I was chatting with the ladies at work and one in particular, who I would have thought was an Adam fan, is very put off by his professional experience ("he got a break already"I know.) and the fact that he's being over-hyped to the high heavens. She thinks he's talented but is totally loving cutie-pie Kris (she was also an Allison fan). She said, "But - if Adam sings Elvis, I'll HAVE to vote for him..." So, for a certain demographic, Adam would probably win himself some fans or at least some votes if he does Elvis.

You can see they really do get along and they are 'real' friends. I mean you know they all say "oh yeah we get along" and "we are such good friends" and you know that sometimes its just words and they don't say what they really want to say. Them joking with each other as if they were just hanging out is just too cute. I have been a major Adam supporter from the beginning but have liked Kris too. The finale is going to be great! Who better to lose to than a friend. But then again there really isn't any losers here. One will be named the 2009 American Idol but they both will walk away as winners and go on to amazing careers and they both deserve it. Now if only I can speed up time because the waiting is killing me!!!!! Watching this video gives me the warm fuzzies.

True. Although, a lot of Canadians hate Celine. I happen to like her, but IMO her voice is a little 'thin', and her Vegas stint (complete with the uber-tan and platinum blonde hair) was way OTT in a big bad way. I think she 'jumped the shark' there. Time to bring on some NEW giant talent in Canada, methinks. We've only had one female Idol in Canada so far, so I think it's time, and if she were big and bold like Adam I would totally love it; so would Canada as a whole - we do love strange and OTT things (see Jacob Hoggard, lol).

Not only does it have giant potential for trainwreck, but it would be pretty much like shooting yourself in the foot (hand?) as a writer. Having said that, we ARE talking about Kara "Studio 57/Saturday Night Live" DioGuardi, so anything's possible!

I love her songs, and was sad that she stopped recording when Rene was sick, 'cos it would be hard to get back on top again. I saw the TV special of Celine Dion in Vegas with the Cirque du Soleil-like sequences. Think was the same choreographer for both Cirque and Celine. As Kris would say, Kick Awesome!

I remember Matt said that Kris wore his support bracelet, in the week that he was saved. The moments after the Matt save were also Solidarity moments that I remember fondly.

There's a couple techniques that in my work we try to get people to do when interacting with the media (eye contacts, giving straight answers, repeating a question to give yourself more time to think about the answers). Not everyone I work with can do this of course but Adam just seems natural at it. And Kradam is adorable! I think I will miss the weekly dose of Kradam a lot after this season ends.

But I'm sure that whatever he does will be all kinds of awesome. And I looooove that press conference. Those two guys are so funny, and it makes me happy that they such good friends. I'm really glad they're in the mindset of just going out there and doing the best they can do, rather than trying to one-up each other. If they were the same type of artist (i.e. both OTT rockers, or both 'love ballad' or 'slow rock'), it would be tougher, I think. I love the way that Kris seems to be kind of protective of Adam with respect to any questions that seem like they're trying to bring up the stupid "is he or isn't he" debate. Way to stick up for your buddy, Kris! This is going to be a close race. I'm almost glad that I don't live in the States and can't vote - so I can at least <em>attempt</em> to be uninvested in the outcome. I'm just going to keep telling myself "It is what it is. Quà © sera, sera." Hopefully that will keep me calm until the end of the show tomorrow night. ...And after that, I will never watch this damn show again. Anything that comes after this past season will be anticlimactic to the extreme - unless they find Adam's female counterpart (maybe they'll find her in Canada!), but that's about a 1 in 10million shot so I'm not holding my breath. ‘Mad World’ – Personally I hope he doesn’t do it acappella, as the piano arrangement in his original performance was stunning and slays me every time I listen to it (which is probably about 300 times by now).
