great roundup

are u kidding me? get out of here people and start voting. i believe people aren’t voting as much for adam because they know he is the best and should win. not good yesterday’s show proved u must vote for him obviously all season long best performer ever please vote if he loses this i will not watch idol again

Yes folks we need to vote for Adam Lambert. He is clearly the best and perhaps we took it for granted that “everyone” was voting for him. Go Adam!

Adam is the best , i think Allison should go

If Adam doesn’t win then nothing on this show makes any sense. Danny is mundane. No way does he compare to Adam. Vote everyone. This is necessary as we just saw.

No more Idol for me if Adam loses either. How can this guy dominate iTunes downloads and end up in the bottom?? The “mainstream” voters apparently don’t buy music — is that really what record producers want (NO)? To those old enough to remember, I feel like these voters are choosing Pat Boone over Elvis Presley or Jerry Lee Lewis!

I think this was totally by design – I’ve always suspected that AI “voting” was a sham and having Adam in the bottom two supports my suspicion. They put him there just to shake the show up and generate viewer interest.

I’m guilty of not voting for Adam because I thought he would be automatically safe….I voted for Allison because I want to see an Adam and Allison finale……Sorry Adam, I’ll be voting for you next week!!

Debbie,

Adam has the most controlled voice, but Danny is by far the one who will make money for the record company, and Adam knows this… that is why he is changing his appearance to make it more commercial. GO DANNY!!

I agree, people need to vote! I also think that Simon gave Allison weak comments this week to force people to vote for her so she doesn’t end up in the bottom again. Adam has to win!

VOTE FOR ADAM !!! VOTE FOR ADAM !!!
he is the best singer / performer / entertainer AI has ever seen. did not like yesterday’s show – especially the part where adam was forced to predict what side he should be on…who came up with this nonsense,…anyways bottom line: VOTE FOR ADAM!! HE MUST WIN!!!

…..or was this a setup by the producers, to keep the viewers watching? Everyone believes Adam will win, and rightfully so, and perhaps they are afraid people will quit watching since they have it figured out?

I totally agree. If Adam is voted off, it will be because some people don’t like his “style”. No-one can deny he is by far the most talented contestant EVER on AI. Personally, I’m obsessed with him. I’m a 47 yr old woman who has NEVER felt this way about ANYONE. I absolutely love him. If he’s voted off, I won’t ever watch the show again, unless he’s a guest performer!!! EVERYONE PLEASE VOTE! This guy deserves it!!! (Adam, you said you’d never go to Nashville but if you decide to, I’ll put you up! ha)

I hope the arrogance Adam Lambert shows week after week assuming he will win this season will be gone. After all, like everyone else in the competion, he can be voted off. The top 4 are all very talented artists, and all 4 should be treated equal. I’m frankly tired of the I’m all that arrogant Adam Lambert show every week.

I’m with all of you… when Adam was placed in the bottom 3 I was like OH NOOOO, NOOOO, my husband kept saying he’s gonna be ok….Then Bottom 2, my heart started beating fast, and after the commercial break it was all I could do to sit still, face covered with pillow, eyes peering over the top like Kilroy and saying, Please Lord, don’t let him go home!!! I could not believe that, and I voted, I voted for the whole 2 hours, I did get a few busy signals but I honestly was able to get through more times than not, which I thought maybe they have a switch board or something (which I assume they do) I do not split votes, others are talented but not like Adam! So, Elimination time, still peering over the top of the Pillow I told my husband “if he goes home, Idol just ended for me!!! I’ll not watch it ever again” Heart still pounding, Ryan say’s “Adam….Adam looks over and I think I’m fixin to lose it, and Ryan said take a seat…..LAWD have mercy, a Weight was lifted off my shoulders like a bag of rocks…By now I am emotionally exhausted and drained! He surived to see another week, or He surived so we can see him another week! PLEASE Vote, My Sanity depends on it….

Adams voice has selective fans. Gokey has better vocals and more people can relate too.

I really cannot stand to watch Adam perform. It almost ruins the show in my opinion. Between that screaming that sounds like some kind of animal and his over the top facial expressions and “dance moves”, it truly is ridiculous. I really hope he doesn’t win. He is a good performer, but I cannot stand his voice or the way he acts.

I agree! Adam deserves to win. You may not always like his rendition of a particular song, but you HAVE to appreciate the talent, and showmanship that only he has! Maybe they did this to humble him a bit. Let’s show him he doesn’t have to BE humble! He only has to appreciate his fans, and he will be fine! I will buy any CD he puts out!

I think what happened is that alot of people got comfortable with Adam being the best and started slacking with the voting. It’s actually a good thing this happened because now all us Adam fans are awake and will vote more in the name of keeping him in the competition and hopefully winning! Oh and just because he was the last one standing with Matt doesn’t mean he had the second least amount of votes…Kris could have had the second least amount of votes. We will never know.

Adam is the new Elvis !!!!!!
I thought I’d never like anyone more than David Cook but Adam has made me forget him!! And I’m in my fifties!!

Laura?????? A 47 year old woman who has never felt this way about anyone?? You need to get a life.

Adam is and always has been way ahead of all the other contestants. Why was he in the bottom three? My guess is that no one watched the ‘big band’ episode and didn’t bother voting….i believe adam’s fans will blast out their voting and put him far ahead of the others for the next 3weeks!

I’ve taken for granted that everyone will vote for Adam. Last night’s results, if true, show that lots of people have. Lesson learned . . . VOTE for your favorite even if you think everyone else is voting for him and you think you’re vote won’t make a difference. I’ll be sure to vote for Adam from now on.

Adam is in the bottom two because Danny and Allison have MUCH better vocals. Period. You got it right this time America.

Adam Lambert is the most creative talent I’ve ever witnessed throughout all the A.I. seasons.Please reward him America as he is truly the champion of American Idol 2009!!

Screamy, Screetchy Adam was in the bottom two for a reason. He’s the best talent AI has ever seen? PLEEEEEZE.

I am a 45 yr old mother of 6 and I too am obsessed with Adam Lambert. He validates every single human emotion when he performs, and his voice sends chills up my spine. We all need to make sure we vote. I mean, Taylor Hicks beat Doughtery for maybe the same reason…people assume he’s safe. And he WILL sell millions of records. Slash isn’t “everybody’s style” either and he’s doin ok!

I’m not sure where the arrogance comments are coming from, because I totally do not see that from Adam. He has deservingly got the praise from the judges, albeit sometimes over the top, but he did not make them say it, and yet he is always thanking everyone and giving credit to the band, etc. Confident yes, but not arrogant.

Congratulation to Danny and Allison for a job well done!
Adam is good, but not my fav.

If you love Adam, like I do, he should be the only one you are voting for. Too many people, vote for someone they feel sorry for. Last night proved it. If your favorite is Adam, only vote for him over and over again. He is the best ever.

Patty??? Adam Arrogant? Oh my god, you have arrogance and self confidence so confused, he is totally humble when confronted at the end of his songs, respectful and thankful. If you think thats arrogance, you’re sadly mistaken..Arrogance is feeling or showing self-importance and contempt or disregard for others. Sorry those traits are not the Adam we see each week, Never have I seen him act that way.

Patty? I have a life. Let me clarify what I meant. I’ve never felt that way about a singer/performer. I have two children almost his age so I have plenty going on.

if Adam goes so do i, i swore off AI when taylor hicks won, but got sucked back in last year with the davids, but if Adam doesn’t get what he deserves here i’m done

So the first week the contestants have two phone numbers, the absolute best artist falls from first place to at best third… . Hmmm… I vote for Adam in all ways. He is the absolute best “find” in years and years. I myself could not get “through” every time I called. Perhaps so many people were voting for him that millions of votes were lost to the universe. I’m 53 years old and this is the first season of total devotion to the show. And, the Reason is(drumroll, please): ADAM LAMBERT.

Adam Lamert is the only reason why we are watching the American Idol this year! He is going to be big like Michael Jackson in the music industry!! It’s crazy that he was in the bottom 3 last week! America, please vote vote vote for Adam!

Hi from Canada
Adam is the best now and ever was, his singing abilities is above others by far!!!!!! Last nights bottom list was very very crazy, just like he sings it’s a mad mad world. Can’t wait for your album, Adam you deserve it all the way!!!!
God Bless and continue with the gift God has givin you, you have place to go!!!!

My mom got so upset last night. She said if Adam is sent home next week, she will never ever watch the show again!

I think Kris is the weakest among the 4 contestants! I miss Matt, he is a good singer. I will buy his CD. He is marketable!

Slash should join Adam for a reprise of Black Or White next week. I’d watch that.

I’m assuming that Adam was actually in the bottom three but not the bottom two. Ryan never mentioned that he was in the bottom two, and Idol wants to scare everyone so that the most marketable man wins.

Oh, well. It doesn’t matter. Neither Cook nor Daughtry had a really great album. Lambert might not be much better, but I guess it’s possible.

I am praying that it is just a set up to make the other contestants think they are equal to Adam if not better.But the truth of the matter is Adam Lambert is the leader of the pack and no one can be compared to him.ADAM LAMBERT AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 9!!!!!!!

Hi from Canada
Adam you’ve got it happening, you are the best there is and has been ever. God has blessed you with a gift, use it.
I can’t wait for you music to hit the stores, I’ll be there. I sure hope you consider doing Mad World, I’ve never heard it before and it has become one of my favorite songs. God Bless and keep the songs coming, I Love to hear you every week, you never disappoint me.

Oh my gosh…I had to go online to find out the results from the east coast bloggers. I am in California and couldn’t wait for the results when Adam was in the bottom 2. Hurray, he was not eliminated. I will vote, for sure, next week. Taylor Hicks is a great talent…why can’t they find him a good song to sing. One that will become a number one hit?

I hear that AI had the lowest Tuesday rating of the season. But 47 million votes were counted? Sounds illogical. At any rate, it is obvious that Adam has shown more talent than all the others combined. Over 60% of the downloads at iTunes are Adam songs. So who is voting for the others (sorry Kris)? And the Ryan game of moving Adam to the other side was humiliating and disrespectful (not only to Adam but to his fans). If Adam goes home this week, this will be the last of AI for me!

Adam sings with the other contestants is like Freddie Mercury singing with whole bunch of choir boys and girls!

I think last night result was a wake-up call to Adam fans not to take for granted assuming others will vote for him. We should realised that there are 5 contestant left. So American voters are divided into 5 groups. So I would like to call Adam Fans to vote more on Adam.

Adam should win. In spite of what Randy keeps saying (in place of any real critique), “this is a singing competition–and you can sing (duh)”, this is NOT merely a singing competition. This is a competition for who could be a singing superstar, an idol.

Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta can sing. We get that. However, they are not idols nor superstars. A superstar takes performing a song to a new level, a superstar challenges, surprises, entrances and seduces his or her audience. Adam can do that–he has done that on this show. No one is swooning after a Danny Gokey performance. No one is talking about him a week later, wondering what he’ll do next.

Adam can obviously learn something after this week. To keep it different, to keep surprising, to keep it real may take more than a costume change. He should take care to not become a caricature of himself–keep the tongue in, keep the sustained high notes in his back pocket until they can really have a dramatic effect (watch Mad World, Ring of Fire–the two best by far, by anyone, ever).

I will not watch this show the moment Adam is no longer a contestant–why bother? He is the only performer on that stage who cannot only sing (and quite amazingly at that), but who has seduced me hook, line and sinker with his combination of sex appeal, charisma and stagecraft. He’s the total package, the real deal, an Idol.

I tried to vote for Adam non-stop using my redial, and all I got for two hours was a busy signal. How could someone be in the bottom three when he is getting so many votes most people can’t even get in to give him more. Is there something wrong in this picture?

I totally agree!He has all the confidence in the world and yet humble NOT arrogant!!Adam Lambert is a true artist!Not to mention he sings with full of honesty!!PLEASE VOTE FOR ADAM LAMBERT AMERICA!!!I beg you from across the miles!!…

Caryn stated above: “If Lambert doesn’t get his Zeppelin on now, when will he?” Last night I was thinking to myself Adam should do Cashmere by Zeppelin, think he would brint the house down. Couldn’t believe he was in the bottom 2. Scary

I was in shock, Adam Lambert is the best talent on this year’s show, with Allison right behind. I think the number of votes he got this time reflects on all of the news about him online, and newspapers, about him being gay. Well, does anyone give Elton John crap about his lifestyle, I doubt it. Maybe being the next American Idol should have a winner who is straight, for appearances sake, but please, vote for the best vocalist!
Let’s keep Adam Lambert in, if he goes, he’ll still make more money then any of the other contestants this year on the show. Vote for Lambert!

I am 62 years old and love Adam Lambert. His talent can not be matched by any other contestant in the show. Not only that, but his genius for picking songs and teaking them to make them unique is unmatched. He is the whole reason I watch the show and if he is voted off, I’m gone!

ADAM LAMBERT = STAR POWER

Facts to consider in regard to Adam being in the final two.
Alot of “Anoops” fans probably went to Danny as Anoop favors Danny. Allison got alot of Adam’s votes because people felt she was getting a raw deal and Adam’s fans including myself got too comfortable.

Bottom line- Adam has WORKED his entire life for this. He has EARNED this and he DESERVES this. If you are an ADAM fan VOTE LIKE CRAZY next week for him!!!!!!

As far as the negative comments by Patty and a few others. Adam is not arrogant, nor does he “screech” Your mindless comments show lack of intelligence, perceptiona and a real connection to music

Laura – good for you having fun with your feelings no matter what age! I’m older than you and I like Adam also. He reminds me of Elvis. He has that same charisma.
Patty – You don’t have to like Adam’s style of singing. That is what makes this show survive. All our differences of opinions. But please don’t confuse arrogance with confidence. Adam is confident and always a gentlemen in his presentation.

I thought Miley Cyrus was an embarassment on Idol. She really can’t sing that well. She is all hype and I don’t get it Shaking her hair around and a mediocre singer..awful

Since I’m an expat overseas, and have to watch the videos on the Internet (before they are mostly removed due to Copyright concerns), I am completely hooked this season. Adam is incredibly talented, delivers every week, and is truly one of the stand-outs like David Cook and… remember Melinda Doolittle (I was floored when she was sent home). Perhaps I don’t see the Adam-arrogance factor since I can only see clips (he seems humble enough at judgment time and in interactions with the others). I believe all of the remaining contestants have a special talent to offer some segment of the population (and I wish them all the best!). But, this is, after all, a singing contest (and not a karaoke contest!), and Adam’s range, presentation, and creative twists on almost every song has been mesmerizing and unexpected (love it or hate it, you are still glued to the screen!). He’s the only performer that almost forces me to hit that “REPLY” button everytime! Regardless of who wins, this group has noticeable talent, and I’m sure they will all do just fine once the contest is over…

My first thought was the dumbest….could they have “fixed” the vote to keep the interest? But then, I remembered Daughtry….everyone loved him but didn’t vote. I am telling you, if Adam doesn’t win this thing….you might as well cancel the show. It isn’t doing what it should. Randy is a terrible judge. Hey, Dog…get your act together. If you think this is just a singing contest, then get a job…..this is a dog eat dog business and you have to have the goods. America will get it right if you play fair. Millions of people can sing…but only millions of people will pay to see Adam…..not your other three. Bless them all, they just don’t have the charisma…..thank you very much!!!

It’s Kashmir, not Cashmere. Know your Zep.

Does anyone else see what I see? EVERYONE talks about Adam and most love him! I haven’t seen a comment yet that doesn’t have him as the main topic and the other contestants just mentioned…I have NO idea why he was in the bottom 3 because he doesn’t deserve it AT ALL. So what that he’s taken over the show? He’s doing nothing but putting on a good show and has stayed true to himself this whole time. I don’t get how people can say he’s self absorbed when…he’s not. Open up your eyes people. This is more to him than a singing competition…it’s his career and what makes him happy. I applaud him for being original.

Adam Lambert is already legendary, now all he needs to do is die young and he’ll be immortal.

I could not believe Adam was in the bottom 3. I think they did that because of ratings. Everyone knows Adam is going to win. We can’t just sit back and assume someone else is voting. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Honestly… I will not watch AI next year if he doesn’t win . He is the American Idol all the way. GO ADAM!

Please vote for Adam America! He’s the best we had on the show. He deserves to win!

Hi there: I’m another Canadian – and another frustrated Canadian who can’t call to vote for ADAM. What an honourable, talented, brilliant and lively man Adam is. As an entertainer and artist, no on on that Idol stage can touch him. It’s truly a fit and setup that he was not safe from the beginning. Every other week he was. Think about it – there had to be some drama to get back the viewers. Idol viewership is dropping, and really, the only reason viewership is so high this season is because of Adam. PLEASE AMERICANS – PICK UP THE PHONE AND VOTE FOR HIM, ONLY HIM! Don’t sit back thinking he’s got it in the bag. Then again, I don’t believe the counting of the votes. If Adam doesn’t win, we should put Idol on notice that we want the producers to prove he didn’t, and reveal the numbers! Next week is Rock and Roll week, so Adam should have it in the bag – he’s amazing! Love you Adam.

I was completely speechless last night when they announced that Adam was in the bottom 3!!! I can’t believe it. Not only that, I can’t believe that Allison got more votes than he did. At this point, everyone can sing – duh. My problem with Allison is that her singing sounds the same in each song. She has that sexy, raspy voice, but that’s it. Can’t hit the high notes or the low notes – it’s all the same.

As for Adam, I really was disappointed last night. I know this is just a tv show, but like someone mentioned before, Adam has worked hard every week (even Simon said that winning is obviously important to him and he is giving it his best each time he performs). If people voted solely on vocals, performance and artistry, Adam definitely has the package deal, bottom line. I think the problem is one of 2 things: #1, Adam fans are becoming complacent and not voting b/c we’re thinking it’s a given that he will win (although I vote) or #2, people are judgemental and focusing on the person rather than their vocal talent, which is what the whole show is about!!! Who cares if someone is gay or lesbian or a cross-dresser or bi-sexual or whatever – that has nothing to do with the person nor the singing competition, which is what AI is. This is coming from a straight female who wishes Adam was straight, but could care less. There is no denying the talent he has and he needs to be rewarded for that. I know that no matter what the outcome, he will become huge (prob bigger than Carrie, Kelly and Clay) but that’s not the point. People are so damn judgemental, it kills me.

PLEASE PEOPLE, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!!!!

ADAM’S FATE RESTS IN ALL OF OUR HANDS!!!!

OH MY. What happened america? Adam Lambert is the best!!! Vote Vote Vote for him. And he is not arrogant! Are you kidding? He is the most appreciable contestant. He is very humble and so deserving. And Adam if you are able to read any of these blogs (there is millions)know that you are the best and you show them even more next week during rock week. You have millions of fans and you are going to be big. Don’t let this week upset you because like Randy on AI said you are ready right now!! and I can’t wait until your music starts going on the shelves, I will buy every last one. I am 47 year old mom with 2 children your age and they both absolutely love you to! Stay strong! be bold! and go for the GOLD! I will see you in concert some day soon. You have touched people of all ages!! I also said last night that if you get voted off that I will never watch American Idol again!! I was so upset! Be confident that your fans are out there EVERYWHERE and we are voting for YOU!!!!

Adam has the charisma of a super star. The others can sing but none of them will fill an auditorium like Adam can. And whats up with the pulling Adam around like that!? Sure he was surprised – laying hands on someone like that is uncalled for. I called so many times but half of them just went into outer space somewhere. No busy signal… just dead. If American Idol, Ford, and AT&T are playing with us, maybe we should play with them by not watching their show! I will quit watching if Adam is ‘voted’ off because I will know it is fixed.

American Idol loves to create drama. Adam has been getting rave reviews from both the press and judges so now AI wants to make it look like it could be anyone’s race so they made Adam stand next to Matt for dramatic effect. We have no idea how many votes Adam got. He could have eaisly gotten more than Kris. Simon and American Idol since the start have been manipulating the show for Danny to win. Simon has come out and stated in an interview that Danny will win. Danny is safe and predictable. Just what they like. The best very rarely wins on American Idol.

I was shocked that Adam was in the bottom three. He needs to rock it out next week. Adam has stated he would love to sing “Whole Lotta Love” by Zep but my question is, do they have the approval to sing Zep songs on Idol. I don’t think they do which stinks. But I would at least hope he sings Queen, maybe one of their not so popular songs such as You Take my Breath Away! He will melt hearts but he also needs to rock it out. I think they will sing two songs next week each!

I am 63 and love Adam..he has the innocence and sexiness of Elvis and the creativity to make it. I don’t see the arrogance in him at all. I don’t care if he is gay or not, what about George Michael? He is gorgeous and made it and no one cared. If the talent is there, they should be judged on that alone and he is definitely talented.

America – wake up and vote for Adam! If only there was an international vote, last night would not have played out that way. I’m with the others – if Adam is voted off – that’s the end of AI for me!

You just don’t see all this about any of the other contestants…I’m thinking everyone got lazy and because of all the publicity and everyone assuming he has it in the bag, they haven’t been voting for him. Maybe this is AI’s way of getting the ratings back? People aren’t voting for their popular front-runner so this is what we get, what he gets? HE DESERVES TO WIN! I’m improving my voting this next week. And no more cheating on Adam for me…Only voting for him from now on!

Who do they think they are kidding? Now I know for sure the whole thing is rigged. Adam in the bottom three? Only a moron would buy that. If they want to see AI come to it’s demise stop fooling around with the votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Adam Lambert is the new Elvis, we are in big trouble… While I will agree that he can sing, I would hate the thought of my own children looking up to him and thinking he is an “American Idol”. I don’t know where all of you are from, but in my part of the country we are “Gokey” all the way!!! His voice has a unique quality to it and I think he is extremely talented. Wake up, America!! Adam Lambert is not who we want as our American Idol and that was proven in the vote last night.

That’s right America, subscribe to the ordinary, referring to the comment made about the public being more able to relate to Danny. Danny is good but not special like Adam. Raise the bar guys! Try something new. Dare to be different. What has happened to free thinking America? As for arrogance, there is a difference between it and confidence. Look these words up in the dictionary. If Adam is voted off, it will say more about America than it will about Adam. And Simon you may as well stay in England where people appreciate different. Thank goodness for that country where wild and different in the music business led the way so many times.

Hmmmmmm, ask yourself this…..If you are not at least interested in seeing what Adam will do next, then why are you watching the show? People pay up to $750.00 to see the Idol Tour…..how much of that do you think Danny demands?? I bet the tour is the biggest ever this year, even with the recession…Why? Because love him or hate him……EVERYONE wants to see him perform….its like Michael Jackson…..doesn’t matter what you think of him personally, if you have any love of music in your heart, you listen……and tap your toes….from the Senior Citizens of the world…..Go Adam….And for the records, the two numbers to call in didn’t work…..I only got through to his number twice…..whats up with that????? Get a life American Idol and be fair!!!!

Who are they kidding? If they don’t want to see the demise of AI stop fooling around with the votes. Do you really expect us to buy that Adam was in the bottom 3? The phones lines rang busy all night on his two numbers. Just because he has made it a one man show does not give you the right to pull a stunt like last night!!!!!!!!!!

What is it about my age group, around 60 years of age, and Adam? My phone rang off the hook last night with friends saying if Adam is voted off, there is no compelling reason to continue watching Idol. I agreed. The others bore me but I sort of expected it because of Daughtry. In my opinion tweens vote. And they have not changed. They like the bubble gum. I did not vote. So I can’t feel bad if Adam had been voted off.

What upsets me is ok Adam may have been in the bottom 2…doubt it but lets just say he was…I feel the judges were so cavalier about it…It this is the guy you predicted to be in the finals why were they not more shocked and sad…That what makes me feel it was staged because they did not get upset…and they all started this BS about how any of the contestant can win…Which I am not saying is not true but They picked Adam to be in the finals…I think they want people to feel that their favorite has a chance and that Adam is not a the front runner to make it more exciting for the viewer..either way I am voting a heck of a lot more for Adam for now on….

Whoops, I’m not awake Jon, your right, I mean Kashmir.

Okay so Molly.. This isn’t a presidential election.. this isnt the down home country folk verses the bad boy rocker.. No MOLLY.. this is about talent, marketablity, public draw, art, charisma etc. Now you are entitled to your feeings Molly, just keep your conservative politics out of this..
The greatest artists in the world ever to have walked the earth dared to be different, brave and real, like Paula says.. There is nothing unique about Danny Gokey, nothing at all!!!!
GO ADAM!!!!

I voted for Allison several times because I did not want to see her leave and thought Adam as safe. I will not do that again. All my votes go to Adam.

Personally I find Adam irritaging as all heck and pre-packaged. His attitude reeks of “I’m already as star!”, got news for ya’ baby, you’re just flashing in the pan right now. He’ll have his short time to shine (but no, he WILL lose Idol), maybe a few years, then by 2012 he’ll be known as “…that guy who should have won Idol but didn’t…..where is he now by the way?”

thursday19:

I also tried both lines for an hour straight and every single time was a busy signal. This doesn’t make sense when in past weeks I have gotten through and he was in the top with only one phone line and this week, with two lines, I couldn’t get through and he was in the bottom! Could anyone else not get through?

My prediction: RED STATES: Danny; BLUE STATES: Adam. It’s basically down to the Supreme Court. Your Honor?

I JUST WANT TO SCREAM TO ALL AMERICA!! WAKE UP!! VOTE FOR ADAM!!
Forget your prejudice or whatever reason you don’t like him, he has worked since he was 10 yrs old in various venues and he deserves this! He is a showman and said himself that’s not who he is in real life. He also said he did what he had to to pay the bills. I am a Christian and at first was put off by some of the photos and stuff, but who are we to judge? He seems like a wonderful person. I’m sure his parents are proud. He is so talented and unique (this is 2009 folks!) and absolutely gorgeous!!! Lets all vote to give him what he deserves and most of all WHAT HE HAS EARNED!!!! I LOVE YOU ADAM!!!

I think it was DISGUSTING the way they manipulated and tried to humiliate Adam. Even if the rankings were not ‘fixed’, this was no way to treat someone who has consistently behaved honorably and with the best manners. Adam is the best and this ‘little’ show will not stop him becoming a superstar. PLEASE don’t vote for anyone else at this point. All the best to you Adam..from Canada.

