you don't have long hair!
I just wanted to be stereotyped but I'm really baseball capped for competitions.you don't have long hair!
I think it is the WHO voted column. There are many Americans who didn't vote at all but watched the show, like me.I'm not one to beat a dead horse, but I just listened again to Kris Allen's "Falling Slowly" and quite honestly, that could have been sung better by any beginning glee club singer. Nothing special, nothing stands out. Compared to the vocal quality of Adam and Danny, I am beginning to think America is tone deaf and just into "really nice mainstream guys" for their winner.......on to the next competition......42
Bekalk - You win!!! basically because I do not care about pop music. I'm one of those long haired serious music lovers - very much into philharmonic, opera, recitals, etc.
I should not even be writing about this contest, but I love competitions.
If Kris wasn't in the picture, then who would you have voted for??If all Kris had going for him was vocals and looks, I'd have not voted for him. But Kris won a lot of people over with his creative arrangements of songs.
Do you have any links for the people who said these bolded things??bekalc said:In contrast someone like Danny did not sell his music. Danny had a good voice and a sob story that's it. He was unable to make songs his own or present to the audience who he'd be as an artist. There are tons of singers who can sing well if not better than Danny. Daughtry's producer said that he didn't think Danny was marketable at all. Had no idea what kind of who Danny was as an artist. Allison though in contrast everyone is lining up to work with her.
I don't understand at all what you mean by the bolded above. I kind of thought he did a lot and more than most.bekalc said:Same with Adam. Great voice but what kind of album would Adam make? Given the little Adam did, he didn't actaully sell me the idea that I'd actually like his music or want to buy it. Rather he sold me that he was quite out there musically....
But it was a singing contest, wasn't it???bekalc said:Kris himself said that if instruments were not allowed on the show, that he doesn't think he'd do well. He said it was instruments that allowed him to do as well as he did because he was able to play on his strengths as a musician. I'm hoping that Kris in time will use these skills and make some beautiful music. I think he is talented enough to do so....
Like who???bekalc said:Some of the best singers ever didn't have the best vocals..
Do you think Andrew Lloyd Weber stole 'Come to Me, Bend to Me' for his 'Music of the Night' (Phantom)? :yes: My circle of friends had a discussion about this when the show's tunes were released.I just listened to a recording of Adam singing "Come To Me, Bend To Me" from Brigadoon over at UTube.com & was blown away by the beauty & purity of his voice. The boy can sing any type of music. It's all up to him.
Hi Show, did you listen to 'Anybody Listening?' Be still my heart, wow!!!!Just listened to it.........my gosh, that was gorgeous..........he's a wonderful tenor............42
