  I don't watch American Idle but I do listen to some You Tube spots when I see someone praised on the news.
I listened to Adam Lambert this morning with his rendition of "Black and White" and all I can say is "Wow".
What struck me the most however was how much he looks like a young version of Elvis. He has the same nose
and eyes and of course coloring. I wonder if they will do any of Elvis's songs, the comparison would be interesting
although his voice is quite a bit higher. He looks younger than 27.

Adam L. *is* different ~ he screams a lot. And I listen to a lot of artists who scream. He reminds me of the guy who won Rock Star: Supernova.

Many of the forerunners were "okay" last night and some of the weaker ones were really great. Poor Anoop dropped the ball big thyme. He is definitely going home.

They could do Elvis songs this year. They haven't revisited them since Season 5.

Did you see Alexis Grace's performance of "Lady Diana"? Holy moley! She needs to get away from the black wardrobe though.

  That was the only thing I've heard him sing and I thought it was great but it could have been just that one
song. I haven't listened to anyone else. His looks just struck me as being so much like Elvis. Read comments
that he was gay but don't know if that is true. I will probably listen to You tube videos when they get down
more. I really can't watch these kind of shows, I seem to have a phobia on watching reality shows of any kind.

You're silly. Watch this other performance of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

  I don't like that one as well and it looks like he realizes the resemblance with Elvis because he did a lot
of looks and sneers typical of him. His voice is too high on this one couldn't watch it all.

Try this on for size: Adam as Joshua in "The Ten Commandments - The Musical" starring Val Kilmer

The end was a little scary. But hey, he does have chops.

PS. He is a cabaret singer. Simon, are you listening?

  Talented kid. I thought Idle was supposed to be unknowns. Looks like he has definitely worked in the biz.

I just can't seem to get interested in any of them this year. I have a heart for the 'roughneck', cuz my grandpa was one....but I just can't sit through some of them...maybe after they weed out a few I'll start watching.

Was supposed to be. Now it's anyone who doesn't have a contract with 19 Entertainment or J Records.