Hey, Simon was so upset when Ryan pressed him about what ha meant by Danny being clumsy. Then he just stays quiet while they embarrass the only true star of the show. I know it would probably have cost Adam votes but I wish he had told Ryan to keep his hands to himself. If Adam was in the bottom three, which I doubt, just tell him so. I almost wish Adam would just walk away based on how he was treated Wed night. AI needs Adam now a lot more than Adam needs AI. Vote everyone! Vote!!!!!!

In reference to the question above about what the idols will sing.. I think Adam may choose a Gun’s and Rose’s song because he tends to pick songs the mentors did;(Smokey and Quinton) however, I would like to see him do something incredible like Led Zepplin, Queen, Heart (Barracuda) etc

Love you Adam, You are the best singer I have ever heard. Please Everyone just vote for him and no one else next week. Lets make history on the most votes ever on one singer on AI. Thanks

I have watched Idol since the first season and I’ll say this – if Adam Lambert does not win, I WILL NOT watch it again. This year, he is the one contestant that is head and shoulders above the rest in talent, artistry (as they say!), and charisma – I literally replay his performances repeatedly AND show them to whomever enters my house, a reaction that is new to me, believe me!

Idol, pack it up and go back to England, because if Adam loses, the show turns into a hypocrisy.

The others can sing – but then so can a lot of people. Adam Lambert has the star factor and the talent to take someone else’s song and make it unique to his style and range. The others? Not so much, and while Danny has a nice rasp as does Allison – none of the others this year or in past years has ever caused me to even read a blog, let alone comment on one.

Adam is gay! So what! Does anyone else wonder if the voting was rigged? It is after all on Fox!

Why do people have to take personal pot-shots at others on these forums? If all you do all day is sit online and rip into the contestants AND their fans, seriously… you need to examine your own life. Patty, your venom is indicative of a very bruised, angry person. I am not attacking you… jus’ saying.

This red state/blue state stuff is ridiculous. Adam is the best singer
AI has ever had. I am a fiscal conservative who votes republican. I don’t care what Adam’s preferences are, he is a classy guy that has an incredible voice. He handles all the bull that they hand him on the show with grace. I hope he wins and becomes a huge star. STOP STEREO-TYPING CONSERVATIVES. We are not sheep on all issues.

Placing Adam in the bottom three generated the suspense that has been lacking this season. Was it an AI ploy? Probably. After all the praise he was getting from the judges – especially after “Mad World” and Paula’s continuing raves for him,I noticed all the judges started playing him down and increasing their positive evaluations for the other contestants. I figured there would be a backlash and that the judges were “encouraged” to spread the compliments around more. Gokey’s really good, Matt was desperate acting and off key a lot. Kris? Nice kid, not in the same league as Adam – he had one really good performance so far.
Alison? Outstanding, especially after she brought it down a lot with Someone to Watch over me. Adam may have ticked some voters off with his choice of song – it was one better suited for after he won. Got a little concerned when I got through to vote after just 45 minutes. Adam deserves to win – he needs to win, but it will only happen if all of us vote JUST for him and as many times as possible. I, too will stop watching AI and buying from iTunes if he loses!

I have been content to just watch and be amazed by Adam’s talent and show-stopping ability. Each week his performances have been consistently great. I have not made the call though. I have not yet voted once this season. That will change. As much as I like Danny, I hope Adam wins and I will make the calls from here on out.

PLEASE AMERICA!!! VOTE FOR ADAM. WE want him here performing, singing and making us all happy with his talent, personality and gorgeous face….!

I just wish Adam would realize he doesn’t have to do that high-pitched falsetto on every song he sings. He has a terrific voice and he is a great performer, but I would get tired of listening to him do a one-man concert after a while. That style of singing gets old fast. He would do better as lead singer in a group. For that reason, I can’t vote for him. Personally I am amazed by Allison’s talent at only 16 years old….it will only get better for her.

Just like the presidential election America got it Wrong! That’s right I am a REPUBLICAN and I vote for Adam. Not all Republicans are as shallow as Molly! Next week we need to vote,vote,vote and then vote again!

Next week is Rock Week? OMG….Adam please…NAIL IT!

I agree with slick.. my first thought was there is NO WAY Adam is in the bottom three and then they put him in the bottom TWO had to be a ploy. Molly: I think you need to wake up before you fall off your high horse because there has NEVER been a more deserving Idol than Adam Lambert period. I do think he would be better off if he does not win because he would be free to do his own thing. I can’t wait to see what he does with rock n’ roll night because he has rocked it every week! I think Tracks of my Tears is one of my favorite songs right now and I can’t wait to buy his first CD and see him in concert… the guy totally awes me on the stage.

Laura, you are the best, I feel the same about Adam. Danny Fat Gokey is time to listen Home sweet home!!!! Patty go to…
ADAM is the BEST!!!!!

A lot of comments and mostly positive about Adam, but I for one don’t like his music style. He has a stage presence which undoubtedly more suited for Broadway and this week he reminded me of Liberace rather than a contemporary pop talent.
I agree he has style, talent, and puts an original spin on his selections, but this is not a competition to find a Broadway singer who can shriek louder than anyone else!

I agree he has style, talent, and puts an orginal spin on his selections, but this is not a competition to find a broadway singer who can shreik loder than anyone else!

Absolutely incredible. No way Adam should ever be in the bottom of anything. All you Bible Belters can talk about him not being “American Idol” material for our kids, but that’s just prejudice nonsense. As cocky as Gokey has gotten, even HE was shocked he supposedly got more votes. Adam is the real deal (singing, dancing, anything). I don’t care what he does as far as his personal life (yes, I’ve Googled it, big deal????), he is by far the most talented person the show has ever had. I believe in God, and try to teach my kids right from wrong, but I also teach them not to be prejudice. When he’s done performing, he totally reverts back to this grinning, kind of chubby-faced kid who is completely humble and grateful. He doesn’t hog the camera w/the group, appears honestly happy for everyone else, and seems like an all-around nice guy. How can anyone not see that?

I have tried in previous weeks to vote for Adam and could NEVER get through, but this week I was able to get through a LOT, even with 2 lines. I didn’t expect that and was worried. Worried most that too many people would think he was SAFE. I’m glad he was able to shake ofF the Daughtry cut..that shows just how many fans he does have out there. VOTE America. I USED to vote for all the ones I wanted to see stay, this year I have ONLY voted for Adam, or tried to. I too am totally obsessed as so many others are. Would LOVE to see him do Queen next week…but it’s Rock week…he might, surely will, surprise us somehow. PLEASANTLY. I agree that Mad World was THE most amazing, and LOVED Ring of Fire. And I have to say, the thoughts about it being rigged so the other 3, and America, would feel that ‘anyone of the top 4′ has a chance certainly ran through my mind too! And before the show even started we were discussing that if he were to be cut we wouldn’t be watching the rest of the season. Right on with the comments about Adam didn’t deserve that treatment, indeed he has been NOTHING but a GENTLEMAN on that stage! He deserves this title like no other before him! Love Danny, and put him #2, but not ahead of Adam! VOTE VOTE VOTE

Please everyone vote for Adam and no one else. Make history on AI.

Adam fans VOTE! Don’t sit and not vote and then get upset if he’s in the bottom. He the only good contestant. Allison is to young, and have you listen to her? Once in a while she will get really pitchy. Danny, I love him but he can only do one type of music! Kris, hes just there because of all the teenagers voting for him because he cute…. BTW Adams hot. Eyeliner just works on some guys and on him… It just what hes meant to wear. Adam reminds me of , like, The Rolling Stones, Greenday and a church Choir put together.

I think that if the producers hummilate any contestant anymore, like have been doing for most of the seasons people are going to be angry. They will. On the American Idol Boards so many people are getting very angry. I, myself, have emialed the produces about this.

LOVE YOU ADAM!!!
KEEP ON ROCKING!

this is just a reality TV show, some of you need to relax

First off, I’m a Christian and I believe that my christian principles teach me to accept everyone as they are. God is all love, so aren’t we suppose to reflect that image. After all it’s in God’s hands to judge, not the individual. The people who are bashing Adam because he’s gay, disgust me, especially if you claim to be a Christian. To the one’s who are bashing him due to his “screeching & screaming”, are complete Idiots and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Overall Adam has incredible talent, he is a well mannered gentleman, and he deserves to win.

Like some of the other ladies above I am a 57 year old Grandmother and I like Adam, in fact I liked him from the very begining, I think last nights show was rigged, there is no way Adam got less votes than Chris, Adam did the Rat Pack nite perfect, he is a great performer, I think AI staged the whole thing just to draw more viewers, OR Adam fans felt he had it in the bag and didn’t bother to vote, OR you have the anti-gays trying to stop Adam from wining, who cares what his preference is, remember Elton John, George Michael, Freddy Mercury, all wonderful voices, AI is about talent not your sexual preference, Adam seems a nice man, quite humble when he gets judges comments and he try’s to bring a different flavor to show each week, the only week I felt he might of made the bottom 3 was when he did the Johnny Cash song, but this week there was no reason for him to be in the bottom 3 or bottom 2!! The winner of AI I thought was based on every performance they have done not just one week or am I wrong?? Also what makes me think that the show was rigged last night was the judges reaction to Adam being in the bottom 2, there was no emotion from them at all, and this was the young man that Simon stood up and appalauded and who got a standing ovation from Smokey Robinson!! come on who do they think they are kidding, I cannot vote for Adam because I am overseas with my husband who is a UN Peacekeeper, so please Adam fans give Adam a extra vote for me next week, just one final note, I think Ryan Seacrest’s treatment of Adam was terriable, why did he feel he had to humiliate him? did he get some kick out of that?? there was just no need for that at all.

Slash and Adam duet! I can see it!

Take me down to the Paradise city Adam! I love you!

Patty…. You cannot be serious!! Adam Lambert is the total package; he has an AMAZING voice, he has the looks and he is very entertaining to watch.

Laura: I’m with you 100% on everything you said.

Danny G (yawn) is a fairly good singer but he’s the SAME every week. I think he’s the one getting the sympathy votes this year.

ADAM LAMBERT IS AMERICAN IDOL and if he doesn’t win this season then I am done watching and I also think that with the rumors already spreading it would be the end of AI.

I too will never watch again if Adam leaves. Yes they are all talented but no way in the same level or league as Adam is. Entertainment is what I want in a show and in an artist. When amazing talent is matched in with that wow, charistmatic entertainer that makes me want to pay to be there or buy that music.

I voted on the 10 line since the 05 line was busy and got thru most of the time on that line but I am in central time. Please vote over and over if you really care if he wins. Good luck Adam!

Adam is a creative artist. Every Tuesday I can’t wait to see what he is going to do with his song selection and what he is going to wear. He is a great showman and has a great voice. He will pack them in at concerts. I can’t wait to go to one. Adam deserves to win!!!!!

Here I am 64 years old. I go along with most of the previous comments. Adam is the best by far. I too will not watch AI anymore if Adam does not win. He is pure talent. His vocal range is unbelievable. I took the advice and listened to Adam age 22, Brigadoon. WOW! This just reinforced my support for Adam.

get a life: Why are you even reading it then? Nobody says a thing to sports nuts about not getting hyped up or needing to relax if their team doesn’t win. We’re entitled, and WE LOVE ADAM!!

I cannot agree more with the comment from Pat in Canada. It was despicable the way Adam was made to choose which group he’d be in. He is by far the most talented. He has been gracious with all the compliments he has received and deserves to win after his constant stellar performances. Shame on American Idol for using him like they did last night! America isn’t voting for a lifestyle, we are suppose to be voting for the best performer. Let’s hope we are beyond our prejudices!!

Pam: ah ha ha!! I muted the TV because I did not want to hear them say the words. You are so funny but I agree with you it was worse than a horror movie!!

I’m curious what part of the country the people live in who couldn’t get through on Adam’s lines. I live and Minnesota, voted for 2 hours straight and got through over 700 times. I only got a busy signal maybe 10 times. I think Adam is awesome, a great showman and really down to earth in real life. Him being in the bottom two was all a ploy to boost the ratings! They love to do that sort of stuff.

TEXT YOUR VOTES – they always go through. the phone lines are too busy.

The only reason Danny has so many voting for him is because he used the death of his wife as a pity factor.
He should be ashamed of himself to stand there and victimize himself to get pity votes out of the fools who fell for it. It’s obvious his wife didn’t mean that much if he got over her death only two weeks after by being on American Idol. The producers of the show clearly used his sad story to get him to be the favorite out of people feeling sorry for him but he got screwed because a REAL talented person is in the same competition and no death in his family will change the fact that he is just a mediocre bar singer who cannot be compared to Adam Lamberts vocals and talent.

I so agree. It will be the end of it. If another taylor hicks wins i think that american idol is done. last year i voted for the rocker, ( David Cook ) and he won. I dont care if you can relate to Danny, he cant sing very well. I love him, but no. I will never buy anything of his singing. Nope, i dont think anybody will buy any Matt stuff either. He was not meant to win. I’m glad he got off… Adam is a pure singer. Best of the best. Not even Simon can say anything about that. And did you listen to Jamie Fox last night? He said that he liked adam. Didn’t mention anyone else. So… What does that tell you? Adams on another playing feild and the rest should understand that!

LOVE YOU ADAM!!!
KEEP ON ROCKING!

I am from India & unfortunately cant vote… Come on America ! Adam Lambert is one of the original talented singers your country has ever given the world … Vote Vote Vote..for ADAM.

The world see’s America having a problem with people who are not hetrosexual.. and are assuming that Adam got less votes cause he is rumoured to be gay ! Come on … prove us wrong !

Adam if you are reading any of this.. please do not change anything about your self. You are unique and one in a million. Your are already a winner ! Just do your thing…Your music will fly off the shelves whether you win Idol or not.
All the very best … Since I cant vote , I can only pray for you

DO IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
WE CAN’T LOSE HIM!!!

It just doesn’t seem right. Its one of those things that u don’t want to believe, yet u have to. On tuesday when adam sang I thought he was spectacular. That entrance? That long note at the end? Marvelous! He was amazing! I thought for sure that he sang better than any other song sung on that stage. I pretty much felt like crying when seacrest made him choose between the two sides. Then tell him that he’s in the bottom three. I bet that was just so horrible! I think adam is just a fantastic singer/performer/artist. And if he doesn’t win well then I will be really pissed off at america. I already am because talent like that does not deserve disregard. I love you adam!!!!!

Bark if you Love Adam Lambert!!!!!
Woof! Woof! Woof!

Isplit my votes for the 1st time so that allison was sure to stay–won’t happen again–ADAM MUST WIN !!!

Did anyone see the look on Allison and Danny’s face when Seacrest literally pushed Adam to the other side of the stage? I think they were as offended as most of us are. Idol cares more about drama and surprise than about respect. I agree that Adam has always been a gentleman. I HOPE IF ANYTHING COMES OUT OF THIS BLOG IT IS THAT AI HAS TO RETHINK HOW IT TREATS ITS CONTESTANTS. RESPECT! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? No one deserves to be mistreated! Where were the judges last night? They should all protest next Tuesday how Adam was treated or maybe the show needs to be axed!

Lisa: I agree with you too! I have saved every performance and re-watched it. I even make my husband watch them when he gets home because I am in awe!! I think this guy is AMAZING and I agree with Laura I am a 39 year old woman and I have never been a person to be in love with movie stars or rock stars but this guy just has my complete attention because he has it all.

Adams didn’t get the votes because when he screams a song rather then sings it (like Tuesday, it sounds terrible.

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

Yikes Nick, I wouldn’t have said that!

Adam has the best voice we have heard in a long time. Scream, I’LL SCREAM AT YOU! Adam is the best in the world!

If you love Adam, no is the time to vote for him and only him. I have been voting for others, thinking that Adam was safe and needed my votes. I will vote ONLY for Adam from now on!

Vote for Adam. I am a 51 year old mom and he is by far the most talented, imaginative, original performer ever on American Idol. I cannot wait until Tuesday night every week to get my Adam “fix”. Also, contrary to some opinions, I do not think he is arrogant at all. In my opinion, he has shown much grace while listening to the glowing reviews from the judges. What is he supposed to do? Obviously, he knows he’s talented and he wants to win just like the other contestants. They are an extremely talented group this year but by far, Adam is the most exciting and original. Can’t wait til Rock night!

If you love Adam, now is the time to vote for him and only him. I have been voting for others, thinking that Adam was safe and didn’t need my votes. I will vote ONLY for Adam from now on!

Erika; I totally Agree. Scream it loud and proud! i love adam lambert!!!!!

All you haters, if you really hate him so much then why even post? Don’t get angry when the Adam Fans come and get upset. We will. And he has the most fans…. Its true. I have no idea why he got in the bottom tho? Maybe it was that everyone thought he was going to get so many votes and they didn’t vote? Maybe….. So next time vote for your favorite not Allison so she doesn’t lose… Cuz’ do you want her or Adam? I think i know all your answers! LOL

BTW Woof!

LOVE YOU ADAM!!!
KEEP ON ROCKING!

I agree that we need to stop splitting our votes. I think Kris has a better voice than either Allison or Danny (does anyone really think he should be the Idol for 2009?) so I was voting half of the time for him. Now it is Adam, Adam, Adam. It seems like that is the only way to assure him of becoming the Idol. He already is a star!!

I am a South African who is smitten by Alan Lambert. We have seen some great singers since the inception of the competition internationally. The mixed reaction to Adam possibly is because we it is expected that a ‘gifted singer’ should already be an acclaimed artist.

The claims that he is arrogant are never substantiated and the personal digs are probably because one rarely finds some who is so gifted being humble, good looking (understatement)and true to himself. I can understand why he is compared with Elvis.

Every time Adam sings he takes me to a beautiful place. Fans of the other contestants cannot resist comparing their favorite with him – interesting.

To Adam’s parents – you are blessed with a son who inspires so many people and for just those few minutes every week, makes us forget about all life’s challenges.

Thank you for giving him your ‘unconditional love’. It scares me to think that there are so many self-righteous and judgemental people.

To those of you who prefer the other contestants, you are entitled to your choice. Try refraining from kindergarten tactics, like slander! We need not like everyone, but that does not mean that we should be ‘ugly’ about it. It’s not what you say that intrigues me, but rather what sits behind what you say and that says a lot about you. To the other contestants, I wish you well too!

Win or lose, Adam Lambert will be the next music sensation of modern popular music. Sometimes being so much better makes you a target. Yes, he has confidence on stage, but he is very humble. I have listened to his downloads hundreds of times- he is just the most incredible artist I have heard in years- not just on idol. He is up there with the best in rock and pop and Idol knows this. He has already outsold every AI artist in history with his iTunes downloads. Listening to his voice- his control in subtle and wild songs- his desire to sing it TO us, FOR us, it is hard to say what “IT” is, but as Randy said to Adam, “When you’ve got it, you’ve got it, and Baby, you’ve got it!!!”

I.ve watched AI religeously for the past 4 years. Adam Lambert is the most talented singer and performer I have ever seen on AI. He even puts some of the celebrity singers to shame. I am 52, my wife is 32 and my daughter is 9 and we all think Adam has is simply the best AI contestant ever!! Next week are redial button on our 3 phones will be working over time voting for Adam. Vote for Adam America!!

Okay people—who was messin’ with the numbers over at AI this week?!!?? Adam in the bottom two? RIDICULOUS is an understatement!!!!While Allison and Danny are good,Adam is in a league ALL OF HIS OWN!!! The person that should win this season’s Idol is OBVIOUSLY Adam. I think what Adam was put through last night was disgustingly disrespectful to a someone with the talent that he has repeatedly shown that he has.I have watched Idol since it’s first season and I was really angry last night. All of you Adam fans dial your phones until your fingers bleed . Make sure Adam gets the support that he deserves!!!!!

Adam in the bottom 2??? hmmm. I smell a rat. This had to be a ploy by the producers to create drama. Adam is the most talented contestant ever on AI and I have watched every season. And then they add insult to injury by asking advice from Taylor Hicks???!!! hahaha!

I swear I will never ever watch American Idol again if Adam Lambert doesn,t win.

PLEASE AMERICANS VOTE FOR ADAM AND NO-ONE ELSE. I WOULD IF I COULD AND I VOW NEVER TO WATCH AI AGAIN IF ADAM GETS BOOTED OFF. Greetings from the UK.

Adam won’t win because he’s gay, sad but true.

Adam is freaking amazing!! Something was SO wrong last night. I hate how some people say he “screams” if you guys have not noticed that is him holding a note.

Adam is the best …everyone needs to Vote ..Adam you have my vote..and I will vote many more times next week..can’t wait to see you on the tour.

Marie:
I live in Ohio and couldn’t get through either of Adam’s lines at all!

I’m not a hater, I’m just giving you people the reason why Adam landed in the bottom three. It is a singing competition not a get on stage and scream out a drama performance competition. Adam Lambert flat out does not have a good voice. He should be on Broadway not American Idol.

No split voting peeps. This is serious business now! Adam I am so sorry that you were submitted to that extremely rude behavior of Seacrest last night. I am so dissapointed with last nigts show. I feel it was rigged for ratings sake.How extremely sleezy!Adam has been nothing but a gentleman, mannerly, kind and so not full of himself. But he does have the right kind of confidence You’re already a star . hildren your age.

As someone else said, after Taylor Hicks, I lost faith in IDOL, but rekindled last year by David Cook winning. And he won because he is memorable. So, besides Adam, can anyone remember a song that was sung by any of the other contestants? What FOX did to him last night was low, even for them.

By the way, I did not mean to put Danny down (even if it sounded that way). He is a good singer but just not a super star. None of the other singers have us watching their performances over and over. None of the other stars have us mesmerized when they are done singing! Maybe iTunes should be weighing in since they are making lots of money from Adam Lambert!

What I thought was strange and quite unnerving Tuesday night was that I voted for Adam 10 times and got through right away with only one busy signal. I dialed on the 05 line. Next week I’ll have to triple or quadruple my efforts. As far as I’m concerned, without Adam there is no reason to care or bother to watch the show.

I’m a 53 yr old Canadian. The year Taylor Hicks won AI I stopped watching idol, I was so disgusted!(point made after yesterday nights horrendous act!…blllccccchhhh!) Anyhow, by pure coincidence I caught Adam performing one night and almost fell over! I was like “this guys on AI?!!! Why hasn’t he been discovered?!!! He’s incredible!” I was instantly transfixed, hooked, and back to watching AI again, just to catch Adam’s performances each week. I tape them and then replay his performances just to see if I can find any imperfections…NEVER! He is polished, remarkable, gracious, beautiful and most importantly talented beyond belief with a voice that gives my goosebumps! The rest don’t hold a candle to him. Danny & Allison are talented but they will never soar to super-stardom the way Adam is destined to. Adam is the KING of American Idle!

I am a 53 year old PTA – Little League mom who also has to get her weekly Adam fix. For the first time I thought to myself, ya know, I think I will try to go see the tour when it is in Tampa. Only because of him. He is the most talented, creative singer they have had so far. I buy his music already from I-tunes and can’t wait for his star to rise. What I love is that he is different – no ‘cookie-cutter’ idol kid here! Carlyn Bullock

Everyone please vote for Adam Lambert! I find it apalling that he was in the bottom three last night. Something must be wrong. Please everyone vote multilple times for Adam. His confidence and vocal ability and talent and ability to perform is amazing.

Adam needs to leave!!! He should be doing broadway not recording a Pop Idol album. He has a lot of talent but not for what this show represents! Danny all the way!

People, get real and calm down, this happens every season. It gets close and then people start neglecting the front runners to just try and keep some laggers in the race. Plus laggers start picking up votes from people who have exited. Alison obviously picked up Lil’s and Anoop’s votes. Couple that with a less than stellar performance by Adam on Tuesday and it was bound to happen. Don’tcha dare get me wrong. I’m Adam’s #1 fan in the USA. My favorite performance of his — Ring of Fire. Genius!

With the current avalanche of troublesome news and a deepening sense of crisis in the United States and by extension in Canada too, and the innumerable heartbreaking stories of personal loss and suffering and of individual tragedies woven into forming the clouds, Adam Lambert’s honesty and integrity in portraying his raw emotions through his singing connects with both the broken hearted and those who are afraid and often desperate.
He cannot emote such emotions without having experienced the pain of them himself. I believe our hopes for him to achieve well deserved universal success and recognition are borne out of our need to believe that things can and will get better.
Adam is not a saviour. He is a shining symbol of what needs to be rekindled in the hearts of America, of North America.
Adam is hope wrapped in brilliance crowned with humility.

Why do people say this is a singing competition? Its American Idol. An idol has stage presence, performing ability, the right look and singing ability. Adam is the obvious winner. The judges know it and the other contestants know it. It is obvious by the reactions.

If Adam doesn’t win then nothing on this show makes any sense AND I am no longer going to watch AI ever again!!!!!!!! I swear to GOD! Vote for Adam!!!!!

I think it is funny that the judges pretty much praise Adam everytime he performs,but still some people say he can’t sing? hmm I don’t see how that works..GO ADAM!I LOVE YOU!

I tried voting for Adam for 25 minutes before a call finally went through, I think a rat was in the AI vote counting pack

I agree the treatment of Adam last night was truly horrible to watch. I am a hugh Adam fan but I didn’t vote because I was complacent. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I will VOTE VOTE VOTE!!

I’m a full on Adam Lambert fan. Originally from England but now living in the US. It upsets me that so many Americans are judging him on his looks and lifestyle rather than voting for the best singer. Even educated people at my work who have JDs and PhDs say stupid things about his looks and lifestyle choices that just astounds me. It’s the 21st century, people! Can’t you look past the make up and the nail polish and see what a gloriously talented singer Adam is? If you can, good for you! Get off your Lazy Boy recliner and vote! Who cares about Gokey and Allison, really? OK, they’re good singers but their not special. Adam is a superstar and I for one, will be voting non-stop next Tuesday night. Spread the word, Adam lovers. It’s time to get our man all the way to number 1!!!!

Who is Adam?? God that he can’t be in the bottom 2? Get real people!

