Quote "carolb":
Adam Lambert is Elvis, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and David Bowie all rolled into one, amazing singer, performer and entertainer. Nigel might as well give up because he will never find another one like this fabulous man! They found their international super star in Season 8 and they might as well call it a day!

Change "Adam Lambert" to "Clay Aiken" and the "8" to a "2" and you get exactly what the Claymates said before season 3. They also said "Idol found, game over." We all know how that turned out, and Clay was a hell of a lot more talented than Madame.

Hey my penis is clean and has been in less twink ass than Madam's.

So in other words, yours have never been in twink ass (since Madame is a power bottom)?

I knew the minute I saw the post that Carob wouldn't be able to stay away from this one.

Instead of going for a clone of someone (GaGa, Taylor Swift, etc), why don't they look for someone new and original? I mean, do they want another Adam Lambert (who was a spectacle) or Taylor Hicks (who move)?

I remember last year AI was looking for a "Taylor Swift" and got Lee and Crystal. I mean, why don't they just look for someone who will start a trend and not imitate one?

Duh! It's a Karaoke show!

Plus it is pretty funny that Nigel says he is looking for someone who "moves" when, in the audition room, there is a mark on the floor that the auditioners are told to stand on! Plus Taylor Hicks is the Idol that "moves' the most and we know how that turned out!

The only person that comes to mind for making a career out of 'covers' is Joe Cocker which is the exception that proves the rule that the Idol has to ultimately be doing original material; but the process is not designed to identify those with the confluence of talent, charisma, moves and soul to deliver original material.

I believe that we will continue to see white guys with guitars succeed. As the show's audience dwindles, the voting base will become even heavier skewed towards moms. The teenagers have jumped ship. Unless there's an adorable Bieber clone (a strong possibility) next season, they won't watch it. I'm 22. I have three younger siblings. All three say it's uncool to watch Idol. They're all too busy with the jersey shore and shit.

So Idol, to maintain ratings, you either need to win your teenagers back with a child-star plant, or just scrap it completely and throw lots of bait to the cougars. Either way the show is done.

Now THERE'S an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. But you're right. Everything about Justin Bieber is hideous, and that's exactly what Idol needs to take it out of the doldrums.

All of the stars of the show move.

You mean like Madame whose "promising" career ended up in a Walmart bargain bin like so many other young hopefuls? I pity the next batch of poor, misguided fools...

CORRECTION: It was a WALGREENS bargin bin. I assure you, that is much worse. Walgreens never puts anything on sale unless 1) they get the item really cheap from the manufacturer OR 2) are stuck with a lot of slow moving stock.
