Does it seem to anyone else that idol is using James to attempt to make Adam less special? I understand why they would want to dull his legacy. Idol gave us Adam, but he also destroyed it for me. I didn't know if I was so far in the bubble to feel this way. no more than they tried to use Adam to destroy David Cook's IMO. Adam is unique enough that no matter what they say about James it can't detract away from everything that Adam brought to that stage and fretting about Adam's "idol legacy" is futile. In the long run, if all goes well, Idol will be a mere footnote in the legend that is Adam's career. |

I didn't know if I was so far in the bubble to feel this way. I do not think so. I think Idol is trying to use Adam's success to answer critics questions about the failure of the last two winners to sell many albums. Look at yesterday's news and the Ken Warrick comments about Adam. And clearly the producers were trying to create an "Idol moment" with James performance last night. IMO those moments in the past were created by the contestants, not the producers. This year, the producers and Jimmy are picking the songs, Idol is arranging the music for them, they are being styled, etc. Cook, Adam, Kris, etc created their own breakthrough performances. |

American Idol is part of Adam's past, a good part, but has nothing to do with "what comes next."
Nothing anyone does on there, including win the title, has anything to do with who Adam is at this moment or what he will do in the future. It is nice when he goes back to perform, but it's nice when he performs on Ellen or Leno, too.
I don't understand why people search out trouble or slights. There is so much positive to celebrate that everything else should be left to the non-believers and the naysayers. Heap the enthusiasm on him, keep him in a cocoon of encouragement and love so when he decides to lurk somewhere, he leaves with a smile and a feeling of invincibility.
Life's tough enough sometimes, even for a superstar, so give him a haven.
Back to LA tomorrow, hope it is sunny and warm for the weekend. Viper Room

Adam had a breakthrough moment with a chair and a blue light... how anyone thinks that can be usurped by a twitchy kid with big ears and a drum line is beyond me ;D |

Q3 - Your last paragraph reminded me of the first episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show. After he had interviewed her for a job at his newspaper, Lou Grant said to her, "You've got spunk". MTM smiled. Then he said, "I *hate* spunk." These producers, etc. are the Lou Grants at AI. |

No one has said that James is as good as or better than Adam. It's a different season. Just because James is doing - or trying to do - the rock wail doesn't mean he's trying to be Adam. So James wore a similar outfit to what Adam wore - imitation is the best form of flattery, if it was even imitation. The Idol people could have picked it out - if so, compliments to Adam because he wore something similar first and they remembered it and liked it. If Casey wears a plaid shirt next week, will people accuse him of imitating Kris? IMO, no one on Idol will ever match Adam's talent. But he's not competing on the show anymore. Sorry to sound grouchy, It's just apples and oranges to me. I'll go back to lurking now. |
