Randy Jackson: No Lambert clone on next 'Idol'

LOS ANGELES – There won't be anyone quite like Adam Lambert on the next season of "American Idol."
Easygoing "Idol" judge Randy Jackson told reporters during a Friday teleconference that he expected to see clones of the over-the-top eighth season runner-up or even croony champion Kris Allen show up to audition for the Fox talent competition's ninth season, which premieres Tuesday (8 p.m. EST), but there were none to be found this time around.
"Usually, whoever comes in first or second, that next season of auditions, you have a lot of those kinds of people," he said. "It's almost like a signal to everyone at home that was like them that now it's time to try out for 'American Idol.' It didn't happen like that this time. We got a very interesting, unique cast that's only unique to this season nine."
Jackson, who serves on the judging panel with Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and newcomer Ellen DeGeneres, said audition cities Dallas and Atlanta offered singers with the most starpower while Orlando, Fla., was "really strange" in terms of finding talent. He also said he was on the lookout for female crooners because the past two winners have been male.
"I think there's some really talented girls that showed up this time," he said.

Of course there won't be any Lambert clone...Adam is one of a kind!
Thank god. I'm surprised though; I thought there'd be looooots of wannabe-Adams that fail epically during auditions
DUH! That's cause everyone knows it's pointless to even try to be another Adam! One of a kind. Surprised there weren't a lot of Kris clones though, much easier to accomplish ;) Just kidding...
Wooo ! Isn't that awesome! they know that there can only be one adam. and that's ADAM LAMBERT (:
Aww . . . I kinda wanted to see some crazies dress up like our Adam and fail miserably when it comes to singing. I was actually looking forward to that lol
but just to watch them fail. No one would ever, EVER measure up to Adam.
And maybe, just maybe, let's have a UNIQUE,
DIFFERENT girl singer win this time, hmmm?

I am not excited about AI this year. I will watch when ELLEN is the judge but I will NOT vote. Not untill they change the voting system to be FAIR! NOT supporting AT+T. I believe that they helped Kris win. If you believe it, then hurt them where THEY care: thier pocket.
There's only ONE ADAM, so let's support him nonstop by buying his music. Best deal for your money spent in today's world.
