This season was really tough because four or five of the guys were all the same for me, kind of mellow boy-band R&B. One was blind. One was Indian. One wore hats. And one strummed guitar. The guitar guy won, right?

Brilliant Summation

In real life, if you are compelled to speak about someone, you need to learn his/her name. It’s a sign of acceptable manners even though it’s not a requirement for this board.

So now we know that there are smaller group performances of Can’t Hurry Love and Beggin’. I wonder if this is to end the first half? It seems like the top 4 aren’t doing any group performances other than the very end.

IIRC, this makes sense to end the first half of the show – they’ll usually close with a group number of the bottom 5 (or 6) leading into intermission.

Not sure I like the Kradam collaboration idea. Haven’t they said repeatedly that they know their styles are so different (which they are), and, though it’s not impossible for 2 different performers to collaborate (and do it well), I’m still not sure how well it would work with the two of them.

For anyone that cares, Anoop and Megan are not dating. lmaoo

:down_tb:

Not that I would’ve likely seen Adam anyway — the Bowl is huge with thousands of people everywhere. But still…

Really interesting answers! For anyone that cares, Anoop and Megan are not dating. lmaoo

Hey, I care! I think it’s because they aren’t many in this group you can start the dating rumor about, and the paps seem to catch them together in photos. Of course they are dating!

Speaking of someone with no filter ‘ ¦ Gene does seem to love Adam though.

It sounds like back-handed compliments at best to me. Gene Simmons, slimeball that he is, has figured out that the press will pay attention to him if he talks about Adam, especially if he sounds controversial. It’s what Gene Simmons has been doing for decades- staying famous by being outrageous, rather than producing music anyone wants to hear.

there’s also a short article about Kris and Adam on Access Hollywood but it basically repeats the People article. I do love how Adam names everyone he works with while Kris is the opposite in which he is very tight-lipped.

According to Lyndsay Parker, in part of her interview with Lil, a few of them are doing Mad Con’s Beggin as part of a group performance. I asked her per twitter (hehe.. it’s funny how it’s so easy to get some answers now) if everyone was in it or just some, and she said that it’s not all of them but Anoop is in it. So now we know that there are smaller group performances of Can’t Hurry Love and Beggin’. I wonder if this is to end the first half? It seems like the top 4 aren’t doing any group performances other than the very end.

Thanks for that – that’s interesting – so looks like they cut down on Megan’s and Michael’s songs (they only get 2 solo’s unlike last year where the bottom two got 3 songs) so there would be more group numbers for the bottom 6. At the same time, there’s more songs for the Top 4.

Um’ ¦why are you refusing to use Kris’s name? You don’t have to like him (I like him but I love Adam), but he’s not Voldemort, you can still be mature and say his name. Unless I’m missing another reason for not saying it?

I’ve read MJ’s rules. I don’t see the one that requires posters to know the names of all Idol contestants. I couldn’t remember the kid’s name during the season and, for me, winning hasn’t made him any more memorable. I make no effort to learn their names unless I really like their singing or they are really hot (and female).

I think it’s great that his fans are excited by his dramatic win. That’s the way it should be. As many opinions about the outcome as there are fans.

Gene Simmons is at it again in an interview with Insidertv:

Adam Lambert’s performance with Kiss on ‘American Idol’ was amazing. But I’m a little bummed you’ve been talking smack about him ‘ ¦

GS: I don’t think I’ve been talking smack at all. In fact, if anything, I’ve been soft-peddling. He’s enormously talented, best talent ‘American Idol’ has had, but I think he killed his career because now the conversation is not about his talent but about his sexual preference. He’s done. You’re forcing people to deal with issues they may not be interested in. Life is unfair, and the masses don’t all live in L.A. They live in Wisconsin and Nebraska, and you’re on crack if you think the same rules apply there. My advice is still the same, shut the f*** up, just sing and let people say whatever they want. But I do wish him the best because he’s got all the talent in the world. If only the world was not homophobic, but it is. I would be the first one to vote for equal rights for gay women and men, and get the church and the state to stop telling everybody how to lead their lives, but do I think he’s killed his career? Oh, in an instant. I hope I’m completely wrong. I hope he becomes the next Beatles and proves me wrong.

Speaking of someone with no filter … Gene does seem to love Adam though.

Someone mentioned on another site that Adam is at the Adele concert tonight. Busy boy. And from Twitter, Danny is in Nashville and has two meetings tomorrow. Hmmmm…

So now we know that there are smaller group performances of Can’t Hurry Love and Beggin’.

I guess this is going to be more S6 tour, less S7 with the different group performances and all that. I didn’t go to the S6 one, but I heard it was better format-wise than last year’s, so that’s fine by me.
