    Susan Boyle, while her situation is a great story for the press, is a novelty act at best. She has a lovely voice but absolutely nothing current to offer the music industry. Her CDs will make great holiday gifts for my parents and grandparents, but nobody I know cares about her now that Britain’s Got Talent has ended.

    • Matt

      I see that Melissa. Everyone has forgotten most of the idols except for Adam. His fans will not let that happen, it isn’t like he gets much help from Slezak and others.

    • Lin

      That is not true, at all, Melissa. Her CD has already been a success and it has not even been released yet! Everyone I know at work is waiting for her CD in Nov., and many of them are young people, in their late teens and early 20′s. Boyle transcends age. She is not a novelty act. You obviously can’t recognize true talent.

      • Matt

        Neither can you. Not everyone has to agree with you. Um tell me how is it her CD is already been a success you say without being released? Are you thinking maybe her Amazon sales? Where now Adam is enjoying success and is number one? LOL

    • PWattis

      I think you need to meet more people.

  • BrendaF

    Eileen, SB might not have the it factor in your opinion, but she does have the voice.
    Eyeliner and nail polish on a man isn’t exactly my idea of the it factor either.

    • Nina

      Obviously you’ve never heard Adam sing. His vocal ability with any style from rock to blues, to country and everything in between is light years ahead of most current artists. He’s in the Streisand category…not the Boyle category.

      • Linda

        Both Adam and Susan are Better, more versatile, than Streisand — all her songs sound about the same. They’re both very different from each other but both very talented. I simply root more for Susan. They can both go far if they play their cards right, I think.

    • @Brenda

      LOVELY SHALLOW COMMENT THERE.

      Eyeliner and nail polish? He alternates his look every single day. There’s a tribute gallery on one of his sites that’s picspammed his 1000 looks over the years. It’s amazing.

      His IT factor is his voice, it’s versatility and his charisma.

      Watch his audition. He has no makeup or nail polish and he doesn’t even sound half as good as he could have but he still comes across as a potential star. IT factor.

    • staciegirlie

      Adam Lambert definitely has the IT factor and it’s not just his nail polish and eyeliner (even though it’s sexy). I can’t believe that some people can’t spot charisma and extraordinary talent when they see it. But then again, the ’90′s and early 2000′s music scene caused irreversible brain rot, so it isn’t your fault that you can’t.

      • Angel

        @staciegirlie – Yes there must be some irreversible brain damaged somewhere. And there are just no drugs nor cure for those who are not blessed with sound judgment. Yes, it’s not their fault because it’s inborn.

      • M

        Angel that must be YOU, that you are talking about. Inborn brain damage due to drugs. No cure for those who are not blessed with sound judgement. Yep, has YOU written all over it.

    • Matt

      You act like Adam is the ONLY artist who does this. How about Pete Wentz from Fallout Boys? Judging an artist from his apperance is stupid. Judge from his talent, which he has plenty.

      • Jesus

        Wentz is a fugly douche.

    • Brandi

      It’s what you like. A voice that can bore me to tears isn’t my definition of the “it” factor either. At least I’m awake for Adam’s performances. I don’t understand why it’s such a terrible thing for a guy to wear eyeliner and nail polish. It’s his choice what he wears, where he goes, and who he dates. Judging people for petty things only reflects poorly upon the one making the judgements.

    • Eileen

      Wow, BrendaF, I agree with staciegirlie — what a shallow comment. What a person wears, on his or her nails or body, has nothing to do with talent or the so-called IT factor. Adam has it because he is insanely talented. He could be nail polishness and wear a gunny sack, he would still be incredible. Not to mention many of us would love to see the lovely Lambert IN a gunny sack, the shorter the better!! Droooooool!
      ;-P :-P :-P

      • Eileen

        I meant nailpolishLESS not ness, lol

  • Shamrock

    A year from now, it’ll be Adam who? Susan who?

