He was amazing Tuesday night....again. I really like this version that he covered from Gary Jules as opposed to the original done by Tears for Fears.

I also really like Allison, she has a great Sass Jordan feel about her.

I really liked the first guy and think he has great untapped potential..
Allison is also yes.. very incredible.

And Adam.. unreal mad alien like control over his voice. I was glad to hear him crack a bit on the high note.. or I would have thought it all digital. Idol even billed him as the end talent.. ALREADY at this stage to keep people watching to the end. He has amazing voice talent combined with ability to take you places while sitting still. Really freaky to a point also. :roll:

Adam seems to be in a league of his own. He sings, and has wonderful stage presence

It is his OFFstage presence that is a bit troubling, He is very talented. I just hate to see such a poor role model elevated before young people. :cry:

Call me old fashioned, but I just don't see this as positive role-modeling. Yes, he can sing, and will no doubt have a successful career... but Idol is more than that, IMHO.

Of the seven that remain, I think that Lil and Kris are the weakest two. I'd like to see Adam, Allison, Matt, Danny, and Anoop as the top five. I fear for Anoop, though. For some reason he doesn't draw as many votes as he deserves.

It's still all VERY disgusting and distrubing, but...

I thought I read somewhere that all the drag and/or gay stuff was only part of His acting/broad-way career.

The Kid can sing though his falsetto is a bit weird, considering how high is pitch is naturally. That high pitch is actually a bit diminutive of his talents, for me. Why? cause if he was a baritone he'd be a perfect modern version of Elvis -- both in vocal ability, looks, and popularity.

In fact, if I'm being honest, the thing that makes me like Adam the most is not his signing ability (which he unquestionably has), but his eerie likeness to Elvis (okay, Elvis crossed with Jason Bateman).

You mean the party shots of him playing tongue-hockey with another guy? Didn't look much like acting to me...

I hope his AI experience directs him into the mainstream. His talent is electrifying, but if he keeps it in the gay sex ghetto I won't be following his career, as I had planned to do. He doesn't owe us anything, but I hope he decides, for our sake and his, to appeal to a broader audience.

Why would he not play to his gay followers? He's a great entertainer, a sinner in need of God's love and grace, but talented indeed!

This is an article from Comcast.net (the AOL link didn't work, sorry): Is America ready for Gay Idol

The word of God not only condemns wickedness, but also speaks against supporting such:

“And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Romans 1:27-32)

It's sad that homosexuality is so forced onto the society. Every show has to have its queer. You know, you find a show that is interesting and

OOF: they introduce the gay character. And it's not only that, but all of the rampant sin. Even the commercial "break" is no break for the evil, as our society foments its shame.

Where are those that sigh and cry for the abominations that are done in our nation and in among God's people?

I can't imagine that if Isaiah, or the other prophets who were appalled at the wickedness of the people, that they would be comfortable watching shows about it.

And it is packaged so well, too. I used to like The Thomas Crown Affair (the new one with Renee Russo and Pierce Brosnan). Then, one day, I thought -- the hero of this show is a thief, he beds the investigator, and though he returns the painting, he took it out of coveteousness. The plot of this story requires at least three commandments to be broken. "It's just a story." I could come up with some reason to justify it, but David said, “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” (Psalm 101:3)

And Paul said, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9)

The law showed us that even coming into contact with uncleanness made one unclean. This is still true, especially in the spiritual. We cannot allow ourselves to be willfully defiled by the wickedness of the world. Rather we should say with David, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14)

A.I is fun to watch, I get in to the contestants during the season and except for Daughtry, I havent really followed anyone after the show. I'd be interested to see what Adam does after the show to see what genre he decides to record in. I'll definately check it out.
