Ok, my vote solely goes to Kris to advance to the AI final because, when he plays the piano, his fourth fingers don’t cave in (and he appears to have a hand position that Elbert Lingo would have approved of–inside joke).
For anyone who knows not, the fourth (ring) finger doesn’t work well for pianists, and it takes years to acquire any facility. It’s unusual for a singer to have good fourth fingers.
On top of that, I would agree with Randy that Kris does “Heartless” better than Kanye West.
Funny, funny: the tubes going to Adam’s ear monitors gave him Spock-like pointy ears. Too funny. Wish someone would beam him up!
Well, David Cook said some time ago it’d be between Adam and Kris, and I suppose Double knows what he’s talking about.
It will be interesting to see if Middle America embraces Adam. I don’t care so much about–you know–THAT issue, as his annoying screaming. Guess someone has to take over for the late James Brown and the reclusive Prince!
What Elbert did not tell you was that I worked VERY HARD on his famous fourth-finger exercise and was considerable less pasta-like after just one year of study.
