Oh god that "version" of ring of fire was horrific. He should be shot for that and the producers have him as one of the final four? I am not seeing his appeal. I'm okay with him being gay but does that mean he has to look like a douche?
there are some things you don't fuck with, and CASH is one of them. Being from Nashville I'm guessing all his anti nashville remarks last night aren't gonna help him in this market.
he should be sent to san quentin and made to wear a sign on his back ..take me please...that show blows now and anyone who watches it is a LOSERRRRR...
i ahve to disagree. i thought it was really cool. if nine inch nails re did it people would see it differently. give it a few listens and you might change your mind.
He should have his ass kicked for that. It was worse than I expected, I forwarded to the "singing" and immediately stopped it. Are there no good singers anymore?!
What the fuck did he do to Mr. Cash's prized, unpussy-ish song about hetero love? God this is worse than John Wayne in drag. I hope this faggot, yes FAGGOT, sticks to being a pagan idol on friendster and makeoutclub.com. What a fucking douche cushion; giving gays everywhere a bad name. But whatever I still oppose Prop 8.
Oh, and I say "faggot" not as a derogatory term for someone who is gay. (I have gay friends, hell I got a black friend too) I say it as a derogatory term for this whiny emo bitch that thinks heavy breathing constitutes as singing. I hope Johnny Cash laughs when this kid dies of a heroin overdose.
WOW #9 that was cool good to see that there still people who don't believe in being a WHINY PC FAG
why the hell did they let that ass pirate destroy that song that shit was horrible , hey morons out there don't vote for the gay wad that bitch can't sing for shit
please. country music and the brain dead assholes who love it are the reason we had a monkey as our last president. this is what they get for forcing people to sing that crap. this is the only performance of the night that I would have watched a second time - the rest of them were so boring and whiny - just like country music. blah. get on with your bad self adam - even if you are a fudgepacker, you rocked the shit out of that song.
Wow #14, you thought about the current president and the last, but opted for calling the latter a monkey? I think Obama still has his tail and everything.
I thought Adam's version was good and I doubt Johnny Cash would have minded the performance. After all, before his death Cash covered both Soundgarden and NIN. He was obviously open to all kinds of music. Most artists are.
Lil Rounds and that Alexis chick are awful. I hope they're not in the final four. But then I'm not a 14 year old girl, so my opinion obviously doesn't count.
hey #16, take a good long look in the mirror. if you have brown eyes, genetically you have a black ancestor. so unless your eyes are blue, you have a tail, too. direct all your hatred toward yourself there, zippy, and think twice before making a stupid comment like that in the future.
...and thank god there is a flamboyant, openly gay man on AI this year. It's about time the show got interesting.
I would MUCH rather watch Adam prance around in his eyeliner and little EMO outfits than boring old Lil Rounds bounce her fat ass all over the stage any day.
this is stupid. It's pretty obvious who the top 4 are and just because some staffer aays that will be the top for doesn't mean it's fixed. This is one of the most talented seasons ever, but the top 4 are still pretty obvious.
Adam proved he has idol quality. Like him or not. Dude can sing in half tones, which the American ear is not accustomed to and most Western singers CAN'T do. The others are all "forget-able".
BTW, really enjoyed the Johnny Cash You Tube links. In music, new usually reinvents the old. It was really wonderful to see the old reinventing the new. Johnny was indeed a master.
Nobody is going to touch Cash's version and it would be stupid to try. Adam is not an unintellignt person...he knows this. So he turned it on its back so he wouldn't get compared to the original. Yeah, it's weird...but it works. It's current. It catches your attention. It's different. I loved it. You won't forget it.
As much as I don't care if guys suck cock (as long as its not mine) Adam is dead to me. The Man in Black is spinning in his grave after that caterwauling pig sucker defecated all over Ring of Fire. He is truly a shit. The only saving grace is now everyone will appreciate JC better.
Meanwhile, Lil Rounds has lots of rounds but aint nunvem little - when you gonna post some propa pix of her???
I love Johnny Cash and was expecting to hate this, but it actually wasn't that bad. It would have been a lot more insulting if he'd tried to ape Johnny's style, but he didn't even try, and the cover unexpectedly kinda works. Now if only I cared about AI...
The ignorance and stupidity of some of these comments is absolutely astounding. Just completely, mind-numbingly, distressingly, alarmingly, disgustingly reprehensible. That people would post some things with the air of superiority and condescension they do is just mind-boggling (massive irony below; keep reading). And yes, I'm probably about to do what I was just complaining about, but I couldn't let a couple of these comments go without retort.
First of all, having brown eyes does not automatically mean that you have a black ancestor. The brown eye gene is dominant in HUMANS. Blue or green eyes only means that a recessive gene has been allowed to be expressed depending on the alleles passed from the parents. If you're referring to the theory that all humans are descended from black Africans, then we ALL have black ancestors, you twit.
And the guy who made a big deal of Adam singing in "half tones," go back to music theory class. First of all, "half tone" is a photo-engraving term used to refer to the graduation of tone being expressed by dots not visible to the unaided eye. If you're speaking of SEMItones, then you're simply speaking of a pitch interval halfway between two whole tones. Anyone that can match the note they're hearing can sing a semitone. It's just going a half step from say Ab to A or from F to F#. American songs often involve key changes that entail the singer changing their pitch by a half step. American music often contains accidentals that go a half step up or down. Stop trying to make him sound like a better singer than he is, and stop trying to make yourself sound more educated than everyone else. The great irony is that when people do that, they almost invariably prove themselves wrong.
The Arabic modal take on Ring of Fire is pretty cool. Yes, it's been done before, but Adam made it his own, and that's really what this is about. Sure, plenty of people probably didn't like it, but hey - plenty of people didn't like Johnny Cash when he was coming up either. That's the nature of something new. I found it rather reminiscent of Page / Plant's live performance on No Quarter - specifically Kashmir, but then I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, and I like the layered half and quarter tones in the Arabic scale that most Westerners find disconcerting.
Oh, and people, grow up. Just because he sang it some way you didn't like doesn't mean "JC is turning in his grave". In all reality, if Johnny was around to see it, I'm sure he would've appreciated it - c'mon, he covered NIN. Besides, imitation is flattery.
So, they have the Top 4 chosen, huh? And Alexis Grace is one of em? FAIL. I don't see why everyone who doesn't like it has to hate on it. Like it or don't = watch it or don't. Jeezus, quitcher bitchin and change the channel, you fuckin pussies. No one's holding a gun to your head.
I can't believe Paula compared him to Zeppelin. How dare she. Why is she on here again? Shouldn't she be teaching cheerleaders how to dance and throw up. I'm sure she's got some diet pills in that bag of goodies. He sounds like Muse and the Mars Volta had a gay baby.
Hey #19, if you LOOK AT HIM you will see Obama resembles a monkey, which would account for the tail comment. Jackass. Dude happens to be black. Nothing was said about race, but you just had to go there, you race-bating-first-year-college-punk. There is always a person like you out there: smug, elitest, full of shit. Don't like talks about race, jokes about it or the potential to disagree with someone? Then don't come around here pussy-boy. This isn't a place for -isms.
NEWSFLASH If you haven't noticed Adam looks like a Disney created rock star with Jonas Hair, tacky 80's rock wear and fake Axel Rose impersonation.
He is. Disney put Kara on as a Judge. (She's a Disney Songwriter) He's had handlers since the beginning. And it is working just with Disney's P.R. machine working overtime. Hyping him on all the blogs.
