I thought he was excellent! I started out liking Danny and still kind of do, but he doesn't have me on the edge of my seat with anticipation about what he's going to do this week. I start out not carying either way about Adam, and now I think he's the best. Loved this performance!
FYI - Idol ran 7 minutes over on Tuesday night and Adam performed last, which is why you probably missed, and why most people's Tivo's missed it too!

Adam
I think Adam is a wonderful singer. I also think he has a pretty big set to take on a Johnny Cash classic. That was awful.
Adam
I knew Adam was gay the first week AI was on. Doesn't matter a lick to me. He's talented and his sexual orientation shouldn't have anything to do with him winning. JMO.
Did you all know that Adam
was planted by Randy. He'd done work for Randy's studio before. Explains why he's been their 'chosen one', because they literally already did choose him. I don't have any faith that the show isn't rigged.

Oh, me too - Love Adam
He was one of the only ones I absolutely loved last night. I think overall a lot of them gave poor performances, although I did love the 16 year old, I can't think of her name. My daughter voted quite a bit last night for the both of them.
I totally believe Adam has this in the
bag unless he totally screws up. With the exception of his Ring of Fire interpretation (which wasn't really bad, just totally off the wall) I really believe he is the best of the lot. Think he and either Danny or Allison will be in the finals.
I love Adam
He's unique and amazing. I do like Danny though and would be just as happy if he wins.
Adam still is the one to beat
Yes, I agree he's become over-hyped. But to be honest, he's the only reason I am watching AI this season. All the other contestants remaining are BORING. I do believe Allison has a great voice and could have a very good future in music. Danny's songs all sound alike, and I have found him uninteresting from day 1, although he does have a decent voice. I always look forward to Adam, he is so talented and diverse. I don't get it when people say he's screechy, that's not what I'm hearing, LOL! He is on a totally different level than all the remaining contestants. My only beef with Adam is that his eye makeup looks so much better than mine does (when I bother with it).
I actually hope Adam does not win.

Adam might appear to be like your husband says, but
his demeanor is actually really nice. Softspoken, when he is not singing and screaming and rather shy.
Very good looking and really innovative!
I think he will be the winner!
Adam may be talented, but NOTHING about his
nm
I like Adam....Have from the beginning...
I hope he wins. He is a rocker, have you listened to a rocker who doesn't scream?
Adam deserves the win
But America is voting, and "niceness" and mediocrity ofen wins out over raw, unbridled creativity and talent. It just turns a lot of people off. People gravitate toward the familiar and comfortable, and that's what Kris is. Nice voice, pleasant personality, but compared to Adam, like sitting back and watching the grass grow. Adam will be a huge star, win or lose. At this point, it doesn't really matter who wins.
I think that Adam is by far the better singer
Yesterday he was screeching only 1 song.
The 1st song, Bad World, was quite mellow.
Great voice !
Adam deserves to be the winner.
Who watched 'Dancing with the Stars?'
I think Gilles should have gotten the crystal ball.
Shawn? Nah !
and *Click* with Adam Sandler...nm
I don't know, I have a thing for Adam Sandler myself :-) (nm)
n
I want to see it soon - I love Adam Sandler! (nm)

Adam Sandler - he would be so funny (sm)
I've had a doctor recently sing the last names of patients - I love it when they realize there is a real human listening to them :-)
I think Adam Sandler would make me laugh all day.
To say that Adam's was unique is a mouthful!
I thought he sounded like a little girly guy. Now don’t get me wrong, maybe that is what he wants but heck no I thought the song was horrific. Ugh!
I get a little tired of the hype over Adam.
nm
Good point! I could never buy a CD of Adam's
nm
Adam and Gookey in the final
,,,,,,,and Adam to win!
I was glad Adam was in the bottom two.
He's getting so monotonous. I would have preferred Allison go before Matt though. And what about Kris?! He should've gone before Matt or Allison. Guess the young girls are voting enough for him to keep him around. Either way, at this point, as long as Danny stays, I'm happy :)
I wonder how much damage is being done by the groups like 'vote for the worst' and DJs who tell them to do that, etc... Wish they'd let it play out without interference.
We actually turn down the volume when Adam
nm
Adam is so hyped. No one has a chance.
nm
Adam and Allison should be in the finals,nm

Adam best thing that ever happened to AI
Let's face it, the show's seen better days. It was fading, then along came Adam. I for one would not be watching this season if not for him. I'm sick and tired of American Idols' antics, yet Adam keeps me coming back. Next year I'm done.
Adam Walsh mystery solved
The guy who did it confessed on his death bed. It was the guy John Walsh always thought did it. I'm glad they will finally get some peace now cause 26 years is a long time to wait.
Adam is all over the internet with his own French kissing but
not with a member of the opposite sex. Oh-la-la
All of Adam's songs are starting to sound exactly
alike. I think he peaked too soon & that's all he's got. The same predictable screams in every song... I think it's really getting boring.
Adam? Cant stand him either. Idol is a joke
nm
I thought Adam's voice was SO annoying.
nm
all Adam Sandler movies will make you laugh
nm
Adam Sandler, Michael Jordan, The Rock (sm)
How's that for variety? LOL!
Adam and Eve, to tell them to stay the heck away from the forbidden tree!!! sm
Tell me we wouldn't be in better shape just hanging in the Garden of Eden??? (When my daughter was little, she used to wish she had a time machine so she could go back).
I prefer Danny. He's got soul, unlike Adam.

