I can't get that link to work??

I think there are some really good singers this time - I cannot pick one.
I think Allison, Adam and Kris are really strong vocalists, but I like the style of Megan and Matt because they are unique.

That isn't the same link I cant find that one again. But I really liked it when she sang that song.

And I wouldn't be upset if Alison, Adam, or Danny made it to the end.  Anoop is pretty good.  I haven't watched the last couple years of American Idol  but I am getting into it this yeat.  I really like the peple this year.

I must say I called Danny to win the first time I heard him sing.  I hope he takes it.

I'm not real good with the othe names, but I liked "Scott" at first, but now I just feel he's being carried.  I was sorry to see the oil rig guy go, thought it should have been "Scott".  Is that his name?  The boy who is visually impaired?  Everytime they sing their group song in the beginning of the show I'm not convinced he's really singing.    ???     Anyone else notice this and think the same as me?

You are all wrong.  Kirsten Flagstad is the winner by a long shot.

They were the best.
Though Helen Traubel was a pretty good Isolde, too.

I was surprised that anyone knew Melchio and Flagstad...  thought I'd put that in just for fun.  I have some old "one sided record albums" 

Never heard Helen Traubell.... well, just from some goofy TV shows but no serious singing.

She also sang with Lauritz Melchior--her Brunhilde to his Siegfried.

For some reason, this season has been the least "entertaining" to me but I still watch it because I just want to see what happens next and if for nothing else..............to look at Simon and to hear his comments.   I am sorry but I am one of those "weird" people who LOVES Simon Cowelll!

Anyways, to answer the question..............who do I "want" to win AI?     I would like for Danny to win it but I kinda think Adam will and if he does, he does, because he is good, talented and nice looking and all but I would just like to see Danny win it.

I don't find that weird at all!  I, also, love Simon!  And when I do my own personal "judging", my taste seems to be more in line with him.
I'll be happy with Danny or Adam, but I'm rooting for Danny all the way!  Although, the last two weeks when Adam had his hair slicked back and not as much, or any, makeup on I liked his appearance much better.

I love Simon too :2thumbsup;.  I like him because he is truthful.  If I was really up there I would want the truth.  Meh maybe that is just me.  But now that Megan is out of the game I want Danny or Adam to win.  And though I really like Adam, the stuff I like more of Adam I have a feeling he won't be doing once he is out of American Idol.

I've heard Adam described as the next "Prince".    I'm not a huge fan of the "high voice" male singers.  But make no mistake, Adam is talented.
