For some reason, I think Kris is going to win. I decided a long time ago it may not be Adam after all. :)
Bye Danny!
I love Katy Perry!
Jordin Sparks is great as always!
I think Kris will be the winner too.. I don't think he's the most talented of the group.. But that's ok. It would be better for Adam not to win.
The above is part of a quote from April 3rd (post #131) where I had a "feeling" Kris might win this whole thing. Boy do I hope I'm right!!! Even if he doesn't win at least he made it to the top two. :DQuote:

Very sad to see Danny go. He was very likable but just let the ball go the last two weeks.
I too have a feeling that Kris might win.... but I don't like him. :(
Katy Perry was great and so was Jordan Sparks.
Every media person in the world thinks Adam will win. I still think it might be Kris. I think he has a larger fan base than Adam and that's all it takes. I think he's done some amazing songs this season but he hasn't been my favorite either. It's pretty cool to see how happy his parents are of him.
Cindy, good call. I never would have thunk it so far back.
Jordin Sparks looks so good. She sounded great and is such a beauty.
Katy Perry was great and looked amazing too. I loved the Elvis outfit with all the jewels. The person that "bejeweled" the jacket is really talented.:)
I was so sad to see Danny go. I think he is one of the most humble contestants we've ever had. When they started showing the footage of him talking about his wife, I just fell apart. He stayed composed so well. His home town thing was awesome. He was clearly overwhelmed and totally moved by it. Getting back with Jamar was fantastic. I hope to see a huge career for him. He's a really nice guy. All I could think of was how grateful I am that he got so far in the competition.
This season has been the best for me. I have renewed faith in the show. Now, if we can get the judges to stop acting like children and respect the show, it will be great.:( No matter what's going on, they act disrespectful and uninterested. Kudos to Randy for being good through the season.:)
I still think Adam may win.
It was nice seeing Danny's "hometown" coverage, and all of theirs, and with Adam it was great to see him go back to where he started doing musical theater as a child and speak to the kids there. I had a feeling Danny would be going home, after his performances the last couple weeks. He'll do well with whatever he chooses to do next, for sure.
The song they played the most throughout Kris's going home thing, was one of his best performances. I really love the way he sang it, and it made me realize he does have a good voice.

That's a beautiful song, Cori. Some of the songs he's done this season were awesome.
On this show, the judges look for perfection from the contestants. I've always thought some of them sound alot better than some of our greatest performers. Kris definitely has what it takes to market a great CD. I hope he gets good people to help him. :) His version of "Heartless" was unbelievable. Before Randy gave his opinion, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Karen, I think Adam could still win too. Many times I've thought he was so good it was unfair to the other contestants. The finale is going to be a great show.:)
Wow ADAM was awesome even 9 years ago.
Singing at graduation:

I will be in a class tonight and will miss it but will record it.
I hope he wins.
Too good not to... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zHj...eature=related
Adam pretty much blew Kris out of the water tonight. I can't wait for tomorrow. I know so many people that love Kris. We'll see.
Trying to vote - all of Adam's lines are busy!
ugh am I the only one that always hates the songs that they have written for the winners song? I didn't think that song suited either one of them and they never do. I thought the song was terrible.
No you are not. I didn't like it either. Although I thought Kris did it better than Adam. I could actually understand the words of the song when Kris was singing it. He sang it Daughtry style. :)Quote:

But again, I got the feeling from Adam that he is SOOO arrogant. It was like he was expecting the judges to praise him.
Oh well, it doesn't matter who wins, they will both be successful. :)
I wasn't able to see the performances because we got home late.
We only saw the last 5 minutes when they were giving out the numbers.
I voted for Adam 5 times because I have always liked him.
I usually dislike the final song too. They are too sappy for my taste.
Oh .... and I had no idea that Carrie Underwood sang the song at the end ... the 'home sweet home' song.
I felt stupid that I had never recognised her voice.
Either way.... they both have brilliant futures ahead of them. Danny and some of the others too.
The final song was painful to watch for both Adam and Kris. I think Kris even forgot some of the words.
I was able to get through on Adam's line about 6-7 times. It was pretty busy and I gave up after awhile.
Tonight will be exciting to watch. However, the song they'll have to sing at the end will just kill the whole show.
I agree with everybody else. The songs they designate for them are the worst songs ever. No one can sing them well. Too busy is a good description. Too many words, changes, etc. etc. That one last night was awful. I can see Kara and the gang trying to outdo each other at the writing table. They must have decided to just stick in all of their ideas instead of streamlining it better.
I can't make a call on which one I liked the best. Ugh!!
Adam's Mad World song was AWESOME!! What a talented guy. I think he may be as successful as Carrie Underwood.
Really great show. Lots of good performances.
They were both good but I can't help but feeling that Adam deserved to win a little more than Kris.
Wow, that was a really good finale. Granted, I only watched a handful of episodes this whole season... I will even admit that I do not even know the names of any of the contestants.
I will say that I absolutely loved when Lionel Richie sang with the former idol contestant. Both of them sounded absolutely amazing.
And when the new judge showed up bikini girl... priceless!
Now I can't wait for So You Think You Can Dance! Yay! :D
CONGRATS TO KRIS!!!!
I think I was almost as surprised as Kris was. Before last night, I thought there was a good chance Kris would win. After last night's performances, I thought it would be Adam. His family seemed really surprised too. Adam was such a favorite and he outsang Kris so much, I think he deserved it more too. I don't worry about Adam at all.
I can't believe how awesome the show was tonight. Great job in planning it. I love Carlos Santana. When I saw Queen come on, I thought I would lose it. I love Queen!!!
All the performances were great. I thought the Idol contestants sounded as good or better than the guests. It shows what a good group we had this year.
Now, what will I do without AI until it comes back?:(
OMG Kris won? holy smokes I didn't see that coming at ALL
wow
but tonight was the BEST finale show EVER. Rod Stewart was on... I LOOOOOOOVE him
That was awesome!! I can't believe I was right so long ago about who would win. I must say I'm proud of myself. LOL I never predict these things.....EVER!!
I'm speechless. Goodbye American Idol. Hello So You Think You Can Dance.
I always watch the beginning (it's so funny) skip the middle shows and watch at the end. I am glad Kris won. The judges were really hoping for Adam and I feel that was wrong to pick a favorite and be so vocal about it. Adam a great singer no doubt has the looks which I believe pre-teens go for. He is flashy. Hard to miss. I got a vibe from him in the beginning that he might be gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that!!!!!
But again I think his fan base is young girls. He looks to me a bit like Eddie Munster (does anyone remember that show) add 40 years and 40 lbs and he reminds me of Liberace.

