Its just internal for him! Does that mean you have to vote for him if you don't like his style? Of course not -but no doubt that boy has pipes! :D"<br />I actually don't fine adam to be full of himself - I guess 'indulgent' is a good word for him when he's singing, but when he's not, I think he has always behaved with an incredible amount of poise and humility that is rare in an American idol-<br />One last thought - I think there is a HUGE difference between being critical of the job someone is doing and slamming them personally- just my thoughts :D Thanks for reading, friends!"The Landlord"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04036876700649259509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24556283.post-36938460266577775662009-05-15T11:20:00.000-07:002009-05-15T11:20:00.000-07:00I think what people are doing is judging Adam on p...I think what people are doing is judging Adam on personality. He comes off as full of himself.<br />Lots of people like the underdog and Adam has never acted like that.<br />When it comes to "nice" Danny Gokey was the winner.<br />As for a performer being egotistical, who'd a thunk it? That's show biz.<br />It was interesting to watch the British version of a talent show (a la Susan Boyle). Not exactly the same format, but it highlights the talent without all the trappings of American Idol.<br />Simon was saying it's all about singing, but the AI contestants obsess over choreography, make-up, hair styles, and costumes.<br />And we all get annoyed with the contestant who reminds us every week, "I'm gonna win this."<br />So, what I'm saying is that people vote for who they "like" and that means different things to different people.<br />Some folks are rather crass when they share their opinions. (Me too sometimes, though not about singers.)<br />~Dad HD and S Heatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202138667494958772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24556283.post-29207675918054187892009-05-14T20:03:00.000-07:002009-05-14T20:03:00.000-07:00I don't like Adam.

I don't see anything new or amazing about him.<br /><br />But then, America will buy anything, look at our other voted leaders...misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178680426928078460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24556283.post-74498378254664899682009-05-14T16:42:00.000-07:002009-05-14T16:42:00.000-07:00I have my own opinions and my likes a dislikes, bu...I have my own opinions and my likes a dislikes, but I must agree, slamming on someone is not what the competition is about. We (as in "the American viewing public"...not necessarily myself) are choosing an artist based on that talent and the market for such talent. And, those of us who are sad that a certain contestant got fewer or more votes can't complain too much while we silently watch and don't vote. =) I will be interested to see how it pans out...and, I AM rooting for the underdog.Boyd Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137908536538797383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24556283.post-70628877200316573802009-05-14T10:37:00.000-07:002009-05-14T10:37:00.000-07:00When I saw the title post, I thought you were goin...When I saw the title post, I thought you were going to be writing all about the results show. I don't know what youtubers are saying about Adam, but now that you mention it, I am not going to look it up! Are you looking forward to next week as much as I am?! Want to come over and watch with me?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508748711982895055noreply@blogger.com
