Canadian Idol Fans Watching American Idol

[SleepinIn]

Mary's on now. Argh! (hate)

I can't see Alex making it either and I agree - have crazy hate for Melisma singing. AAaaAAAAaaaAAA

Mother's should not be allowed on camera during Hollywood week.

I don't know what's going on with Rickey - why can't people just ignore him? But from what I can gather - I think he said something about Kris, Adam and Allison talking to Jim now when they didn't pre-album release, and then a lot of people put their two cents in. It's a bit ridiculous. I mean rickey's not one of my favourite people but you can just ignore him.

The Kradison interview was hilarious. I loved it. They even talked about Kris's hair and scruff, lmao.

ETA: Have to check out David's vlog after Lost

Someone on Pulse posted that LLWD just hit top 40 (it's #40) in Canada.. whoot! Maybe Chum will add it someday. /wistful dream

I think that snide tone is prevalent in a lot of articles regarding the people from AI, and not just articles about Kris or even articles from Asia. I actually didn't mind that article at all. It was snide and yes I didn't agree with a lot of their opinions, but I felt that they tried a little bit harder to show the whole picture. And I think the guy geniuinely came out impressed with Kris.

I guess I minded it.

 

[missaddicted]

You're watching Lost instead of the second hour of AI?

I'm warching with a bit of a delay since I had a phone call, but they didn't show that many performances, did they?

Ack, Mary. Yuck, yuck.

Aaron Kelly is like David Archuleta #2, isn't he?

Did Janell sing a Taylor Swift song? She lost major points with me there. And I actually agreed with Kara that it was the wrong song. I hate agreeing with Kara.

Lee sang that song I hate, hate, hate from The Fray, so I was immediately repulsed, but I do like his voice.

Joe Munoz is also fodder. The dude looked so boring.

The others are kind of a blur. I liked Tasha, but she didn't make it.

Yay for LLWD reaching Top 40 in Canada!

This was mainly the part I minded:

"Making an album, there are things that I would want." And while he says he feels "pretty good at how the album turned out," it was clear that it has not met his own personal expectations.
So much so, that even the 'coronation tune', No Boundaries, co-written by Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, did not make it into his debut

Huh??

— breaking away from Idol tradition.
"Well, I just felt there were better stuff to put on the album.
"The studio version is on iTunes, if people wanted they could get it there but I feel that it has run its course."
While staying away from reading album reviews, Allen is aware that he has yet to find his sound.
The critics have been quick to point out his albums lacks maturity and direction as opposed to Lambert's debut.
And that doesn't even include the updated comparisons on the sales of their respective albums. The comparisons don't irk him, especially when he avoids reading reviews, but Allen finds the whole scenario amusing.
"It's not disturbing, but it's funny that people would even try comparing him to me.
"It doesn't make sense at all because he does his thing and I do my thing and it has worked for both of us."
As for lack of direction — he admits that writing and producing is hard.
"And to come off the show and go straight into that kind of ..... ETC.

Sorry, but this is just a lot of disinformation and BS.

 

[missaddicted]

Yeah, I didn't read the whole article, but these quotes sound like a lot of BS!

Hey, we saw another of Kris' Ford commercials tonight. The one about the leaves and the "yeah, yeah, yeah"'s from AWM at the end.

Is that episode so very long, or is it just me? Especially since I already know the results! At least, we're seeing a bit more singing than I thought we would earlier. We saw a bit more of Katelyn Epperly. She should stop milking the divorce, because it's more annoying than inspiring, but I like her voice so far. I don't love it, but we'll see.

I still like Didi very much, but she's already approaching Brooke White levels of emotion and tears... and she's hasn't made the finals yet. Is she really strong enough to do this?

 

[ross 1]

I didn't watch all that close. We're having a snowstorm and I had to go out and clean off the car and move it for the plow, etc. Ugh!

Minority opinion (?) -- I like Alex Lambert. Maybe not for AI, but I liked listening to him, I thought he had a likeable voice.

Didi...who I've already started calling "Ditzy", to myself...I mean, she's a grown-up, right? Because she acts like she's 11. (maybe she's 16...I don't know. Anyone know?)

Dude...if Ellen says, "Don't pick me up -- my back," dude.....don't pick her up.

 

[ross 1]

I caught the Kris commercial (barely). Huge close-up. I think he's a great spokeperson. Thing is, people who never watched Idol before probably have no idea who he is. It would be good if he was identified. But it wouldn't go with the spirit of the ad.

 

[missaddicted]

Yeah, I kinda liked Alex's voice as well, but I just thought he had no personality, no spark when he sang. It was a bit empty for me. But my problem was not necessarily with his voice.

Didi is 24 I believe. I don't think she acts like she's 11, but she's certainly emotionally unstable.

We saw another Kris commercial! The "everyone is good at talking" one. Did we see the fourth one? I only saw these two but I was fast-forwarding the commercials.

No matter what Lee said, the guy didn't look that confident. I mean, I think he knows what he can do musically, but he doesn't look that confident overall. I hope he'll do well in the semis.

