Just when you think it's in the bag for Adam. Well, better watch the show tonight and decide.
Tonight was one of the most amazing nights in Idol history as Kris Allen and Adam Lambert hit the stage with a bang.
Round 1: Nostalgia
The season's two best songs were sung again by the two. Kris Allen's phenomenal discovery in "Ain't No Sunshine" possibly gave him the boost to end up in the final seat. Thus, a well-chosen song for the Finale.
Adam Lambert sang presumably the best performance of the season, "Mad World". It was the performance which blew Simon Cowell off his feet and gave Lambert his standing-o.
But tonight, Kris Allen did better. Adam Lambert appeared too theatrical. Kris Allen, with all his simplicity and great artistry made the song work.
So, as Simon says, Round 1 goes to Kris.
PS: I think the song of the season, now, would be Heartless. Last year, it was Always Be My Baby by David Cook.
Round 2: Producer's Choice Sucks
The second round of songs were chosen by the producers.
Kris Allen sang What's Goin' On? with the guitars. It was again, fresh and listening to it really gives delight. He again nailed it even if it was too simple for him to sing.
But then gave an outstanding delivery of the song A Change is Gonna Come. Though I hate his style, I gotta give credit with his again, defying vocals which really sounded good except at times that he's making it rock-ish. Adam's back in the game and gets Round 2.
Round 3: No Boundaries
Kara Dioguardi penned this year's coronation song, No Boundaries. Lame at all levels, and sabotage to Kris. :/
Kris' take on it was as usual simple, with great phrasing and it came out as really fresh. Something he can record in his album. I think it had less impact but will still enable for him to win the game. Kris just amazes anyone with his smooth voice, no need to screech, and how he went from no-show at the auditions to a final two contender. Seeing him on stage just gives you so much goosebumps. Judging from overall growth and likability in the competition, Kris wins this one.
Adam's take on it was better vocally. But it didn't move me, even if his face looks like he's really really in pain. I think he failed on connecting to the audience and the people watching. He has the better range, fit for the song but then, he didn't really up the whole thing to swallow Kris' performance whole. And it wasn't that electrifying as Kris'.
So why will Adam win?
'Cause he was laud to be the best contestant in years. He has that versatility and wide vocal range to carry any song he likes. He has that star potential and charms that might give him a world superstardom status.
But then again, he revealed he was gay (even if it shouldn't matter, it does). And a lot of those fans who wanted their Idols to win (like Matt Giraud, Anoop Desai, Gokey fans wouldn't want for Adam to win) so...
So why will Kris win?
Because he had the most recent pimped performance with Heartless. His momentum has just came. He has the charms that any gay guy or girl would die for. He has that sustaining ability to stand strong in the business. He has such a fresh, unique taste and genre in the industry; it would be hard for him to be ignored.
He was the darkhorse to win this thing and everybody loves growth, which he has shown through and through with his performances.
He has the total package. His albums will sell millions. He has the second best studio recordings. Yes, second to Matt Giraud. His performances were not phenomenal but we're unforgettable. She Works Hard for the Money, Ain't No Sunshine, Fallin' Slowly, Apologize and Heartless are just viral songs he produced this season. They weren't the best and most powerful renditions but they were able to make people want more from him.
Kris Allen shall win American Idol. I hope tomorrow I'd wake up and check the results and will be astonished as Kris wins American Idol. Or this is a cookout.
PS: I can't wait for Matt's solo tomorrow. :]