Mary: I’m kind of embarrassed that you brought up the lifestyle and prejudices thing. Are you a rumor monger? I personally do not listen to rumors because they have no place here and are a moot point.

…one more thing…I forgot to mention that I was absolutely appalled at what Ryan Seacrest & the Idol judges subjected Adam to last night. If it wasn’t humiliating enough regarding what occurred on stage (making him choose) but then the judges were such wimps they couldn’t even verbally offer him some morale support. AND, as for Adam having the honesty & guts to actually choose a side (and not sit like a phony on the fence)THAT IS NOT ARROGANCE! It is a singing COMPETITION (not a congeniality contest) and he has a right to be confident.

i just wanna start off by saying that whoever tells ryan seacrest what to do is on crack. because you DO NOT make a contestant chose what side they should go with. not only is that disrespectful to the adam, but to the other candidates as well. you’re a jerk, ryan!

enough about him…let’s move on to adam. did he deserve to be in the bottom 3?! DEFINITELY NOT! he is the most talented person i’ve EVER seen in my whole entire life! i vote for him every single week and i’ll continue to all the way until the end of the season. HOWEVER, could they have just said that he had some of the lowest votes when really he had the most for ratings? ABSOULTELY! but i dunno if that’s what they did or not. i dunno if they CAN legally do that or not. i just think that ryan owes adam an apology and he just needs to go out next week with a BANG! which i’m sure he will since it’s rock week.

GOOD LUCK ADAM!

Adam is to good to even be on American Idol. What they did to him last night was just plain wrong. Everyone keep voting for Adam..he really deserves to win this.People who bash him are just embarrasing themselves.

Gina I TOTALLY agree with you. I was sick to my stomach because of what they did to him. Adam you are the most talented person I have ever seen on that show!

Boycott the top 10 tour if Ryan and the judges do not apologize for how Adam was treated last night. Hit American Idol where it hurts.
How could you, Paula, not stand up for Adam? Not because he was in the bottom three – but for the disrespect shown to him by Seacrest (who I am sure was told to do what he did by the producers of this flunky show). Is the ‘pool of Abdul’ no longer around?? You did not need to put the others down to protest how Adam was treated. Where were you Randy? You are not the kind of guy who just rolls over and watches this behavior in silence!
Adam, your fans are outraged and know that we are behind you! Even if you were not our Idol, you were sooooo mistreated and you have been such a ‘gentleman’ (as others are saying too). And I am a 61 year old mother of three who taught her sons to behave better than Ryan and the rest.

Please vote for the talent. Adam deserves it. He is the epitome of what an American Idol is. I have not been voting. Shame on me. I have been letting the tweens do it who in the past seasons have mostly got it wrong. I am correcting my mistake and will vote for him from now on. I encourage all the older population who watches and is riveted by Adams performances to vote for him. I am 44 and have been watching idol since it’s beginning. I have saved all his performances and replay them again and again. I show them to my friends and family who are now also hooked on Adam. He is so like Elvis. He comes at such a good time. Our world is in desperate need for an Elvis figure right now. Did you see his little Elvis lip when he sang Mad World?
When the tweens are old enough to put their bubblegum away and open their minds to appreciate Adams depth as an artist and a performer they will kick themselves for being so shallow. Please vote. Don’t let him loose to the bubblegum crowd who ultimately as they mature would end up loving an artist like Adam. I mean I used to think the Bay City Rollers were the bomb and then I discovered Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd….

Adam is the absolute freakin’ bomb! Love him, love him, lovehim!!! Last night was just a bad joke. I am not an AI fan, but I sure am an Adam Fan!!! Adam, do your thing honey!

Idol fans must understand what the fan base of AI is.

1. Everytime someone else get’s voted off, that hurts Adam’s chances even more to win. Here is why. Noop and Lil Rounds went out and their fans will convert to Allison, Danny or Chris. Why ? Because their styles are more similiar to each other than Adam. Adam is the only unique one and so every time someone who is not Adam gets voted off they converge to the nearest replica…which means Adam will be out !

2. People do not vote for the best singer, they vote for the singer they LIKE best. This is just the way it is. It is not fair, it is not based on talent, that is the nature of how people vote.

3. The phone lines simply do not consistently work. Several websites talked about people trying to vote for Adam or others and not being able to get through.

4. The Gay/Not Gay factor. Several media sites talked about church groups as well as Country Western fan bases and “conservative” listeners not liking he ideal of the “role model” Adam might be. Because of this, several groups have told their members to vote multiple times trying to skew the voting process and blackball Adam.

5. We fear that which is different. The other singers fit into the mold. America likes the mold.

This is why Adam won’t win. My own opinion however…Adam clearly is the best technical singer (range /tone/pitch factor, performer, entertainer and potential star of the group.

The Truth..former musician and recording artist

I too am in awe that Adam could be in the bottom 2!!! WTF???

I’m from Canada and cannot vote–it sucks.

So please, vote for Adam on behalf of all of us who can’t.

Adam deserves to win this season-pure and simple.

I wish those ignorant idiots would quit saying Adam screams or shrieks. They need to replace the batteries in there Miracle Ear!!! Adam is awesome! DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FOR 2 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I am not so sure the younger viewers are not Adam fans. Like I said, I am 61 and everyone I know (especially my grandkids) love Adam. Maybe we all have to concentrate on voting!! I only voted 50 times (which I thought was pretty high until I read some of the bloggers). Actually this is the first blog I have blogged because I am really so passionate about what a great star Adam is.

Please everyone, vote for Adam and tell all your friends to. Why? Because Adam has changed the way many people think about themselves. We need to give him back something.

Vote non-stop. Thanks everyone.

Sometime in the future, the story of AI vote-rigging will come out in some scandal.

What’s wrong with the result last nite? I’m really disappointed. I hate that I cannot vote for Adam Lambert as I’m not American. Adam, don’t give up. Hope the best can win.

Sorry, but professionals like Adam have no place on the AI stage. It’s just unfair to the others who have amazing voices, but no theatrical training.

WHat you can’t see is that Adam has grown stale to the rest of AMerica. It’s always the OTT glam stuff and yowling. Everything about him is so planned and contrived – who is he really? Last week it looked like he was channeling his inner Cher or something swishing his hips down the stairs…major turn off. Even my kids were embarrassed!

I’m feeling a Kris and Danny match for the finals.

INSANE. I’m in singapore and I can’t vote for Adam Lambert, so all I can do is pray for him with the desperation that smacks of the coming of judgement day. BUT PLEASE, those of you who have the power to vote, don’t just sit on your asses and let the biggest tragedy in the entertainment industry that can happen actually happen! Vote Lambert! He’s the musical demi-god we’ve all been waiting for and he totally deserves to win this. Adam is the reason I watch american idol. Adam is the reason I watch TV. Adam is the reason why I believe God exists! Don’t snatch off the victory he so rightly deserves. VOTE ADAM LAMBERT. Its now or never, America. This is your top four. Don’t rubbish up the top three. This is important.Peace.

I hope Adam reads these posts so that he knows what a huge fan base he has from so many different walks of life!!
GO ADAM!!!!!
VOTE FOR ADAM!!!!!!

Sorry folks, I’m not an Adam fan. His singing is screamy and screechy. His rendition of “Born to be Wild” was an insult to the song.

Sorry: Unfortunately I agree with you. I hope I am wrong! Adam deserves to win!!

With all of the turmoil going on these days, it is refreshing to have a few hours ‘escape’ each week–those moments when Adam takes the stage, the world seems like a better place–because he loves so much what he does… and we all love to watch him. Last night, seeing him pushed around the stage like that gave me such pause, that this show would simply minimize him like that. It seems like the other contestants (especially Alison!) wanted to clock Ryan. I did, too!! Well, at least we have another week with Adam!

I’m a Spore Glambert and for the 1st time, I did not watch tonight’s results show. I do not want to see the disgusting schemes that AI had set up for ADAM. What BOTTOM 2 – how CRAZY can that be? And Randy and Kara HUGGING OVER THIS???

Adam Lambert is an INCREDIBLE ARTISTE and my family and others I know here are truly upset over this. I was MAD MAD AND INCENSED NOW.

ADAM is the only BIG ONE that can help people to get over this bad times. Yes, he makes me forget and instead indulged in his world. Now I’m pissed off by the insecurity of this talent show. It makes no sense. ADAM is tops in ALL POLLS, in INTERNET SEARCHES, even in my country’s surveys. He’s a phenomenon.

I’m truly sick of this show and the hypocrites in it.

American Idol quit treating us like we are idiots…. There is no way ADAM LAMBERT was in the bottome 3…. He is the best you guys have ever had… Everyone I know says I got to get home to watch ADAM not AL… make no mistake this may be the last Season for AL if Adam does not get what he truly deserves and that is the #1 slot… True Character is
seen when you are put to the test and you still are the same gentleman Adam was last night….

Vote for my former husband, or i will haunt you for eternity.

Adam’s studio version of Feeling Good is beautiful, amazing, remarkable and probably helps me understand why he didn’t get the most votes. I mean I don’t think our top artists of today could win on AI. Can you imagine a Jack White on this show? We used to have TV shows that gave us an hour or two of music and entertainment — Shindig, Hullabaloo (?), even Ed Sullivan. We could see Jim Morrison in all his glory. We embraced Frank Zappa. The Animals came into our homes. Okay, I’m not absolutely sure Frank Zappa ever appeared on those shows, but you know what I mean? Now we’re lucky to see three minutes of Depeche Mode at the end of a mindless late-night show (I had to watch every damn minute to make sure I didn’t miss them, same as I have to watch every damn minute of AI to make sure I don’t miss any second of Adam). I can’t imagine Martin Gore getting past the judges’ first round, speaking of DM, speaking of talent and connection, and maybe speaking of “wrong time.” We’ve been living through about twenty years of conservative, TV-soma, prozac-stunned consumerism, and rock apparently isn’t for the faint-hearted. I’ll continue voting for Adam because he wants us to and because he’s getting under our collective skin — good for him. And I hope he puts Feeling Good on his first CD (along with Ring of Fire). Yeah, Adam, I do know what you mean.

Am i watching the same show you guys are watching? I just dont see it! Adam is not the best talent. maybe if it were a show for the next broadway star adam would be the best, but the guy screams the songs. Danny is by far the better singer. Adam should just tone it down a little and sing not scream maybe i would be a fan. GO DANNY!!

I think the show is rigged in order to create drama. How on earth did Alison, who was in the bottom 3 many times this season, make it to the top all of a sudden this week? Not that I don’t like her (I love her!), but this doesn’t make sense because she doesn’t seem to have such a large fan base. And of course, the elephant in the room – ADAM!?!?! He is SO much better than the rest, his videos on YouTube have millions of hits (a 5-second video of Adam dancing has more hits than the actual performances of the other contestants!), he is also the most downloaded on iTunes, they released the info the other day: 6 out of the top 10 most downloaded AI songs on iTunes are Adam’s, 3 are Kris and 1 is Danny, so how on earth were Adam and Kris bottom 2??

I beleive there are a lot of young viewers that love Adam, but I also believe there are a lot of the younger viewers who are voting who do not yet appreciate Adam, or are influenced by a parental value system that feels he “different” and therefore not acceptable.
Kudos for the younger group that Loves Adam. Keep voting for Adam!

Livya, who thinks Adam is growing “stale”.

Everything about him is inventive, original, and touches the audience. Think about “Mad World”–permanently haunting and effective.

I too was so shocked that Adam was in the bottome two and was appalled at how he was made to choose a side (and Adam, not being a game player,reluctantly chose a side) then when Ryan actually grabbed his arm and hauled him over to the other side ,it was demoralizing and humiliating, no one should be treated like that, it made me feel sick and empty inside.And Adam stood tall and handled everthing with his usual grace and dignity which even makes me love him more. He is strong and smart and will rise above this and his fans will now vote like there’s no tomorrow! Love you Adam,you will always be my shining star!

I am surprise what happened to Adam Lambert this week. I thought most Americans are more intelligent than the rest of us from “third world” countries to allow Adam Lambert in the bottom two when it is very clear that he shines above the others. AI is a singing competition and Adam got all the qualities demanded for the title holder if it is indeed a singing competition. I can’t help but wonder why… Anyway, Adam, to many you are the star that attracted some of us who stopped watching AI, returned back eagerly waiting for Tuesdays and prayed for you. Rise up and outshine them all and prove Americans they were wrong in not voting for you this week.

Gorkey’s comment that he listened and copied was just too funny.
During his performance, I kept saying that he was trying to do Glambert, but it wasn’t working. Now he admits to copying. What a phony. He is totally boring…everything sounds the same.

I don’t have enough superlatives for Adam. I love him.

With that out of the way, I would like to make a point about the whole ‘religious’ backlash against him. People who don’t like Adam, but do like Danny, sometimes point out how Danny sings with his religious group. As if that makes him more suitable to win Idol.

Well, ok, if participating in one’s religous community is for some bizarre reason your standard for who should win an entertainment contest, then please check out Adam singing ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Shir Lasholom’ in Hebrew on youTube. Oh wait! Jewish doesn’t count as religious in Conservative America does it?

Adam didn’t deserve to be in the bottom, plain and simple. Adam deserves to win and needs our votes. Just because we know he’s good doesn’t mean he’s always safe without us.

Someone said that Adam is the next modern pop superstar – and I don’t understand how he’s modern when he’s only done renditions of other people’s covers AND he sounds exactly like a 1970’s frontman for a hair band? He is a great performer but this is for the next pop singer and that is something he’s not. He’ll even be the first to say it – he’s not one to conform and that’s good for him. This was a great jump-off point to get noticed but he shouldn’t win. Can you honestly see him singing a “my moment is now-hope springs eternal” type song that will be written for the winner? It will be beneath what he’s capable of. “We Will Rock You;” a “Phantom of the Opera” revival, “Jesus Christ Superstar;” “The Boy from Oz” – all of these would be amazing for Mr. Lambert…a number one pop album? I don’t think so.

He will win – don’t get me wrong but I can guarantee it will be a hilarious album. I really don’t see how Clive Davis will make this one work. Like Taylor Hicks on a completely different spectrum – Adam doesn’t deserve to win this title but he deserves to reap the rewards that will flood in for the type of performance he should be doing – fronting a band OR winning a Tony.

Adam should quit AI right now because it will do more harm than good to his career. He is a unique artist and should stay true as he is. But he will be voted off if he keeps doing the way he has been doing for the whole season.

Unfortunately, it is possible that Adam will stay in the bottom.

Let’s assume Lil Rounds voters moved to Allison and Anoop’s voters to Chris and Danny.

Let’s further assume that a lot of Adam’s fans vote for him, but might have a few sympathy votes for other’s as well.

Or let’s assume there are more people like me. I am a fan of Adam’s talent, but I have never voted for any show or contestent (wrong assumtion on my part that my vote won’t change a thing).

Now I am “infected” with the “fan-virus” and will pick up the phone next week voting for Adam

He won’t win. Factor everything in, that scream isn’t impressive anymore. It’s just quite annoying. He’s pushing himself out of AI.

With world-wide recession, war and now pandemic flu, I tune in to AI for entertainment and escape and to watch AdDAM – NOT for the tripe of last night!
And if Adam were really in danger of being voted off, would Paula sit there laughing and smiling? AI producers really don’t get their viewers, they don’t give a damn about these kids and they seem to think it is entertaining to see Adam treated with utter disrespect. If they don’t believe that viewers will stop watching when stupid stuff like this goes on, boy, will they be surprised when their numbers TANK!

I am a 58 year old female fan of Adam, and I, too, was shocked to see him in the bottom three (and then two) last night. I also suspect voters took for granted that he would be at the top and didn’t bother to vote. I hope that lesson has been learned, and all Adman fans will vote next week as much as they possible can. AND – I also was apalled at the treatment of Adam by the show’s producers. Though I felt much disappointment at the outcome, I was enraged at the handling of it. To put Adam in that position was downright cruel. He should have done the same as the guy the other year that, having been put in that same position, just sat down right where he was, in protest. I’m suspect Adam did not do that because he seems to be a truly nice guy, and obviously doesn’t want to rock the boat, or appear arrogant (he is NOT)! For this talent (or any of them) to be treated that way is OUTRAGEOUS, and I hope AI people get the message that they are losing AI fans through antics like that. Adam is one of the most talented people (not only for all the AI seansons) I have ever seen and/or heard. I, like many others, absolutely thrill to his voice. He has it ALL. He has been given a real gift to touch people’s hearts and souls. Not all singers fit into that category. In fact, only a very few do. The rest of the contestants are very talented also – and I wish them much success. Adam will be successful regardless whether he wins AI. That’s’ a no-brainer. I will be waiting patiently for the release of his first album/CD. Adam, thank you for the consistent goose bumps you give people of all ages, races, creeds, etc. You are a special soul, and I wish you all the goodness and success you deserve!

AI winner has to be solely based on talent and artistry. Adam is unique, amiable and unpretentious with an enduring constituent. HE WILL MAKE IT BIG!!!I am surprised with most Americans’ hypocracy. Isn’t America the flag carrier of democracy. Adam is not afraid to express himself. That’s what freedon is all about? He’ll make music that would hypnotize us all!!! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! ADAM WANTS TO WIN, that’s the true nature of his spirit…!!!! Remember, Adam said he’s very competitive!! THANK YOU.

I am a professional, somewhat conservative 40 something (lol) y/o wife and mother who has been re-introduced to music, rock and the excitement of both by watching Adam Lambert on American Idol. What else can I say? I have read all the questions and comments about Adam (and seen the pictures etc.) and guess what? I don’t care…. He is awesome. He evidently inspires something along these same lines in a lot of other people or they wouldn’t be talking about him like they do. Let’s not let the teeny boppers, ultra-conservatists, etc., win and make sure Adam wins this year! We have to vote (and yes, that means voting like a teeny bopper would)- Vote Vote Vote – What a scare last night? If it was a ploy by AI it worked on me.

I am from Italy but I watch (and watched) every single episode of American Idol.
I love Adam and I think he has to win because of his incredible talent.. I was shocked he was on the bottom 2.. I am really wondering if AI is fake like many other things. I can’t vote from here, I can only hope Adam’s fans will vote more than ever. And by the way, if people say they don’t vote for him cuz he is gay.. that is racism, you know! it’s like saying that I don’t vote for him cuz he is black or whatever.. you people are so wrong..

America, please vote for ADAM! I’m from Singapore and I can’t vote. So, pleaseeeeeeeeee, some kind souls help me to vote! Just listen to the star guests’ comments about him, every one of them is praising him and is amazed at how well he sings. Those who claims that he screeches or screams, have you watched him sing live?????? If you haven’t, how can your comments be valid then?!! Won’t it make more sense to hear the comments of those who had heard him sing live? I’ve never ever been so mesmerised by anyone other than ADAM. I’m no listener or fan of music, but he changes me to one who does. Adam! Adam! Adam! Adam! Go, go go! No Adam, no American Idol for me!

So when AI make other people choose where they belong OR they fake them out into thinking they’re safe but they’re not…it’s okay. But Glambert get dissed once and everyone is ready to boycott… C’mon people it’s a tv show – will your life end if he doesn’t win? Nope, it won’t.

Someone said that Adam is the next modern pop superstar – and I don’t understand how he’s modern when he’s only done renditions of other people’s covers AND he sounds exactly like a 1970’s frontman for a hair band?

Kris Allen has my vote. Pure voice, great musical ability. He is an artist. Adam would be better suited on Broadway. Without the lights and dramatic effects, adam is just like the rest of them.

Do I care if you never watch Idol again…..not really.

OK…another middle aged woman here as a huge Adam fan..whats up with this? I guess when you’ve got the “it” factor, you enthrall people no matter of age. Adam, never mind the negative comments. There will always be a small group of people that just don’t get you, to each their own. The important thing to remember is God made just the one you. It seems you’ve pretty much figured out who you are for now (this process never ends, though) so keep going with your journey. There is no doubt that you will be incredibly popular, yes, Elvis big. Not everyone was an Elvis fan..me included, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a huge star. So, that being said, some warnings. What will you do with this fame. With the power and money that come. Drugs? Excess? Self absorbtion? That doesn’t seem to likely at this point, but, you’re inevitably going to be set up for a fall somewhere. So as you work to develop your career, remember to continue developing your character. Stay centered and surround yourself with spiritual people that you’ll listen to. I worry. So many tragic deaths with mega talents. With these gifts you have been given come weaknesses. Know what yours are and work to find strength. Take good care of yourself, Adam. Do that for you. Be self dicaplined. The people you touch with your gifts really love you because you’re giving us a glimps of our own vulnerability somehow. That is God given so never take it for granted. I, along with lots of others, will be praying for you to be diligent to stay on the right track. AI, so what. Perspective…Love you, always will.

I wish American Idol would put Adam on to sing first so that I can watch him and then turn off my tv and go about my chores for the evening. Tell me, why do they put him on at the end of the show all the time??????hummmm

Why do I rush back from work every Wed and Thur for ???? Even skipping a red light.

Adam Lambert has got the POWER to make me do that.

I do not care if he’s gay or not, black or white, christian or not – he is someone with the BIG TALENT for me to idolised. And the MAJORITY apparently agrees with me.

And that Idiotic Ryan had to spoil my life tonight.

1) Shame, shame, shame on anyone who is shallow enough to think that the fact that it is RUMORED that Adam is gay even matters. It has no effect on YOUR life so why would you care and it does not take away from the fact that he is nothing short of amazing.

2) I think that humbled is the correct word. I believe that Adam is truly humbled by the reaction that he as received. He has always been gracious when he is receiving the comments from the judges good or bad.

3) I am appalled that AI would treat anyone the way that they treated Adam last night. Do they realize what a mistake they have made?? That will be one of the more memorable performances in AI history and I don’t think anyone will forget it any time soon and with the ratings going south I think they just kicked themselves while they were down.

4) Adam if you are reading this blog then please know that you out shine any current superstar that I can think of and truly deserve more than AI has given you. There has not been a contestant in the history of AI that deserves this more than you. You are loved and admired by so many for your talents and although we don’t know you personally we certainly believe that you are an amazing person as well. I could go on and on with words of encouragement and praise for you because you deserve them but I will stop here.

5) I believe that at least 40,000,000 of the 4?,000,000 votes this week were for Adam but the producers had to do something about the fact that Adam was the only one that had not been in the bottom three. I think that there attempt at ratings might help them out through the end of this season (solely because of Adam) but will ruin them in the end. It’s called Kharma and the disrespect they showed for Adam and by insulting the intelligence of so many viewers I think they might just meet their demise…. especially if Adam doesn’t win.

Adam is in a league of his own.His voice,creativity, and magical charisma come across those cameras every week. I for one can not wait for Tuesday evenings. I believe the fiasco from last evening occurred because people just assumed that it is a shoe-in and didn’t think it was necessary to vote. The way that Seacrest delivered the news was mean and disrespectful. Anyway, America ,WAKE-UP and get to those phones unless you want another Daughtry mishap.Remember, nothing is guaranteed. Adam delivers to us every week in spades, the least we can do is return the favor.

Adam is the most talented and best singer in the group! They are all very talented – this is the best season for talent!!!!!
Adam did not deserve to be in the bottom 3! Also treated like that! Adam fans are letting him down and not calling!
Adam fans must pick up the phone and VOTE! I voted for two hours on two phones for Adam! We can’t just think Adam should win! If Adam was voted off I never would watch American Idol again. We hold his fate in our hands and don’t sit on our Laurels!!! VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR ADAM!!!!!
I watch his version of “Mad World” daily- as though I am addicted to it- I can’t listen to it enogh-it was haunting and mesmerizing all at the same time. I want a CD to be made today so I can buy it- they always wait to long after the show to put out their cd’s. They lose all the momentum of the show and they leave dollars$$$$$ on the table. I would buy anyting at all right now with Adam Lambert on it– Adam Lambert is the Entertainer of the year! Make no mistake about it- I look forward to see him on Tuesdays. With the trials and tribulations of day to day life- Adam is the one brightspot!!! Please vote for Adam if you are a Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not believe that Adam was in the bottom three, or if he was it was because there was a malfunction with text messaging.I had to wait over a half an hour before my text was acknowledged. What offended me was the way Adam was treated. Ryan was rude and obnoxious. Putting Adam on the spot to decide where he should be was uncalled for. Pushing Adam from one side of the stage to the other was disrespectful. If Adam does not win I will never watch this show again and i will never watch anything that has to do with that nasty little Seacrest.

This was a wake-up call for Adam’s fans. Keep voting!! Borrow an extra phone from someone and dial with both hands the entire 2 hours. This guy has worked so hard to perfect his talent over the years and gives his best each week, creating the most entertaining performances on Idol ever. The least we can do is take 2 hours from our week and vote him our Idol.

Whoever wins, and I hope it is the extremely talented, gracious and polite Adam, no one should be treated as he was onstage last night. It was poor form on the producers’ and Seacrest’s part and I have lost respect for them. There is no need to humiliate someone like that just to pump up the tension and the ratings. VOTE VOTE VOTE for Adam! BTW I am 51 years old and confess to a major crush on Adam.

I’m just hoping my guy Kris with the lowest cheeseball factor will get a spot in top 2 or 3 and then walk away with a record deal, free from the stifling AL obligations.

am having a 75th birthday party sunday…will ask everyone as a gift to me to vote for Adam

Sitting here listening to “Queen”
I know Adam could do Freddie’s stuff. Wouldn’t that be something?

I voted for Adam for 2 straight hours and vowed I’d stop watching if he is voted off! An Idol performance without him would be boring!

My family and I couln’t be happier to see Adam in the bottom 3. Week after week, his songs are the same…the same long note with tongue sticking out. He is better suited for the stage rather than the recording business and no matter how badly he tries,he really isn’t a “rocker”, he’s more of a “rocker wonnabe”. Screaming a song doesn’t make you a “rocker”. I think he’s a little confused about himself and can’t quite decide what he is. He’s a “performer”…not an”Idol” or a “recording star” but an “excellent stage performer” that’s it!

adam should win because he is the best singer in the competition and i think people need to get over the fact that he is gay, so what?? that doesn’t mean he cant sing right??? so people keep on voting 4 adam cause he deserves to win

Did you hear Danny blabbering incomprehensively again last night? He is not just corny and boring, but apparently also dumb….Should have spent those Sunday mornings doing homework instead. This is not the kind of person I would EVER idolize. I am sorry that Matt was voted off (or removed by AI’s producers) before Danny, this was unfair. I like Matt and wish him all the best.

oh adam a part of me will die forever if you don’t win. save a life, america, vote for adam lambert.

