There is a quick photoshop technique that will add in those clouds. Takes all of 3-4 mouse clicks.

Yes,...

It probably is true but the worst part is Adam's cover looks like shit even though you know more time and effort was put into it than Kris'.

Adam's No Boundaries looks like a cover for a really low-budget, shitty horror film.

I think Simon failed to realize (and he should since he's Brittish) that American's hate being told what to do. If they had simply said about Adam all along, "I like you and feel you have potential." Adam might have won. They could have played up Adam's struggles in the entertainment world. Adam struggling with his style of music being accepted. ANYTHING but what they did. The audience felt more that they should vote for Adam rather than wanting to....

You guys just can't see the real artistry in Kris's cover because it is a picture of the cover. Hold it one way and it looks like what you have captured in this thread. Hold it at another angle and Kris's lips purse in their trademark purpoise/dolphin weird jaw-lip thing he does. All the little tween girls will think he's sending a kiss their way and the rest of us think he's imitating Flipper. But it's a MUCH more creative cover than Adam's.

Had Adam not been pimped so heavily and favoured by the judges, I wonder if he'll actually make it to the finale or Gokey instead. I think the judges shoving their Adam-favourite to the voters did helped him get a lil furthur, for people to accept his kinda music since the genre he's carrying in AI is so different to begin with.

I doubt Adam could make it this far had he given the Kris' edit (really, without the judges praise, I would have really thought his high tone...

Adam looks like how I feel about that crap song.

Kris looks like he just threw up cause now he'll have to sing it on talk shows and the tour and stuff.

We knew this from last year after Simon tried to fuck Cook over after the final performance night.

Don't forget the sob story factor. Too many of this year's final 13 got in due to sob story (from mild to worst-Alexis, Megan Joy, Jorge, Sarver, Lil, Gokey, Scott). At least at some point, most of them fell by the wayside and 3 of the final 4 got there primarily on talent and performance.

So, the system still works, even if it displaces people who should make it further.

I don't even get why the judges or producers really care who wins anyway. 19E gets first dibs on everybody in the top 12. They'll sign Adam. Why do they care if Adam is more successful than Kris when they'll make money off of both of them?

I can imagine because it's about ego. Simon hates to be proven wrong. Also, it makes good TV to have the judges championing a contestant, because it spurs other fandoms to vote. The "judges"...

There's no question their favorites were Adam and Danny, but I'd say they favored people like Lil, Allison, Matt, and maybe even Megan and Alexis over Kris (at the beginning).

America loves underdogs and once Kris slipped by long enough, America probably got bored with the judges slobbering so much over Adam and Danny that their favoritism backfired. I'm glad they did overdo it in retrospect! :D

There's no doubt Kris did a lot on his own to gain support,...