    • Sealily

      And where did you get your freaking crystal ball? I want one!

      • Shamrock

        Just based on probability, like what happens to most AI contestants.

      • staciegirlie

        LoL, Sealily. I don’t want one of Shamrock’s crystal balls. It’s a counterfeit or either he dropped it or something and now it’s broken.

      • Matt

        Most AI contestants yes, but not all. David Cook, Daughtry, and now ADAM. No, I disagree with you thinking he will be forgotten. Thats like saying MJ will be forgotten, impossible!

      • Angel

        @Sealily – LOL!LOL!LOL!
        But as @staciegirlie said, it’s messed up ball. LOL!

    • Ella

      No, it will be “Shamrock who”?

    • Jory

      srry but this is BS !! I think u wish ppl say Adam who !! but NO Freakin way .. he will make it big and his fans more than u think !!

      • mia

        I hope so. Let’s not jinx it tho.

    • JustMe

      Actually a year from now, it will be Kris Allen who? Oh wait, it won’t even be a year.

      • Brandi

        I hope not. I like Kris too. I just like Adam better. I want them both to succeed and live out their dreams. Kradam is the cutest nickname ever. Kradam Forever!!!

  • jack

    they both suck

    • D

      Adam rocks actually.

    • terie

      jack: May I see your CREDENTIALS??

    • imrah

      Jack ASS. what kind of high are you on? Have you seen Adam sing?

    • imrah

      Adam is the best singer/Artist they had on American idol. Get your facts straight before you coment.American idol is never going to be the same after Adam Lambert.

    • RR3

      Jack ASS…what more can we say…

  • Kate

    Susan Boyle for me and for the millions who can’t stop clicking on anything she’s done. Can’t wait for that cd! Her voice and technique are supurb, and her sense of humor and spirit unbeatable.

    • Sealily

      Clicking on “free” is a different cat than clicking on to “buy”.

      • Harmonie

        Susan’s CD is already at the top of the charts for pre-sales on Amazon, both in UK and USA. She’s the best.

      • SandyShores

        Actually within less than 2 days of pre-sales of Adam’s CD becoming available on Amazon in the US (and with it not showing up when searching by his name) his CD hit #1 here. As for me – the only CD I have EVER anticipated in advance of its release is Adam’s. He has a voice, vocal range, and ability to make any song incredibly new and contemporary so I can’t wait to see what he does with original material and professional production. Hype shmype – Adam will deliver.

  • Zoey

    Adam hands down, he sounds way more contemporary than Susan Boyle.

    • trennie

      Is that good?

      • rc

        YES

      • Zoey

        Contemporary as in “music that will sell well and chart in pop music”.

  • Anderson

    I’m sorry, but I don’t really have a clue who Susan Boyle is!

    • SPOCK

      She because a youtube sensation because her looks don’t match her voice. She also has a vulgar mouth and likes flashing her granny knickers every so often.

    • Abby

      and you live on what planet?????

    • Brandi

      Don’t feel bad Anderson. I had no clue who she was either until I was flipping through channels and stopped on TMZ and they said her name. That was like a week before she lost and had her mental breakdown I think.

  • Kristina

    I hope October is over tomorrow so November 24 will be here that much sooner.

    ADAM!!!!

  • JaniS

    Jory, don’t you think you shouldn’t make a judgement until you at least listen to Susan Boyle’s WH? You just might be surprised like a lot of people are.
    Actually, I’d like to wish both of them luck with their careers. It doesn’t hurt to wish people well, does it?

    • Jory

      I am really not judging her at all but i already heard her songs n BGT and her voice didn’t touch my heart at all i am not that kind of person who don’t listen and just judge others i give chances and hear many artist but her voice didn’t work with me at all !! while Adam touched my heart majorly !! sigh .. and i do wish them all the luck :)

      • vicki smith

        Jory- please go to youtube and type in “wild horses susan boyle”? I think you will be impressed.