So, 7 have been announced, 17 left for tomorrow. At least, we see them all singing! I hope it'll continue tomorrow, because it's refreshing for AI! They always hide some people usually *coughKriscough*.

 

[missaddicted]

Oh and Kara really has it bad for Casey James. It's kinda disturbing.

 

[SleepinIn]

The part you minded was the part I disagreed with. So I can't say you're wrong about that bit AT ALL.

And yep, watched Lost instead of hour 2. I'll try to catch it on the West coast feed.

So they played 2 Kris commercials?? Awesome! Plus then I get the commericals I like the thought of AWM seeping into people's consciousness. Little earworm that it is.

 

[ross 1]

And.....guys, please VOTE (if you want to...can't make ya) but the Adam stans are very organized. I think some spend literally hours voting. I'm not saying it has to be a competition between these two. Just that Adam is the one to beat due to his very devoted fans. Anyway, I'm voting, js.

I only saw one Kris commercial.

Casey James is good. I actually think he's possibly kind of stupid, though. (Unlike Kris, for ex., who people seem to think is stupid. In fact, under that article we were talking about, someone posted, "Kris is stupid." But...no. Not stupid.)

___Vh1 Top20 Countdown! ___"Adam's WWFM is #1 Excellent Job!!!!! CONGRATS! Let's keep it @#1 2/20 Adam gonna be Guest on Vh1!" | The Official Adam Lambert Site

"It only takes one hour to vote 500 times," it says in there, somwhere.

 

[missaddicted]

Is Adam somewhere funny tonight?

From Metric's twitter:

If I told you where I was right now you would laugh. Do people still actually DJ "let's hear it for the boy"? Yes, yes they do.

Demi Moore looks fab! Adam Lambert is trying to eat a chicken skewer with goth gloves on and Parker Posey rules.

Random!

Going to watch the Kradison interview now and vote for VH1.

 

[ross 1]

KRADISON INTERVIEW IS AWESOME.

Not long enough. Reggae No Boundaries? I'm singing it right now. It works, mon.

 

[ross 1]

Adam is going to Australia, etc....unusual this early in the game...I smell a master plan to make him a big star overseas and then bring him back to the US in a blaze of glory.

(BTW, sad that apparently Kris's album is still not available in Australia, and I guess LLWD is not available on iTunes there, either. Or so I read in posts from an Australian Kris fan on MJ's blog.)

PS. Not meaning rudeness, but be prepared if you watch the interview full screen, because poor Adam has seriously bad skin. I'm just trying to prepare you, because I was like, "whoa, dude."

Love to see Kris being so comfortable in this interview, being funny, etc. Awesome.

 

[missaddicted]

Ha!! I loved the Kradison interview! Kris' high-pitched "Really? Really? Really?" had me in stitches, I rewound that part like 6 times.

 

[ross 1]

I know, that was hilarious. Adam was funny, too. Kris is so different than he was back when these three first did those interviews for Good Morning LA! Not that I think he's changed, probably. He's just really getting more at home on camera. It's funny, with him, he'll grow noticibly in a very short time. Like, if I check out a video of his from three weeks ago, and compare it to now, it'll be obvious he's grown.

ETA: There's this person on the blog... it seems to be the same troll as on TWoP! This one calls itself Neil, and Mitchell, and KNA, and AML (the middle names of Kris and Adam, and their initials. But for some reason is anti-Kris). Seems like all the same person. There are two weirdly incongrous, negative posts by "Neil" and "Mitchell" in the middle of all the positive posts about the Kradison interview, for ex.

On Top Idol they call people who have "three faces" like these "sockpuppets." I have no idea why -- anybody know? Just curious.

 

[missaddicted]

Okay, I seriously hope Lee Dewyze will be on his game during the semis, cause I've been listening to some of his music while voting for VH1 and I'm impressed.

This is a noisy bar, but his higher register sounds fantastic.

YouTube - Lee DeWyze at Victory Liquors - 10.16.09

And he has 2 albums on iTunes and I'm definitely considering buying some of his music, it's good!

Adam is going to Australia, etc....unusual this early in the game...I smell a master plan to make him a big star overseas and then bring him back to the US in a blaze of glory.

That's what I think too. I also wonder if that's why Kris hasn't been really pushed in Canada or Australia. But maybe I'm paranoid. I like both of them so it sort of irks me.

I got distracted tonight, started watching Barenaked Ladies at the Olympics concert and didn't make it back to the AI feed. It's pretty hard to resist these Olympic concerts, it's like Canada Day on Parliament Hill but it lasts 2 weeks, with everyone wearing goofy (or stylish..depends on your taste..) team Canada gear and singing and bouncing along looking happy. Tis fun. I'm wondering how Hedley and Billy Talent will be...

Voted earlier.. but will definitely vote again.

I loved Kris saying to Adam that he should duet with La Roux. Kris is musically smart. That's one of the things I adore about him. He's just got GREAT taste in music. Miley Cyrus notwithstanding.

Okay, I'm curious. Can I get these bands on my TV?? I mean, will I be able to see Hedley?

SleepinIn, the AI season so far is less than riveting, so I tend to drift, also. Like, I could have waited to go out and do storm-related stuff, but I went during the show.
