I woke up this morning to a phone call from a relative saying, “I can’t stand Adam. He screams in every song and his tongue sticks out like a panting puppy when he does it…”
I couldn’t agree more. Seriously, can this Lambert guy ever sing one song on American Idol where he doesn’t scream like a banshee?
People either love him or hate him — there’s no in between. You either think he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread or think he’s a Broadway-bound over-the-top screamer. His version of “One” actually started out great for the first half and then he went into his usual screaming fit.
To me, the best song of the night was actually a song I hate, but the version was pretty damn impressive. Kris Allen took Kanye West’s “Heartless” and did his own version, much like The Fray’s cover:

As for Danny Gokey… yeah, he was good a few seasons ago when his hair had more grey and his name was Taylor Hicks. It should come down to Kris and Adam… and, sadly, Lambert will probably scream his way to the victory.
I’m really surprised that the judges have not once complained about his screaming in every song. There has not been one week that he hasn’t screamed. Not one.
This article appears in May 12-19, 2009.
Adam is AMAZING@! He is so talented and has entertained us all season. He has earned the Idol crown. Vote Adam@!
I am also proud of Adam because I work for the VA and while Adam was home he went to Miramar to sing for the troops and their families. He also visited the kids at his high school drama and signing departments and went back to the performing arts center where he started performing. He is truly the most talented and should win American Idol Vote Adam!
Sorry but you lost that screaming crap the minute Danny opened his mouth and spewed forth Scream on Scream on Scream on all over America.
Umm, are you forgetting “Tracks of my tears” and “Mad World”? There was nothing even resembling screaming in those.
Pretty much agreed.
While I dont dislike Adam as much as you do, I do however agree with you on his screaming. He’s also become very predictable in his unpredictable-ness. Does that make sense?
Yeah, porbably not.
Everyone expects him to go far out there and put a crazy (yet, mostly genius) twist on anything he does.
Kris’ ‘Heartless’ was probably my favorite last night also.
I’m hoping he doesn’t go home tonight. While I do love Danny Gokey, I wasn’t as impressed with his performances last night as I was with Kris.
Kris is just a simple, guitar playing, good singer.
While Danny fills all of his performances with too many fancy runs, and Adam hits the high squealing notes.
Perhaps America needs a little simple in their lives?
Either way it pans out, all three guys will have a great amount of success.
I wish them all the best as they are all very talanted.
I think this may be the first season I’ve really liked all top three contestants.
I’m betting the votes will be very close.
