Canadian Idol Fans Watching American Idol

I read worse than Maroon 5. Some people said that the chorus sounded like The Macarena. I didn't even try to make the connection... I don't want to think about The Macarena when I listen to LLWD.
SleepinIn, did you watch Glee? Those football players doing the Single Ladies choreography totally made my night.

Yes!! Hee.. that was pretty awesome, and then the father son moment.. *sniff*
and I don't get macarena either. When I see those angry posts on the youtube videos it kinda makes me secretly happy (is that wrong?) because it means that they feel threatened by Kris.
When I listened to the Script version, originally, I heard the Macarena similarity.
[missaddicted, don't read this next part if you don't want to make the connection.] It's on, "We got to liiiiive like we're dying". It's similar to "ehhhhh, Marcarena." I guess other people hear this, also. But I hadn't thought of it since then. I don't think it matters a lot.
I didn't listen to the song on YouTube (I have the Elvis Duran page favorited. I think that version sounds pretty decent, quality-wise). Are there angry comments? Why are people angry? Or feeling threatened? It's a song. A frakkin' song.
In the words of Kris Allen: Thanks, Lambskanks. Is there a place to go to get away from this ****? Tell me 'cause I need to go there! Freaking envious, bitter people! (Probably 13-year-olds, but, still. :roll

They don't just want Adam to succeed. Kris has to fail. Or, somehow, be made to look insignificant. Yeah, I guess it only proves that Kris threatens these people. It's kind of like what I was saying about the comments on interviews. People will comment negatively on anything. You just see so much anger and bitterness behind all these comments. What actually surprises me the most is that it's still going on four months after the finale. That's nuts.
That says it all.

Here's a pretty good refuge from the anger, no? We're perfecting the blah-de-blah-de-blah way of life anyway!
OK, I read the part but won't try to make the connection while listening to the song. It's just that I've got a disease. It's called "I got a song stuck in my head". Not sometimes. ALL the time. I hear a stupid ad jingle, it's stuck in my head. I hear an awful song on the radio: stuck in my head. I hear the Macarena while listening to LLWD? I'm doomed. There's a reason I'm pretty much always listening to music, then nothing stays in my head too long, not long enough to drive me crazy anyway!

A bit, but it was still a few years ago. I played both the clarinet and the sax alto while in high school in the school band and in a stage band. And I was in a small choir when I was in Cégep (when I was between 17 and 19). I haven't done anything else in the last 7 years. I would like to find another choir, but I haven't found a place that I really like. I'm definitely not a great singer, but I think I'm good enough for a choir. I sang a duet once when I was 19 and I was pretty much terrified. I didn't do it again! I'd like to learn to play guitar though, that would be nice. Now, I just pretty much listen to music all the time. Anyway, I don't know why I have this earworm "problem" but it can get on people's nerves if I have something stuck in my head and I keep repeating it over and over again! It just happens all the time.
Yeah! I like that. And it is a pretty good refuge over here. Haters to the left!!! LOL
(I never heard of Cegap. Had to Google it. I think I get it now.)
I played clarinet in junior high! I took piano lessons before that. I never really learned an instrument very well, though. I sing okay, but mainly I was into acting so the only time I sang in public was musicals in school. I also found singing terrifying onstage, even though I didn't feel like that about acting. I also was in the chorus in high school. I know what you mean, I tend to always be humming whistling, or singing something (sometimes aloud); luckily my boss also likes to sing and likes music so sometimes I'll start singing something and she'll finish it.
What about you, SleepinIn?

Some controversy surrounds Kris Allen's debut single
I went to Google news, and looked up Kris, and this came up!!
Controversy? There is no controversy!! This is not Milli Vanilli!! These examiner.com things are just nonprofessional things, anyone can write one, but there have been too many that have been negative about our boy as far as I'm concerned. The internet can be evil. I know, blah-de-blah-de-blah, right? But I hope these fools don't screw with this kid's career before he even releases his first single.
I've never seen any artist have to put up with attacks like this in my life. What did he do? (Oh, yeah. He won.) This is becoming ridiculous. I'm sure there will be a backlash against this backlash. I'm waiting for it. A bit impatient, now.
I know, I know, I'm supposed to be Zen, not let it bother me. And it actually will work for him in the end. Or, it won't hurt him. Whatever. I don't think the creeps will win. But it's been four months now. I'm getting sick of looking him up on Google News, expecting some simple, harmless news, and having to read crap. I guess it's beginning to get on my nerves. I'm probably beginning to get on a few nerves, myself. Sorry. 8O

I do - and it took my zen away. In fact it might have made me so mad that I wanted to reach through the computer screen. Yep, I was seething mad. That's right. Seething mad. (and I am a pretty zen blah-de-blah person!)
Truthfully, I don't think he had bad intentions - I don't know what the intentions were - but he posted a super, super glowing review of the people that Adam is working with, then followed that up with a super, super negative post saying that he'd heard songs from Kris's album and it was awful and he needed better songwriters.
I actually don't care if he has heard it and did think it's crap. He's entitled to an opinion just like anyone else. But what I did object to was him posting it to Kris. Now, he's already being followed by Kris so Kris will see it - but fine Kris has got to expect negative reviews. But it was sent to him directly, with the suggestion that you tweet him your support - and that made me really mad.
I actually think it has to do with another article he posted today where he interviewed another AI contestant that's done really well with songwriting. And the name he brings up is that he might be writing a song for Kris. Ultimately that's what my little antenna prick to. But I don't know.. seems like a pretty thoughtless thing to do. But it sure has stirred the pot. He's just lucky he wasn't sitting beside me because I think I might have thrown the pot at him.

Wow. I already had a really bad opinion of Rickey and this doesn't help at all. Seriously, he's full of crap. He's just a little blogger of no importance, there's no way he's heard songs from Kris' record. Kris himself said that they were not done at all with the recording.
I didn't read his posts and don't plan to do it. But wasn't he a huge Kris fan? Why is he trying to stir the pot?
What is your last paragraph about SleepinIn, I'm not sure I understand...

Yes, he is a Kris fan (he's also an Adam fan) - I don't think he's heard the songs either - mostly because I think they are still unfinished in some way or another - but even if he had heard the songs ... It was the wrong way to do something.
I think it has to do with blog traffic and promoting the artist that he interviewed as a songwriter for Kris. (Jared Cotter btw - who I guess was on AI and is writing songs now for people very sucessfully). I actually did like Rickey - and I think he had good intentions, and was button pushing the AI fandom. But seriously, SEETHING mad. I'm not even kidding.

I was so mad I had dinner with my mom and got into an argument. I was in such a total black mood. I guess that's why. I was never a fan of Rickey. I think he's a fool. But I never expected...
Well, I wasn't even sure what went down, but what I read on mj's blog didn't sound good. I was under the impression Kris's album was referred to as "an embarrassment."
My first thought was: Kris has never to my knowledge made any music that could be called an embarrassment. So he's unlikely to be doing that now. Also, he seems really happy with the progress of his album, and I don't think he's that good an actor. These were my thoughts at the time.
Anyhow, your theory makes some sense of it all, SleepinIn. Rickey promoting that songwriter. But it's still pretty disgusting and I have no use for him now.
Just goes to show that nowadays any idiot can have a blog and have influence.

Seriously, it's been a long time since I've felt this mad.
It was an awful thing to do to Kris. Period. Kris who is nice to EVERYONE. I can't even... still so mad.
Here's something else to vote for - Kris and Adam are nominated together.. I smell a win.
