For disco night, ADAM SHOULD TACKLE GEORGE BENSONà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢S à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“LOVE BALLADà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP8XqK6C7wc)!!

He can have tender moments with the first part (it’s time for some slow) and display his great low tones at the same time. Then he can kick up the tempo with the second part and have mad fun the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“glambertà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  way! This performance will (1) definitely stand out from the rest and catch everyone by surprise (again), (2) showcase his wide vocal range without compromising the high falsettos he loves to hit, (3) appeal to a wide audience!

If not à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Love Balladà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , then Rod Stewartà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Do You Think Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m Sexyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  or George Bensonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Give Me the Nightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . McFadden & Whiteheadà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ainà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t No Stoppinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  or Sophie Bextorà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Murder on the Dancefloorà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  (re-arrange and pull out killer moves) might prove interesting.

Him performing Diana Rossà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m Coming Outà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  would be hilarious! Ha. Bill O’Reilly would have a heart attack:)

Bottom line, though: Adam Lambert – Love Ballad.

I corrected that and I apologize I dont know him from a hole in the wall, I doubt he is evil but he LOOKED evil and it just made him ugly to me, it was a scary look maybe more than evil – I dont think the others have stood up there and should be perceived as liars by being silent or agreeing with the judges – they just have manners and were taught not to talk back for the most part, I think. Heck, I dont know him at all but I sure felt something that wasnt very nice at all, no one should kiss anyones butt or brown nose, speak your mind if you feel the need just be polite and dont look like you want to actually kill someone and people will be more open and accepting of you and this is show biz and you gots to somewhat, play the game to stay in it, to win it.

Anoops apology was just a little too late, he showed his true evil self last week and people saw that I think and it creeped them out-

There’s a lot of comments out there about how people don’t “get” Adam; well, I don’t “get” how Anoop looking at Kara as if she were insane makes him “evil.” Kara, with the exception of yesterday, has made the most ridiculous comments in the short time she’s been here. Simon and Paula have shown complete disrespect for all the contestants. Even if I got up there and they praised my performance, I would give them the so-called “evil” look because they haven’t shown me a reason to respect them.

Try to think of a teacher you’ve had who played favorites or was unorganized. Did you respect that teacher? Were you more tempted to act up in his/her class or not take it seriously?

I know, I know, it’s show business, not school. However, there’s some basic concepts of human decency and interaction that have been thrown out the window this season. The false praising. The lack of attention. The blatantly unrealistic deliberation. If I were a contestant on the show, I’d be fed up, but still torn between throwing it all away or fighting to win.

All in all, I’d rather see Anoop’s honest and logical reaction to the judges than the lies pushed on us by this show.

In my very humble opinion Adam has crawled and scratched his way up the ladder on Idol with his terrific personality, his great demeanor, and his awesome talent. Other than being given “good” spots in the performance order he hasn’t received anything special from idol that many of the other performers have. It’s easy to say that Adam is where he is because of Idol pimpage rather than to be honest and say that the man has proven himself and swayed the voters with his immense talent and enthusiasm. Geesh!

So yeah, when reasonable minds could differ about Adam’s performance, Simon slammed him, then kicked him and beat on him some more.

Personally, I think they yanked his chain a little with PTFM too, since we learned that he had to switch songs the Monday before the Tuesday performance. Maybe it was a way to test his mettle, maybe they wanted a meh performance, maybe they assumed a disaster given the song and Taylor’s prior cheesefest. But as I said before, Adam stepped up and refused to suck. LOL

Anyway, there’s no denying that Adam is popular and well-liked, and why shouldn’t he be? I think he has enough “stuff” to bring him down, being tossed about gently (?) in the media and what have you. If TPTB are doing as some suspect, maybe that’s part of it, ya know? It’s not that they don’t trust Adam, but rather they don’t trust America (and certain of its longheld hot-button prejudices…)

In the end, I believe Adam totally has the mad talent to bring this one home on his own. And, I don’t think that he should hear otherwise if his performances are good. So great reviews for great performances can’t form the basis of overpimping, imo. YMMV

I guess, if Adam is being pimped, Simon & Co must be seeing dollar signs, which I hope means that the pimpage is based on the fact they think he is mega-talented.

I would think that their pimping of Danny (which they do- big time) would be more in line with what they would want from the winner. I would imagine they would almost be a little nervous about Adam being a “loose canon”…he doesn’t exactly fit into what middle America would spend their bucks on. He must seem to be a bit of a risky venture for them.

And yeah…Adam’s ROF on country night frightened the shit out of a lot of people…including Simon who did not hesitate to give his very negative critique. I thought it was bloody brilliant.

I wish I could drink the Adam Kool-Aid cause then obviously Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d be enjoying this season more

Oh Michelle, save some for me too. :drunk_tb:

I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see Country night so I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know went down, but there are a few indulgences I think the judges could call Adam on, but they never seem to (unless they did on Country night).

Oh, you missed a goody. Randy and Paula liked Adam’s performance of Ring of Fire and compared it to Led Zeplin and Kara said it made her feel weird and happy. But Simon said to Adam “what the hell was that?” He also said it was horrific and that people would be throwing their televisions out the window. Ryan asked Simon the next night if he still felt that way about Adam’s ROF, and Simon said he still thought it was horrible.

Adam didn’t talk back and stood there on performance night. And on results night, when Ryan brought it up again how horrible Simon thought it was, Adam laughed at himself.

Plus you missed the complete awkward mentoring by Randy Travis, who said “I never did see a guy wearing nail polish” followed by “I guess you don’t plan on going to Nashville” to “I don’t know what to make of this guy.”

Overall it was not a pretty night. Adam dropped to #6 on Dial Idol even though he was in the green.

Oh lordy you asked for it and got it and then some – lol – I just disagree that they would call the pimped one overindulgent and horrible a couple of weeks ago, Adam is doin his own pimping performance by performance. TPTB’s pimpee’s this year have changed week to week it seems with Danny still their # 1 – he was good last night, I liked him a lot but he did not deserve all that smoke up his butt – he is still their favorite to win