Glad to read all these. I’m infected with Adamholic too. Have many bottles at home and still wanting more of that Glambertini.

Drunk with sadness tonight, but Adam will be fine. “The brave will be rewarded”.

I love him beyond words. He’s truly inspirational. What theatric?? In fact because of Adam now, I’m getting keen interest in Broadway too. I used to just go for easy listening ballad songs. My kids used to call me “Boring”, now they are open jawed that I love Adam. Thanks, Adam for introducing me to MUSIC that I would otherwise not have known existed because I was so one dimensional.

Love
Overseas

P.S. I beg you – Americans please save Adam. He is the best thing to happen to your country now.

Next week Adam Lambert fans will bring the votes back. I do not believe he was ever in the bottom two. Personally, I believe he is the best singer on this show. A combination of singers such as Mercury/Bowie/Rose & Elvis. This man is a talent just blooming. In my opinion Chris is also one of the better singers but America has seen alot of kids like him. Danny has absolutely no stage presence and admitted he trys to copy other performers stage presence. To me he is boring and it is getting old. Allison is trying too hard to act like Kelly Clakson and can’t pull it off. Her vocals are off and can’t pull off the high notes she thinks she can. She seems like she doesn’t really care as well. Adam lambert will be the winner either way. He has a god gifted talent and is superb.

Im happy that Adam got put in the bottom 3. Not because I don’t like him, because he’s AMAZING..but it shows him that even with his amazing vocals, he is disposable in the music industry. Regardless if he got booted from the show, he would easily do the best of all of them. Not to mention, AI puts him last because they know that if he were first, people would change channels after he sang.

ADAM FANS
PLEASE DON’T SPLIT VOTES! ADAM ONLY.
WHOEVER CANNOT SEE THAT HE IS AMAZING, IS JUST PLAIN DUMB.
HE WILL GO ON TO OUTSHINE ANYONE BEFORE HIM!ADAM ROCKS! VOTE!!!!!

yes adam is the best, please vote only for adam

I am hosting a “Lambertini” party at my house this Tuesday and will make sure that all my friends vote for Adam non-stop! No one on this show has ever deserved the Idol title more than him. Please Adam fans, mobilize! Yes we can!

我爱ADAM LAMBERT.
他是最出色的。

You don’t see that the votes were manipuled..is imposible that Adam was in the bottom 3. He is the BEST. everybody have to see that. last night was a lie.

I was hoping Adam would do a Melinda Doolittle and just sit down in the middle of the stage when asked to decide. American Idol last night fully morphed from a “singing competition” as the judges like to remind us to another schlock reality show where tension is scripted.

Whether you love or hate Adam Lambert’s performances the guy is humble, personable and always gracious. He also has a stage presence that no one can match. He deserved better treatment from the show’s producers instead of being the muse for a sweep’s month ratings grab.

Perhaps the best path for Adam is to get the boot like Chris Daughtry and move on to better things instead of being subjected to the Idol handlers who would not know rock/modern rock if it fell out of the sky and landed on their head.

Ultimately, it comes down to whose record would you buy? I’ll check out Adam’s CD when it comes out.

Age 54 and still rocking!

Vote for my former husband, or I’ll haunt you for eternity.

Really Alex, how nice to be able to join you. You know, Adam fans are one of the best and passionate people I ever know. I have the good fortune to know a really nice Christian American lady and I intend to visit her when Adam got his first SOLO concert at don’t know when.

If Adam don’t win this thing and if there is no Concert for him, I not only swear off this show, but I’m going to swear off visiting USA. Total lost of motivation and the hypocrisy of this whole event and the votees.

Yes this is the best AI to date alot of great talent and amzing vocals, but Adam is the one, he is humble thankful and ful of every talent you can see in one person. His range for music goes way beyond any artist. He CAN do it all, i believe that all will get a record deal. But its Adam that should be the winner.

wow, that was rude

I was disappointed with AI last year in how they got rid of Michael Johns. It was very uncalled for!! The only reason we started watching again this year was because my uncle made me watch for Adam! This week I had a hard time getting thru on Adam’s lines and now feel that this was very sleazy and low for AI to do to get ratings and trying to make it a competition!!! Through out the show, Ryan kept stating it is anyone’s game…well it is if you tamper with the votes!!!! I thought Adams lines were busy from people calling . But obviouly they must be cutting his lines so votes can not be counted for him! From the reaction of the crowd and from blogs online there was no way Adam could be in the bottom 2. He DEFINATELY has TALENT..they are all covering songs…he is very much presenting his versions to make a statement, that he is the BEST!!!! AI NEEDS TO STOP TAMPERING WITH THE VOTING PROCESS and being GREEDY about ratings!!!!!

Very disappointed of treatment to Adam – Very disrespecful – sham on you Ryan and AI

VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR ADAM

I love Adam too, but doesn’t anyone recall that Seacrest did the same thing to Archie last year? He split the top 7 into 2 groups of 3 and then made Archie choose a group. Archie then just sat down in the middle of the stage!

I tried both lines and could not get through for Adam….

I too cannot wait for Tuesday night to hear Adam sing. He is an amazing talent that could not have been in the bottom two.
If he was to be voted off, I would not watch AI any longer. We have contests at work and out of 130 employee’s, 98 vote for Adam. It is all you hear about so how could he have been in the bottom two? Something is wrong with this and I feel like it was done by AI execs.
Go Adam! I’ll follow you anywhere you go.

Adam Lambert made a logical mistake last night while choosing the group!

Here is why!
Ryan separated the contestants into two groups. The educated guess would be that one group had the top vote getters and the other group had the least vote getters. If Adam thought that Danny and Allison’s group (based on Tuesday Night’s performance) sang well and were safe, then he could NOT be a part of that group because that would leave the Bottom three incomplete as it would only have two contestants, Matt and Kris. So if Adam indeed thought that Danny and Allison were safe then, he was the only one left out to complete the bottom three which means he should’ve chosen to stand with Matt and Kris.

All that being said, Adam to me is The Winner of the contest! I hope that at least this week Lambert fans who got complacent that he was gonna bag the title without their votes, realize their mistakes, get off their backsides, and vote for him. He is the real deal!

Wow, just look at the number of PRO ADAM comments here. Everywhere is the same. Mostly lopsided to Adam.

Another thing I like about the guy besides his incredible talent in most genres, is that he carries himself like a fine gentleman. He is intelligent, eloquent, humorous and humble. I can count his mumblings of the word “Thanks” at least 6 times per episode. Not to mention he’s drop dead gorgeous. Else with his preferences, how can so many gals love him (including myself and my maid).

Allison should go home she screams all the time..we do not like her still lack of a personality and charm for being 17 she looks way to old. Allison Iraheta lacks in enunciation she makes up for with phrasing that we do not understand.

Obviously some of you have never lost a spouse because if you had you would know that Danny truly mourns for his wife. It is not his fault the AI producers have chosen to make this a draw for people. I seem to recall reading and article where Liam Neeson was back to work on his new movie the week after Natasha Richardson died and no one says anything about him not truly missing her.In all honesty we as AI fans should be rooting for both Adam and Danny because either way the win goes one of them will be The new American Idol and the other one will be the runner-up.

I expect Adam Lambert to be the cover story on Rolling Stone and if American Idol rips this guy off from being the next AI I’ll be really disappointed and I probably won’t watch AI again. Just listen to his Itunes of Feeling Good folks. Those pipes of his are amazing. I can’t stop singing his version of that song. I’ve been singing his songs week after week and rewatching my TVO and youtuve videos for my escapism to all this recession. I’m a 42 year old female paramedic who works fire stations and in house ER trauma bays. All the guys in the Fire Station listen to Adam Lambert. NOT Danny G or Kris Allen and we all may say Allison can hit notes but who can really understand her? Try to listen to her sing you can’t always understand her words so either she didn’t remember the words or she isn’t articulating well enough. Adam Lambert is a SUPER STAR, on musicals, on TV, he should be in MOVIES! He should be selling jewlery, clothing, shoes, hair color, nail polish, etc. He will sell out on music because his music videos will be fantastic to watch. I can’t wait for a Adam Lambert concert because I’m there! This guy is the real deal! Every artist on AI except for super concervative Randy Travis has said it. All of the judges have said it. I am embarrassed to say I have never in 8 seasons ever picked up a phone to vote for anyone. But I am so ANGRY as to Adam Lambert being in the bottom 3 I am going to host a dialing party on Tuesday at my house and I will personally dial for 2 hours straight to ensure he doesn’t get voted on the bottom 3 again. Furthermore none of the guys in the Fire Station have a problem with Adam’s Life Style and some of our own Fire Fighters who are the most manly men I have ever met are gay and two are BI so who cares what his preference is? Adam Lamber is the most creative artist American Idol has ever had in 8 freaking years and for RYAN SECREST to have put him in such an awkward situation to have to choose which side he needed to go to was just PLAIN WRONG. THOSE KINDS OF GAMES ARE NOT COOL! Adam saying he loved all of them was graceful. Him having the guts to keep looking left and right showed he actually didn’t know initially what side to choose and then I loved that he made a committment and said “probably that side”. Very uncool for Ryan Seacrest to have him go stand there and then walk over to him and man handle him over to the other side. Ryan Seacrest just lost me as a listener and I control the radio station at the Fire Station! Yes if you couldn’t tell I am really fired up about this. With the cops we work with having their job security on the line and our fellow nurses being cut on hours at the hospital my escape has been AI just so I can watch Adam Lambert. He’s been keepin me and the guys at the Fire Station going for weeks. He is the topic of discussion daily as all of us have been tracking any news and articles on him is gossip magazines. We’ve watched all of the videos on him on Youtube. We even jokingly have tried dancing his crazy video as part of our daily work out. You don’t see any of us doing Danny Gokey or Kris Allen. I’m sure they are nice guys but they are boring and they don’t keep you awake or alert for a 24 hour shift.

Save Adam Lambert! Save the night shift!

Danny’s Wife – vote for my husband or I will haunt you.
maybe you should just stop repeating yourself and go and get reincarnated instead.

Danny you should stand up against ministers telling congregations not to vote for Adam because he is either “gay” or “Jewish”, based on rumor.
I’m a Christian, but I cannot believe this type of thing is happening in American churches.
Quote
My pastor told our congregation a few weeks ago that it was important to pay attention to things like role models for children and said that Danny Gokey would be a a better role model than someone with a deviant lifestyle like Adam.
We’re all voting for Danny because we want to see a devout Christian win American Idol.
Unquote

IMO – God loves everyone irregardless. Who are we mortals to judge on earth. We should be helping, instead of segregating these people. I pray to God for salvation for Adam instead.

For anyone who thinks the votes are manipulated, please, go do some research into the quiz show “21.” There is no way that AI is going to risk the legal and popular backlash of manipulating a show based on phone voting. There are 5 people, now 4 left, being in the bottom 3 is pretty good odds-wise, no matter who you are.

Adam Lambert made a logical mistake last night while choosing the group!

Here is why!
Ryan separated the contestants into two groups. The educated guess would be that one group had the top vote getters and the other group had the least vote getters. If Adam thought that Danny and Allison’s group (based on Tuesday Night’s performance) sang well and were safe, then he could NOT have been a part of that group because that would leave the Bottom three incomplete as it would only have two contestants, Matt and Kris. So if Adam indeed thought that Danny and Allison were safe then, he was the only one left out to complete the bottom three which means he should’ve chosen to stand with Matt and Kris.

All that being said, Adam to me is The Winner of the contest! I hope that at least this week Lambert fans who got complacent that he was gonna bag the title without their votes, realize their mistakes, get off their backsides, and vote for him. He is the real deal!

Adam fans wake up – there is a concerted campaign by right-wingers and evangelical Christians to vote Adam off. Evangelical Ministers are telling church-goers to vote against him because he’s a “bad role model.” They were told to vote for Danny Gokey.

That right-wing Bill O’Reilly was talking about it on his tv show. Mark my words – Adam will get voted off and Danny is going to win this thing unless people start voting in larger numbers for Adam.

What was That all about lust night???? Do AI really think that we beleive Adam was in Bottomm 2 ???? What a JOKE!!! WE Love you ADAM!!!! Rayan Seacrest owe an APPOLOGY TO ADAM!!!!!!!!! I LOST ANY RESPECT FOR RAYAN SEACREST!!!!! NO WAY HE SHOULD TREATED ADAM LIKE THAT!!! WHAT A SCANK!!!!!

I am from Milwaukee, and I am proud to say I DON’T vote for Danny! I vote for ADAM! Tha’s a shame, what happened yesterday to Adam, but he dealt with the situation with such a grace! That just gives us one more of the HUGE pile for reasons to be proud of him and adore this truly unique, talented artist!

okay, i have got to join in on the comments…i ignored adam until he sang ring of fire…fabulous! He is just too good to be ignored. What a performance. And then mad world sealed the deal. He is not only the best performer ever on AI, he is real STAR, the likes of which we have not seen in a long time. Don’t worry if he wins or not. He already has. It is just a pity he has to waste his time for a year doing a tour for AI. This guy is not Broadway, not Los Vegas, not Rock and Roll…this guy can and will do it all. Personally, I hope he sings that Hebrew “gospel” that’s on UTube in the last competition. There ain’t nothing he can’t do. Don’t cry for him argentina…he will be singing to sold out concerts for the next 40 years.

Sam David – I believe Ryan was asking Adam to join the group that he thought was in the bottom this week and thus round up the bottom 3.
Adam and Kris are roommates and support and respect each other, so I am not surprised he chose the other group. Besides, I thought that Kris did better than Danny on Tuesday and was shocked myself that both Adam and Kris were in the bottom. Birthday presents for Danny and Alison perhaps? I will be voting for Adam the whole time next week!!

Adam is the whole package and if he doesn’t win AI its all a joke. He shouldn’t even be compared to/competing against these others. He is to good for them. Adam fans Vote as much as you can next week. GO ADAM!

Shame on you American Idol big wigs! This “ratings stunt” got just what you wanted today. Controversy. Adam did not deserve that. Adam is far better than any other on the show.

Shocked – I would’ve assumed that too if not for Matt Giraud. There is no way on earth he was gonna be safe. I guess Jamie Foxx’s advise to change the key did not work. Because he seemed to sound better in the video clip with Jamie.

Calling all Adam lovers: The best way to vote is by texting. They always go thru, no busy signals. So text and text and text for 2 hours. It has to be done. They will send you back a confirmation for the first one only. But they all count.
Please text vote!

Anonymous, I heard this from someone in an American church too. They were told to vote for DANNY.

Why are they bringing religion in? What good examples are those pastors setting? Their jobs should be to save, and not to destroy.

For all you know, God might be using Adam’s angelic voice for his works. So they should have the grace to save him and not to segregate.

They do this every year. They pick the favorite and put them in the bottom 3. There is NO WAY that Adam was in the bottom 2, it is totally fixed for ratings.

I love Adam I think he is the best AI ever and I am a 62 old lady and if I was a 100 I would still love him I been telling everyone about him.

I am a 68 year old granny, and I freaked out last night when Adam was in the bottom two….I have downloaded every one of his tunes… I vote at least 10 times each week until it is two busy, and I fall asleep….Adam is a talent beyond all talents….. He is the most creative artist that I have ever heard….

What I found interesting is the format was completely off last night.
1. No one asked the judges what they thought.
2. Simon had indicators that he was not telling the truth as he saw it.
3. Ryan was uncomfortable, and because of that was acting out, just like a 2 year old who has to do something he does not want to do.
My conclusion is that last night was rigged in how the numbers were presented. Even if, as some have said, votes from voted off contestants were being sent to other contestants there is no way that would have put Adam in the bottom two. All polls on the net have given Adam anywhere from 50 to 65 percent of the votes, as of this week.

I am an old rocker, where my generation invented the music. I have seen Elvis, Mick, Freddie and I can tell you Adam is in that group of great musicians. I have casually watched AI over the years, but without any great enthusiasm and certainly never voted, as it seemed to be the usual tweens type singer. (Well with the exception of Fantasia, who has been mishandled). This time I cannot wait until the next showing, except I record it and watch Adam repeatedly.

How many votes/viewers is how the show earns advertising money. Don’t you just bet that next week the votes will be outrageous? This last week is the first time I have ever voted and I don’t assume that I am a trendsetter for my age group and this next week I will vote until I can vote no more. Just in case.

How often does someone of this talent come along? I do believe Adam is channeling ELVIS!

Adam was treated very rudely last night. It was obviously scripted for ratings, I would love to see the real numbers. I am very afraid of what this is turning into. Do not let it happen. Adam deserves to win. GET OFF YOUR BACKSIDES AND VOTE VOTE VOTE

I like Adam as do all of you but I thought he did a terrible job this week and I did not vote for him. Nor did the rest of the people that normaly do. He’s not the cat’s meow!!

Agreed, Caryn. I keep wondering when Adam’s going to get his Zeppelin on! How about “Immigrant Song”? He’d scream the hell out of that “aaaaaaaaaaaaaah” bridge.

Vote for my douchebag former husband, or i will haunt you for eternity

Adam is the whole package. He oozes star personality. The others are good but Adam outshines them all. I couldn’t believe he was in the bottom two. I’m going to make sure vote next time. Way to go Adam I see a bright future ahead of you!

all i can say is,

for those adam haters,
shut up. can u sing even a note?
if u can, why dun u join idol and let us critisize abt u? d!ckhead =.=!

well another possibility is that idol producers deliberately make adam appearing in bottom 2. so many fans like us, would be shocked. and we would vote even more next week.
more votes = more income for those greedy bastards.
yes? no? ^^

everyone has their own view.

if u dun like adam, jus shut up unless u’re someone who can sing better than him. or in ur own words “scream” better than him.

We need to vote!! Don’t think that Adam is going to win because we all think he should…WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR HIM!!! I got lazy and figured he’d be a shoe in for the top spot and I won’t be lazy again, I will: VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!! Adam seems to be a gracious person who happens to have a God given talent. I wish him and all of the finalists a happy, bright future!! These young people have shown amazing character and we should be proud of them all!! But my vote goes to Adam!!

i felt sick last night at the way adam was treated…..and it makes no sense that he was in the bottom this week. none. it was a ratings ploy, and very mean to adam. adam handled this in his usual humble way, but i hated seeing him disrespected like that…..he’s got the most amazing voice, a.i. should be thrilled that adam auditioned this year-he is making them tons of money and will continue to do so.

i feel an undercurrent of sadness from him, maybe it has something to do with being made fun of his whole life (interview on a.i. site)…..i wish him all the best, and i will vote this week. i am 60 but still rockin’ and i know genius when i hear it. love you adam! you ROCK!!!

I am yet another married 45 yr old mother who absolutely adores Adam! He is unbelievable, charming, and oozes with sex appeal. In addition, you might be surprised that I am also stoutly Republican and one of those conservatives…Guess what? I LOVE ADAM!!!!! I am affected by this wonderfully talented guy in a way that no other artist has done. My 15 yo son and I cannot wait for AI on Tuesdays like so many others–the highlight of my day. I do agree STRONGLY that the treatment that he received last night was unfair, had no class and offended many. He simply did not deserve that. He is the ultimate gentleman and responded with grace and class. We will be so saddened if he were to leave the show, but again, we look forward to his many accomplishments in his career, no matter what the results of the show. He has such a bright future and AI will may or may not be a part of that. It would be their loss for sure. I wish him the best and and cannot wait to buy every CD, every concert in my area, and our tickets for the tour! I have never gone to a tour show before, but have decided that it is a must to see Adam. We love him and appreciate what he brought to our lives! Go ADAM!!!!!!!!

I don’t follow the blogs too close but was curious to see what people were saying about last night’s episode. Very curious!
I agree…this week needs to be the week that Adam pulls out some Zeppelin…I’ve been waiting for it since I first heard him sing!

I am a 66 year old woman who has been watching AI since the beginning. I must say I became hooked on Adam from the start and feel like a giddy teenager. He has the “IT” factor that Simon always talks about and is so talented. I hope the homophobics are not spoiling his chances. I agree that something strange happened last night and thought it was fixed and he was not so low as they say he was.
I agree with the other bloggers it was shameful the way Seacrest treated him although I am sure the producers told him to do it that way. Adam has never been fresh to the judges, always listened politely and again did not deserve that treatment.
Go Adam, I will be calling in many times next week. Even if you do not make it to the end, you will be around for a long, long, time. I could see you in a Vegas show and definately having your own show. I will be buying your CD’s and get tickets for the AI tour when it comes to New York. All my best wishes to to you and your family. They must be very proud of you.

Adam is a bigger than life performer. He really puts on a show and I thought he was great but I’m tiring of his screaming theatrics. I think the stair case entrance and screaming finish were too over the top for a lot of people. My husband and I disagree on Adam now where before we both thought he was a shoo in. As for the warnings about the “religious right” influencing votes. For pete’s sake … give people more credit than that. People will vote or not vote based on many reasons. I’m Christian but I didn’t even know about the so-called campaign until someone blabbed about it on here. I vote for Danny because I like his vocals overall not because someone tells me I “should.”

1. Adam is the superstar.
2. Saying that the vote is fixed for Danny because pastors are telling their evangelical congregations to vote for him is ridiculous.
3. American Idol showed a shameful lack of respect for the group with the stunt they pulled last night.
4. Jamie Foxx was right-on — this is a group of artists.

Adam has said in a number of interviews that if he could sing any song on Idol it would be Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” I already have chills just thinking about what his version will sound like! Rock on Adam!

I’m 52 and my daughter is 13. We are both crazy about Adam. Contrary to what some of the right-wing evangelical haters think, Adam is a wonderful role model. He is gracious, kind and just an all around nice guy. We love you Adam. Can’t wait for your solo tour and CD. We are committed fans. You are a very rare talent. Thank you for entertaining us.

come in
i think that adam lambert sings as if he were in the theater, i don´t like, he has no feeling to transmit, and he is kind of strange as you can see when they were making the cake, adam was not there, it makes me think that he is strange, the rest of the finalist was throwing flour and playing but him was not there.

I was a fan in the begining but now I change my mind because, I hear danny gokey he really surprise me, I don´t know is like if he transmites to much love if like his songs come in throught my soul and heart

Next week is rock and roll. Adam needs to go out and put on an impeccable first class performance. He needs to come up trumps just like he did for Michael Jackson week. That way, people will be reaching for that phone before he has even finished his song. Come on boy, we are all rooting for you. Don’t let someone else take your crown!

I never heard Ryan say Adam was in the final two. All he refered to was the bottom three. If that is the case Adam could have been in the top three due to the facts stated before that people aren’t voting because they think he’s a shoe in to win. Anyway it was awful the way he was treated last night and he continues to be my favorite.

Adam is AMAZING! The others are very good as well, but not at his level. If he was scarred, or shocked in the least…can’t wait to see what he does next week!!! I’m 50 and love to hear him sing.
Led Zepplin, David Bowie, Queen, Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi, the list goes on as far as what the guy could sing. Boils down to “song choice” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am yet another married 45 yr old mother who absolutely adores Adam! He is unbelievable, charming, and oozes with sex appeal. In addition, you might be surprised that I am also stoutly Republican and one of those conservatives…Guess what? I LOVE ADAM!!!!!

Adam’s studio recording of Feeling Good is amazing, I just bought it on iTunes. I think it is the best studio version of all his performances to date, may be only rivaled by Mad World. Love you Adam, with or without a win you are destined for stardom!

Sorry auntie-em but there is a large campaign out there to vote against Adam.

The large evangelical churches are the same churches that got George W. Bush elected. They brought busloads of people to polling places. These people will do whatever their pastors tell them to do. If you don’t beleive it – there are hundreds or articles out there about it.

These comments prove a huge point, Adam is marketable. You love him or hate him but you TALK and THINK about him.

As for the political & religion comments PLEASE; I am a 40-something, white, Christian, Conservative, Grandma and I LOVE ADAM.

My LORD doesn’t tell me to hate anyone, HE tells me not to judge anyone lest I be judged.

Adam can out and out sing and perform and he touches us.
Most of those who try to compare Adam to the other contestants use the “sexual preference” or “screaming” excuse for not liking him. Hey if you are not a fan it’s because he doesn’t sing your style of music…Just say it.

Sexual preference has never had anything to do with talent; and the screaming issue, please you don’t know music if you think he is screaming at all. Both comments just show complete ignorance!

LOVE YOU ADAM & this is the only time I have ever voted for any contestant even though I have watched AI since the beginning.
VOTE for ADAM!!!

Adam is the best contestant they’ve ever had but he’s mortal like everyone else. If you want him to win you have to vote for him. Votes don’t grow on trees and you can’t take anything for granted.

Hopefully his fans got a dose of reality and will pick up the phone because I won’t even be interested in watching the show anymore if he isn’t on it.

Why Adam Lambert will not win, and understanding the AI audience:

1. Everytime someone else get’s voted off, that hurts Adam’s chances even more to win. Here is why. Noop and Lil Rounds went out and their fans will convert to Allison, Danny or Chris. Why ? Because their styles are more similar to each other than Adam. Adam is the only unique one and so every time someone who is not Adam gets voted off they converge to the nearest replica, someone who sounds like whoever got voted out…which means Adam will be out !

2. People do not vote for the best singer, they vote for the singer they LIKE best. This is just the way it is. It is not fair, it is not based on talent, that is the nature of how people vote.

3. The phone lines simply do not consistently work. Several websites talked about people trying to vote for Adam or others and not being able to get through.

4. The Gay/Not Gay factor. Several media sites talked about church groups as well as Country Western fan bases and “conservative” listeners not liking the idea of the “role model” Adam might be. Because of this, several groups have told their members to vote multiple times trying to skew the voting process and blackball Adam.

5. We fear that which is different. The other singers fit into the mold. America likes the mold.

This is why Adam won’t win. My personal assessment though is..Adam clearly is the best technical singer (range /tone/pitch), performer, entertainer and potential star of the group.

