Any idea why I cannot watch on my ipad, the YT links 4Msrmyn has in the Idol archive?? Tells me movie cannot be loaded. Works fine on my laptop. When you create a youtube channel and upload your own videos to your channel you have settings that need to be set to your preferences. One of the settings for each new video you upload is called syndication. The youtube subscriber who owns and uploaded the video needs to set this on "Yes, make this video available on mobile...." If they have it set to "No, this video should not be set to mobile...." it will not play on your mobile device. It is a setting that can only be done by the owner of the channel. I've taken a screen shot of a portion the settings page of one of my videos so you can see where this is done. I don't think this is done intentionally all the time. I think there are instances where the channel owner is not aware of the setting. ETA: The ipad is considered to be a mobile device. I thought I had heard that You Tubes won't play on i-Pad because you can't install Adobe Flash Player? Maybe it's just an urban legend?

Most youtube's play on iphones and ipads, unless like I mentioned, the video is not set to. Youtube's do not require Flash. Flash is not available on iphones or ipads.

Reihmer, I agree with you on that anime music. Would be absolutely beautiful with OOL.

Another piece of info mys*&@^#r & rad, iphones & ipads come with a pre-set youtube app. I never use the app when searching for youtubes. You will have more success if you search youtube from Safari. You can go to youtube.com and from the home page, create an icon that will show up right on your iphone or ipad home screen for easy access for future searching.

Susie, there are two discussions going on. One, the comparison of Satisfaction videos....the other the texts posted as Jacob reviews here in today's thread. These are two different topics. The satisfaction videos are just a labeling issue, it does not matter a lot, and no there were no rehearsal videos ever available, to my knowledge.
The Jacob reviews... imo there were earlier versions where he was critical of Adam and then came around to him because he recognized the talent. The presently posted version reads that he is in awe of Adam from the first audition onwards and I and a few others are recalling this differently. I have no recollection what he ever wrote about Kris, because I don't care and to be honest never have cared enough to remember. I did at some point read the complete Jacob reviews (all of AI8), but my brain refuses to retain anything but Adam...wonder why that is.
Hope that clarifies the confusion.

I guess I am missing the differentiation then. I'm clueless about the "Satisfaction" dress-rehearsals. I don't think I knew it existed, except in a YouTube compilation video. Or maybe I heard about it peripherally, but shrugged it off. Either way, it does prove how exceptional Adam is either way. I still enjoy Jacob's take on the season, though I don't agree with much of what he's said since, as in-the-moment commentator, he's pretty good. Reading back on what you said, I don't know that anyone is thinking Jacob was all about Adam right off. He wasn't. He was rather harsh for lame, arbitrary reasons, actually.

Hope that clarifies the confusion. omigod, has anyone here figured out a way to have a life and stan Adam at the same time? Because I'm having a ~leetle trouble...and this is the slow time!!! I keep thinking, that's it, I'm done, and then I sit down at the computer to do *work* and I think, hmm, wonder what's going on at ATOP? And then I find myself caught up in some discussion or another, regardless of whether I post or not. I get the feeling you all are better at multi-tasking than I am.... Anywayyyy....thank you (I think, haha) to whoever posted the AI rehearsal vs. performance link -- I have been wanting to watch that. Which reminds me, do we have the AI confessionals archived? I've never seen those -- guess I should check the AI section. I suspect 4Msrmyn (hope I've got the name right -- if not, I'm sorry!) has it there. My 2 cents on Jacob --- I didn't discover Adam until season 8 was almost over, and it took me a couple more months to discover TWOP. But I remember reading Jacob's essays after the fact, and LOVING them. He's got such a funny, eccentric and yet in some weird way spot-on view of things. And his writing is great, if a little hard to decipher at times. Very impressionistic. I remember LOVING the way that he was won over by Adam. I do remember him being somewhat disdainful and even caustic in the beginning, but that made his comments as he fell under the spell even more satisfying to read. Disappointing if those early negative impressions have been lost, because that was part of the fun of reading his Adam journey. One thing I think I remember clearly (ha) is that he didn't initially recognize Adam in his TOMT suit, and after the performance he said that Adam had a voice like angels ice-skating. Going to read what's there now... ETA: have ONLY read Jacob to see what he said about Adam, lol. Have no idea what his writing is like now. But I thought I remembered him saying that he was finished writing about AI at the end of season 8 -- and then he wasnt. I wonder if he stayed and his heart's not in it? Because of course, it's all about Adam, why would anyone be interested in a season without him? ;D

Or maybe I heard about it peripherally, but shrugged it off. Either way, it does prove how exceptional Adam is either way. No discussion about Adam's quality happened, just stating that dress-rehearsal video does not exist (except for the final 8 seconds). People thought it did exist and posted the three versions. I explained that these were truly only two versions. Just a clarification - that's all.I still enjoy Jacob's take on the season, though I don't agree with much of what he's said since, as in-the-moment commentator, he's pretty good. Agreed.Reading back on what you said, I don't know that anyone is thinking Jacob was all about Adam right off. He wasn't. He was rather harsh for lame, arbitrary reasons, actually. He himself seems to think that now, that is the issue. Here is what he writes about the audition (Jan 21, 2009): www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/american_idol/auditions_san_francisco.php?page=8 (read the last two paragraphs on that page). And I fully agree that Jacob's write-ups were a delight to read and very insightful independent on whether he had a positive or negative view. I would like if we could find the original write-ups though, which presently seem to be lost.