        I extend this invitation to anyone who hasn’t been impressed with Susan up til now. Please do this!
        Adam Lambert is a tremendous talent.

      • Jory

        Hey Vicki .. i just heard the song and i have no doubt that she is so talented and hand down her voice is so flawless .. but it don’t touch my heart srsly !! when i hear Adam or other songs i luv ex. Halo or flaws and all by beyonce i can’t even breath is so touching !! i really wish her all the best she deserve it after all she been Through !!

  • dove

    ever since the audition of susan boyle i’m fallowing her till now, looking forward for her latest update of her music carrer,i admired her so much ……..philippines

  • melirose89

    um Adam Lambert no question!!! it’s going to be a very interesting fight on November 24th just cuz they’re the 2 biggest stars to come out of these reality competition shows and they both shockingly came in second. If he comes in 2nd to Susan I will puke haha the real answer to who will come in 1st is who will be invited to Oprah’s couches once the album drops. Boyle had her time, now i wanna see Adam on that couch ahaha

    • Eileen

      Oh yes, melirose89: Adam on the couch — preferably in a sexy, horizontal position!

  • Bree

    I agree with Jacob, I will buy both albums because both singers are very good at what they do and they both have the capacity to surprise…..neither album will be boring

    • terie

      I am reserving my decision of whether or not to buy Susan’s album until I can get the gist of what type of songs are being offered on it. But having heard ADAM sing Brigadoon to Whole Lotta Love and everything that Ytube has to offer, I KNOW I will BUY ADAM’S ECLECTIC album!!

  • Cate

    Please don’t compare Adam to Susan Boyle… are you kidding me?

    • BrendaF

      Cate, you’re right. Don’t compare them. Susan wins hands down!

      • Sealily

        Wins in the adult contemporary category, perhaps. In the pop music world, I think Adam will take it.

      • Matt

        Yeah wait till November 24th and then come back and say that. Adam’s CD will be world wide. Funny how he is number one in pre-ordered sales without even any media attention, nothing promoted by his record company. Can Susan Boyle say that?

      • leoblueeyes

        Susan Boyle???Really??? She is a talented singer, but not the international iconic superstar that Adam is on his way to being!!!

      • ECOS

        As for me, I have listened to Susan Boyle’s IDAD and WH many times and counting. I just listened to AL’s Mad World for the first time, and feel impulse to hear it again.

    • James

      Susan Boyle could put me to sleep in 2 seconds…YAWN.

      Yeah Adam is 10000000x more exciting than her.

  • Akemi

    Not even a contest. Adam is in a league of his own.

    • trennie

      You’re correct. And Susan is also in a league of her own. There is nobody on the scene today who can match her. She looks back to the soul singers of the thirties, a time when lyrics meant something and a voice was more than a blast of sound. Listen to Wild Horses. You could learn something

      • SPOCK

        Patronising.

      • Kyuu

        I have. Have you heard Charlotte Martin’s cover of Wild Horses? 1) Complete ripoff of it and 2) Much more emotion and artistry infused in 30 seconds of her rendition than in all of Susan’s.

        Some people don’t like Susan because they know BETTER singers. Susan is hardly timeless or classic.

      • DonnaNoble

        Kyuu – just listened to Charlotte’s version and agree her rendition had more emotion and enjoyed it a bit more than Susan’s. Susan does have a beautiful voice but I became a bit bored listening to her singing – don’t know why.

      • Matt

        She can sing we get that, Adam can sing, so lets go to the stage presence. No freaking way would I buy a ticket to see Susan sing, she would put me to sleep. Adam I would and did and will again.

      • Angel

        Why not listen to Charlotte Martin’ version of Wild Horses? Absolutely much better than Susan Boyle’s.

  • melirose89

    For some reason I just got the mental image of Adam and Susan doing a duet of Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and that female opera singer Montserrat Caballe on Oprah LMFAO now that would be something to see ahaha anyways Adam ftw!!!