The Legend..former musician and recording artist

Adam Lambert’s performances (so far):

“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” – HORRIBLE!

“Black or White” – HORRIBLE!

“Ring Of Fire” – HORRIBLE!

“Tracks Of My Tears” – BEAUTIFUL

“Play That Funky Music” – AVERAGE

“Born To Be Wild” – HORRIBLE!

“Mad World” – BEAUTIFUL

“If I Can’t Have You” – BEAUTIFUL

“Feeling Good” – AVERAGE

Four horrible performances.
Three amazing performances.
and two average so-so performances.

I am a 50 yr. old Mom, who is a coach and teacher. I have never really been into music or American Idol. I started watching it this year. Adam stood out when I was watching the auditions and I have been a fan ever since. I look forward to seeing Adam perform every week. I can’t wait to see what he is going to deliver next. He overwhelms me every week. Sometimes I get on the computer at work just to watch his performance again and it energizes me and puts me in a happy mood. His stage presence and vocals are mesmorizing. He is obviously brilliant and has so much class and talent. His vocals and diction are so clear. I like the fact that he is different and I like the way he deals with it. He is at the age where he can handle stardom in a positive way. I don’t think there is anything to worry about, there. He is so refreshing!! He seems very content with who he is and what he wants to do with his life. I think that is a huge plus for anyone, especially someone his age. My husband who likes to sing and who is a huge critic of different singers( some of who he can’t believe ever got a recording contract)watches AI with me and after Adam’s performance each week, is just amazed by his vocals. He always says, ” Man, that guy can sing!”. He says the others are good, but they don’t hold a candle to that guy. (Adam). I will be voting only for Adam and no longer will vote to help others from getting eliminated. It is time to vote for just my favorite and that is ADAM LAMBERT.

this is who adam lambert rips off: Axl Rose; Ian Gillan (Deep Purple)
and whoever sings for Muse. sorry for those of you think he’s “original”

Voting frenzy next week folks!!

ADAM Fans unite and VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

The man will win. Lambert parties everywhere, just puts a spark under those who did not get to vote much Tuesday night!

Rock & Roll night will be interesting! Adam channels old & contemperary artists every week. Never a dull moment with this kid. GO ADAM! You started something.

Can’t we actually vote for longer than 2 hours? The show airs 8 PM EST. I’m on Pacific Time, so it comes on 3 hours later for me. So it seems I can vote as soon as it comes on Eastern Time as I can watch it on my computer, and keep voting all the way through when it’s on PST. And the East Coasters can do the same.

ADAM WE GOT YOUR BACK ALL THE WAY TO THE END WHEN CONFETTI WILL BE FALLING ALL AROUND YOU!!!!

For me, Adam is a role model in the sense that he strives himself to perfection. Right wing talked about morality. But this I say to you, let those with no sins cast the first stone. Adam is first and foremost a human being. He is God’s creation who uses God’s gift to him to the fullest.

I am a Christian who belongs to a large evangelical church and I can tell you that American Idol isn’t even on our pastor’s radar screen.

What makes you think that Christians can’t think for themselves?

ADAM THIS WON’T EVER HAPPEN TO YOU AGAIN.

WE WILL ALL VOTE OUR FINGERS OFF FOR YOU!!!!

Caryn, you have no taste in music. Taylor Hicks was excellent last night. Record sales soared today. Obviously others thought he was good because they’re buying his cd today.

Adam has made me so hooked on AI. If he was not on that show I would not watch it, he is the only reason I tune in every week. ADAM you are amazing!I love you!

Adam has made me so hooked on AI. If he was not on that show I would not watch it, he is the only reason I tune in every week. ADAM you are amazing!I love you!

Adam is the most downloaded on iTunes (6 out AI’s top 10 songs), has the most views on Youtube (millions) and every poll I ever saw online had him as people’s favorite by at least 50% of total votes, the rest being split b/w all other contestants. The poll on Newsday today has him as the favorite at 77% of the votes (2200 and counting). Don’t believe he was bottom anything last night, I heard a rumor that he got around 22 million of the total vote this week. But still, fans should vote for him until he wins, no one is safe at this point. I was splitting my vote between him and Alison but I can’t afford to do that any more, he is way better than them all.

adams garbage he gets worse and worse each week its only a matter of time before he goes home.

This is a lesson — Adam’s fans need to vote! We cannot be lulled into a false sense of security by the judges’ comments. Please vote next week!

No one seems to mention that Adam was the one who did not sing and old fashioned Ballad last week. That could have hurt him. Instead, he sang a broadway type show tune which lacked the sentimental value the others had. To my way of thinking, it was a bad choice for him on the same week that others sang those old ballads which have become real standards, particularly for jazz fans! There is a time to do something different than the rest but for me, last week wasn’t the right time for him to depart from those great old fashioned ballads.

OMG! THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE! VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR ADAM

Adam is so overrated.

i

Well, AI, you’ve made people angry and physically ill. Ain’tcha proud??? Yea, that’s what we want in these trying times when we need to escape with an Entertainment show!!!! The Treatment of Adam was despicable – and I felt so bad for Allison – she looks up to him like a big brother. I’m glad she has Adam and Kris to watch out for her (sorry, just not a fan of Danny-although, unlike many non-Adam fans, I have nothing negative to say about him).) Adam, with true grace, will get thru this disgusting experience!

And here’s ADAM – Singer, Dancer, Song Writer, Actor, Performer.
And ryan – you are……………………… ….?

Paula needs to stop telling Danny and Adam “see you in the finals.” It was the kiss of death for Chris Daughtry. He was voted off that week. I haven’t picked up the phone to vote this season — but I will vote Adam and only Adam on Tuesday. I believe Adam’s votes were sacrificed to keep Allison on the show. These kids are all so talented, but Adam is in a league of his own. I’m another fan who would not watch the show again (until the finale when they bring Adam back). This will be a wake-up call to those who split their votes, thinking Adam would be safe. And maybe it will prompt those of us enjoying the show but not voting to start picking up the phone and pushing those buttons and making those votes count. And with next week’s theme … I don’t think there is any way Adam can be in the bottom 2.

What show were you watching last night?

Taylor Hicks RIPPED the stage last night and put his permanent imprint on that stage – forever. It was a show-stopping awesome performance. Loved every freakin’ note of it.

allisonwillwin,

thanks. i guess i’ll stop splitting votes with adam and allison, now. good luck adam. we support you!

Adam is the best singer they have.

I will be voting like crazy next week!

Maybe not all evangelical churches and/or members – but there are a lot of them who do.

They have been instrumental in several things – namely getting Bush elected and getting that anti-gay marriage bill passed.

To be fair – the Mormon church also helped. The Catholic Church has also been active in anti-abortion campaigns.

STANDING OVATION FROM ALL 4 JUDGES – INCLUDING SIMON COWELL!

Congrats Taylor Hicks on showing America again why you commanded and won Season 5 with conviction! What an awesome talent!

Keep on doing what you do, dude!

there are 7800 seconds in the 2 hours we have for voting. it takes me 8 seconds to dial, listen, hang up, redial, so I can get in 800 votes in 2 hours on ONE phone. THIS is what Adam’s fans need to be doing. I understand texting is even faster, but I think you have to be on AT&T to text (totally not sure about this last statement!)

so – not 10 votes or 20 – shoot for 500 or 1000. then add a second phone!

I’m in my 50’s and also love Adam ! I said last night that I wouldn’t watch AI anymore this season if he was voted off ! Adam has amazing talent and charisma and performance skills. I don’t think we’ve seen so much talent on AI previously. His Feelin Good studio recording is AMAZING !!!! Better than the live version. There is NO Way that he should be in the bottom 2… come on ! I can’t vote from Canada, so I hope all of you Adam fans vote like crazy for the next 3 weeks PLEASE !!!

if I could do math – it would help -
make that 7200 seconds / 8 = 900 votes, if I have my math right this time.

I am a Canadian. Last night’s result was the biggest disappointment I have ever felt with AI. I couldn’t sleep well ‘cuz Adam ended in the bottom 2. How SAD!!! I’m extremely SAD!!! HOW HOW HOW??? Everyone I know that watches AI loves Adam so much. He’s the best AI contestant ever and he ended up in the bottom 2??? Adam Lambert is the only reason that I watch AI right now. Oh gosh, I’m so sad and disappointed! I don’t understand!

Noooooooooo. Not Zeppelin! I’ve been waiting all these weeks to hear Adam channel Axl Rose. Now that Slash is the mentor I’m crossing my fingers for him to sing “Sweet Child.” Nothing else will do. As for all the theories about why he was in the bottom two, come on, people. Different strokes for different folks. I’ve been voting for Matt. It wasn’t an anti-Adam or anti-gay vote. I just liked Matt. Frankly, much as I enjoy Adam’s vocals, I’d rather see someone with less professional experience win this “amateur” contest. But Adam will wind up with the career of his dreams regardless–and isn’t that what it’s all about?

Hey ALLISONWILLWIN….your moniker is as ridiculous as your sense of what is and isn’t entertaining. You really don’t know CRAP Dear. ADAM is the most talented contestant in the history of IDOL, and lasts night’s results were FIXXED by the producers to create a little drama…if you had half a brian instead of the 1/8th of one you display, you’d have figured that out on your own.

I love how he has so many fans overseas. I think only Kelly has done really well overseas and I think Adam might follow in her footsteps. Can you imagine his videos–the guy is so lucious. He is so freakin gorgeous and with that voice he is going to be so successful.

I am disturbed about people thinking they are voting well if they get 50 votes in – c’mon Adam fans- 500 minimum- and 700 if you are an overachiever like me.

I’m 72 and I picked Adam to win the first time I saw/heard him. And he WILL win!

I was very pleased! Can’t stand Adam. Yes, he’s a good singer, but he’s so cliché it’s not even funny. It was great to see him get knocked down a few notches. There’s a little thing called humility that the other 3 have, that goes a long way.

Been a fan of Adam’s since Day 1, but felt strongly that he should have dialed back hard on his upper register this week. Of course, he didn’t. CAN he? I am officially bored with Adam’s constant wailing … it didn’t belong in his cover of “Mad Wrold”, either, and spoiled what was for me an otherwise flawless performance.
If that’s the only trick the kid has got in his bag, he doesn’t deserve to win. If he can show us that he can tailor his voice to respect the music, then he has my full support.
Should be an interesting show next week; with a theme that broad, everyone should be able to find SOMETHING they can ace. And yeah, I guess for Adam that will mean Zep, or G’n'R, or Rush…

I want to hear ADAM SING A SONG FROM ONE OF HIS ROCK IDOLS. DAVID BOWIE. NOW I THINK THAT WOULD ROCK.AND ALSO DRESS THE PART:)ADAM IS GORGEOUS WHEN HE IS IN DRAG:)

ALL THIS TALK ABOUT ADAM HAVING AN EGO OR BEING ARROGANT IT IS NONSENSE HE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TALENTED, THANKFUL,AND GRACIOUS. THRU THIS WHOLE PROCESS. HE ALWAYS THANKS EVERYONE.HE IS VERY KINDHEARTED.HIS FAMILY RAISED HIM TO BE THAT WAY.

Why do some people think Adam Lambert is too professional for this competition? It’s Allison who has won a singing competition already and gotten a contract, not Adam. And why say Adam’s only singing old songs? He has a song he wrote with Madonna’s guitarist (Crawl thru Fire). And why bring religion into the picture? Do you think Danny is only going to be singing in church if he wins the competition? And why say Adam wasn’t in the cake bake scene? There was a full scene of his pouring in the cake batter into a pan, for God’s sake. “Judge not, lest ye be judged”, like Adam. All the Idols are very nice and very talented. I just happen to prefer Adam.

I too have been mesmerized by Adam Lamberts performance’s. He is the most intertaining contestant ever on AI. He has caused the same stir that Elvis did when he first started, I know because I was a teen the the fifties.I was just fourteen in 1958, and all of the teens, especially the girls were in a trance. Why? This is why. Elvis was pure talent. He was original, he was the best looking man any of us had ever seen. His moves were so sexy, his voice was on key, his mannor was shy, but confident, he always intertained us. I have been to about ten Elvis concerts, and the excitement leading up to going was always such a thrill. When you got there and it started you could not hardly get your breath. You pulse quickened, your heart raced, that is why so many of the girls fainted. He offered us something new, exciting, original, he was so handsome. We wanted something to look forward to, he was ours. Elvis was in a class all of his own, their was no one that could even come close. Adam Lambert is the only one since Elvis that has caused this kind of excitment. That is why all the women of this age group, as well as all the others, are so thrilled and excited and loyal to Adam. He has the total package to be the next great singer, performer. He can do anyting he wants. He does not even have to win American Idol. He has been seen by billions of people and already has a huge fan base.
Now about what happend last night. I too was appauled at what happened. I think Secrest is nothing but a paid MC. He does mostly what he is told to do to keep his job. I think Simon and the rest of the decision makers plan every show. Now I too have noticed the Judges praising the other contestants, which made me feel good. You want the viewers to watch and not feel like they already knew who was going to be the next American Idol. This would not be fair to praise Adam all the time and not them. I think everyone knew from the very first time Adam performed who the next American Idol would be.
Now was the votes tampered with? I say it is possible. How many times have we been shocked in the last year or two? Could it happen? Well of coarse, it is all about money, it seems that when money is involved, all since of fairness seems to go out the window. I don’t like to feel this was about the show. But think back, who was the best between Akins and Studdard? Who was the best year before last? Taylor Hicks? He or his fans started a campain for votes for him. He was not the best choice. Clay has done so much better than Studdard. On American Idol you have to vote,but I have talked to alot of people that said they could not get through. I had some trouble in the first thirty minutes and some for two hours, but kept trying. Some people will stop trying if they cannot get through. I have had this happen in the past, but not this year, I remembers the past seasons and what could happen and was loyal with my voting for two straight hours. I think it would be easy to put up a busy signal when we all were trying to vote for Adam. I will never rule this out. I too thought all the judges were acting strange. I would not have blamed Adam if he had just walked off the stage when Seacrest was pulling him around like a kid or a dog. That was uncalled for. I think that whole thing was staged and they should lose all their loyal AI watchers after that kind of behavior. Look for Paula to sound off, unless she too is cowing down to the AI producers. They did not say one word in Adams defense about the way he was being treated. Why was this happening????
Money friends, some pay off for not letting Adam reach the top where he will be with or without American Idol. You cannot stop greatness, if it is meant to be it will be and you cannot stop it. If it is not meant to be, if the talent is not there you cannot make it happen. Like the were saying during the election, ” You can put lipstick on a pig, but you still have a pig. The producers of AI must think we are all stupid. Yes I felt sorry for the rest of the contestants. The year they make it to have that kind of talent to beat. Well that is the way it is. There will always people better than you and worse than you. But they have a chance to keep going. AI is not the begining and end to their quest. Just keep going. Adam has earned this, it is his time. Now as far as him being Gay, I don’t care. I worked in the beauty field with men who were gay. Most of them were gentlemen. They were true friends and women loved them. Most of them were borned with this sexual preference. I cannot judge them, and I will not. The Bible says judge not that yea might be judged. I do not judge Adam. I have looked around and seen and heard all the Gay gossip, or if it is true I don’t care. You have to vote on the talent. He has the most talent, in fact he is like Elvis in the aspect that he makes people excited to watch him and watch AI again after the some of the worst ratings in past years. American Idol should stand by him and all the wonderful things they have all said about him. Why did this change last night????? Something was not right. Everyone knew it. Even the Judges and the other contestants knew something was wrong. They knew he should be saved first like all the other weeks. What happened. I think if this happens next week we need to call AI out it. Boycott the show. If Adam does not get the votes next week it will be obvious what is happened, because I have told all of Adams fans I know, and I have been reading all the comments before mine, VOTE FOR ADAM, SO EVERYONE THAT BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE THE AI WILL BE VOTING FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT AND CAMPAINING FOR HIM. IF THEY VOTES DON’T WORK FOR US IT WILL BE OBVIOUS THEY ARE BEING TAMPERED WITH. ALL THOSE BUSY SOUNDS, SHOULD NOT BE THERE.
ADAM LAMBERT WILL BE KNOW AS THE MOST EXCITING SINGER AND INTERTAINER SINCE ELVIS, AGAIN YOU CANNOT STOP IT.SO IT IS WRITTEN AND SO IT SHALL BE DONE.SO ALL THE MEAN THINGS SAID AND DONE TO ADAM WILL COME BACK TO BITE ALL OF THEM IN THE —.
ADAM I HOPE YOU READ THIS AND KNOW HOW GOOD YOU ARE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND STAND OUT IN THE WORLD AND KEEP BEING YOU. I WILL BE A FAN OF YOURS FOR EVER. I KNOW ONE THING EVERYONE OF THE PROMOTERS ARE WATCHING YOU, AND ARE WILL BE WAITING TO SIGN YOU UP. BE CAREFUL. GET LOTS OF ADVICE BEFORE YOU SIGN WITH ANYONE. HECK START YOUR OWN LABEL.
TO ALL THE ADAM LAMBERT FANS, KEEP PHONING IN AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WEEK. I THINK ADAM WILL BRING DOWN THE HOUSE. YOU CAN WORK TWO PHONES AT ONCE, AND OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.
I LOVE YOU ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Adam deserves to be in the bottom 2 last night (although I cried so bad my parents think I’m going crazy) because Danny and Allison’s performances were honestly better. Adam became too overconfident, thinking he already has the trophy in his bag. This is a very good thing, his placement on the bottom 2! He will get hit on the head and realize that the competition is still on! AND HE ROCKS THE SHOW DURING THE NEXT WEEKS.

And for the audience… VOTE FOR HIM!!!!!!!!! Man, it’s so crazy hearing those church-votes-for-gokey-etc-because-adam-is-gay rumors. MAAAAAN, IT’S THE TALENT WE’RE LOOKING FOR!

OHMYFREAKINHELL. I’ve seen comments from other sites and most of the people said THEY’RE GONNA VOTE FOR DANNY BECAUSE THE PASTORS TOLD THEM TO! Damn them, it’s the effin’ talent we’re talking about! Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, this is a rip, if ADAM DOES NOT WIN BECAUSE HE IS GAY…!

Ok nobody every said Adam was bottom two – he was in the bottom THREE, thats all we know. So since he didnt go home that makes him in either third or fourth place.

Just because seacrest sent kris back to safety doesnt mean he was the highest out of the bottom three. he just said he was gonna send SOMEONE back to safety(one of the two safe ones).

Bottom 2??!!! NO WAY! Adam Lambert is on a whole different level.”Credibility” is what makes the difference, and these guys from fox, lost SOME OF IT, IF NOT ALL!!! Shame on you Fox!

I love Adam. Knew from the first time I heard him sing that he was going all the way. I couldn’t believe he was in the bottom 2 last night. I used 2 phones to call in, and I got through all but a few times. It makes me wonder what was going on. I start dialing right after the last singer & get through before the show is over. Once over, the busy signal starts, but doesn’t seem to last. In other weeks when this has happened, I tried other contestant numbers with the same results..got through. I don’t get it. I definitly will be doing the 2 phones again next week and I hope it’s busy most of the time! Adam has the talent hands down. He is his own person with an artistic, entertaining flair. He’s unpredictable. That’s a big plus for him. He keeps one guessing as to what he’ll do next. He’s humble and true to himself. Even Simon stated in the TV Guide interview when asked if Adam can be a star: “One hundred percent. He’s somebody who would be selling records all over the world. He’s that good.” And for Danny, simon answered the same question with: “Not so much. He’s more American. He’ll do very well here. But when you do a show like this, you hope you’re going to find somebody so unique, so different, who can represent the show all over the world. And that’s more Adam than Danny. Adam’s in control of what he does, down to the nail polish. Imagine what the competition would look like without him. He’s shaken everything up, this boy.” Enough said. The last 2 standing should be Adam & Danny. If not, there really is something terribly wrong.

VOTE FOR ADAM LAMBERT! I really don’t get those people saying:

1. Adam being arrogant (pshhhhh!)
2. Vote for Gokey because the church pastors say so! (Wth!)
3. Adam’s better on Broadway (you don’t know talent if it hits you in the eyes)
4. Danny’s album may be a greater hit than Adam’s (Damn! Is that even possible? I would bet $100 000 000 000 000 dollars for that.

>love Gokey though
>BUT I love Adam more

Adam did not deserve to be in the bottom 2 the only people to blame are his fans who grew overconfident and didn’t bother to vote, this is what cost Chris Daughtry the title from season 5. VOTE PEOPLE!!!

Being a person that likes many styles of music, I think I know who the BEST singer is. Hands down it’s Adam Lambert. But at this stage of the competition, the remain four people all have amazing talent. It’s possible that people failed to vote for Adam because of reasons outside his talent. They might have felt he’s an obvious winner. They might have felt it’s been so difficult to vote for him because of all the votes he has received in previous shows. Whatever the reason, it goes to show that the person with the most talent can end up in the bottem three.

I’ve correctly selected each contestant to be eliminated. But at this point, any one could be that bottom person. It’s NOT talent at this point, though I wish it were. It’s fan base. I haven’t voted this year but I’M GOING TO VOTE FOR ADAM the rest of the way. This guy is an entertainer who really can sing.

Adam clearly is the best technical singer (range/tone/pitch), performer, entertainer and star in the show. There is now way he was bottom anything last night. He is the most downloaded on iTunes and has millions of views on Youtube.

adam lambert doesnt deserve to be in the bottom 2. He better OWN Rock n roll week .if he gets to be in the bottom 3 again, ADAM LAMBERT FANS WILL START A RIOT.

Adam Lambert is amazing!! He is the reason I keep tuning in to AI each week. He not only has an incredible voice, but he is a talented entertainer! He takes risks and he is true to himself! Adam has my vote every week!!!

Listen to the STUDIO version of Adam’s “Feeling Good”!!!! Freaking incredible and much better than the live.

This guy is the best singer I’ve heard in 10+ years.

Shame on you, Ryan Seacrest! here’s what i think of you: ***&%#@%&/****?!!!! you should totally apologyze! what a lack of class!

Great Minds think alike! Numerous comments here re-iterated my same thoughts at the shock of Adam having to choose what side he belonged with. My first thought too was this must be rigged for sensational purposes so home
viewer stays involved, and to
believe there is a competition. Not to take away from Allison who
is my 2nd or 3rd favorite, next to Kris. She had a sublime performance this week and was deserving of her spot. I thought,
some viewers may have used some votes that would have been used exclusively for Adam, in hope to keep her around a little longer, so she will be paired with Adam in the end. Even Doh!key had a great performance, and I felt for once, he too really was deserving of his spot, at least for this weeks performance. He even said himself when asked if there is anything besides Jamie Foxx mentoring, that helped him to achieve his performance, and he replied there is another he looks to, but won’t name names. We all knew who he meant. He who is HIM, have influenced those in this seasons top to step up their game, and become far better performers than they would have ever envisioned for themselves. Still, I am perplexed how Doh!key has never been in the bottom three with such bland performances in the past. The only thought I came up with was that he must be adept at having enough fans maximizing dialidol, because polls, I-tune downloads, and internet activity certainly don’t indicate such popularity. Even though I would like nothing more than to have Adam to ourselves a little sooner by having him voted off, so he would have the freedom to be the artist we envision, this would be selfish. Adam wants to win!
He gives us what we want every week, so it is our turn to help give him what he wants and needs, and that is our vote over and over. This is where we must look to Doh!key’s tactic of ensuring every vote counts, and downloading dialidol software to help cast
votes. We also need to be pounding away on our cell phones, texting or calling in our vote over and over to ensure Greatness is
rewarded, and not mediocracy.

ryan seacrest…shame on you! what a lack of class!

Ok. I admit it. NOT a huge Idol fan. I usually only watch the opening with all the rejects. Watched Adam, and was BLOWN away!!! He is hands down the most talented person! Are you kidding me? BOTTOM 3?!?! That is ridiculous!

ADAM is #1, and the only reason I watch AI. The first time I heard Adam sing, I was amazed by his voice, and his ability to pull you into his world. He is extremely talented, and should win! Vote for ADAM ..#1,

As far as what happened last night, I think it was all fixed, contraversy is good, and I needed to boost viewership,…Seacrest has

ADAM IS #1, extremely talented, first moment I heard him sing, I was pulled into his world, and he deserves to win!

Last night’s results were fixed to boost viewership, ..Seacrest is a meaningless puppet, NO TALENT,! I love Simon, he makes the show! VOTE FOR ADAM, 1000 times if you have to, please I will not watch show if Adam does not make it next week, NEVER AGAIN…!

i have never watched american idol much before, but this season i havent missed an episode. and that is cause of adam. if he were to get elimanted which he nearly missed last night i would just stop watching. there is no point to ai with out him. ppl r getting to comfortable and just assuming ppl will vote for him, but everyone else is thinking the same thing. hopefully now ppl will realize that he can be elimated and that they need to start voting for him!!! GO ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AI scmayiiii. Who care’s. I’m sure Adam doesn’t care either. Well, maybe he cares and wants to win still but, I don’t know why. everyone knows who he is anyway. He is a star… better than the mornings first cup of coffee. better than the hot fudge on a sundae. Better than a tall cold glass of your fave beer on the hottest day of the summer. better than sex:) Let’s face it folks, hes just BETTER. And Adam, if you’re reading this. That note you sang towards the end of Play That Funky music: went something like..wooooooyeahhhhhhhhh, that’s how I feel about you.

