But, your blatant criticism of Danny has pushed me over the edge this year. What did you do when you lost your spouse at age 28? I'll be you cannot answer that. To say that someone cannot make a rational judgement right after that - all I can say is, speak for yourself, if that is the case. I am really disappointed in your comments.

Even though it doesn't always turn out that way, that's the idea. Somebody earlier questioned Kelly Clarkson's potential to last another 10 years, I remember that same concern being brought out when she won Idol 7 years ago. Was she going to make it more than one album? Here she is on her 4th. Season 2 had a much more suspenseful feel to it, and look where it got the top 2. Season 5 was the same (though we did get Daughtry out of that season, and Elliott). I think this finale will have to be 'scripted' differently than years past because of how different the two are. Last year, I feel as though Simon's comments were a little out of date because it was a mixing of an old Idol finale (with Archie's song choices and performances) with a new school (with Cook's concert approach). This year, I feel as though both will try to bring out a concert feel as they are both artists. Adam certainly has the talent to flip the pop world on its back (I know he's rock, but I just don't see rock embracing him because of the Idol background.) Kris has major AC vibes about him and should do well there. The winner, though isn't something I'm entirely ready to call. I picked Kris in my pool just because I'm so far out of it, I've got nothing to lose. Neither does he. The point of Idol is to produce long term stars, we know that.

With the exception of Season 5, I think most people have probably had a good idea of who was going to go all the way. Additionally, I can't wait to see what Allison and Kris can produce post-idol, and I'm sure it'll be fun to watch Adam's career develop into something huge whether he wins or not. Having said that, I agree with you MJ that Adam will more than likely win. Unless Kris can produce something buzzworthy like "Hearltess" again, I can't imagine Adam losing. He's got more momentum going to into the top 2 and will no doubt give a great performance. But if Kris delivers a showstopper, we might all be surprised.

He has inspired me to get back to pursuing my left-behind dreams. His music makes me happy. I can't stop listening to him, dancing to his music, and feeling alive. And I will be voting for him tomorrow night, no matter what he does. That said, BOTH of these guys are tremendous artists. They are two of the three (Allison would be my third) who consistently, week after week, interpreted songs THEIR way - staying true to themselves and their own styles. Look at Adam's "Ring of Fire" and Chris's "She Works Hard for the Money". Very different performances, for sure, but both very unique, original and ones that I want to listen to over and over again. I think the voters will decide this one. Adam has been trying to succeed in music for years without pursuing anything else - even though it has been very difficult. In my opinion, he deserves the "Idol" crown. But Kris, without the pure ambitious drive of Adam, has continued to stick it out, week after week, with great, interesting performances. Is Kris as good of a "vocalist" as Adam? No. Is Kris as good of a performer as Adam? Depends on what kind of performance you like. Kris's is certain more understated than Adam's. Is Kris as good of an "artist" as Adam? I think so. Their artistic visions are very different, to be sure, but they are BOTH artists. They both can take an old song, reinterpret it, and make you listen to it differently. They are both a breath of fresh air. I love them both. I think Kris will do very well in the U.S. and has a long career in front of him. I think Adam will do very well world-wide (look at all the posts from all over the world on his forum on AI), will be touring for a long time, and will also have tons of other opportunities - such as starring on Broadway (I, for one, would LOVE to see him in a reprise of Rocky Horror), Vegas, and movies (I'd love to see him with Johnny Depp - two guys with "guyliner" ;-). What, to me, is MOST satisfying about this final (and I've never watched AI before, so I have nothing to compare it to), is that the PUBLIC has told the judges who THEY want to see. The judges' attempt to manipulate and control the public's votes by dissing what, to me, is the greatest female performance of a Joplin song I have ever seen by anyone other than the great Janis herself, was reprehensible. Also, their clear preference for Danny Gokey's horrendous performance of "Dream On" over Kris's interesting reinterpretation of "Come Together" made me almost nauseous. I don't think I'll watch AI again because I don't think I can stomach the biased, unfair judging. But I WILL go to any concert I can to see Adam Lambert perform. I will also go see Kris. I wish them both long, satisfying, productive careers and look forward to hearing from them for many years to come. First off, let me say I’m a HUGE Adam fan.

That's rather funny actually. The only AI contestant Adam might directly compete with is Jennifer Hudson if he has a hit Broadway play with a soundtrack release and wins a Tony and a Grammy and an Oscar all in one year. He won't be in the same music niche as any of the AI winners or successful finalists, if his original music is any indication. Cook competing with Daughtry yes but I don't think Daughty is concerned on that score either. Fans of a particular style of music tend to enjoy more than one artist in that style. That is why Daughtry opening for Nickelback was a genius move. Maybe Cook and band can hop on that Nickelback freight train next ride out. Adam competing with Daughtry? That’s rather funny actually.
