I don't see what else it could be. A parody of Press Party?  |

From what I'm reading, the album support is most critical. I'm not comfy without a physical copy in my hand, so can't wait to order the album, via Amazon or just buy it from Walmart or Target.

Joey voice is a gimmick. It's part of her schtick. Her MW was more serious than usual, but it was certainly not in the same class as Adam's MW. It was not hauntingly, breathtakingly beautiful. I think we have to stop getting angry and frustrated when others say anything nice about anything Adam has done earlier...it is ludicrous to think we should table anything he sang on idol....or fcs, sitting on a stool!!?? Perry Como famously sat on a stool so using this framework, Adam had no right to sing on a stool. We hate it when A is/was constantly held to the Freddie standard [and often found lacking] yet we blithely do that to others. If you just say 'in my opinion' or 'I have a hard time enjoying' that is fair....but another version is just schtick....that is patently unfair, IN MY OPINION. And it is disingenuous to claim his version was perfect when the last note was horribly off....I love his version and it is epic...but perfect...not. Joey's version was not for everyone, I am sure...just as Adam's Queen is not for everyone [hard as that seems to understand]....but she was really good and I do not for a minute think it was schtick. There are 3 or 4 especially talented kids on the show this year and Joey is one of them, that are really unique and creative. I think that is what has been missing for a long time on the show and it is really good to see. ymmv Joey is cute and fun. She's one of my favorites this season. Her Mad World was predictable Joey and when I saw the stool I laughed out loud. I really thought she meant it to be funny. I hope she did. Schtick does not have any negative connotations in my head.

Here are my 2 other comments on Joey's performance:
I usually like Joey very much, but not only did she sing Adam's version of MW, she sat on a stool! Unforgivable!!!!

I honestly don't know how you can say I'm angry, frustrated, or wrong. (I'm going to get in trouble again. Wait for it: 3, 2, 1,...) |

I must be one of the very few who have never liked Mad World as a song and although I can appreciate what Adam did with it, it is far from my favorite Idol performance (that hat belongs to Ring of Fire)... it is also the only minor disappointment that I've had from Adam performing that we got Mad World as encore at my GNT show not 20CB, but I digress.
Joey fits into what I call the ingenue brigade. We have a boatload of them here in oz. Quirky girls with quirky voices (who can sing but have some affect to the way they do it). So in general I am kind of over it. That said US might be ready for a mainstream quirky girl so who knows - I think in a quirk off though Jax probably has her purely on image.

I can't comment on Joey or Idol this season because I am only watching The Voice. (Unless Adam returns to Idol for a show.)
***
I could not care less about who sings songs that Adam sang on Idol. I would care (in a good way) if someone sang an Adam Lambert song on Idol or The Voice (in the US). Maybe TOH will give us that song!

For a major promo week, it has been very very very quiet. No info leaking, nothing, nada! :(

I've been watching Idol too. During one of the breaks last night a Facebook friend posted: "Watching American Idol...Even though I am still mad!! The one they tell every week she is singing off key made it again!!!" (I have no comment on that but several people commented on her post & they all said Idol was pretty weak & the Voice has better singers.) Then this guy comments: "American Idol went to crap after Adam Lambert. He should've won. But that's another story for another day."
She replied: "Yes Adam Lambert is one of the best they have had!!!"
I was really really surprised to see this posted because these are hard-core Southern folks down here. Really religious & right-wing conservative & they mostly listen to southern rock & roll. But apparently Adam impressed them! And for a southern guy to admit that he likes Adam Lambert, well.....that's pretty epic. I was sooooo happy!    |
