I agree with him about the decision to feature contestants that are already professional singers. Lambert earned his living by acting/singing. The show will lose its "cinderella story" theme if they start giving awards to people that are already making their careers in music.
It's pop music contest--and pop means popular. More votes for Kris = more popularity = winner. It's not hard to figure out. If it a vocal range/power contest, they'd only accept contestants with big powerful voices and let the judges make the decision.
It's a little annoying how all the media outlets talk endlessly about how Adam is "favored" to win. Yeah, it's the MEDIA that's favoring him. In my opinion, it's not journalism if the news item is a product of the news media itself.
Pay attention to what Seacrest said about how close their votes were. That's significant. The fact that Danny's voters may find Kris more their style? Also interesting. Build up the suspense.... Don't just give it away to Adam because more 13 year old girls are surfing his site.
The Rosary is an institution of the Roman Catholic church--developed, described, promoted for hundreds of years. It may be used by some Anglicans or Lutherans but it hasn't been institutionalized as a regular part of the daily life of their parishioners. In the case of the Church of Christ, I am sure that devotion and prayer to Mary is not part of their beliefs and practices.
This isn't about the Catholic church. Why do you have the phrase "priest abuse" and a Catholic crucifix in the accompanying graphic. It's misleading and inaccurate.
