That was the best show they've done, what a great assortment of talent they assembled!

I've been waiting for weeks to hear Adam sing Queen.

I did want to hear him sing Queen, but I am with Toni, he's no Freddie Mercury.

Most of these folks on Idol are very, very good, but not necessarily true originals.

Time will tell whether either of them has true vocal originality. The fact that I kept thinking for weeks and weeks that Adam needed a Queen song suggested to me he is acting. He's got some real technical ability, but I don't hear his own sound. The screeching was not pleasant or interesting - but I did like him anyway. Enjoyed the technical ability, but haven't yet heard something signature.

Someone like Rod Stewart singing, without the technical ability of an Adam or a Danny, yet he's rock royalty and neither of them can bring the original "sound" to the table that a Rod Stewart can.

There is this ineffable "it" factor that folks have or they don't.

Much as Danny Gokey could sing, he can't hold a candle to Lionel's Ritchie's delivery for instance. Only part of that is being seasoned - those guys wouldn't be the royalty they are if they didn't have "it" to begin with.

So my long winded way of saying, as much as I enjoyed Adam, his technical ability, he really is eye-catching, I'm still not sure he's got "it" in terms of signature sound. I haven't heard it yet.

I thought Adam was going to win, hoped Kris would, but was disappointed for Adam. I think kris brings something authentic to the table, although I don't yet have a sense of whether he has a signature sound either. I don't think it was rigged - I just think Kris is more mainstream and appealed to a larger portion of the public.
