As much as I would love to see a Danny Vs. Adam finale, I know that nothing is a given on Idol. In my opinion, I thought Daughtry would definitely win Season 5 (Though I liked Taylor too), and I thought for sure that Archuleta had it in the bag last year (and he should have)! The point is, just because it makes sense for a contestant to make it to the finals or even win, nothing is written in stone. I suppose all we can do is vote our fingers off for our favorite, hope for the best, and try to be positive whatever the outcome! LOL That’s certainly an interesting thought, Kariann!

Wouldn't it be something if neither one was the winner? Welcome, Sylvia! It seems that both Adam and Danny have a strong fan base. Wouldn’t it be something if neither one was the winner?

Welcome, Sylvia!

He is incredibly talented and something that we have never seen before, making him truly special. Lots of great singers this season, but only one Adam Lambert. I can only hope that America is ready for him and his extraordinary talent. Hey Sylvia:

Thank you so much, MasterClassLady, for providing your fair and penetrating insights and this venue. This year's crop of singers certainly offers something for everybody. While I strongly suspect that Danny will win this in the end, I thank the astrological alignments for bringing Adam to the AI stage. He is splendid, and my crystal ball shows me a great future is in store for this gifted actor and vocalist. First time posting.

We have been posting together for a few years (I believe) and often agreed on things. Oh, Louise how unfortunate to get sick and not see Elliott. He was a favorite of mine, as well as Taylor. You know, they recorded a song together. Having both of them appear on AI again (together) would be a special treat! Galen, I was so envious of you getting to meet so many of the Idols at the concert. My daughter took me there as a treat for my birthday. What fun we had that night! I haven't seen any break-out performances this year. It's funny because my Grandchildren "knew" Jason, Brooke, and the Davids. They also knew the guy with the Dreads was MY favorite. I haven't felt that way about anyone YET this year. I will try to be more open to Danny's performance this week. MCL, do you remember when I was Emailing Phil's father and gave him your URL here? He passed along your advice to Phil. He has certainly improved. It was wonderful following your adventure of going to the AI concert and meeting most of the Idols, MCL!

I met all the Season 7 singers last year and most were aware of my articles. Jason was really grateful as ws David Archuleta and his father. Coouldn't get near David Cook - a group of people were overwhelming him and wouldn't let him go. haha Plus, over the years, I have received wonderful emails from family friends and relatives of the singers. It's a great feeling and I am glad that, in some small way, these articles have been beneficial to the singers. Thank you so much, Louise, for stopping by and posting your wonderful comments. I am glad that you enjoy this blog and I feel fortunate that the readers and contributors are such thoughtful, intelligent and caring individuals. Everyone here respects the singers and appreciates that they are all doing their very best each week on that stage. Kudos to all of you! Louise – yes I have had contact with some of the Idols.

I discovered your column several years ago, and since I have no musical background, I always like to see if my likes and dislikes coincide with your comments. Have any of the AI contestants ever thanked you for your helpful suggestions? MCL, in my previous e-mail, I should have thanked you for your wonderful words of wisdom to each of the participants.

It must've been extremely tough to be so close to seeing Elliott perform live only to end up in a drab emergency room! I hope you get a chance to see him again. I wouldn't mind seeing him myself sometime. "Wait For You" is one of my all-time favorite songs! Anyway, my mom, brother, and I went to see the Idol concert last summer and we had an absolute blast! We got to meet Archuleta, Brooke, Jason, and all of the rest (except unfortunately for Cook)! It was so much fun and we hope to go again this year if we can save up enough in advance for it. Oh, and thank you for your kind words as well. I know all too well what you mean when you say that some blogs can be very hostile and disrespectful. To be honest, that's why I hardly ever post on the official American Idol forums. You feel like everyone's just ready to snap at you, you know? But what I love about this place is that it is more laid back and everyone can have an opinion that is respected. Overall, an excellent place to discuss Idol! Oh, I feel sorry for you, Louise.
