Lavender1960 – re: Canadian Idol coronation songs. I’ve watched every season of Canadian Idol (and for the record, I have been much more impressed, in general, with the Canadian talent than that which has appeared on A.I., but that is neither here nor there), and I have actually liked the winners’ songs – particularly Kalan Porter’s. Incidentally, Kalan’s coronation song debuted at No.1 on the Cdn. charts and stayed there for 8 weeks; became the biggest-selling debut single by a Canadian artist in the history of the Canadian charts. Maybe us Canadians are easier to please or just really like large doses of fromage (which is quite possible, considering how many Canadians love Celine Dion), but I think there’s a lesson in there somewhere, for A.I.

Finally, I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t believe that they only had the song for about 36 hours before the show. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a song with no hook and ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s jammed with tough lyrics.

I know, ridiculous!! In light of that fact, I’d say they both did a pretty frikkin’ admirable job of remembering *any* of those damn lyrics! Still doesn’t make it (the song) right, LOL. Kara Kara Kara (and the two other writers)…

The producers didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“giveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  Adam anything – he asked. The others could have asked as well. They did not. That is where Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s theatre experience has paid offà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

Exactly! Perhaps the contestants were not specifically told that they *could* ask, but that should not stop any of them from at least giving it a try, since the worst TPTB would do is say no. Adam’s theatre background has given him lots of ideas, why should he not use them if he can? He ought not to be blamed if the others weren’t able to come up with anything comparable. Gokey’s harp, anyone?

I just had an epiphany. Took my dog outside, standing on a hill, overlooking the bay, sun shining, wind blowing fierce, acres of cherry trees in bloomà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I am absolutely positive that Adam will be the Amercian Idol.

he hasnt yet jlc

Hmmm…so he interviewed with the other guy…wonder if that means anything?

I think you guys are missing the obvious – Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m guessing Adam is going to sing with Velvet Revolver. What could be more perfect – they are without a lead singer, and Slash has made comments that he likes Adam. I guess weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll find out.

I like this idea. A lot. I saw V.R. in concert last year and it was really amazing (and this, coming from someone who has never been a giant G’n'R or STP fan). Adam on stage with that band might cause me to faint.

I will buy everything Adam records EXCEPT that G*d aweful à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Karaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Songà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ .
I am tired of hearing that Adam is à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“too theatricalà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . Frankly, when I pay $60 to see a concert, I want some theater.

DITTO!! …Except that most concerts here in Vancouver cost at least $70, lol. Bring on spectacular theatrical *entertainment*!

I dunno, could be just me, but really, having a song with so much lyrical meaning behind ought to have a simple melody to back it up. No Melody is like masking a excellent fish with too much sauce, you taste only the sauce (the vocal acrobatics) and canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t appreciate the fish.

YES!! You hit the nail on the head. If people struggle to understand or hear even one single line in a song, it doesn’t matter HOW ‘meaningful’ the song as a whole is, no one is going to figure out what that meaning IS.

The only thought I’m left with after hearing that song (aside from “OMG WTF is that crap?!? I think I just had an aneurism…”) is “Hurricanes, okay – but what about the tornados, earthquakes & tsunamis? What about Global Thermonuclear War?” Somehow I don’t think that was the intention.

or did he already & I missed it?