I am not a diehard AI fan nor have I ever been. When it first started I watched but thought it was pretty much a joke. After that I would watch it from time to time and then got disgusted because “musical talent” had so little to do with the success or failure of the contestant. It seems that every year they have people chosen to be on TV because of their looks or because they are so bad people will watch just to see them fall on their face. This is disgusting. Women who are overweight get voted off because of that and not because of their musical ability while others get voted to stay on only because they are “cute.” I have not watched this year’s version from the beginning but only in the last few week, and only because a friend of mine was so high on Adam Lambert. I am a retired music teacher and vocalist so I know something about singing. Most people I hear today are not singers, they are entertainers. They need all the lights and hype that goes on during a performance that makes the kids scream throughout a performance–I would guess that many people have never really LISTENED to the performers they are so much in love with. Anyway, my point is a singer should have a voice that makes you want to listen to him/her…to be quiet and take in all they are doing. Adam Lambert is this kind of voice. He makes me want to listen to him and so does Allison for that matter. Vocally they are by far the best. They have a sound. They have some body behind their voice. I don’t get this from any of the others. They are “okay” but not great. Allison is going to be great. Right now her voice is young but give her 4 or 5 years. Adam Lambert is already there. What a sham that he was in the bottom 3. Unfortunately many of those who vote, vote against someone and not really for anyone. I fear this is the case with what happened to Adam. I feel too many people voted against him for whatever reason, be it his so-called arrogance or his sexuality or his hair style. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about music could never vote him below any of these other finalists. Ameican Idol is a sham and if Adam Lambert does not make the final two at minimum, American Idol should fade into the sunset because it will be proven to be the sham that it is. No wonder it is on the Fox network.

I think adam doesnt have a huge ego he has been good at accepting critcism from day 1 and he hasnt been talking much but he has walking the walk i really think that adam and kris were 1 and 2 respectively, i think this is a ploy to market american idol more so why is there more advertisements when adam was in the bottom two hehehehe great marketing effort by the american idol crew.

I don’t see how it is possible that Adam was in the bottom 3. I think the show messed with the results to make it more dramatic.
If this happens again (which I seriously doubt it will) I will know something is up.

Calling Adam Fans: Do not divide your votes because you’re putting Adam in jeopardy.

VOTE ADAM!VOTE ADAM! He is the BEST SINGER! We’re Canadians who cannot vote. So vote for us.

American idol is not anymore a talent competition. It is about who received the most calls?

I have never wanted to watch AI until I saw Adam Lambert. He is absolutely mesmorizing. I am a 66-year-old woman and wait each week just to hear and see him. I am absolutely appauled by what I saw last night. I cannot stand Ryan Seacrest anymore. I think how he played with Adam’s feeling when he jerked him from one side of the stage to the other was such an ugly gesture on Seacrest’s part. There is no competition. Adam has won hands down and how it was handled last night was truly the worst thing I have ever seen on AI. I too wonder if the producers of the show have rigged this thing. I am absolutely disgusted with what I saw last night and also wondered by Paula, Simon or the other two did not say anything about the absurdity of it all. What is going on? If Adam Lambert does not win AI, I will boycott AI and will never watch the show again. Everyone recognizes true talent, especially older people, and Adam is truly a gifted performer and also very humble in my opinion. Seacrest, I will never be able to watch you again after last night. The puplic knows who the winner is. Even the other contestants know. Adam, hang in there. You have made it with our without AI.

3 words say it all: VOTE FOR ADAM!

3 words say it all: VOTE FOR ADAM!

3 words say it all: VOTE FOR ADAM!

I swear when Adam was in the bottom three and the bottom two I felt like i couldn’t breathe! I was so scared he was going to get eliminated. But even with the elimination he would make a record deal before anyone else. I think that if Adam stays humble the way he is he will go very far!

I could not believe the hocus pocus that they put Adam in last nite. I was truly ill… His voice, range, tone… he hits the notes with no falter. Amazing talent. He deserves to be the next American Idol. It HAD to be a publicity stunt… I cannot believe that the voters didn’t put him on the top of their list

Shame on you AI for wrecking the Feel-Good show of the year! I’ve never watched AI before, will watch Allison and Adam’s performances only but not the results show. I will keep voting for Adam on Tuesdays (assuming he’s still there) and when he’s gone, so am I. I am appalled at the way Ryan treated him – Adam has more talent in one of his painted nails than Ryan will EVER have in his questionable career! I’m MAD that I feel this way about a reality show – I guess I was just raised with fairness and graciousness – Adam’s Best of a long list of stellar qualities – as a virtue and I hate seeing virtues trampled all in the name of ratings!

Pathetic treatment of Adam!!!!!!! Ryan, didn’t your mother teach you ANY manners???? I’ll bet she did her best.

ROCK ON, ADAM!!! You are THE talent of the Decade! You are humble and gracious and the most amazing performer! You DESERVE THE WIN and we who love you will do EVERYTHING we can to bring you home!!!!!!!!!!

omg the moment i saw adam get in the bottom three i was kinda suspecting that they did some sort of change with the score. i mean look at him at his fans theres no way hes in the bottom three. or i think its just some people think others will vote for adam and their vote doesnt really matter.

Compare Adam’s “high notes” to that of a woman screaming in fear and you will find no difference. Adam may have a great vocal range but what does that matter when your voice sounds worse than nails on a chalkboard? If you want to hear a real singer with the total package, just take one listen to Danny Gokey’s version of “come rain or come shine.” Truely amazing.

Every week, I vote for Adam using 2 phones (cell & landline), with 2 hands and for the FULL 2 HOURS! I estimate that I get around 1500 votes in for Adam each time!! This is just from ONE person – can you imagine if EVERY Adam fan does this?? C’mon, everyone!! We CANNOT let him down!!! He is WAY TOO GOOD to EVER be in the bottom again!
VOTE VOTE VOTE your fingers off!

Adam fans,
Don’t forget a vote for ADAM is a vote for ADAM but if you vote for another contestant and ADAM it cancels out ADAM’s vote. A vote for any of the others hurts ADAM.

I have to wonder if Idol Advertisers are threatening to pull ads if they hand the crown to a gay man, fearful of customer back lash. Idol doesnt have to have Adam win to make money off him, which is a shame. Im really starting to question the validity of the voting numbers. I love adam and will never watch idol again if he doesnt win.

one word for adam:
AMAZING

As a former CATV producer and an Adam fan, I was shocked…ready to throw a shoe at the TV.. What happened last night was more than shocking… and, if you think about it, improbable and cruel.

I have read a post in an MTV blog that I thought we all should think about.

…My husband, a research scientist who has dealt with statistics all his working life, said it was so statistically impossible with 45 to 47 million votes for there to be that much of a shift for two of the top performers. He said that if 150 people were voting, things like this could happen. But the larger the group, the less the swing. And nothing happened during the week to make it an upheavel…..I just hope everyone is sitting at their phones next week and voting, voting. Does anyone think AI would be capable of such shenanigans?…

Actually, if I remember my grad school sadistic statistics correctly, the blogger is correct.

I would like to add that I did try to vote for Adam on the – 10 number, and I received a not authorized to use message. When I used the -05 number, I got busy signals for both hours. So, if Adam and Kris voters in mass had clogged the lines, ie: the trunk lines were jammed and calls did not go through, then the Danny and Allison votes that got through easily would be registered, thus forcing the 2 front runners, Adam and Kris, to hit the bottom 3.

Why do I care? I think my interest in Adam heightened after reading scholarly articles about his ability in the LA Times. The article in Idol Tracker on the passaggio on April 27, helped me to understand what Adam was doing and achieving.

I further researched tenor singing high C, E, and F’s …. the Puritani “high F” from credeasi misera and Pavoriti’s Legendary High C ’s in La Fille du regiment. Try it on Google. It will heart your hears… but … WoW! Adam was reaching those same notes only a few talented and practiced tenors can achieve! No other Newspaper or Blog bothered to recognize that his “screaching” was not screaching at all.

Then I think, the mother in me adopted Adam. And so… I am really unhappy with American Idol. I am unhappy that Kara, a song writer, who failed to note to all the world that Adam was more than all the way up there with his falsetto… he was doing something few can do… and explain what that was.

I think it is important that all Adam supporters realize there is something wrong here. I am concerned that the phone lines could clog again if too many people call .. I am concerned that the judges are not thinking before they speak… I am concerned that the only media that has spoken about the passaggio is this newspaper…

What is preventing Randy or anyone from refering to this ability… as in Steve Perry (Journey), Bruse Dickenson ( Iron Maiden) in the Rock world…? I am concerned that the producers may have pulled a stunt not statistically probable… I am concerned that the bookies and odds takers all over the world needed to open the field as betting on Adam would only produce $.80 for every $1.00 bet… What does one do… demand another Drudge Report and protest aka Clay Aiken?

Adam fans…. gather… we need to think of a plan… Your thoughts?

Vote for Adam!! He is so amazing!I want a cd from him right now! I could listen to him over and over. GO ADAM!!I LOVE YOU! I think its so funny that people say he “screams” that is him holding a note..

Adam fans,
Please only vote for Adam; not for the others or a vote for another contestant will just cancel out your ADAM Vote…I voted 250 times Tues and still the lines were busy. I guess if you have idoldial we could vote 10,000 times per 15 min like Danny’s fans do. The church ministers are being judgmental big time.

for any of the others hurts ADAM.

I’m a 50 year old Canadian mom with two teens – we all love Adam and want him to be the next American Idol. We also think he’s an excellent role model too – he’s honest, confident, appreciative, respectful, gracious and doing his best to develop his god given talents and follow his dreams. Yes, he wants to win AI, all the contestants do. I can’t see where anybody gets that he’s arrogant – in fact my impression is of the complete opposite. Nor do I think any of the top five (now four) are arrogant either – they all appear very talented and classy young people. It’s just that we think Adam is in a class of his own. Unfortunately, I think it’s his very uniqueness that makes him more polarizing than the other remaining contestants – you either love him or you hate him. Thus for example he may not pick up a large share of Matt’s votes which will instead go to Danny or Kris who are more like Matt than Adam in music style. So Adam fans, young, middle aged and older, this just means you all have to vote your fingers off in the next few weeks if Adam is going to get the crown he deserves! Use more than one phone – get help if you can. Don’t ever give up when you are trying to get through and vote the full two hours! I so wish I could vote for him here in Canada. Go Adam and go Adam fans!

Everyone who says Adam can’t sing is just embarrasing themselves..clearly he is an amazing singer, why do you think the judges basically praise him everytime he performs? They can’t criticize him because there is NOTHING to criticize!

Adam has me mesmorized after every performance. He is the only reason I watch AI. ADAM YOU ARE AMAZING!! I will be voting as much as i can next week!

It looks like a 3-way contest between Kris Allen, Danny Gokey and Adam–with Adam Lambert far and away the favorite.

I wonder if the show screwed with the vote? It’s amazing that he fell to the bottom three–but how far above the others were his vote numbers?

Why the doubt? Adam Lambert is an astonishing performer.

Lambert rivals Cowell this season as the top draw on the show–partly because he soars miles above the rest of the pack, and partly because we can’t wait to see what he will do next as well.

Lambert surprises not only with his vocals but his fascinating theatrical nods to Sinatra and Elvis in dress and pure performance. He tugs at our hearts and sometimes shocks us with over-the-top pieces–like his hyperactive take on Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild.”

The previous week Lambert sung “If I Can’t Have You,” which propels his now-inevitable rocket to stardom beyond the atmosphere. Amazingly, he brings Harry Nilsson’s soaring pathos (”Without You”) to what we all thought of as a disco song. Nilsson, Schmilsson, this is an incredible performance.

But after Lambert delivered his unique rendition of this dance classic, I realized it had always been misperformed! It never was and never should have been a dance song. It’s a lovelorn cry that always deserved the caliber of Lambert’s performance: intense need, sadness and pain-drenched yet lofty vocals. (Lambert’s range and ability to soar and sustain also remind me of Nilsson’s.)

As Hendrix did with Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower,” Lambert totally redefined this song, totally owning it and reining its true emotion and meaning back in line with the performance.

Adam Lambert is Elvis resurrected, with parts Robert Plant, Bono and Geddy Lee, all spun with his own modern twist. His vocal talents are powered by a calm and unerring intellect. But his instincts that hone each song’s emotional core into a razor cuts to the soul.

My only gripes with Lambert’s performances are these:
1) He sometimes edges into a screech with the high vocals.
2) His over-the-top antics sometimes overshadow the vocals.

Oh, well–nobody’s perfect.

If you think Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry rose to fame quickly after their Idol “practice” sessions, watch Adam Lambert. He’s a sniper bullet compared with freight trains.

Adam dominates every site and poll. Check out for instance the one on Newsday today. He has 73% or 2,000 votes, while the other three each have 200. How is that bottom, AI????????????? Last night was definitely a fix.

If Adam Lambert gets kicked off AI before the final show, he should come on as a guest artist. If he were to release a new single right now, it would be an instant hit. Let him be the first idol to have a #1 song while still an AI contestant!

please vote for adam lambert ! i am from malaysia ! i am a die hard adam fan !! to be honest with you.. i am quite shock yesterday that he is in the bottom 2.. he doesnt deserve to be there ! siggh ! pls help us to some favor ! we do love adam to win the idol =)

VOTE FOR ADAM and Don’t forget

Danny Dopey or Gokey is a joke and simply mediocre compared to Adam . . Let’s not forget that the name of the show is American ‘IDOL’and Adam is pure star material!!

I just don’t understand why America continues to vote for the same boring idol bumpkin each season – If Adam wins, then the bar will finally be raised in favor for both talent and artistry in the music industry that is at present way over saturated by pretty mannequins with monotonous ‘auto tune’ voices

That should have been gokey in the bottom two NOT adam. Gokey does the same crap week after week after week. He spends more time picking out new glasses each week than he does preparing for his performances.

Lynn,
I agree with you 100%. Adam comes across to me as confident but certainly not arrogant. Nor for that matter do I find any of the top five (now four)contestants arrogant – they’re all classy kids. Just don’t get why people have to tear one contestant down to build up their own fav. I think Adam has been nothing but gracious, appreciative and respectful in his AI journey and I see him as an excellent role model for my two teens by the way. He also appears to have a loving and supportive family cheering him on which is just heartwarming to see! Sure he strives for perfection and wants to win – so do all the contestants. The snarls and smirks and such are part of the performance, people, I think he is nothing like that in real life from what I hear from my three siblings in CA, one of whom has friends that know of him from Wicked. I went to see the Rolling Stones for the first time in my life during their last tour – man, what a trip and now Adam is doing that all over for me again. I only wish I could vote for him here – have asked my sibs to do it there. So all you Adam fans need to vote the full two hours, young, middle aged and older if Adam is going to win the AI title he deserves! Vote!Vote!Vote!

My guess is that people didn’t vote for Adam because they thought he was a sure thing and voted to keep someone in that might go home. It happens every year. That is why I am not sure why the “save” from the judges had to be used before top five. What if Adam would have went home over Matt (the mole-head Timberlake) or Kris (the sing out of the side of your face Jim Carey look-alike)? What a nightmare. Adam would sell out a stadium right now without Idol’s contract but it just isn’t right to crown the wrong King.

Adam is fantastic and is by far the most talented performer AI has ever had. If he’s off the show then I will never watch AI again. Seacreast never said he was in the bottom 2, but even so I can’t believe he was in the bottom three.
I thought the way Seacrest yanked him across the stage like a rag doll was inappropriate and it really pissed me off. Adam has been a gentleman and helpful to all of the other contests this entire season. He has been humble when the Judges praise him….he did not deserve such poor treatment last night. It made me really mad!
I’ll be working the 2 phones next week… I will have a break down if he doesn’t make it next week.

Part of why Adam is special:

Besides Adam knowing how to perform and entertain, his great singing ability has to do with the passaggio — his ability to transition from the lower register to that amazing falsetto.

Many of the vocalists we find most stirring can go from their earthy chest voice to the more piercing head voice without stumbling into the weak, constricted zone that often plagues singers as they make the leap. The voice is like a stick-shift car, and the passaggio is the area of shifting, that risky middle place where you’d better be both flexible and yet be in control.

Adam’s natural range is pretty high — he’s a tenor coming in at a time when most rock-oriented singers are baritones, like David Cook or Chris Cornell. But his complete range allows him to go from the soft ballad of “Tracks of my Tears” to the deep low and high thrust of “Born to be Wild”

What’s most amazing about Adam, though, is the way he can linger in between registers without wavering, cracking or producing a “tight” sound. That’s why his version of “Mad World” struck many as his best performance of the season. It existed in that in that space. The way his voice flows gives definition to grace, the way an Olympic skater does when executing an award winning loop.

He also maximizes the use of the orchestra, the stage and lighting.
He is that unique combination of an amazing singer and performer.

I am a 52-year-old grandmother and absolutely love ADAM. My whole family loves him from ages 5 on up to 66. WE LOVE YOU ADAM!!!

I’m appalled by the way they treated Adam like a rag doll on stage. It’s one thing to ask him to choose, but to humiliate him the way they did after he chose a group is just wrong. I can only imagine what his poor mum was thinking from the audience. Nobody wants to see their child treated like that. I hope Adam realizes that we are all shocked and annoyed with Fox on his behalf.

i have been watching idol from day 1 and always get a shock when someone like adam who is a fantastic singer to be in bottom 3 i agree it should be danny {did anyone notice like i did no wedding ring last night}i do hope he finds someone and yes he has to get on with his life i know that so no bagging me please.anyway they shouldn’t have made him which side he should just terrible go go adam

Adam is the idol of idols. His talent and “star” persona exceed that of any contestant who has ever appeared on AI. Regardless of the outcome, his future’s “so bright, he’ll have to wear shades”!!!

Just a comment in passing…. Sticking your tongue way out as Adam does is a vocal technique – it’s the way he reaches those incredibly high notes, not something he uses for visual effect!

Adam is so respectful, always thanking the judges.He is a perfect role model.He is so talented,it’s a joke to have him even on American Idol, with these people. The way they treated him last night was totally uncalled for.It broke my heart seeing him in that position last night. Adam you are truly amazing and I love you.

Although I was distressed to see Adam in the bottom 3, he might actually be better off not winning AI. He’s shown the world what he can do and has a huge fan base. The only reason to have him continue is to watch his stellar performances. Dead Wife Dorkey appeals to the white bread audience, Adam to the sophisticated palate.

I’ve never really taken A.I seriously ….until now. I’m from New Zealand & we’re a week behind. To my displeasure I was SHOCKED to read the news that ADAM LAMBERT WAS IN THE BOTTOM 3?…THEN BOTTOM 2? Is it a possible Ratings stunt to spoon more cash inflow? or were Adam’s fan too confident to vote? One thing’s certain…The Blaming game solves nothing…what lies ahead & what can be done or in this case improved should be be focus of attention. Whether you like Adam or not is besides the point, his monstrous talent is undeniable & is what he should solely be judged on. Ontop of that he has killer looks to match, a very rare package these days. Adam may be the bolt needed (that has been missing for so damn long) to re-electrify the music industry. So please… give credit where it is due & show your appreciation by voting for our Adam. The other contestants are amazing, but there can be only one winner, biased or unbiased, clearly Adam has taken A.I to a whole other level. He is already AN OVERNIGHT INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON & has won masses of fans all over the world. PLEASE FELLOW AMERICAN ALLIES…DO NOT LET THE REST OF US (THE SILENCED ONES) DOWN…PLEASE VOTE ADAM!!!

Reality TV is an oxymoron. Ever wonder how much MONEY is coming in from text voting and air charges? Imagine how sizable AT&T’s “Thank You” cheque to Fox is each week. So how do you drive more votes? Review the votes on hand and come up with new and interesting ways to influence the NEXT vote. No better way than to project to the voting audience that the one they vote 10+ times for a night is somehow mysteriously in the bottom three after never being there, and being the only contestant in 8 years to bring Simon to HIS feet. Fine… I’ll vote 20 times next week. Maybe 30… Wow… that will drive up the ratings… and those advertising revenues!

Personally I think a record producer already has their sights on Adam, and a small briefcase somehow slid under a small table in an unnamed Diner someplace to ensure he doesn’t end up with an AI obligation.

I watch the show for Adam, and Adam alone. I think the rest of them are the same tired acts AI has been cranking out since the second season.

adam lambert in the bottom 3? you got to be joking. true talent comes only in a while, which is what Adam is. no American Idol show for us ever if he gets booted out. Adam voters, don’t split your vote, just vote for Adam. and Ryan, you know it when you did something wrong, so, apologize..

All 4 contestants left are talented but only one of them has the potentail to become a MUSIC ICON & SUPERSTAR and that is Adam Lambert. I am absolutely shocked and saddened that the American Idol viewers apparently don’t see this and don’t appreciate true music greatness. It’s not a Singing Competition…It’s become a “Vote for the Underdog” or “Vote for the Widow” or “Vote for the cute guy”. America got it really wrong Tuesday night. Adam gave a great performance and to rank him #4 was a joke.He has to be so demoralized and feel so defeated. I hope that he’s able to rise above this and give a stellar performance next week although I don’t trust American Idol viewers to even recognize or reward steallar when they see/hear it. So if he goes out at #4 so be it I suppose. He will have a bigger, more successful career than the winner and American Idol becomes an irrelevant joke.

There’s a song that goes “Don’t know what you got til it’s gone”. I think American Idol fans got a taste of that this week with Adam Lambert almost being eliminated. I think there was a huge nationwide “freak out” about it..some are calling it “Adamquake” and I strongly suspect his phone lines will be practically blowing up next Tuesday .

This is definitely a sign of the coming Apocalypse. In 1560 Nostradamus predicted that on April 29, 2009 Adam Lambert would be in the bottom three. He said that because of this, the Four Horseman would appear on stage at American Idol led by no other than Anoop Desai to destroy all of mankind. In order to prevent this unfortunate event, we must sacrifice our fingers to Adam Lambert and constantly vote until our fingers fall off. As for me, I’ll still vote for the other three, I don’t mute them when they go on stage.

My comments are probably redundant at this point but just to show there is one more who shares this outrage over Wed 4/29/09 results show travesty I am going to chime in. Sorry for the composition…

Like Sally, it disturbed me too that people throw in their casual 5-10 votes and feel that’s enough. I voted with 2 phones non-stop for 2 hours and I think I made just a little over 1000. I almost stopped after the first hour but I was afraid that many Adam fans were getting complacent and throwing sympathy votes to keep other contestants in the game. I am so glad I did not stop. You Adam fans out there, just remember other contestants’ more fanatical fans might be, probably are, voting like that, too. So 50 per Adam fan is not enough. Adam puts in all of himself into each of his performances week after week. Placing him in the bottom 2 or 3 (we could argue until cows go home which one, but does it matter when it was not him in the top 2?) is no way to repay this extremely talented, hard-working, gracious young man.

I also suspect that there are quite a few people who throw in their 2 cents in cyberspace and sound as if they like Adam but do absolutely nothing as far as voting goes. I hope they realize the free ride may come to an abrupt halt unless they help and start voting.

The way Ryan jerked Adam around broke my heart. That was worses than not getting top number of votes. A little scare can be good for waking up his complacent voters, but embarrassing him like that? It was uncalled for. I hope that Adam rises above it stronger than ever. It is all on Ryan and AI not him. That was worse than tacky. I can’t find words civil enough to post on the internet. Adam’s even answering such a crass question actually endeared him to me more. He did not give smarmy political answer or pull the little kiddie Archie. He answered. I don’t care if he thought he was picking the top 2 or bottom 2. His usual close pals Allison and Kris were split into two separate groups. He couldn’t win either way. I was sick to the stomach.

I want to continue to see/hear him perform. He is a rare treat. It seems to me that anyone who knows anything about music are in awe of Adam’s abilities whereas those who complain he “screeches” are just used to certain range and tone only, and can’t cope with anything outside the norm. I don’t want to pay to see or hear a boy-next-door idol. Boy-next-door is, well, boy-next-door. You can see one free everyday, next door. I want someone as different and extraordinarily talented and versatile like Adam. Someone who wows me like Adam. Someone who is courageous enough to try to push the creative boundaries on a show like AI. He is the only one who is trying to outdo himself every week. He has the abilities to back up his ambitions. Another contestant’s entire 2-minute song can’t hold a candle to his one soaring 9-second note! And this despite the fact that other contestants are no average Joes either. Yes, he doesn’t need all that OTT antics becaus he has his other-wordly vocals. Judging from his “Mad World” performance, he could be sitting on a toilet with matted hair, guyliner or no guyliner, or even smudged mascara, just singing and still melt a few million hearts. But all the extra stuff just makes him, well, Adam, the super-ham.
And, he is humble, too. Who listened to the mentors, showed respect, went out of his way to thank musicians for helping him with arrangements? That’d be Adam. Who nodded and smiled, and nevertheless flat out ignored mentors’s advises, repeatedly? No need to name names, I am sure the indicated contestant is really a nice person but he sure came across as believing he knew better than Smoky Robinson. It was NOT Adam.

I had never watched AI regularly or intentionally past 7 seasons, and never voted. I do not like reality shows much. I never downloaded anything from iTunes until Adam showed up. His Ring of Fire turned me into a furiously voting fan. I have iTunes downloads of all of his performances so far (both video and studio versions – they are different), and none by others. I listen to them *every* night for a couple of hours. I tune in AI just to watch him. I am going to snatch up his future album(s) and go to his concert when there is one (not AI tour but Adam concert). So who is marketable? Not to take anything away from other, also very talented contestants, I just have a hard time remembering what they sang when Adam shared the stage in the same hour.

Something about his voice just gets to me. It is exciting, moving and gorgeous. I was so upset on Wednesday night (actually, I still am) I kept telling myself to get a grip. I am surprized by the strength of my reaction to Adam’s being in the bottom 2. Apparently Adam made an impact on me in the weeks he’s performed. Without a tween crush on Adam (being a 40 something woman), I am a fan who admires and adores him for his talent and audacity. If I can’t have him as my Idol, I really don’t want NOBODY! Why do I want him to win this stupid show? Because he wants it and it seems to mean a lot to him to know his artistry appeals to a lot of people. If you feel the same way, please, Adam fans, vote, vote, vote. Watch your YouTube clips of him after the voting hours. I do.

Gawd, I can’t believe I stayed up until 3AM writing this…

I know I was in utter -SHOCK- Wednesday night! Adam in the bottom 3??? What the heck????? Adam’s voice IS sooo very beautiful, I practically ~melt~ into butter every Tuesday night, when he sings. I vote for him, and he is the ONLY 1 that I vote for. I too, had a problem w/voting on that 2nd line, so I just stuck w/the 1st one. I was able to get in {roughly – w/in that 2 hr. frame} around 20 votes for Adam that night. Normally, the past weeks, I’ve been lucky to get at least 3-4 votes in. However, I felt something was wrong , because the line seemed unusually NOT as busy for Adam as it has been in the previous weeks. C’mon ya’ll – VOTE, VOTE, VOTE – Adam is the one!!!!!!!!!!

