Well, I like Aaron, so someone does like him...Of course I don't expect to see him at the very end, nor would he deserve it over Lee or Crystal, but he's good. I loved David Archuletta his year, but I am glad David Cook won.

Best concert for me was Ann Murray and The Gatlin brothers the night I got my engagement ring and my fiance got mad at Kenny Stabler who was sitting on my other side. I won the tickets and got front row center seats and all the action I wanted--or didn't want, for that matter!
Marriage lasted 30 days. Did you get that he had an anger problem?!
Best ever concert where someone in my immediate vicinity didn't try to steal the show? Gary U.S. Bonds or Gordon Lightfott...except that Gary ruined my leather shoe drinking champagne out of it...so there's that center of attention crap again

Okay, best performance by anyone in a concert or show? Adam Lambert last year on the Idol Tour. No one even paid attention to the quiet Idol winner after Adam performed. They performed in order of when they went home, so it was all the others, then Adam, then Kris...and it was totally anti-climatic. I like Kris, but who could out perform Adam on a stage?

Okay, I have stalled long enough to go home from work now!! and I do think Aaron is a lot better than Tim. I would never buy a CD of Tim and I probably would be one of Aaron's...just sayin'

I agree that Aaron is a better singer than Tim, but I don't think he's anywhere near Archuleta's calibre (and I wasn't an Archie fan in his season but I think his voice is simply fabulous).

I'm betting that Adam blew the other idols off the stage in the live tour. The man was made to perform on a stage...what was the tour planner thinking?

LOL about drinking champagne out of your shoe.

Haven't seen anyone mention it but it's Sinatra Week, with Harry Connick Jr. mentoring and arranging the songs. NO guitars allowed (this means you Casey!)

You know the thing is this would probably have been a good week for Siobahn.

Has Lee sung with a guitar pretty much the whole season too? This year's crop seems to be the most musical...Casey, Lee, Crystal...they've all been glued to an instrument most of the season. Even Mike has played guitar on occasion.

I'll be glad to see some of these people singing without hiding behind their guitars. I think both Casey AND Lee have used an instrument almost every time they've been on stage, if not every time. At least Crystal has just stood on stage and sang the song.

I love HCJr so am looking forward to hearing what he has to say. Not so sure any of the rest of these can really do Sinatra justice so am adopting a "wait 'n see" attitude. Of 'em all, I think Crystal might do it best, though.

I'm not sure about Casey but Lee has sung twice without a guitar.
Lips of an Angel and The Letter(Miley Cyrus week).

I am too lazy to go look far back in the thread right now, but I remember someone wanting the studio recording of Adam Lambert's "Mad World". I ran across it today in usenet and downloaded it. Does the person who wanted it still want it? I figure it would be ok to post since it's not being sold anyplace online anymore.

I was the one who wanted it. I'm not sure if what I have is a studio recording, so I'll take it!!! :-)

Who picks these theme nights? How do you take songs that are so recognizable from an artist, have another artist do the arrangements, thereby taking all options of "changing it up to suit your style" from the contestants, and then throw them out on a stage and expect them to be able to be fresh and exciting?

Idol has now picked Lee as the winner. I like Lee but don't see starpower from him. Same with Aaron. Casey might not be the best singer but he has those great looks that I think could have served him well. Big Mike has a beautiful voice but he's so cheesy! Crystal is unique but again...star?

The judges just phoned in the auditions this year.

I don't see major stars in any of the finalist. More like niche singers. Casey and Aaron can go over to country and will probably be successful (Casey more than Aaron). Crystal is good, but I think her appeal to the buying market is not in the superstar category. Lee will probably be like Kris Allen, but I could also see him in the country category. Big Mike, not sure where he might land.

Lee needs to find the 'right' people to help with his album. He seemed to really connect with HC Jr, moreso than any of the others. If HC mentored him on his future album, Lee could do very well with it.

Kookliebird I agree with everything you mention about Lee. I hope Lee wins the final. I think Alex was much better than American voters decision he was voted off too soon, better than AAron and Casey..like I said my thoughts only.

Trini I said the same thing to my coworkers today. Alex left too soon.

All I can think is that article I read a while back was right: Adam Lambert killed American Idol. No one can measure up to the level of showmanship he gave us last year.

I know it's hard to believe, there are a lot of us out here who didn't particularly like Adam ;/

Adam was a hard act to follow. This season is very bland compared to Adam.

I wasn't a fan of Adam's either. Too much screeching. Siobhan started out as my favorite until she went the screeching route.

I really don't think any of these people are going to make it big in the music industry. JMHO!
