The way I understand it the 19 Group has first refusal on the top 5 (I think its the top 5 might be 4) if they pass on Adam then he can go to whomever he wants, but if they decide to keep him, he's stuck
I've never tried to call, I always text...no busy signals and I can get all my votes in lol

19 Entertainment is more of a management group than a record company. In earlier seasons, Simon Cowell had first dibs on signing talent. He is affiliated with BMG. He lost that right when he settled a lawsuit with Simon Fuller (creator of the Idol franchise and head of 19 Entertainment). Cowell, the lawsuit suggested, had ripped off the Idol format with his British series X-Factor.

Fuller, signs many of the contestants to his management company and then gets them placed with the right label.

Adam should see if Queen needs somebody. (;-P) I kept hearing bits of Freddie, like Shani said.

My guess is that because there are no Canadian based teams playing, the American networks are playing fast and loose with the schedule. What's next? No hockey on Saturday nights??? Oh ya, that happened last week. Sacrilege. what else? Sunday Afternoon Hockey games? Oh ya, that's happened too. Nice. Televise a game when everybody is outside being active. Do they think this is football???

Ended up watching the rest of Criminal Minds instead. Now that's entertainment!

Should have watched the Memorial Cup on Sportsnet, good game Drummondville beat Rimouski to go to the semi's, Rimouski played in the tie breaker tonight against Windsor, Windsor won, so they play Drummondville tomorrow in the semi's. I know what you mean about Sunday hockey games, they fuckin blow, not the thing I want to be watching on a Sunday afternoon, especially if it's nice outside.

Only Canadians can turn an American Idol thread into a hockey thread.

...and a thread dies.

I think Adam is more talented, but I'd more likely buy a Kris record. Kris seems more likely to write his own songs, and could do well if he goes with a John Mayer/Jack Johnson/Ryan Adams vibe. You don't have to be an amazing singer if you've got great songs. Adam grew old to me after awhile.

I can't believe Kris won. He's so generic. I don't even remember his first half of the season because I kept confusing him with Matt Giraud. Even though Adam was a little theatrical, he took familiar songs and made them almost completely original and it worked. 0
