Idol Finale

Though I like him, I didn’t expect to see Kris Allen in the final two of American Idol.
I assumed Pink 2.0 or the Michael McDonald remix would be battling the second coming of glam rock Adam Lambert in the finale.
But I underestimated the power of the J-14 crew who no doubt helped propel Kris all the way to the finals.
Both he and Adam were pitted against each other in three rounds of performances last night.
Adam kicked off the show with a performance that was very much him: energetic and captivating. Yet for once he almost seemed a bit restrained (for him anyway), which gave us the opportunity to pay closer attention to his voice than his theatrics (minus his costume coat).
The always-restrained Kris gave a good effort in the first round as well, but in the second round he seemed to be a bit too blasé during his rendition of “What’s Going On?”
If we were all sitting around a camp fire with the Full House gang, perhaps I would’ve enjoyed it more.
Paula Abdul and think-a-like judge Kara DioGuardi loved it, however. I’ll call them DJ and Stephanie from this day forward.
Adam continued to make me feel like the ’80s will never die in his last performance of the night. He can certainly sing and is quite the performer, but as Randy Jackson once put it, he’s a bit too theatrical for me.
On the other hand, Simon was right in pointing out that Adam is one of the most original contestants in AI history. He possesses a certain oomph that previous contestants took years to develop.
Judging from the thunderous applause from the audience at the end, many seem to see it. Still, Kris has his fans, too, so your guess is as good as mine as to who will win tonight.
Who do you think will be crowned the next American Idol?
I really hope Kris wins this but he probably won’t. It is very unfortunate because American Idol used to be about taking the boy or girl next door and making him or her into a star. Now they take seasoned performers, and doing this gives those performers an edge over regular people. Adam has been on broadway so he knows how to give a good show. Kris is a regular guy who is trying to pursue there dream. Adam has already made it!!!
listen kris is nice and all but he is not an american idol in my book and my vote is for adam lambert because he is american idol. in fact is was a bit disappointed when kris actually made the final cut. danny was and is a much better singer as well as lil rounds, allison, matt anyone of them should have made the final cut but not kris although as the judges have pointed out he has come a long way. so again my vote is for adam lambert, but if i had my personal choice of the season it would have been lil rounds or danny gokey for american idol.
Danny Gokey!
adam ur soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot hi 4rum oklahoma city by cutie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not a glam rock n roller fan, but I know talent and the IT factor when I see it and Adam has it with capital letters. Whether he wins or not [and the fact is he deserves it more than a few winners past ] He will have an amazing career ahead of him. He should win if the title truly means anything at all. Kris should he win will still not have the staying power after idol his light will fade two albums in.
