Can someone clarify which night Adam will be at the AI finale please? I started to programme the recording from the first night and was going to series link it, just to be sure of not missing anything important (i.e. Adam, Sauli and MyS*&@^#r50). BUT, I've got a programme clash on the first night and have 2 other things I really want to capture; soooooooooooo, I would rather not lose my other programmes for the sing-off if there's no real reason to :-/. Help please folks :D Wednesday night. Idol starts at 7:00 pm Central Daylight time. Thanks crazylady: I thought he was due to be a the results night, but didn't want to risk it. That's going to be Thursday night in the UK. Of course by then I'll know if there's anything to see, so times of any sightings would be reeeally useful  . |

I don't remember when I first saw it, but it's been out for a while. It sounds so good, I screencapped it. I might need to take it down, but you can right-click-save it this way.  I want to print this and frame it. Seriously.It made me all  Remember the time we wondered if he'd headline on his first tour? Thank you for posting it 4msrmyn and Zinnia |

My hope for this summer is that we can ignore the baiting game the media will play with James vs. Adam. I don't want to deal with it. It makes me cranky and has no positive purpose. Since the game WILL be played in much of the media, I hope that Q3 will create a sub-forum for this "battle." An Idol 10 tour discussion group? A "media looking for hits" page? Something so that I don't have to see it unless I go looking for it. Hey, I can ask, right?
Yes please. Me too. How about a James is an asshole thread?
Q3 comment: Let's dial it back just a bit. James deserves a bit of respect although, no chance he will get a thread here.

I will not comment. I will not comment. I will not comment. .... Oh, hell. One more time. James' comments sound like the athlete's "trash talking" about the opposition. It generates a buzz and gets attention. It's some sort of throw back macho challenge the alpha thing. And, be prepared..... we are gonna be reading and hearing it over and over again all summer long while the Idol kids tour. The media is gonna be following like vultures, and looking for the carnage if this tour tanks like last year. Whether the country girl or the country guy win, the last two acts of the show are not gonna be thrilling, original, outrageous, visually compelling, provocative, or scream inducing. Comparisons between the "Durbinators" and the "Glamberts" and the vocals are gonna be the best opportunities for hits and readership. And, since James is soooo easy to set up to make a ridiculous or incendiary statement about Adam, it will happen over and over again. We are all gonna have to just tough it out. The real test of James' claims will come with the release of Adam Unlocked and James' yet to be officially announced renaissance of metal album. My predictions: 1. Adam Unlocked is gonna be critically and popularly acclaimed and cement his place as a phenomenal singer, entertainer, and (hopefully) song writer. He will leave the Idol and Glam labels behind and be acknowledged and embraced. 2. James will NOT be releasing a big label heavy metal rock album. Despite his Idol exposure, the industry will not support it. There is absolutely zilch evidence that the record buying public is clamoring for a metal revival. The metal heads that do exist will likely shun an Idol or download the music illegally. There just isn't any profit in it for TPTB. 3. James may release some kind of rock/pop album on a major or semi-major label. It will be highly enhanced with auto-tune and other electronic tweaks. It will have limited success. Male rock/pop is just not happening these days. We all recognize that Adam is the major exception, and it is only because he is so exceptional. James will probably be one of those Idols who make one album and get dropped. Fading away to small gigs with an alt band. 4. If James insists on making a metal album, his only option will be to get released by TPTB and go the indie route. He'll have success at some level in the indie market, but never be a major player. Even going the indie route it's gonna be a tough sell. Does he have the moxie to court and woo the producers and win a chance? Questionable.

Something so that I don't have to see it unless I go looking for it. Hey, I can ask, right? . I have been scrolling by anything with JD in it for some time now - and, although I read pretty much everything with Adam's name on it, I'm darned if I'm going to give James any hits just because he uses Adam's name!! I can't even find it in myself to wish him luck, because he's so cocksure I'm sure he feels he doesn't need any! I really do feel sad for Lee though... |

OT: In case somebody is interested in:
The ash from Island will be here in Southern Finland in about 5 hours, it's going over us towards the Baltic countries/Germany during Wednesday. Will not affect flights to and from Helsinki-Vantaa airport, at least what they now predict.

I love this comment, angelkrash!  I just keep thinking if this is where he got since then, where is he going to be a year from now?  OT- I agree with Adam about Heavy Metal Lover.But generally I have the feeling Gaga is getting closer and closer to her parody here: |

Yup, that's a sort of reality show/contest for "finding true love"... How could I miss this on my own TV?  *mutters about real life getting in the way* |

'GAGA’S AMAZING AMAZON SALE: Today’s unprecedented sale of the new Lady Gaga album, Born This Way, for 99 cents at Amazon has the disc threatening the digital download record of 288k set by Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. Label chief Steve Berman’s thorough campaign has the record blowing out everywhere, with first-week sales estimates ranging from 750k to a high of a million.' Is this why they sold it so cheap? How can they possibly take it into any sort of comparison account when it's being given away ???. |