I respect Adam for choosing a side. I knew he wouldn’t be a phony about it. Adam’s talent is so extraordinary it almost renders him undefinable and this is why some people (the unimaginative ones) vote for the safe and comfortable. We’re in the UK and can’t vote for Adam but we’re counting on there being enough Americans with the ability to recognise a true star when they see one to make sure Adam wins. And Adam, if you do by some chance read this, You have brought us so much pleasure and joy over the last weeks and we will be fans for life no matter what. Don’t let the b——’s grind you down. We love you.

IN READING THE COMMENTS IM TOUCHED TO SEE SO MANY OTHERS FEEL AS I DO, IM WRITING THIS WITH TEARS IN MY EYES, LOVE YOU ADAM AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOU SING UNTIL I DIE, IM 73 SO SING ALONG TIME

@ Lambert Lover —–2 phones? Now, why didn’t I think of that?! I’ve just been hitting the re-dail button on my cell. Thanks for the phone tip!!! Next Tuesday, I’ll have my cell in 1 hand, and my land-line in the other – maybe I can get more than 20 votes in next time!!!

Poor Matt and Adam: waiting the results with Ryan JOKING with Kara and Randy, who both behaved poorly – very rude. I am Adam fan from Finland and I hope some-one votes in USA for my behalf:). I am glad that the contestants seem to be se close to each other. Idol should be about singers who SING – not about judges- or Ryan. LET THEM SING

I am a 45 year old mother living in Israel, sorry I can’t vote but if I could I would painstakingly finger hurting make the effort to vote for Adam. He makes me sit up and watch AI and gladly converted to be his adoring fan. This did not happen too often. He is God’s gift to Music. He is fantastic, amazing, brilliant singer and performer. He’s got the whole package and more. He is the epitomy of all the great singers and more. He blew me away with each of his performances. VOTE FOR ADAM NONSTOP. He deserves to win. Thank you.

I’m a 21 years old girl from Rome, Italy! I watch american idol every year thanks to youtube, and this year I was blown away by Adam…I’ve never ever heard someone singing and performing like him. I find myself laughing and crying when he’s on that stage…His has an incredible talent and my mouth dropped open when Ryan said that he was in the bottom 2 O_O what? I can’t vote cause I’m in Italy, I wish I could do something…I just want adam to know that even Europeans support him!!!If he doesn’t win or gets kicked off before the final I’m not going to watch american idol anymore, cause I’ll know that is all a set up! Come on guys there’s no competition with Adam…Like Paula said, this year is like watching Adam Lambert’s concert!!
Adam you rock and nobody else rock…especially on that stage!
I’m looking forward to rock week with Slash…I’m sure Adam will give his best!
Adam be confident and give us more incredible performances and moments to remember!

We love you!!!

Kisses from Italy!

Whoever who does not vote for Adam either has a mental problem or is paralysed.He is dam freaking good that i’ve never seen a greater talent on AI

hey guys if you dun live in America you CAN STILL VOTE!!!!!!!! You can download free programs that allow you to vote for Adam. Go to the forum of Adam in the official AI site, you will know how to vote for him.
VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

im from the phils. a 16 yr old one and i love adam lambert. please support him. ty.

Let me just say that anyone who thinks by Adam picking a side Wed night was him being arrogant, has got it all wrong. Adam was put in a VERY bad situation and he chose where he thinks he should be.I would have done the same thing if I was him, he is confident with who he is and what he does, and he should be. ADAM I LOVE YOU!

It’s so funny–I NEVER have blogged, I never even look at sites like this, but this one caught my interest and I started reading other’s opinions and realized they felt like I did. I was so upset to see Adam in the bottom 3, as well as Alyson a couple weeks ago, that I swore to my husband that I would not watch the rest of the season if he got kicked off. He is extremely talented (and I enjoy looking at him even though I’m almost 60!) Even if he by some stretch of the imagination loses, he will be a success in the music field in the future.

I’m from Paris and I watch the show on the internet…i am so angry that I can’t vote,but I’m with all my heart for Adam!!!

I do believe that Adam is a great singer/performer. But you must give the other contestants the benifit of the doubt, they are still in this competion and deserve there time and reconigtion of how great and deserving they are.

Adam is a great performer/singer
but so are the others and they deserve to be in the spotlight also.

Danny is the best. Adam needs to sing on Broadway. His voice is too more suited for theater. I absolutely hated “Ring of Fire”! I thought it was very disrespectful to Johnny Cash and country music. He is good, but Danny should be AI!

Johnny Cash would be proud of the rendition Adam Lambert did of “Ring of Fire”. Very talented young man with vocals that will push him to win this competion. I live in nashville and seen other performers perform that song, nothing like Adam. Very mediterranean,very chic and a modern day compliment to the man in black.

What Adam did with Ring of Fire was brilliant! He took a boring country song and turned it an electric, sensual performance. I am Australian and I dislike country music, it’s one of these things (just like baseball) that is utterly boring and enjoyed only by Americans. So bravo Adam for making that song into something the rest of us can listen to and appreciate.

hello;
wake up people its a show,program,ratings mega giant each weak more votes new records,gaurded secrets of who has most votes,dont you realize its been #1 for all these years because they create the drama and know how to create the contaversies, its entertainment and their goal is to be #1 so ford coke and all the advo. monies keep flowing, get it! love the show but realize it is a SHOW to get these reactions by script!!!!!

doobler: Ummmm…aren’t ALL the performers on American Idol “ripping off” someone? Lol… Adam is great because he dares to do the more obscure, the more interesting, less karaoke version of cover songs. All these kids are very talented, but are still figuring out who they are as performers…Adam already knows who he is, and that makes all the difference…

I think it is absolutley hilarious that people think Danny should win AI, or that Danny is better than Adam. Danny is SO boring..Adam is amazing and has never really had a bad week..listen to the judges people, they do nothing but praise Adam! Danny has a good voice but he is no Adam Lambert!! VOTE FOR ADAM!

adam is not the next elvis this is a singing competition we are not competing for broadway

Adam Lambert should win this season of idol, but if he does not, he will still be a star in the music and entertainment industry.

And it was great to see/hear Taylor Hicks perform his new single on idol. He is a wonderfully talented singer/musician/songwriter who loves really good music.

So were 14 year old gels living in india,nd 2day we had 2 helplesly watch while Adam was sent 2 d bottom 2.
Nd not 2 say dat d other contestants arentgood it’s jus that they don’t come even remotly close 2 lambert.Showmenship,range,vrsa tality,evrythinreally!!
I mean this guy is in a freakin league of his own !!!n it would b a CRIME if he doesn’t win!I mean I desided that I was never watching a.I EVER if he doesn’t win…cause well it would reatty b unfair n stupid…n wats really unfair is that we CANT VOTE!!
So this is Fr u adam fans in America …wake up ,charge ur phones ,n vote.
Cuz this guy deserves it.N whoever thinks he SCRETCHES…should totally gt ur EARS checked!!!!cause he’s right on pitch,EVERY WEEK!!nd what’s d hype bout danny??!! We have enough n more of singers like him!! We don’t need another !!!
So seriously,wake up.

adam deserves to be at the bottom 2 he walked down those stairs with a lot of arrogance i am so proud of all those voters who voted for danny and allison all this time i thought adam automatically will win AI fans keep the competition going go danny go allison U CANT SCREAM YOUR WAY TO AI

Nikki, I second that. We cannot possibly expect the contestants to do all the rehearsals, meetings with the mentors, filming the Ford commercials, press opps etc. etc. AND come up with their own versions of songs each week! I mean seriously, how long do you think a week is? Of course these versions are not entirely theirs, it’s the emotion and little twists that they put in to make it their own that sets apart the good performances from the bland ones. Adam always picks the less known and more interesting renditions, and always does them justice, imho. And by the way “If I don’t Have You” was entirely new and original, even Simon said it.

Carole, Elvis was a riveting performer, but his voice never appealed to me, it is deep and one-dimensional. Adam is also riveting, but his voice has more range and is more versatile, imho, he can sing anyhting: musicals, rock, ballads, pop. I’ve seen some of his pre-Idol performances on Youtube and am blown away.

Taylor Hicks was never in the bottem two…he owned the stage every week and he owned it this week. Adam is very talented but in a theatrical way. I think Rocky Horror picture show everytime her performs, largely due to his need to screech everytime he performs. That was cool the first couple times, but come on….lets move on.

Seeing Adam Lambert, possibly the best contestant AI has ever had, in the bottom 3 is terrible but Ryan Seacrest’s behavior made me want to puke. Totally inexcusable. No wonder Angelina Jolie snubs him repeatedly. We can only hope Adam Lambert gets the same chance! Vote Adam hundreds off times on Tuesday. Revenge is the best revenge!

I have to put my 2 cents in here, especially to the woman who said her Minister told the congregation to vote for Danny and not Adam for moral reasons. Are you kidding me!
I am a Christian and my sister is even more so than I am, her and I both think Adam has more talent. It is a singing competition, not an audition for the Pope! Way too many people out there judging Adam. I have seen nothing but an amazing talent, sweet and likeable young man. I am not saying that the other 3 are not talented, I am just voting for whom I think has the most talent and that is Adam Lambert. As for choosing a group, based on the comments from the judges, I feel that he was choosing the group that he thought to be the bottom. I’m 55 and have downloaded every one of his songs from i-tunes. First time I have ever done that. I listen to him sing daily both at home and in my car. I am proud to be an Adam Lambert fan and I will do my part in the voting for him.

To Terry. You can’t be serious when you say that “Taylor Hicks” owns the stage. That guy belongs in local pubs at best. Next to Adam Lambert he’s a minuscule molecule. In fact, last Tuesday nights performances from the so-called “professionals” were so grotesquely amateur, they all could have taken lessons from Adam! Go Adam! You don’t need Idol ’cause you’re already one!

Alright, I am a Mormon and we get a lot of crap on the whole gay thing…but I for one LOOOVEE adam and I don’t think that him being gay should have anything to with this competition. God can sort this thang out latas fo reals. Right now Adam should win, and I am ashamed of other Christians like the comment below said.

I am one of the older fans of Adam Lambert and I want to thank him for all the happiness his singing has given to so many people. Whatever the outcome of that stupid show, he’s won everything already. Best new singer in ages!!! I will be buying his albums along with millions of other people. Go Adam!

Merle, Steve, Gina – I totally agree with all three of you. Shame on some christians for being so judgmental: wasn’t there something in your holy book about how god created us equal and loves us all and we should not judge?

Adam Lambert is by far the most talented, entertaining and unquie star in the history of American Idol. I find him totally mesmerising. I would travel to the States just to see him on stage. He is Elivis reincarnated, he deserves to win. The others are his support acts. Adam Lambert you rock!!!

Adam all the way. Allison has it going on as well. Danny is good, and Matt is ok…. but Adam is the whole package. I give props to Danny for admitting that he has been watching some videos to help his stage presence. GO DANNY, but as far as making it to AI, I beleive with all my heat that Adam has it locked in. Allison is going to be some tough comp, but I’m not sure America is ready for another teen.

I’m a 46 year old female. Seems like all the greats are getting up there in years now. How refreshing to have Adam show up in this vast wasteland of radio I haven’t listened to for years. I am hooked on A.I. because of him, started my first itunes because of him. Love listening to him sing each and everyday. He has passion and I can’t even remember a time when I wanted to listen to a song repeatedly since I was a teenager! What a gift you are to the world Adam and I with those who are loving seeing your fame unfold. I downloaded the song “I just love you” the other day. What a beautiful song. Adam sings the whole range and the emotion and intensity is always just right and from the gut. Love the rock, love the ballads, love the showmanship…super cool Adam

I am glad to see the overwhelmingly postive comments on this blog. I want to read comments about why people love their favorites not hate-filled screeds against the other contestants! I love Adam because I think he has an incredible voice and is just plain fun to watch. I think all the other contestants are really talented and I can totally understand other people loving them. Is that so hard?

Adam Lambert is absolutely the most talented, exciting, personable and gorgeous contestant ever to grace the AI stage. I think voters just figured he was a shoe-in for the finale and were voting for their second choice. It hope it was a fluke and doesnt happen again because if he is eliminated there will be no reason to watch any longer and I am enjoying this season so much I dont want it to end. All you Adam fans get back to voting this week and put him back on top where he belongs!!!!!!

I can’t help but want this super-gifted, non-conformist kid that the bigots enjoy making fun of to win. I want him to win by being himself, which he is. Because you know, so few dare to stay true to themselves.

I can’t believe how Adam was treated on the show by Ryan. And not just because it was Adam. All of these young artists have worked their butts off and sacrificed to be where they are today. Not one of them would deserve such treatment. They don’t need to do stuff like that for ratings. People love the show for the performances and the suspense, not for shenanigans like Ryan pulled. It made my heart hurt for Adam. I know he is tough, but he has intense emotional feeling as evident in his singing. I bet he can’t believe they actually used him on the stage that way that night. As far as his sexuality. How should that even matter? There have been so many successful huge artists who are/were gay before him. Big deal. If he wasn’t there I would vote for Kris, Gokey is a fake. Allison is awesome. Can’t wait for tuesday!!!!

Oh Deborah how funny, I thought I was the only one. I am a 51 year old mother of two, and I had to have my 24 year old daughter come over and show me how to use Itunes so I could download all of Adam’s songs and AI performances.
My husband thinks I am nuts, but Adam just makes me happy!!!!

Adam is the only reason I watch AI here in the UK. There’s no doubt that all the contestant are talented, but at this stage of competion it is to be expected. However, they lack Adam’s diversity, intensity and conviction.

Whatever happens, I am sure that he will have a great career. I for once can’t wait to buy his CD.

I am a senior citizen and a grandmother. I have never been so exited about a singer since I was a young girl and Elvis was just starting out. Adam lambert has something very special just like Elvis.He is so talented and such a good looking young man.I was so hurt to see him in the bottom 2 this pass wednesday. My friends and I watch American Idol every Tuesday night just so we can watch Adam perform.He’s a great performer and always leaves us wanting to hear more from him.We will vote for him as much as we can next week.Love you Adam.

Adam Lambert deserves to win American Idol. He is heads above the rest of the contestants and he dares to be unique and different.

i know tell me about it evey one at my school thinks he is hot plus that the only reason i watch idol is to see what adam does im just glad that he was safe but i feel bad because matt had some good moments there but oh well.

I’m a 64 year old grandma. Adam is extraordinary. The others on AI are very good, but Adam is light years above them in pure talent. I could care less if he’s gay. He makes me happy. I love the rock and I love the tender songs too. If he gets voted off, I’m done watching.

Adam in the bottom 3???? It’s a very, very mad world….

This info is from another source. Seems like AI was jerking Adam around in a really inhumane way. Ryan said that Kris was safe and that he was in the top 4. And at no time did Ryan say that Matt and Adam were the bottom 2. Which means that Adam was actually number 3 in votes. He actually belonged in either group, top 3 and bottom 3. AI and Ryan are complete douchebags. Totally uncalled.

In a TV Guide interview, Simon thought that Adam would be an international star whereas Danny would only do well in the US.

Dang there are a ton of comments on this! Adam is flat out spectacular. Danny has a lovely voice but he is like watching paint dry. No way no how would I spend money on that.

June09.. I don’t think you know for sure that Johnny Cash would have praised Adams rendition of “Ring of Fire”. Personally I think he would have puked! That being said, it’s been the only song of Adams that I disliked. That is a classic song and should have not been mutilated like that.
Adam is a fabulous singer but his style reminds me of KISS. Not my kind of music but he will leave this show winner or not with a million dollar recording contract.
Just my humble opinion. These are all talented kids. Their talent far out shines some of the guest artists that have performed on the show this season… well, not just some, most of them.

I was literaly in tears when Adam was in the bottom three , It was terrible It cant be possible i said to myself. This guy is to gifted. I have watched AI since it first started and have never seen anyone that can standup to Adam. I have all his songs and videos from i toons I even have his picture in a frame in my living. Im a 59 year old grandma . But i love Adam Please vote for him !

Another older lady here – 55 yr. -I absolutely love Adam and would run out and buy his records in a heartbeat!!! If he doesn’t win I am done with AI. Also I can’t stand Ryan for what he did to Adam. I think it was degrading to Adam and to the show. If it was just for excitement or ratings I think it was a low blow. Adam is the best thing to happen to the music world in a long time. He will be bigger than Elvis or Michael Jackson ever were. He is a true entertainer!!!! ADAM LOVER!!!

I can’t get over that people think Danny is better than Adam.Danny does the same thing every week and is SO predictable. Adam is freaking amazing,I have never been so hooked on someone. I LOVE YOU ADAM!

Arlene,

Who are you to say what my opinion is of one of the contestants or his version of “Ring of Fire”? he reminds you of Kiss? How old are you, like 20 I am guessing? I agree with you they are all talented, but you need to do something more constructive then to critique my opinion. I usually don’t respond to this nonsense. We will see when Adam Lambert wins Season 8 as he is deservant to. The remaining 3 will do just as well. They are all very talented. Adam Lambert is completely unique and vocally unbelievable and a pleasure to watch.

I’m so sick of people saying ring of fire was so bad..it was AMAZING! Adam admitted country songs are not his best thing, but he did a darn good job trying to make it work for him. He is so entertaining and i have never seen so many people this crazy over someone! It just shows how much talent he truly has.

ITA. These people are posting negative comments on lambert’s version of “Ring of Fire”. I happen to be in the industry and that was one of his most impressive performances to date. To take those notes and lyrics and turn it into a modern day song that people would buy is unreal. I don’t like posts of people bashing others opinions, but now the Lambert Ring of Fire got me fired up. Ellen Degeneres even liked it and stood up for that song. In my opinion Danny Gokey was a front runner in the beginning, now, his voice is gravely and he has absolutely no stage presence. He seems more awkward, clumsy, unsure and struggles for the notes each episode. He admitted he imitates other performers moves. Allison is good, for a karaoke bar winner. There were other female singers in this competion much more talented. The Kelly Clarkson thing wore off for me like 4 episodes ago and she lacks the enthusiasm the rest have.
Chris Allen is my second favorite, but not to out shine Adam. We have seen many people like Chris, he is not different. He has the teen vote going on, but I think he will be second place. He often sings out the side of his mouth I notices as well. With that said Adam Lambert is superb, every week, every performance, consistent and determined. Vocally he channels Freddie Mercury. I said that from the beginning. Can’t wait until this young man comes home the winner.

When I watch a competition, I expect people to pull out all the stops. For men’s skating, I expect to see quads and artistry. In opera, I love hearing the very difficult pieces like the Queen of the Night aria. Adam delivers that in this COMPETITION. Hearing his superb vocal range and watching his stage presence is a 10 for me. We should expect all the idols to do that and only one capable of it. Everyone else pales in comparison to Adam and end up being boring and predictable. America has gotten too used to white bread and Cheese Whiz entertainers. Taylor Hicks and Dorkey Gokey are two of them.

Ryan is a sleeze, and shame on the judges Kara and Randy for congratulating themselves by hugging each other by predicting that Matt would be near the bottom. Shame on all the judges for allowing Ryan to jerk around Adam with no consequence.

There’s something about Adam that fires people up. Star Power.

I am a 62 year old grandmother and I can not believe that in this day and age we are talking about an individual’s sexual preference as a factor in whether or not he or she would be worthy of winning AI. Adam Lambert is a gifted, creative and talented man who should win on those merits alone. There should be no discussion except for that. Each week he has out shone the other contestants in every way and it is the reason I watch the show. While the others may be talented, they are rather boring in comparison. Adam brings a element of excitement to the show that draws viewers to their TVs each week. As for him being arrogant, I have no idea where that is coming from ~ in fact, I think he has been rather humble instead. Because he stages his performances in such a way as to make them dramatic is not arrogance, but further evidence as to his brillant talent. He is an amazing singer and entertainer. I, for one, will not be watching the remaining episodes should Adam be voted off.

Lets face it folks this is a singing competion. They are ALL talented performers. They were voted on out of thosands of contestants, down to the final four. Extremely talented group. I never watch this show. I surfed the channel once due to a a employee asking me to watch. That Adam Lamburt has me hooked. I actually voted. This is like watching Elvis coming back to life.This man is really a good singer. However, they all are. It is a good show.

I am a 62 year old grandmother and I can not believe in this day and age we are discussing sexual orientation as a factor in whether an individual is a worthy candidate to win AI. The only factor should be whether they have the talent, drive and creativity to win. Adam Lambert is a talented, creative and gifted young man who brings a sense of joy to each of his performances. While the others are talented, they are rather boring in comparison to Adam. Each time he sings a song, not only does he have a magnificant singing voice, but he brings a drama and excitement to it and it is what draws viewers to their TVs. I do not find him arrogant, but rather humble instead. I hope people are not suggesting that the entertainment he brings to a performance is arrogance. Should Adam be voted off the show, I will not be compelled to watch the remaining shows ~ they just won’t be entertaining enough

It’s funny I was checking email and googled Adam Lambert. My father will be 85 years old this summer. He has the mind of a 70 year, but will actually be 85. He watches Andy Griffin on TV Land and Bill O’Reilly. Whenever I come over he asks me to turn on AI when Adam Lambert is on to see him perform. He says, “look at Liberace, this guy can sing.” It’s funny the media this is getting. I know my father would be truly disapponted if this Adam lost. Young & Old everyone likes him.

i think the producer made this thing up, since the they know that he will win, and since he is the best singer obviously by far from the other contastants, my reason that the producer made this joke up “if it’s real” is that more viewrs will be attracted to the show or more people will vote for adam. Adam wasn’t actually in the bottom 3 I think Allison and danny was going to be in the bottom 3 with matt but they change it because i don’t konw maybe for some weird reason maybe they want just want to give an other chance. cause i am pretty sure that adam and kris was’nt in the bottom 3

I was so excited when Adam went to the bottom three! I thought “YES” FINALLY the people are speaking up!! While he is a good singer along with other 4 – he is just not my cup of tea! I would not vote for him no matter what! Talent abounds this season! Bye Bye Adam!!!!!

It took me two days to get out of my funk. I literally cried when I saw Adam in the bottom three. What an insult! What the “?” is American Idol up to? My son literally had to console me because when Adam was in the bottom two my face turned “white.”
There is no plausible why that Adam could be in the bottom three. My son was considering calling the medics because I couldn’t breathe…I had to take some anti-anxiety medication and still I went to bed crying. I am a 52 year old grandmother. I have been watching American Idol every season. Never and I mean never have I seen such an immaculate, charismatic, vocally superior, awesomely entertaining and humble performer on American Idol since Adam Lambert. When I heard his “black or white” rendition I was hooked and real bad! I have purchased several items on ebay with Adam’s gorgeous face on them….I spend hours listening to his performances of youtube…and I can’t stop talking about him to anyone who will listen. To me he is superior than any current pop singer recording today. I think the reason I cried is because Adam has this ability in his singing to ease a broken heart, to give inspiration for those who are different, and to excite the world in a very difficult “mad world” that we are living in. American Idol better be playing some game because I will not watch AI ever again if Adam gets voted off. I too watch AI only to see Adam perform. I really don’t care what the others do. Danny Gokey irkes me. He is a likable guy, but when he said he changed his way of singing when he wathced a certain entertainer and he wouldn’t reveal who it was…I’m pretty sure it was Adam he was trying to immulate. I wore my fingers off voting for him and I got through on 10 every time. I am really concerned about my health if Adam should lose. It’s a shame I put so much of me and my life on Adam’s shoulders but I live alone and I am on disability and Adam is my one ray of sunshine (except for my granddaughter). When he was in the bottom two I finally screamed “just let him go” so he become the superstar that he already is! Adam you are unique, superb, and bring joy to many grandmothers, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters….

It’s a set up to get you to vote, 49 million voted, a quarter of the US population and at 50 cents a pop that’s $24 million Adam is in a totally different league to any singer I have ever heard including fat italians who sing really old songs in Italian rooted to the spot to avoid keeling over. I’m 62, why they still sing swing is beyond me, it was buried alive in the sixties. Zombie music, back from the grave. Adam would walk all over Sinatra but why sing that schmalz stuff in the first place today? It’s got as much intelligence, class and style as a slot machine but at least a slot occasionally pays out and keeps you guessing.

hot for adam: What you wrote is exactly how i feel. My mom went straight to bed after she saw what Ryan did to adam. She has not been on the computer at all since wed and she would be on there for hours at a time looking up info on Adam. Adam’s face makes me melt, he is the most talented contestant and for them to mess with him like they did on wed was just wrong. Adam I love you!

adam is great. no doubt of that. and i want him and everone to know that he has my support for as long as he stays on the musical and entertainment industry. and because i dont live in the states, i couldnt vote for adam. it pains me. how i wish i was living in the US. Adam’s miraculous voice has reached out to almost everyone across the globe, which explains why someone like me living as far away in singapore can be touched by him. adam’s amazing and he’s a true talent. the international musical industry cant afford to lose such a talent. GO ON ADAM> CROSS THE FINISH LINE. VOTE FOR HIM AMERICA!!

