Adam is in a league all by himself...period. Whether he wins or not is another thing. Should he win? Hell yeah, but being this is American Idol he may just be too much for white bread Americans to handle. Sorry, but its true. I hope this is not the case though. Without Adam the show wouldn't be worth watching at all. I've never watched until this season and the only reason I do is because of him. Every week his renditions are fresh and entertaining. As far as Mad World goes, I have always loved the Jules version and when they said he would be singing that I was shocked...how cool; I thought pigs were gonna fly, this is AI for pete's sake. Anyway, yeah, vote off Adam and I think many won't be tuning in next week...me included.

All I can say is that I would never buy anything Adam recorded unless it was part of a Broadway musical. This guy is over the top theatrical. If I was sitting in a Broadway theatre, I would find him tolerable but his high pitch,screechy singing on AI, just makes me want to turn the show off and Paula's excessive praise of all his performances makes me nauseous. I thought this show was about taking people who don't have a career in the music business and giving them a chance at one. As far as I'm concerned, Adam has a career and he is right where he should be, in the theatre. Allison has a good chance at a career in music. She's talented and cute. Matt G. is really interesting too and I'd like to hear more from him when he is a little more polished. But my all time favorite is Kris Allen. He deserves a shot at a music career and I know I would buy any music he made. On the result show Simon summed up Kris' last perfomance in one word,"Brilliant". What more needs to be said?

Adam has been doing professional Theater for a whole decade. That is Adam's profession. So Adam fans you can't compare Adam with other contestants on the show who are not professionals.

Plus Adam is 29-30 years and older then the other contestants on the show. When Adam started his career professionally Kris was in Junior High School. Kris has never had professional experience so he is a novice.

I like Adam, but some of you Adam fans don't realize that Adam is already a professional and knows how to work the camera, stage props and lighting. If you look on Youtube Adam did the same 'sitting-in-the-chair' routine in the theater as he did in his rendition of Mad World.

Meanwhile in an interview Kris said he never sang without his guitar before so for him just singing without his guitar is a major feat.

Kris picked a song that has not been overplayed, oversang, and overdone for years on the radio and on American Idol, plus Kris sang it beautifully. I give Kris props for doing that and doing it with emotion and heart.

The songs suck because the SHOW sucks!! WTF songs from movies hey might as well done the ENTIRE review from "High School Musical"! Which is what AI is turning into that or some cheesy Anette and Frankie 'beach' sing along movie. The song choices get worse every season I mean come on songs from the year you were born. For most of them it was 1981 and that was a CRAP year for music and please Lulu she was a one-hit blunder 30 some YEARS AGO. The show is stupid and stcuk in the middle ages or middle America in any case I can't watch this slow-moving,mind-numbing ode to crap songs and worse karoake.

For Bbass. Falling won the Oscar for Best Song. For your info, to be nominated for Best Song, the song had to be written for a movie. Check it out, dog.

I really dislike adam; i think he is a lame poser. none of the other contestants impressed me last night though.

Or his sex appeal for that matter.

Adam wears make-up because he is a performer; the only one this season with the exception of Allison. Without Adam, the ratings would tank like a helium balloon hit with a surface to air missile. B.O.R.I.N.G. -- Matt as a superstar? Please.

"Tarantino should have gone medieval on Danny Gokey's ass when he chose "Endless Love" from the endlessly boring movie of the same name."

Ok were you not paying attention when he said that was a song thats personal to him?

I could have only hoped that someone who writes for RollingStone would have something of interest to say. You are whining about the contestants being desperate to win audience love? Hello. That's what the program is about. Contestant sings- people vote.
And if the week was about 'songs written specifically for a movie' then that's what they would have done. Your 'who gives a damn' attitude is boring. Either write like you care or write about something else.

I must say that this years's contestants are as diverse as any year that I can remember. I feel the last seven are the largest group of true talent that the show has held at this point in the competition. However, the show is getting boring. I think they should allow more updated songs.

I wish Lil would stop trying to copy Diva songs and Matt needs to relax. All of them are good and it is difficult to choose a favorite.

I wouldn't be surprised if Adam wins. He seems to be the best at holding the stage and entertaining the audience. I almost feel he may be too good for this competition though.

Don't get me wrong. All of them are great singers, but Adam is experienced and is so comfortable on stage.

American Idol is still on?

Sorry I've missed it--I've been busy living my life.

A thorough lack of belief. No soul. Joy follows garbage, decadence.

Quentin Tarantino's a cartoon himself, like all his Get Shorty heroes

A pretty awful week, I agree, though I thought Adam was (yet again) creative, entertaining, and genuine. No other contestant is even worth mentioning this week, except perhaps for Lil Rounds, who signed her letter of resignation from Idol on Tuesday night.

I don't understand, though, why you are wanting these people to play into the atrocious theme-week nonsense. If they attempting to show true artistry, they should be trying to rise above those silly themes.

I think that Adam cheapens AI. He may have a good voice but so do a lot of the other contestants. Everything about him is false from his dyed hair to his heavy makeup. If he ends up winning it will be my last season to watch Idol. I enjoy all of the other finalists but I think he is in the wrong competition.

yeah tonight was such a pussy night for idol and the lack of judges comments sucked the life out too. they should just cut down on seacrest's lame attempts at humor

AI should have a program of songs with an attitude theme or a night of Angry Songs. Melinda Doolittle provided a great performance when she sang Bon Jovi's Have a Nice Day and Adam Lambert was fun to watch when he sang Satisfaction. Anything would be better than week after week of sappy Love songs like we have this year on Idol.

lol mikey thats all i could think of too when i heard endless love lol good ol happy gilmore, i think anoops performance was the best of the night, idk what people see in adam hes garbage i will give it to him he did kill mad world but other than that he fuckin sucks did anyone hear his take on "ring of fire" if jonny cash was alive today that would have killed him.

A movie, about a tv show, about singing songs from artists who made them for movies.

This is pop circle-jacking at it's finest. Keep it up people. Let's pave the world with neon lights.

I agree with you 100%
The 4/14 AI show was boring.....ZZZZZZ Poor taste of songs and movies.

Except, Kris Allen got the class. He is an intelligent man with great voice and his good looks attract my eyes.

Kris made the night. Thank you Kris.

Agree 100% - last night's singing was mediocre - devoted fan since Season 2; can't remember a time when I couldn't find anything really good.

Harder and harder to be enthused about any of them this year.

Falling Slowly was not written for that movie either. It appeared on The Frames album "The Cost" before the movie was out. It also appears on The Swell-Season album. The song was written before the movie was created.
