		<description>It was pretty awesome when, at the BOK center, we ALL were screaming for the only star, Adam. Adam Lambert The World Super Star got more screams, shouts, and has the most fans. When the little short guy namedkris came out everyone sat down and fell asleep! So who is the star of the show. Ha! the answer is obvious. When Adam was singing I couldn&#039;t even here my self shouting it was so loud.God Bless Adam the man who will outlast, outsing, and outshine everyone else.</description>

Oh, of course.  I just wanted to present another opinion here, since a lot of people like to dump on Danny and take even the slightest negative thing about him as an open invitation to insult him.  Because I&#039;ve been converted from a hater to someone who likes him, I wanted to speak up and present a heartfelt dissenting opnion.</description>

Each concert is unique. It&#039;s possible that he read feedback on the opening night and has polished things up since then.</description>

Interesting that you say that you really liked Gokey on the show and thought it didn&#039;t work in the stadium.

I had the opposite experience.  I immensely disliked Danny during his AI run.  But he blew me away at the Vancouver concert.  He sounds fantastic live and the crowd ate it up.  Two day ago I was making hurtful jokes about Danny and hoping he&#039;d never get a record deal.  Now I can&#039;t wait to hear his album.  I want him to get picked up.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-816&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Linda&lt;/a&gt; Yeah it sort of is. Given that the song came out of an entire night of Michael Jackson stuff and the concert was smack dab between Michael Jackson&#039;s death and the funeral it would have been appropriate to at least acknowledge it in tribute. Jordan Sparks did the very same song a few nights earlier at the Jonas Brother&#039;s concert and said some very nice words before hand.  It&#039;s just an issue of respect.

I too really liked Gokey on the show. But I am sad to report, what worked on the small screen doesn&#039;t work in the stadium show. I think that&#039;s the biggest realization I made going to this show... Seeing it on TV isn&#039;t getting the full experience that the judges are... It&#039;s a completely different experience.</description>

		<description>So Danny Gokey didn&#039;t mention Michael Jackson, like that&#039;s a crime, give me a break that&#039;s all that&#039;s been in the news for the past two weeks and probably will be for the rest of the year, he was still my favorite this year and when he was voted off, lost all interest and did not support the remaining two.</description>

@Teresa That is too bad people started leaving after Adam&#039;s performance. I was at the Vancouver concert last night and only a handful left at that time. Vancouver LOVED Kris. As a fan of both Kris and Adam, this pleased 
me greatly.

		<description>Great review! I was happy to see that Scott did so well, as he was my favorite! We are going to Sac tomorrow to see him, but will enjoy the whole show. I also am not a big Adam fan. But I will definitely be polite and respectful and stay for the whole show (rather than ducking out like Adam fans seem to feel the need to do). It sounds like the finale with all 10 is worth waiting for. Thanks for such a great review article!!</description>

		<description>We were at the Portland concert and Danny Gokey was the HIGHLIGHT for my family, as well as many of the people sitting in the arena. We loved his singing, dancing, and how he connected with the audience. He is an incredible performer and well worth the price of the ticket.</description>

		<description>Please please quit with the instructions.... the very same must be said to Kris fans, please please show and behave in a way that would make Kris proud as there are a lot of embarrassing fans on both sides. I love and appreciate both, and while I am an Adam fan, I love him, his style, his music, I respect Kris and do like his style and above all I love how they are such great friends. Our Glamberts have even sent Kris a gift to show him that we think he rocks, so before you try and instruct just one side of fans please realize it must encompass all, unfortunately there will always be the small minded and mean spirited. All you can is show that you are not one of those unfortunates. That is why there are so many types of music, because were are not the same but we are all one! Love and Light</description>
