Milwaukee resident lands spot on ‘The Voice’ – Gokey has helped his friend prepare for life as a singing-show contestant. “I told him, ‘Stay off the Internet,’ ” Gokey said. “People’s opinions can get inside your heart and poison you. . . . I think he’s far more advanced than I was on ‘American Idol.’ His sound, mind and heart are in a better place than I was.” And Rogers insists there’s “no temptation” to return to the life he once lived. “I was miserable, unhappy, suicidal,” he said. “I felt like I had no purpose. Now I’m full of purpose. I never before understood so clearly what I’m supposed to do in my life. – Read more at JSOnline

    Colton has more of a punk band voice, Kris is pop/rock. If you can’t tell the distinct differences then I’d suggest you see an otologist. Completely different styles.

    Ringo I understand where you’re coming from.As a fan of Kris’s I can see that Colton has a similar break in his voice but to me they have a very different tone . I also happen to like Colton’s voice as well but for a different reason to Kris’s voice.Another thing that makes them similar is that they are both very passionate when they sing a song. I like the music Kris does & the same goes for Colton but I don’t really feel the need to compare them -I think they both also have their own unique appeal.

    Ryan Seacrest may be leaving the show, or getting one more job.  The Today Show just retweeted this.

    Colton sounds nothing like Kris. I am talking just about their voices.

    Sorry, I know I’m like the 10th person to tell you that.

    I love P2. I just think he is so damn likeable. His voice, it’s alright. xD

    I  listened to the youtube you posted, and imo Colton stomped all over a great Lifehouse song just as he did on the live show. I did like his performance the previous week of Piano Man however.
    I would never say listening to Colton that he sounds like Kris though. His tone is very different. And I still think unless he and Phillip start singing better they are not going to win. (Penises notwithstanding).

    I’m not a Kris fan, but I recognize his talent. He is a much better singer than Colton.

    A little bit OT.
    My Direct TV in Orange County (Los Angeles area) has cut off CW channel (channel 5) because of the owner of the channel has remove it from the tv lineup.
    Anyway, I can not DVR Hart of Dixie, Vampire Diaries, Nikita. Darn it.
    I have to watch it live through regular satellite. It is a pain.
    We’ll see how long this lasts.

    I listend to TVOL–it’s weird, Kris’s voice has a kind of clean sound (for lack of a more technical word, lol) that is pleasant to listen to, but the tone of his voice or his style of singing isn’t distinctive to me–it sounds too similar to other people.  Which is totally subjective of course.  

    ETA: um I realized that might have sounded passive-aggressive. I didn’t mean it like that–I was just trying to figure out why I could enjoy his voice without finding it memorable.

    I’m not watching idol. Watching half of the one season was enough–I’m glad it exists as a platform for talented singers, but idk, I can’t deal with it.

    I love Hotelangel’s YouTube reviews! I started watching them in Season 8, and at first half the humour (for me) came from his North Carolina accent and rapid-fire delivery, but he speaks a lot of common sense as well.

    Some of the bloggers can be overly analytical or else they seem to hold the show in contempt, but this guy is a genuine lover of the show who just says straight up whether he loves or hates something. And he’s damned funny.

    I love that, too. I don’t always agree with him (his music taste is dramatically different from mine), but I love how un-media influenced he is. It is refreshing to get a true opinion like his.

    I know how you feel about Idol. Ever since I started with season 8, I always wonder if I should start back watching it once each season is over. I think it is because I have always known what was happening from the sidelines, so I’m a fan of Elliot and Kimberly and Carly for instance without me watching the show. Knowing the winners is obvious. I know all of their names more than the people who have tuned in for all 11 seasons.

    With all the criticism I have for Idol, I have from the very beginning been defensive of it in that it is a great vehicle for emerging singers to get an insight to what the music industry is like (which is it can be a bitch sometimes, LOL)

    You have seen how Lee Dewyze performed on the season 9 finale, right? I dunno, that already makes me doubt how people are going to vote accordingly.
