When my cousin said that this guy on Idol sounded like one of my favourite artists, Jeff Buckley, I just had to check him out. So on tuesdy night I sat on my couch with my beer and flicked the tv on.
After sitting through four other country preformances the Adam guy I was told about finally came on.
He had midnight black hair with turqoise tips. The fringe was flat, hanging down his face and the back was messy. I know for a fact the girls would be swooning.
His intro video started and I almost chocked on my beer from the look on Randy Travis's face when he saw the dude's rock get up. He's probably not used to seeing a guy wearing heavy make-up and nail polish, even if it is black. They gave us a sneak peak of the song but not enough to judge. Randy Travis looked like he was about to have a heart attack when heard Adam's middle eastern, egyptian version of Ring of Fire. I did my best not to laugh but failed miserably. Adam's voice was really good from what I heard though.
When he got on stge I noticed he was wearing a black shirt with an ashy gold jacket and plain black bootleg pant's. There were tastled chains hanging off his left back pocket and his hands were covered with black leather fingerless gloves. He accompanied the ensemble with multible necklaces The outfit was completed with a pair of black boots and a studded leather belt.
He started singing and my breath caught. If his eyes weren't smouldering enough than his voice was. He was absolutely sensatinal, his voice truely melodious. I loved his voice.
Wednesday had me sat on the couch with an irish coffee awaiting Ryan to announce the results. Hoping that it wasn't Adam's name he called.
They started the show off by the group singing T - R - O - U - B - L - E. It sounded pretty good and it did come to my attention that they sent Adam out at the end to belt a scream, which sounded fantstic. Adam tonight was dressed in a black shirt and black pants with a bue and black plaid shirt thrown over top. He had a longish silver chain thrown roung his neck and a shorter one looped around his left hip hanging off two belt loops. On his left hand was a black leather wrist band, his nails still black and his hair the same groomed dismay that it was the night before. His outfit was topped off with plain black shoes. After showing their water baloon ford advertisment, which the group looked so happy and lid back in, they got down to the elimination process. They put Allison and Michael in the bottom three leaving just one space left. Allison seemed pretty cool, I could see myself getting along well with her, I didn't really want her to leave. Michael also seemed like a pretty good singer, it would be a shame if he left. Once they had called out all the names all who were left were Alexis and Adam. I began to question whether or not I was a horrible person because I wanted her to be sent home. I was excited though when Ryan announced Alexis was in the bottom three. I ws even more excited when Ryan called out that it was Alexis that was going home and that Allison was safe.
I knew when I turned on the tv the next week that I was slowly becoming addicted to the sound of Adam's voice.