When Adam goes into Fabulous hysterics during his numbers was my big clue.Quote:

I remember Eddie Munster, but we've been calling Adam:
"Adam's family Lambert" for quite some time.
Best performance of the season was his Ring of Fire! (in the phrygian mode)
I did too as did many people. I read somewhere that Kris got Danny's votes because they were both Christian wholesome types.Quote:

I think Adam should have won... and I agree I think there were many others that were voted off that had much better vocals than crooked mouth Kris. :P
ITA. I'm kinda shocked to read that here, but then I don't participate on PT as much as I used to before.Quote:

Let me clarify... (and, please, if you quote me, you should quote the whole post, not just 5 words) I think many people voted for Kris because they really saw him as the better contestant but others voted for Kris because they didn't approve of Adam's (supposed) lifestyle. I'm not calling anyone names here of course ... I was just generalizing. Sorry if I offended anyone.
I hope that people did NOT vote for either one because of being gay or straight or in-between. I hope they voted for pure talent. My reason for the post was that most of the voters I believe are those same pre-teens 11 -16 and I would have thought that Adam was the more attractive to them, but who knows. I at that age adored David Bowie, Jimmy Page, Ringo Starr and Jimmy Morrison, guys like John Denver were too bland for my taste. I don't think a rock stars life style was something I approved or disappoved of, I either found them hot and interesting and talented or not. Rock stars are suppose to be hot and dangerous that is what sells extra seats at concerts.
Although it was never addressed on the show, Adam is definitely gay. He talked about it during an interview... He's done drag.. the whole bit. I always look forward to the gay contestants.. I was really rooting for Nathaniel.. but oh well. =)
I agree with Beeniesmom. I think a lot of people turned to Kris from Danny. I always wondered why he stayed in the competition so long... He was always the one I forgot about. It was like So and So.. Oh yea and Him. I think he'll end up like Reuben and Taylor... One hit wonders. I seriously LOL-ed at your 'crooked mouth' comment. That was too funny.
Watching all the performances last night, we were like... wow they all made it to the top 13? Some of them are just plain awful... Jorge.. :gag: Adam's always been good.. from the beginning. I definitely think he should have won.. oh well.. We all know he'll get signed to do something, whether its singing or performing.
YES! It starts tonight!! We'll have to start a new thread for it. :DQuote:

Freddie Mercury from Queen. Another band that I can't think of the name of right now. And I'm sure there are plenty out there that haven't admitted to it because they are afraid of how they will be accepted. That's just sad.
Anyway, I'm glad Kris won. :)
I forgot to mention how painful it was to watch Megan Joy last night. OMG!!! It was like being tortured.:( :rolleyes: :(
There were so many of those contestants that sang so much better than Kris for sure!!! I just can't see Kris turning into a mega talent. The girls will buy his CD's but can it last??:confused:
I really liked Meagan... until she kind of gave up. Now every time I see her.. she looks like she's just going through the motions. Its sad.Quote:

Me too! I liked his voice.Quote:

(laughing to myself) I am 0 for 2 on picking reality show winners! I picked Gilles on "Dancing with the Stars", and Adam (after Danny left) on "American Idol". Food Network's "Next Food Network Star" starts June 7th, and I will probably not get that one right either. You all better not take me to a casino or have me pick your lotto numbers :eek:!
I heard a previous "American Idol" finalist on the radio (and her name escapes me) saying that being on the show actually hurt her career. She was limited to only certain appearances and publicity because of her agreement with the show, and couldn't do other gigs outside of that.
I think Adam was the better talent of the two, but Kris does well too. Both will get careers out of this, but I actually think Adam is better off not winning, he is free to do what he wants right away, Kris has some AI contracts to fulfill first. I was kinda glad Adam didn't win, but I thought he should have based strictly on the whole season and the talent he has. I don't care one bit about his sexual preference, he wasn't on American gay/straight...I think they have very different styles, both unique and good in their own ways. Danny will do well too imo.
True story, a coworker* of mine said a while back that she wasn't going to vote for Adam "because he's gay." So yeah, there's people like that out there. A lot of them.
*Same coworker that told me I was going to hell because I support gay rights.
So sad. :(Quote:

Adam was a great performer... but I was kinda getting tired of the same thing all the time. he does the exact same scream in every song and it just started to get a little old for me. I also wasn't a big fan of Kris either. So I didn't even vote in the finals... didn't really care who won at that point.
I said before that Danny was my favorite... but I take that back. Allison was my favorite. I thougth she was fantastic and at such a young age to have a voice like that. wow.
and since someone brought up So you think you can dance... did anyone else's episode screw up half way through last night or was it just me that got jipped lol
