bit sadz.
But in that season they all were somewhere mid-field with nobody standing out and it stayed that way til the end.

I see no pretty androgynous elf in Papa Peaches at all. I mean, I saw it in Cheeks and I saw it in Drake, but this kid? Hell, no! And his attitude has sucked from day one of auditions. And Nicki called him out on it, so did Keith. His group number last night was a disaster! Oooooooo :-S, comparing him in anyway to Adam's demeanor during Idol or now is just so far off, IMO! His bravado is very reminiscent of Durbin, to me.
The other 100% obviously gay guy, who wore the high heels, and sang well? Him I love! Was surprised Adam did not mention him. He must be a part of the "grip of 'mos."
