    @movin2thabeet- I think Tim would be well advised to go the acting route-teen idols have extremely short careers,and acting could pan out to be money for life,I think Alex is perceived as a much more viable product long term,by his bosses.My friend Dora watches IICD-I never have time,and she told me an extensive list of co-writers ,and producers that blew my mind including the Avila Bros.-who wrote and produced lots for Janet Jackson,and Usher;other writers were-Jason Reeves,and like 15 other elite ones.They would NEVER do that for anyone unless they saw massive potential.I’ve never even seen an AI winner with the level of co-writers and producers they are getting him.And the funny thing was the least of the writers I found were David Hodges,and Eman-and though they’re overrated-they are not that bad…

    Sure these producers and writers would do it for massive $$ lol

    Exactly. If Simon Fuller calls you up and offers X amount of dollars to do him a solid, it seems like those “usual suspect” stable of writers and producers are more than willing to oblige. Again, I think Alex is the most viable candidate from IICD to utilize these resources on, but certainly not in comparison to many of the other Idol finalists from this season. He’s in the right place (IICD house) at the right time (when Fuller wants to lend credibility to his project and one-up Sony/The X-Factor). I’m sure some would say that there’s a reason Alex was put in the IICD house, but my opinion is that it’s just another case of trying to make fetch happen.

    tim urban is way more talented than casey james, I’ll give you that, … idol s9 was a big joke, oh! poor kids, the “short” tour is as far as their careers are gonna go

  • Finnegan Bell

    All I know is there are tons of kids who are ready now that don’t have anywhere near the backing he seems to have.

    Those tons of kids doesnt sound nearly as good as Alex. T I really dont see the big deal since this gig is not at all BIG and really just fitting for his level of live experience.

    Do tell, in what way is he more talented?

  • tessa

    gorgeous vocals!

  • JudyL

    I feel like the championing of Alex Lambert is simply to prove that IICD is legitimate

    Exactly. As for the producers and co-writers seeing potential in Alex, very much doubt if anyone would be interested in him except for the Simon Fuller connection.

    He’s mad talented and I love his singing. If he puts out a good record I really don’t care about “dues.”

    Ah, good for Alex. I think the IICD house was the best opportunity for him. Alex needs the nurturing and guidance he appears to be getting from the IICD team. I don’t begrudge Alex for getting these opportunities. I disagree with the idea that AI contestants should yield to their fellow contestants who go further in the AI competition. People need to look after themselves.