Hi Whatever i say is redundant but I am a 40 years mum and i have a 12 years son. We both enjoy AI because of Adam. We know how talented and good role model he is.My son wants his hair style, my son admires his clthing presence and my boy wants to be a star like him, singing like him. Adam is an inspiration that appeals to any age. He is cute, he is humble and he is the best talented singer in AI for the past 8th years.It’s a shame that in America people still judges others. It’s not what Jesus said according to the bible isn’t it? If Adam gets voted off I simply wont watch ever again AI.It’s a joke. The competition is about who is the best in it not who i feel sorry for. Vote for the best who definetely is Adam Lambert! I cannot vote I am in UK where those prejudgementals are gone and we see people for what they really are and have to offer!!
Adam if you don’t win be sure Europe loves you and we will be there for you to buy your records!!
So you can become the bigger star you want to be.:))

I’m a 56 year old grandmother of five and I’m another grannie that absolutely adores Adam. I was literally sick to see him at the bottom two. I really sweated it out praying he would stay. Come on everyone make sure you throw all ten of your votes to Adam this week. In fact use your home phone for ten votes and then use every cell phone you have to add ten more votes on each line. I haven’t been this excited about a new singer in a very long time. He is extremely good looking, so polite, they say he is extremely helpful to the other performers, he is so unassuming, extremely versatile, awesome stage performer and I could go on and on. PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM LIKE CRAZY TILL HE IS CROWNED THE IDOL.
His sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with his enormous talent. He is a young man exploring his sexual identity like many famous rockers before him but none of that has anything to do with his talent. ADAM LAMBERT CAN BE MY GAY HUSBAND ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

ALL THOSE “ADAM HATERS” OUT THERE WHO KEEP POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON ADAM, JUST LEAVE THIS THREAD AND FOCUS ON SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT. YOU ARE ALL JUST WASTING YOUR TIME BASHING ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME PERFORMERS OF THIS ERA!! YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES SO TAKE YOUR IMMATURE IGNORANCE ELSEWHERE!! ADAM HAS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF SUPPORTERS AROUND THE WORLD AND WE WILL SUPPORT HIM ALL THE WAY TO MAKING HIS MILLIONS!!

All who adore Adam better VOTE 10 TIMES harder from now on. I can’t even imagine the uproar around the world if he loses this competition. If the votes were rigged by FOX then maybe it will be for Adam’s benefit as we will be voting much harder. They probably did this on purpose to make us vote harder so that Adam could win!!!

I am still not over what happened on Wednesday night. I felt physically ill. I have never been so emotionally involved by any single performer before and I’m not sure I understand what has happened to me!! One thing I don’t understand, if you believe AI (?) there were 11million more votes than the week before…where did they come from??? who stepped in and voted for others that weren’t voting before? weird.

I’m a 54 yr old Mom from the Phils and an Adam fanatic. He is the BEST AI contestant and no one can compare with him. I used to love David Cook but my admiration for Adam is 100x more than . Adam is a great singer and a TOTAL PERFORMER. Fans like me from the overseas can’t do anything except to pray that fans from the States will pick up the phone and vote for Adam till the finals. When you vote for him, you are representing his millions ( or billions) of fans all over the world. If Adam does not win, I will NEVER EVER watch AI in my whole life!!!

I am crazy Adam’s fan from china. I am crazy for him all the way. My English is not good enough to describle my feeling…Thanks all fans.
I swear I won’t watch AI any more if Adam doesn’t win because AI turns out to be joke.

I have to agree with most of you.
American Idol should save these Wednesday stunts for mediocre contestants and have more respect for true talent such as Adam who has made this season exciting.
Hope we don’t get stuck with the second comming of Taylor Hicks….Danny Gokey future Vegas, Cruise ship act.

LOVE Adam FOREVER!

Adam may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he is easily the best singer and entertainer on the show. If you watch objectively, the competition isn’t even close.

Good Lord! Some of these posts really are a riot… I even felt bad for the grandmother comments… I had no idea the age groups Adam has reeled in… Yet Im not surprised by his variety of fans, as he is a star in every aspect thinkable, a prodigy, his kind comes only in rare form. Im posting because I would like to acknowledge last weeks result show… I think its a shame that the producers of AI feel it necessary to try and throw this competition just so they can get a reaction, more feedback, more drama, more votes, more viewers, altogether, more money in their pockets! It really sucks donkeyass thru a straw, its insulting, its unfair, and its beyond greedy! Do these idiots really think that anyone with half a brain, those who have witnessed Adam’s raw talent with their own eyes, could truly buy into him being in, not just the bottom 3, but in the bottom 2???? OMG!!! Its pathetic!!! Its an outrage, and if Adam doesnt start getting the respect he deserves, then Im done watching this show cause its proving to be fixed more and more as each season goes by! I dont buy into last weeks stunt one bit but I did predict they would do this… The show was pretty much predictable up until this last Wednesday night… They needed to throw everyone off for their own financial gain and its just getting old for me at this point… This show has been rigged ever since Clay lost season 2 way back in the day… Yeah, but this last stunt has me all worked up… Never has AI’s stage seen such talent in these last 8 years. Adam has been their best discovery yet, THE BEST!!!! Im employed within the music industry and I can say not only has AI been blessed with this find, but the whole world is in for another “Elvis Epidemic”… However, Im not voting anymore for Adam on AI, since it is obvious my vote could make no difference, these producers make all final adjustments! Can’t wait to hear Adam’s first album and see him in concert… Oh and fyi, to those who apply, his Ring of Fire rendition was phenomonal, it made me fall in love with a song I absolutely hated! Every performance he of his is amazing!!!

For those of you who praise Adam’s ‘creativity’ and ‘originality’, you DO realize that most of his song arrangements, he just ripped off other (more obscure) artists. Right?

Last week, he ripped off Muse’s arrangement of Feeling Good…..

Just as he did he did for Mad World, by stealing the Gary Jules arrangement (aka the Donnie Darko version)…..

Just as he did with Ring Of Fire, by stealing the Dilana arrangement (aka the Rock Star Supernova version)…..

I think you get the picture.

In regards to Adam choosing sides, he actually had to have been choosing the side he thought had the lowest votes. Ryann was making up the bottom three, and since two contestants were already assigned to each group, Adam had to know he was in the bottom three. He likely selected Allison’s side because she received the worst Simon judgement of the prevous night while Simon told Matt that his performance was “brililant.”

I’m just irritated reading so many blogs out there on various sites criticizing Adam first for making a choice, then for making the choice he did. Had he refused, he would have looked wimpy, something Adam certainly doesn’t seem to be. As I recall, many people blogged that David Archuletta was wimping out by sitting down on the stage last year. I certainly didn’t think so, as he was just a kid put in a very awkward position. Adam is a grown man, though, and I think he did the mature thing by playing the show’s game. After all, when you go on a reality show, you’re basically signing up for a few doses of discomfort and awkward moments.

I’ve read a few blogs complaining that Adam has “ripped off” srrangements of the songs he’s performed. The argument cracks me up since this is a singing competition and not a song-writing/arranging contest. He obviously does cover somewhat obscure covers of songs, but I really don’t see what the difference is whether he’s covering the original or a cover of the original. It’s still his voice doing the singing while injecting his own unique stylings, and it still demonstrates his talent in finding a version of a song that fits his personality. Plus, I’ve never once heard him take credit for doing the arrangements himself, and in a couple cases has given credit where it was due (although that really isn’t his job to do. Ryan should be giving the credit when he announces the performance). The show goes over as it is, and they don’t really give the contestants the floor for arrangement discussion. Adam has sneaked it in a couple of times, and the funny thing is, I’ve also read blogs by people saying they’re tired of Adam giving shout-outs.

Everyone seems to have a criticism. I’d like to see how perfectly we’d all do everything if we were the ones under the kind of pressure they face in front of millions. It’s really easy to sit in our comfy homes in front of our computers and pick it all apart. We have the time to mull it all over and decide what we’d do in each given situation. The contestants are all up there having to wing it in front of a live audience, and it’s not as if they’re in control of the schedule.

Anonymous,

Most of us at this sight are musically diverse enough to have heard most or all of the three versions of the songs you have mentioned, and more.

Lambert has not claimed anything as his own. Frankly, I don’t understand your obsession. Why not call out Kris Allen for his covers? (ie a Little known band in AK or Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova’s “Falling Slowly”? ). It doesn’t suit your purpose to do so. Lambert said, he found a version of “Ring of Fire”. “Mad World’s” Jules, himself (who only sung and did not arrange the song, by the by,) loved what Lambert did with it. As to “Feeling Good”, well, I though it was an interesting Sammy Davis Jr., channels Michael Buble ode to Muse. Original? You bet’cha! Grow up. Vote for who you like, instead of slamming other contestants.

Sorry if I double post

Adam Lambert is amazing. He is the gifted singer and entertainer I have ever seen. Wednesday night should be an embarrassment to AI. Interestingly, Adam Lambert’s “Feeling Good” led all Google searches Tuesday night, even beating out “swine flu”.
Now, either all the Adam voters didn’t vote because they were crusing the internet to watch “Feeling Good” again, or Wednesday night was a ratings stunt. Either way, it was reminiscent of “The Jerry Springer Show”. Very tacky, tasteless and cruel regardless of which contestant had to endure it.

I guarantee he is going to sing either dyer maker or all of my lover by zeppelin. Well at least i hope he does one of those songs

Lambert hasn’t ripped anyone one off. Just because a cover is not mainstream, doesn’t mean no one has ever heard it before. He has often given credit to others and to be fair, other contestants have also sung versions of songs without giving credit to the ‘original’. Where is the same outcry? Lambert, though clearly influenced by many, is totally unafraid to be himself. That is part of what makes him so different, so unique. I think it frightens people.

ADAM LAMBERT! COLOGNE, GERMANY LOVES YOU!!!!! Viel Glück

OH MY GOD!! who ever the idiots r that didnt vote for adam r retarded… he is the most amazing singer ever… who cares if he is GAY… hes also hot maybe the hottest gay guy u will ever see!!!

Adam Lambert’s covers are a direct result of his exposure to differnt types of music. Why is that bad? I like that he is heavily influenced by many differnt styles of music and shows. It a great way to educate the pubic and fun to listen too.

Looking at the two of them side-by-side in the bottom two, I wished it would have been the finale.
The two most exciting entertainers on the show. You never know what you are getting with them – the only two to change things up everytime. IMO, they are the best and will be the most marketable.

Adam is Amazing I don’t understand why people have to bash him.. he is the most talented contestant on AI hands down. The judges never have anything bad to say because there is nothing bad to say and Simon would be the first to say if he thought someone did something bad..but he can’t even do that with Adam because he is that good! I LOVE YOU ADAM!

I could not believe he was in the bottom three let alone the bottom 2?? OMG! and as for julie about alison i totally agree i cant believe she had more votes than him!! i am a huge adam lambert fan! hes amazing! i was completely shocked! but at least he is safe! and will be staying! he so deserves to win this GO ADAM LAMBERT!

ADAM IS THE BEST CONTESTANT EVER TO BE IN AI PERIOD … NO ONE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE DESERVE THAT IDOL LIKE ADAM DO HE IS THE BEST EVEEEER PERIOD . I HOPE HE WINS CUZ HE HAVE THE WHOLE FINE PACKEG TO BE A SUPER STAR … WHICH HE ALREADY IS.. GO ADAM U R THE BEST ..

We have the “holy rollers” coming down on Adam……I no longer have respect for Danny, after reading posts from his supporters on newsday.com, I was disappointed…I’m an Adam supporter, but I liked Danny(never voted for him!)…I learned he classified himself as an christain and has a “holy roller” following. I have a strong faith in God and a good relationship with him and I’m taken back that he even had to put it out there “I’m a christain” for a singing competition… your inner self speaks through your actions to let people know who you are…Danny’s fan base are people who do not seem to accept the idea that God created us all equally and that we are to treat others as we ourselves would want to be treated…Since he put it out there, I’m going to make a comment about the christain thing…I’m ashame of you, Danny & your “holy roller” fan base using my God to try to destroy Adam…Vote vote vote! Adam needs our votes……

Okay, let’s not let our anger subside over the week-end. We have to remember how humiliating Ryan’s ‘hands on’ approach was to Adam and to the rest of us. They went for ratings and instead will probably lose all of us after this season (or after the next show if they don’t apologize to Adam). I also agree that Randy and Kara were disgusting with their hugs after seeing Adam literally pushed to the other side. Perhaps we should all write AT&T and Ford, who sponsor the show. Writing Fox would be meaningless because they were the ones who probably staged all of the disgusting behavior. Anyway, channel our anger into votes and make it clear Adam is miles above the other (good but not stars) singers. I don’t think they will apologize so we remain only for Adam’s sake!!!!! I don’t think I can watch anything that Ryan or any of the judges are on anymore.

Is anyone able to cite where Danny is calling for votes because he is a Christian? I think if everyone sees this they will be repulsed by such an effort. Do they just assume that Adam in NOT a Christian? Why? Because he is gay? Lots of gay individuals are Christians. Talk like this should not even be a factor in choosing the American Idol of 2009! But if it is being used against Adam, we do need to get that out there so others know it!

Is there a lawyer out there? Did Ryan’s pushing meet the standard of an ‘assault’? Would love to see him pushed off the stage in handcuffs. I hope he knows how many ethical rules he broke last Wed. He probably would not care.

Simon, Simon, Simon. You are obviously the strongest of the judges. Do you think what Ryan did to Adam is morally justifiable? I will be very disappointed if at least you don’t say something because Adam has been such a kind gentleman through out this entire series. He deserved better.

How in the world could Adam Lambert be in the bottom 2? If he does not win, I would never watch Idol again, there is NO competition in the show this year. Adam is a rising star, HANDS DOWN! I look forward all week, to just watch him. He’s someone I’ll remember.

You can vote over and over again the entire 2 hours. I saw a few posts that said 10 times. OMG people that’s why he was in the bottom – you have to vote the whole time! REDIAL for ADAM!!!

Does anyone know if Danny or pastors are really pushing the ‘Christian’ angle? When did religion enter into this contest? Is Adam Jewish? Does Adam’s being gay have anything to do with American Idol? And why do they think Adam should not be a Christian’s choice. He has worked hard all his life in the theater and at concerts trying to bring joy to people. He at least has brought a lot of joy in this season’s contest. Just listen to upset his fans are over his treatment on Wed. It is not because he might lose. It is because he has been so dignified all season but was treated as if he was, as one writer put it, a rag doll for Ryan to push around. Why also did not the judges come out and say that the person they raved about each and every week was suddenly in the bottom three? How can one find out what the votes really were? Since so many think this has been rigged, why not release the vote totals??

Doreena: some of us DID vote the whole two hours but got soooo many busy signals. Now that sounded like he was getting a lot of votes. I tried the others and got through right away. So how do we know that someone was not blocking our votes because they wanted Wed night’s drama to boost ratings?

adam’s voice is so mermerizing. he’s the reason i watch ai…ans i’m sure he’ll be a star, with or without the help of ai&co.

Its my prediction something went wrong when people voted using #10 – or tried to – I think it registered as #1 (Kris) – Sorry Kris – you received a lot of Adams vote in error.
Adam – you are awesome – don’t let this throw you – no double digit votes from here on in!!!

ADAM is incredible. He is so talented, good-looking, and repectful.

Last week was a setup. AI thought it was becoming too much of the ADAM LAMBERT SHOW and not a competition. People are only interested in watching ADAM. AI just wanted to shake things up.

People also have to vote. And, as others are doing, they have to vote repeatedly.

COMPLETELY AGREE… we need some zep from adam and it better come in rock week

PHONE LINES were BUSY for ADAM!!! Does anyone know how we go about letting the producers know that the phone lines for Adam were busy or the calls didn’t go through?

Also, I have read on other sites about AI not wanting someone like Adam to win – I can’t believe they would let the best and most talented contestant EVER on AI be voted off by screwing with the votes.

And there is talk of President Obama & Family coming to see a live performance. If this happens – I would hope that they don’t mention their favorite contestant – It might sway votes don’t ya think.

I agree about the way Ryan treated Adam – I felt so bad for him – but it made for good tv. Just look how upset we all are – we need to blow them away next week. Vote vote vote!!

Adam is overrated. He sounds like Axl Rose. Matt was far more talented.

I hope Kris steals the whole thing.

i still dont believe adam got fewer votes than allison. now i actually wish they kept the judges same till now..
this is the first time in 8 years that i actually google someone from american idol…. and be sure this is the last year il be watchin if adam goes home… the only thing that makes me sit through 1-2 hours of crap is waiting for adam to perform… i used to just watch the finally cuz i wod never care who won… but this year im hooked on AI just cuz of adam

Really hurt to see Adam in bottom two… Adam is the best singer ever been on AI.

wow I just laughed out loud..someone actually thinks Matt is more talented than Adam! Adam is the most talented contestant on AI hands down. I think the judges would have been praising someone besides Adam every week if they were better..but they praise Adam because he is absolutley AMAZING!

omg im in love with adam if he does not make it to the finale and win then im not watching american idol ever again because he is honestly the most talented person who has ever been on this show. who else did Simon always compliment? lol

I cant belive Adam was in the bottom three! what were these people thinking? Adam is THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPEND TO AMERICAN IDOL IN A LONGGGGG TIME! I cant stand Allison or Dany hes annoying.
I really hope Adam wins he deserves to WIN He is the talented of them all.Go Adam win win win

So last week Simon started the vote skewing by suggesting Alison may not make it past that week. So what happens? Everyone believes Adam is 100% safe and vote to save Alison. Well, folks, disregard the comments from the judges when you vote.

The studio version of “Feeling Good” is Adam’s best recording on AI yet. I’ve listened to it dozens of times since I downloaded it, it’s perfection!

Wednesday’s results were definitely a fix… As for Ryan, he suffers from Napoleon complex, especially when standing next to Adam, lol. Hence the rude treatment. Not surprisingly Angelina snubs him every time, Seacrest totally deserves it.

Has the entire world gone crazy?! How on earth has Adam gotten this far with this over-the-top falsetto, song butchering, drag queen makeup stage musical crap? Every week, in between laughing and throwing up, I can’t, for the life of me, understand how he is still in the competition. I feel like I’m on Candid Camera and everybody’s in on the joke but me.

First of all Jeff doesnt know what hes talking about Adam is the best thing to happen to idol in a longggg time! Everytime he sings he pulls you in and is with the audience.So he wears black eyeliner and flaunts him self soo what?He is the reason i watch Idol if he had gotten booted off last week i would not watch the show.He is entertaining and always comes up with something great.
Vote for Adam he is the best!

Instead of “pulled in” I think everyone has been “sucked in”. It blows me away that actual respected music critics go for this guy. If he wins, that will be it for me an American Idol.

I think AI’s votes should be tabulated and certified by a company like Price Waterhouse that does the Oscars!! This is beginning to look like what happened to Clay Aitkin. I tried to vote for Clay for 2 hrs during the final and never got thru on the phone lines. Imagine my surprise when Studderd won! I was so upset that I emailed many places voicing my complaint about it, but never heard anything. I vote by text on my wireless AT & T now. I want to change providers, but will not until AI is over. I want my votes to at least get thru!!!!!!!

Ive been reading the comments and i totally agree that adam is the best!! the way he sings hejust makes you melt.No other Idol can do that.I really hope tuesday night
america votes for the right one who deserves to win and that would be….ADAM! go adam love you all the way from toronto

I’m so glad someone else put in a plug for adam singing zeppelin! i’ve been waiting for that the whole season!

he’s by far the best contestant to ever grace the stage – look how ridiculous all the guest singers sound on that stage after hearing him!

I would love him to do Zeppelin, imagine how he would perform “Immigrant Song” or a different version of “Stairway to Heaven”. He would do “Heroes” by Bowie good, also “We are the Champions.” I heard a rumor he is going to sing “Welcome to The Jungle” which will rock as well. He is fantastic this guy, can’t wait until tomorrow. Everyone! VOTE!VOTE!VOTE! We will be for 2 hours straight.

Adam needs to stick to the theater. His overly-prepared appearance and just smooth enough performances have grated on my nerves long enough. He would be excellent in a musical setting because he is such an actor. America needs a real Idol, one to whom they can relate. I just don’t see anyone relating to the shmoozy Broadway baby.

If adam does not win AI i may die. N im certaintly neva watching again. Votevotevote… N woofwoofwoof omg hes so hot n so great that omgomgomg i

I want to respond to those who are wondering about christians voting for Danny vs. not voting for Adam. I am a christian, I am older than all of you, female and a Sunday school teacher. I vote every week for Adam. He is the best contestant ever to be on AI. Christians are not anti-Adam. Some may vote for Danny because they have their religion in common with him, while others will vote for who they think is the best. All my friends and family are christians and all are Adam fans except for two. That’s about 10 to 2. So most christians will judge Adam only on his talent, I’m certain. So vote, vote, vote the whole two hours, all you Adam fans out there!!!

I LOVE Adam Lambert. He brings joy and excitement to music! I have to forward through many bland performances on Idol each week (from contestants and guest ’stars’ alike) just so that I can hear Adam. This is by far the best contestant to ever appear on Idol, the rest are forgettable. It’s thrilling to have someone in the music world today who is that talented. Adam is a legend in the making, and I am happy to be voting for him every week, he deserves every bit of it.

Erin Joy is just echoing the silliest thinking that is held by the minority! Saying that people are not relating to Adam is like saying that the sky is not blue. Adam has many fans. This is undeniable. Also, Erin and the rest of the minority opinion have a very narrow idea of rock/pop artists. They have a misconception of rock/pop history. Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Prince, and Elvis were all theatrical creative performers. And they’re the creme de la creme in American rock/pop idolatry! But hey, Erin, don’t feel so bad. There will always be room for mediocrity in the music industry. You’ll still be able to idolize your brand of Idol…the Taylor Hicks and Miley Cyrus idols are always falling off the idol factory assembly lines. Enjoy yourself.

I don’t know why some people say Adam needs to stick to theater he is by far the best AI EVER. Don’t you think if he needed to stick to theater the judges would say something negative about his performances? They can’t though because he has everything the voice, he is so respectful, and just a great performer. Adam I LOVE YOU! You are the only reason I watch AI every one else is so predictable and boring.

Adam Lambert is phenomenal! We Need theatrics in this mad world. We love adam Lambert here! BOCHOLT, GERMANY…XOXOX GO ADAM LAMBERT!

Adam, you’re HOT! that’s all I can say – you are the best and most talented contestant that American Idol has ever had. All you nay-sayers can go jump in the lake!
Adam, you’re simply the best……better then all the rest

Adam, you’re HOT! that’s all I can say – you are the best and most talented contestant that American Idol has ever had. All you nay-sayers can go jump in the lake!
Adam, you’re simply the best……better then all the rest

Adam, you are brilliant! You’ve put in your time working hard to get here and it is now finally YOUR time – enjoy!! We love you.

adam is the best!!!every1 needs 2 vote adam!!!all the rest are ok but adam is in a class of his own when he enters the stage. i was in love with him since his audition. he will b the next AI, if not, ill never watch the show again cause hes the real deal, VOTE ADAM!!!

On Idol Wrap (TV guide channel)last week, when they showed the clip of Adam singing, it said that Adam would love to perform Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin on American Idol. I don’t think he will do it though since the song is controversial and probably most of the American Idol’s core audience has never heard of it. By the way, I am a major Zeppelin fan.

Is it strange that a lot of the comments are from middle aged women and more mature populations. I am wondering whether it is why Adam was at the bottom 2 last week. He is not the idol of the young generation after all.

I find it funny that someone said Adam is not for the young generation..I am 20 years old and I am absolutley in love with Adam…he is gorgeous…SO talented and a great performer that has me mesmorized the entire time, its like his performance last 2 seconds while the others drag out. More than half the people I know voting for him are around my age…GO ADAM!

Adam Lambert is Australia’s Iol 2009!! Vote for us America, we only watch your show to see this amazing guy perform!

Anyone out there that can give me explicit instructions on how I can vote for Adam here in Canada. We fans in Canada are just as concerned about nearly losing him as his American fans. Adam is a gift to the world and we would like to be able to support him and thank him for sharing that with us too. Please don’t just vote tonight – VOTE FOR THE FULL TWO HOURS, USE TWO PHONES, TEXT TOO. ADAM GIVES US FANS HIS ALL EVERY WEEK AND IS DEPENDING ON US NOW!!!!!GIVE HIM YOUR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR ADAM!
he needs your votes! He is the best there is out there i only watch Idol because of him he is wonderfull and amazing Vote Vote Vote Adam!

Adam rocked it tonight! And his duet with Allison was awesome!

Absolutely amazing ~ to quote Randy “Adm is the Bomb!”

Adam was fantastic as usual. I am dialing to vote & typing. I am getting error saying the number I dialed is out of service some times. Got thru most of the time. This guy is unreal, I hoped he would do Led Zeppelin. He is awesome. Down to the final stretch Adam Lambert. You could see the finish line ahead. The duet with Allison was excellent as well. He is so gifted this man.

Adam Lambert, thank you for sharing your amazing gift with the rest of us, you are truly special and inspiring.

Whats with these crazy females that think there in love with Adam….. get a clue…. he is only interested in the fellows.. so don’t make yourself look like an idiot.
Now, Adam is definitely a great singer, and his orientation should not have anything to do with his career. Believe me when I say, the winner has already been picked. It was picked months ago. These episodes are purely for ratings and stupid females who think Adam might look their way… NOT !!!!!!

Adam. Soon, he’ll be known simply as Adam. Just as Elvis was – well, Elvis. As a teenager when Elvis borrowed “Blue Suede Shoes” from Carl Perkins, and in answer to the blog above that he always borrowed from others, yes he did – and what he did with those songs made him an original. Still, until he did the gospels, the true range of his voice was never appreciated. Adam has the same star quality and, managed correctly, his career will be just as spectacular. I imagine the Vegas lights saying simply, “Adam”. And I imagine being there.

VOTE ADAM all the way!! I will not watch AI again if he does not win.. full sham if that Danny wins.. ugh

We have to battle with Kris’ huge fans. This is a VOTING WAR. Vote 4 hours for Adam !!! DON’T SAY , JUST VOTE VOTE VOTE…

ADAM IS THE MOST TALENTED SINGER/ENTERTAINER WE HAVE HAD IN YEARS. I LOOK FORWARD EACH WEEK TO HEAR ,AND SEE WHAT HE WILL DO. WE ARE FORTUNATE HE WENT ON AMERICAN IDOL,SO HIS TALENT CAN BE SHARED WITH HIS FANS WORLDWIDE.
I DID NOT LIKE IT WHEN RYAN ASKED HIM TO GO TO THE GROUP HE THOUGHT HE WAS IN. I DIDN’T CATCH THE PUSH RYAN DID,WHICH WAS IN THE COMMENTS. THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE RYAN A PUSH OUT THE BACK DOOR. ADAM IS NOT ONLY POLITE , RESPECTFUL AND HUMBLE HE CAN HIT NOTES I DIDN’T THINK WERE POSSIBLE.