Adam's screaming is getting repetitive, predictable, and boring... All his

Not in my world
Unfortunately, my divorce was nasty, ugly, hateful and I wouldn't want to ever go through that again.
Cut off from the world
I know what you mean. I have been working from home for 5 years now and I do miss being around people but I don't miss office politics one bit either.
Third world?
nm
Where in the world have you been?
They have excellent swimming (not the pools) but man-made beaches there and you can get hopper pass and go to those beaches just like you can visit Tomorrow Land, MGM or whatever. You apparently don’t know about the other places available to customers.
It probably comes from anywhere in the world, but - sm
I hear that a LOT of it comes from S. Africa, Philippines, Singapore, etc. Could be coming from next-door, too. You just never know. It's so frustrating because even though I have a 'Report Spam' feature on my e-mail, and I report & then delete these several times a day, they keep reappearing. All they have to do is slightly change the spelling or the word-arrangement, and it's back again. The latest ones I'm getting are about 'Replica' watches and 'Rolex' watches. The only watch I have, I never wear, and I didn't buy it online or with a credit card, I paid $10 cash for it at Wal-Mart.
Anyway, I think they're looking for more than just 'sales' - I never open those up, but fear that even moving them from my bulk mail folder to my incoming mail folder to report them as Spam is somehow registering my e-mail addressing with someone, somewhere. Haha -- Maybe we should all flood those addresses with Spam e-mails offering to sell them 'beach-front' property in Kansas!
;D
Why in the world would you ever think
others might think these protesters were Christians? I think most humans have the intelligence to tell the difference between 1 or the other. I am sure most all know her name, Eve as this was a story not just in North Carolina but nationwise and probably global as well.
it's a mad mad world
Well going from a very very nice pay check to $0 is very very hard. In all fairness to him the contract he worked on ended. We were living in an area at that time that was in a depression. So we moved out of the area (after one to two years of being unemployed), I got work he didn't, we moved again I got work again and he didn't, two more times we moved to areas where I could get work and he couldn't. He wants to get work but everytime he applies for something they tell him he's over qualified. We live in a very small town (under 10K people) and what he has his experience in we would have to move to the nearest town which is about a 4 hour drive to get the type of work he's done in the past. Which means that whatever he would make would be paid out in higher rent, gas, etc, etc. (not to include the cost of 3 large (24-foot) moving trucks to move all our stuff). So, we've just got to put our "noggins" together to try and figure something out. But I am getting tired of talking every 3 or 4 hours about it and the changing of his mind with I'm going to do this, then that, then this, then back to that again, then something new, then that again. What's that quote from the movie - "I'm mad as he!! and I'm not going to take it anymore". HA HA
What's up with the world anyway?
I think it is sad and disgusting that creatures eat each other ... what kind of a plan is that?!!?
welcome to my world
I am a news junkie. I hope I don't tread on the political aura because that is not my intention. I've been watching CNN regarding how one can cut back to survive in this ecomony. Every tip is MY LIFE for the last 10, 20 or more years!! So what does one do who HAS been living a frugal lifestyle and finds themselves STILL having to cut back?
As a disclaimer, I am okay, as I have been living somewhat frugally, and have (for now anyhow) a good job. I just worry about those who have lived as I have and then find themselves in a fix, with nothing else to shut off...
Mad World, etc
For some reason Adam's performance was not aired when I watched AI Tuesday night, unless I blinked and missed it somehow! I can't say I have liked every one of his performances, but he is ALWAYS memorable. He is the son of one of my high school classmates and I do hope he wins. Does anyone know of a link I can go to watch it?
As far as the new judge, Kara?, I much prefer her over Paula Abdul any day. At least she is coherent when she gives advice, etc to the contestants.
What in the world?
Sorry CrankyBeach,
This has nothing to do with what was posted, but what in the world is that in your picture????
Why in the world would you do something like that
I cannot understand people who feel they need to do something like this. That child and her mother's personal business is no business of anyone else and certainly not the governments. If the mother can find an alternative health care (which she is in the process of doing), she is more than capable of taking care of her own child and trying to get the help her child needs so he can live and be cured. Not taking him the route that he will eventually die from. Why would anyone stick their nose where it doesn't belong and aid in the quick and horrible and painful death of the child.
I'm not mad at you, I'm trying to understand why anyone would do something this cruel to somebody else.
The mother is trying to save her child's life and the govt is trying to force him into taking a drug that will certainly meet with the end result of death, and months and months of horrible horrible pain and side effects. Until you live with someone and watch them go through the horrible death that chemo brings it's hard to fathom what it does to someone. It not only destroys their immune system and they throw up, cannot eat, go through depression, and basically beg for death. There is nothing worse than when I was hugging my mom while she was sitting on the toilet constipated for days, crying and screaming in pain and wishing to die. I have never been through a more depressing situation and her telling me how humiliating for her and I should go home and not see her this way. Her hair fell out and she said she felt ugly and worthless (she has always been a beautiful woman no matter what). It's heart-wrenching to sit here and relieve those memories. Then to hear that someone would turn someone in for them to undergo the same fate as what my mom and 3 other relatives of mine went through. I just don't understand it.
1st of all I said this *country* - not world...sm
Secondly, it's not just the Christians, I beg to differ.......there's plenty of other religious groups in the USA - that this effects.....and who have been oppressed for a couple of centuries as I see it. 
What is this world coming to?
The clue for your caller would have been when you said "hello"? Don't ya' think?
Amen to that! It sure is a different world now. nm
