Adam - Play That Funky Music: That's not singing. It's screeching and screaming, which is all I ever hear when he opens his mouth. His new Eddie Munster hair is questionable.

My first time venture into the Chit Chat section!

Just got done watching Idol. My favorite now is Kris Alan. He reminds of a Jackson Brown-type artist. He sang and played keyboard for "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" and it was amazing, with a very creative arrangement.

He's very unassuming, without the high profile of a few other contestants, but he's a dark horse. His last few performances were great, and his most current one was brilliant. He's one of the rare contestants who not only sings spot-on effortlessly, but has a strong grasp of music, nuanse, taste, and arrangement. This last performance made him my favorite.

American Idol - Season 8
Top 9 (iTunes Downloads)

Last night, I went to a Stevie Nicks CD/DVD signing at Barnes & Noble.

Stevie Nicks held my hand the entire time she signed my DVD and CD. I was shaking (like a leaf on a tree).

I leaned over and I said to her: "You are so cute!!!!!!!"

She looked up at me and said: "AAAWWWWWWW!" and she BEAMED, LUMINOUS.

I went up to Karen and said: "I meant to bring my copy of Destiny Rules for you to sign, but I left it at home!!"

Karen laughed and said: "Nice to meet you" and brushed me off the stage.

Heaven.

Bliss.

Stevie Nicks touched me.

So, needless to say, I was distracted last night. Everybody was very bad except for Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I can't wait to see what they do on Fleetwood Mac Night! When Stevie Nicks holds their hands, I'm sure they will be inspired.

Kris Allen is now my favorite.

I love that questionable photos of him have appeared on-line. including this one:

Yeah he's so cute. I'd hang with him at the beach.

Over me?

I have no idea what is going on here, but Kris is enjoying himself...

Really? I find him very entertaining. I thought his screeching was kind of cool.

Seriously though, I find him more interesting than anyone else this season. Though the 16 year old girl is quite good, too.

Did you ask her about a Mac week on Idol?

I go back & forth about Adam, thought he was screechy last night. But like Jannie said, he's a good entertainer. He & Allison are the only ones I look forward to each week at this point.

Lil was boring & looked/sounded old. Paula actually made sense for once by pointing out that it was a very adult contemporary performance. Megan's song sucked & did nothing to showcase her weird/cool voice. Kris & Scoot were pretty good last night, and I must admit Danny was too.

I think Anoop should go (karaoke yet again) but Megan's probably out.

They were totally lip synching in that Journey intro thing. Omg, Scott was the giveaway.

FMlex · #**251** 04-01-2009, 09:05 PM

HOLD THE PHONE -- There's going to be "Fleetwood Mac" night on American Idol?

Granted, I haven't been watching this season because in my opinion I don't see any standouts.

But if they're going to be singing FM one week then that will be the week I tune in!!

GoldDustOrphan · #**252** 04-01-2009, 09:12 PM

They lip-synch every group number.

Good-bye: Caw Caw.

I can't believe Alison was in the bottom 3.

What is that caw caw business anyway- I think I missed the inside joke on that one. I'm actually glad to see her gone- her attitude sucks. I'll bet she was regretting her words when Simon told her if she didn't care, they didn't either.

I was surprised about Alison, too.

I wonder why I've never noticed the lip synch thing before.

You're not the only one who missed the inside joke.

btw, I'm glad blondie is gone.
Pretty girl, but her singing made me hurl...

I'm glad she said that to Simon. He's a pig.

As for her "caw caw," that was her bird call (complete with flapping arms) she made at the end of her rendition of "Rockin' Robin" during Michael Jackson week.

That's what got her the Vote for the Worst endorsement, so every week she wore a bird on her outfit or hair as a shout out to Vote For The Worst. (Every week except for the week she went home -- she probably got yelled at by the producers just like Sligh did when he said, "Hi, Dave!" on the show). So on her last night, she flaunted it. Good 4 her.
