Danny had me at Hello, since he performed a heck of I heard it through the grapevine. He was obviously this year's Tamaray, Chris, Jennifer Hudson etc. Sacrificed to a bloated caricature of Axl Rose, which, for some inscrutable reason, Simon decided was the Anointed (last pimpage spot secured, interviews with Oprah, undeserved smothering praise), and to a mediocre singer like Kris - there are hundreds like him playing in clubs and bars all over the world.
I'm finally done with the show too. Kara is an insufferable, useless bitch who made the show intolerable, and, as for Simon, I would have never thought that the pimpage of Carrie Underwood would be surpassed in the future. The Nerve.
Absolutely will vote for Kris... Adam is a one-trick lizard. He screams every song. He NEVER moves me emotionally as a singer/performer. Adam is a gimmick. His voice is forgettable if you strip it of the ear-piercing scream and high notes. Tonally it lacks warmth, whereas Danny Gokey's voice is rich and mellifluous... and he is ALWAYS in tune. This was a fiasco, plain and simple. Danny should've won this season.
For those of you who are surprised by the corruption of the show... uh, DUH! Every year the winner is chosen by the producers and judges, and we are manipulated throughout the season toward the finale.
I don't think "voting" had anything to do with it. The JUDGES wanted Adam to win and so the JUDGES eliminated the only real competition standing in Adam's way via concerted sabotage. AI has lost any shred of credibility it may have had, as far as I'm concerned. I won't watch it anymore. I can't wait for Danny's CD to drop though; I'll be the first in line to purchase it. I wish all the best for Danny - he is an amazing talent who, I'm sure, will go far.
Danny didn't deserve to go. He was the most talented and versatile contestant. He didn't have to do the same scream in every song. I would have voted for Adam next week if I hadn't had the misfortune of reading all of the nasty anti-Gokey comments from some his "caring and commpassionate" fan base. Danny would have given Adam a run for his money so they wanted him gone. Chris is now guaranteed to win the competition. Danny's fans won't vote for Adam. Too bad for Adam, he's very talented.
Brooke White's tears come from the authentic, good soul that she is. Her heart was breaking because she was overwhelmed with the experience she had with the show and the gift that it brought.
