There are only two Kris Allen performances I remember from season 8, "Falling Slowly" and "Heartless". Both of those made me pay attention. Adam's performances each week made me pay attention, his versatility alone made him so fun to watch. What was he going to do next?
What I loved about Season 8 is the range of energy of the performances. Adam was 3rd that evening, signing this sick performance of
"Born to be Wild" and then three performance later, Kris did "Falling Slowly" in the 7th performance slot. I think it was just as strong of a performance, but just on the opposite side of the energy spectrum. I might be remembering Anoop and Matt's performance that night, but they were also low tempo ballads.
It was a good strategy that Adam employed during that season. Performing a song that was opposite of what the majority were doing. It made him stand out.
I haven't followed Idol since season 8, don't know if anyone else has really employed this tactic.

There is one Frankengump pic that I really like (and cannot find). He's in his full EMA get-up and he's leaning back against a wall -- the hair and the clothes just really looked well thought out -- unlike the blue suit, blue creepers and patterned shirt  ! I find it adorkable that he's running to put money in the meter -- see, still "normal" like the rest of us. I hope he doesn't include suspenders in his fashion future......egad. eta: not commenting about the hair, it will change before I decide if I like it or not. |

(experimentally poking my toe in the shallow end  ) I know he wants to be skinny, but who here feels that he's getting a bit TOO skinny?And I actually like the hair. Wonder if we'll ever see him with only his natural hair colour for a future performance or something, though. Hmmmm.... Not me! I think he's just right. The only time I thought he was too skinny was during the Citizen Vein period. I LOVE HIS HAIR! Especially the ginger. I wouldn't mind seeing him go all ginger for awhile. Adam is a Change Agent - one of the things we I love about him. |

Oh I love Adam's hair - where he has it. Where it's buzzed, not so much. He is going all Delilah on his own Samson. On the bright side - I had no idea Adam's bought this picture of Hans Haveron!!! It's my favourite, I have it as my Twitter background;) This is from Haveron Studios FB page, it's probably old news, but I just saw it and it makes me all fuzzy inside;)  Monday, 1 April 2013 at 18:03 Nice frame job Lambert ...thanks for the pic bud*

 So do you think his next tattoo will be a goldfish !! LOL It's not out of the realm of possibility Anything from Hans' art, which he adores and so do I. Plus, it's on his wall now, he has the time to soak the meaning in, because it would have to mean something. Do goldfish mean something? I'm too tired to check it out |

I haven't paid enough attention to know whether anyone else has employed Adam's strategy after, but I've heard that David Cook did it before Adam in season 7. I think KA's Ain't No Sunshine was good, too. But, the thing I remember most about those songs is thinking that Adam coached him. I really don't think Kris could have beaten Danny Gokey without Adam's help. The problem is once Kris beat Danny, KA inherited some of Danny's votes. (This is just my opinion, I've heard some folks say that Danny's voters wouldn't bother to vote, after he left.) |

I just want to say, I know it is an unpopular opinion around here, but I loved the way Adam's hair looked at the EMAs. It was for a special occasion and I thought he looked really cool. That was one of the best days of my Adam-life. I agree, to an extent. It looked super cool and fierce on stage. Up close and personal, not that much, mostly due to the super industrial strength make up he caked on his face. On that note, since then, he's never made the same mistake again, because his skin looks beautifully translucent and healthy. |
