American Idol's Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert has just positioned himself as one of the judges favorites for this season of American Idol. Even though he does very theatrical performances it seems that he has found a way to tone it down a little and please the judges as well as the American public.

Nobody ever really questioned his vocal ability but many seemed to think that he would make a good contestant because he you mostly over perform his songs as he would in the musicals he used to play.

But Adam Lambert seems to be determined to go as far as possible in this competition. The judges have advised him to try and convey more feelings and understand that with television the audience is extremely close to the performer and not as far away as in as theater.

Adam has this gothic look with black nail polish and dark eye liner. He always seems to be fond of jewelry. Surely he is a show man and has the potential of making it far in this competition.

He probably is a singer who actually uses the advice he is given to improve and try to give the best performance possible, if he keeps getting better is will certainly be one to watch.

Adam Lambert on American Idol
Last night we saw three more contestants joining the American Idol season 8 top 12. Among them there was Adam Lambert, one of the judges favorites for this season. Sure, maybe that were labeled contenders early on didn't make it but Lambert seemed to have lived up to the expectations the judges had.

The judges enjoyed his last performance and apparently so did America and he was put through in an episode where the only question was who would join Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert in the top 12. The answer to that question was none other than Kris Allen.

American Idol season 8 - Top 12

The top 12 of American Idol season 8 is starting to take shape. Three lucky contestants have reached the coveted stools(!). Last night, Alexis Grace, Danny Gokey and Michael Sarver, not in that order, claimed their spot on the top 12 of this season's American Idol. They will be joined by nine others who will be chosen in part by the viewers and in part by the judges. Many talented and promising singers failed when came the moment of truth. The Brenth Keiths, Ann Marie Boskovitches and other Anoop Desais and even the fierce and determined Tatiana del Toro were no match for the three who were America's favorite after the first night of live performances. The 24 people left should takes notes and really put on they best show or irresistible charms to go. Because this year you simply have to beat at least 9 other people after one single performance.

So many of the web's most popular contestants are already out of the competition. Michael Castro who was surrounded by a lot of buzz because he's Jason Castro's younger brother. I can't help but think that if he had waited a year and spend more time training his voice and musical skills he could actually have had a chance at making the top 12 but the kid just wishes he was in his brother's shoes.... Not that his brother has made an album or anything but he does have a whole lot of die hard fans out there...

Now we see so many people that the judges said were very talented simply fail when they finally faced America for the first time. Maybe America is looking for something else in its idols this year. I do think that the results show was unnecessarily long, and I don't appreciate at all the fact that the winners get to sing again and not the looser. Sure if they lost it means the performance was not all that good but it is their last chance to be in the spot light, the ones who made it to the top 12 will come back in a few weeks and we will get plenty of time to see them again.

Rick Santelli CNBC video

Rick Santelly of CNBC slammed the Obama administration for its mortgage rescue plan. Yes, he did mention socialism and the Cuban revolution. You can read the transcript right now, if you're at work and want to pretend that you're reading some online business publication or you can scroll down to the video and watch it.

Rick Santelli CNBC :

Mr. Ross has nailed it. The government is promoting bad behavior. We certainly don’t want to put stimulus pork and give people a whopping $8 or $10 in their check and think that they ought to save it.

And in terms of modifications, I tell you what. I have an idea. The new administration is big on computers and technology. How about this, Mr. President and new administration. Why don’t you put up a website to have people vote on the internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers mortgages? Or would they like to at least buy buy cars, buy a house that is in foreclosure … give it to people who might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that can carry the water instead of drink the water?

This is America!

How many people want to pay for your neighbor’s mortgages that has an extra bathroom and can’t pay their bills?
Raise their hand!

President Obama, are you listening?

You know Cuba used to have mansions and a relatively decent economy. They moved from the individual to the collective. Now they’re driving ‘54 Chevys.

It’s time for another tea party. What we are doing in this country will make Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin<>
