Everyone has their own opinion and for me, it’s Kris who has had stellar performances every week. Adam is the same old screamfest every week and not without flaws.

Who will win?
Well, a critical quetion will be who will some of Danny’s fans now vote for? It should still be a sizeable number even after discounting those die-hard fans who will not vote anymore.
Musically, Danny’s fans may prefer the style and music of Kris to Adam.
This may be problem for Adam unless he manages a performance that can convert these fans. The song choice is essential and I would love to see Adam go back to his theatrical roots and do one song for that genre which he is so good at.
Is there anybody there? Perhaps?

I enjoy Kris … I really do. So please don’t take this as a negative comment, just a comment. I found this quote, “Kris Allen is a singer/songwriter from Conway, Arkansas. His passion for music began when he taught himself to play the guitar at age 13, and he has since learned the piano, viola and ukulele. His talents and soulful voice have given him the opportunity to perform at numerous music venues as well as the chance to share his gifts and faith with many of the under privileged and oppressed people of the world. His travels to Spain, Morocco, Thailand, Burma, Mozambique and South Africa have influenced his music and inspired him to share it with others. Kris debuted his first full-length CD, “Brand New Shoes”, in September 2007. The album spotlights his musical capabilities in songwriting, guitar, piano and vocals. Kris is known for his laidback and unassuming personality, and his music itself is full of depth, energy and soul.

My thought is that ‘everyone’ talks about Adam being a professional, and so much more experienced than the other ‘kids’ this season, however, it came out that Allison won $50,000 in a singing contest, and then we learn about Kris’ past experience.
I just wish that people would compare apples and apples, not talk about Kris like he’s a complete novice … the guy’s got a CD for Pete’s sake!
Both men are hugely talented, and I’m proud for both of them (and their Mamas! LOL!)

Anita: Brand New Shoes was a self-produced CD. It’s the equivalent of me going into a recording studio, spending my own money, and recording my own music. I hardly count that as experience.

Thanks for confirming that, melvel. I had a feeling that the CD was self-produced. A lot of YouTube artists do the same thing (release albums themselves). They still have no record deals (being unsigned) and are pretty much unknown outside the YouTube bubble.

Ah, I see … I don’t understand the various ‘degrees’ of production, so I thank you for explaining!
