The Adam Lambert show

Let me begin by saying that I would like to see Adam and Kris in the final. Adam should go to the end at this point because he has somehow, in some sort of alternate universe move, become the front runner of the season. I've said this before, and I will say it again. I have no doubt the guy can sing, but I do not find his style appealing as a live performer or a recording artist, so I am seriously confused as to why this show is promoting him so heavily. The guy scored the cover of Entertainment Weekly - solo. That shocked me beyond belief. I think the hype is not going to carry through to a successful recording career, but I guess we will see. So let's see what goes down tonight.


Danny -- "Dance Little Sister" I did like the idea of Terrence Trent Darby, but I agreed with Simon that it should have been a different Terrence Trent song. Danny got to sing in his zone, but not a memorable performance or vocal. Paula let Kara have it when she criticized his dancing "I'm a choreographer and I thought you did good." Way to tell her, Paula. Not keeping him in the competition.


Love the Glee commercials. Most anticipated show of the year for me.


Shot to Nigel Lythgoe in the audience -- the ex- executive producer who moved on after last season to focus on So You Can to Dance. Wonder what he thinks.


Kris -- "Apologize" Great song and I think he can pull something great off. Randy and Kara chose it together. It is a hard song to sing. They called him the dark horse -- WHY? I don't know anyone who still wants Danny. The propaganda is beyond. He didn't change it up, but he did a good job. He will get criticized because Kara called it open to interpretation. Randy set him up for success but alluded to him not winning the competition, Kara called it competent but that he didn't take chances. Paula called out his bum note. Go Simon for saying to Kara that her comment was a cop out. "You can't choose a song for him and then blame him for doing the song." YES! Apparently, Simon helped Adam work out the arrangement but Randy and Kara did not. What? The judges got involved with the contestants? This is so messy. He didn't blow it out, but he still sounds good.


Adam -- "One" Simon got permission personally from Bono for Adam to sing this. He opens with a dark acoustic verse in a really nice part of his voice. It was definitely theatrical, but I actually liked it. And then Adam transformed into shrieky Mary J Blige. Obviously he wants to be a woman. Randy thought he went off the melody and I agree I didn't love that. Kara called him a strategist and unbelievable. Paula loved the song choice and called him the American Idol. Simon thought it was brilliant song choice and brilliant performance. And he has to be in the finals or it will be one of the biggest upsets of the competition. I am sick of the Adam perfect love.

You know what? I changed my mind -- kick Adam off, let it be the biggest upset and let Danny and Kris duke it out. They will always say he should have won anyway.

Carrie went to Africa. Idol Gives Back helped get malaria out of their lives. Whatever, I wish Idol could help get Adam out of my life. No seriously, it's nice -- I have donated to Idol Gives Back because those shows made me cry like a baby.

Danny -- "You are so Beautiful" Good choice. Finally he sings a nice sweet soft melody. Where has this Danny been for the past 10 weeks? Then the build, into drama, I remembered the dead wife and it brought tears to my eyes. Gorgeous. Well done. Shoot, Kris is in trouble. Randy said he could really, really, really sing. Kara thought it was stunning. Paula's earpiece talked about chord structure. Simon called it a vocal masterclass. I think the judges are most happy because they can justify the Adam / Danny finale.

Kris -- "Heartless" Kanye West song. I'm nervous. Come on Kris! Beautiful voice! Him and his acoustic guitar. Modern, fresh, cool and great vocals. I can't wait for his album. I don't care what they say and he doesn't either. Randy loved it. Kara thought it was bold, brave and fearless. Perfect. Paula made a dumb joke but called him relevant which is true. Simon says he had written him out of the competition. That has now changed after that performance. I thought this was one of the best performances of the season. I am texting 5702 VOTE 1000 times. Ryan then told him it has been a great season, hope to see you again. What is wrong with the subliminal messages?

Adam -- "Crying" I like this song. He did a good job but the musical theater mix into the high notes bothers me -- why does everything have to go up that high? Randy called him one of the best they have ever had on the Idol stage, Kara says we will be seeing him in the finals, Paula acts as if she is the only judge who pushed him as a finalist from the beginning THEY ALL DID! Simon wanted to make sure that the audience does not assume he will be in the finals, and votes to put him there. Great, my loophole is gone. Adam was very humble about his competitors which was very nice. I will say that despite all the hype around him, Adam has not been a pompous jerk, and I give him credit for that. Ryan then gives another subliminal message and says to Adam. "It's gonna be a fun week next week."

So look, I don't think Adam will get kicked off. But I am hoping and texting that Kris will be there with him so we can see him again. Although the judges will probably not give an inch to Adam's competitor, so maybe it will be better for Kris to just get out and release his version of the Kanye song. It isn't worth competing. Let's see what happens folks. I hope no matter who is in the top 2, they put on a great show. And then let's hope the finale show is as fun as last year's -- can't beat the magic of David Cook, but I hope they try.

Good night friends -- oh and for those I didn't personally call or email, please go see Star Trek - it is a fabulous, clever, fun, adventure ride. And it made me unashamed to call myself a newly made Trekkie. Although, I am never ashamed of my obsessions...but even I wouldn't watch the finale of Celebrity Apprentice (ha, ha)
