Good finale, but i felt like Adam was clearly superior tonight. The little guy was just ok on song 2, and really was not good at all on song 3. He nailed song 1 though.
I felt like Adam was very good on all 3, particularly song 2. He should win by merit, but who knows if the whole gay thing or the "anti adam" element will come into play. Its now 11:30est and ive only been able to get through 3 times to vote. ADAM SONG 1: KRIS SONG 1: ADAM SONG 2: KRIS SONG 2: ADAM SONG 3: KRIS SONG 3: The creators song choices and the coronation songs definitely did not wow me for either contestant. I felt the creators songs were totally uninspired selections (though the judges LOVED adams Sam Cooke song), and honestly- i thought the coronation song co-written by one of the judges sucked.(worse than usual) Both contestants phone lines are still all but impossible to get through on. Whoever's phone lines clear out first will be your loser. Last edited by m21sniper; 05-19-2009 at 07:51 PM.. |

I'm not sure if it's the gay thing that makes me sick or the fact that the judges had already crowned him AI very early on.

If i can ever get through on the phone i'm gonna vote for him though. For some reason my texts dont go through at all. I would have voted for little guy if he deserved it on merit tonight, because i like him too, but IMO he was barely even average in songs 2 and 3. |

Nah, Kris can't win. I actually thought Lambert was a very good singer tonight. His Mad World is going to be a big seller on iTunes.

Looks like you're right.
12:15am EST, Lamberts line is still spotty to get through on (about 4 out of 5 calls not getting through). Getting through on the little guys line no problem now. No busy signals at all for Mr. Allen. Not a good sign for Kris. |

Dial Idol is showing Kris slightly ahead, but well within the margin of error....so who knows, it seems it's very close either way. (DI doesn't reflect text votes and has been wrong several times this year)

Zabasearch(usually quite accurate- has successfully predicted the winner in seasons 5, 6, and 7) is predicting Adam Lambert as the winner. No actual vote tally listed yet (i'll hold off on posting that here in case people don't want to know- but it should be on their site well before the show airs tonight).
May 20, 2009 Most Votes- Adam / Kris- Least Votes May 13, 2009: Most Votes - Adam / Kris / Danny - Least Votes May 6, 2009: Most Votes - Adam / Danny / Kris / Allison - Least Votes April 29, 2009: Most Votes - Adam / Danny / Kris / Allison / Matt - Least Votes http://www.zabasearch.com/ai_stats.php Zaba's statistics indicated Lambert has never been in the bottom 3 and was in fact 1st the week the producers announced him as such. Go figure. The comment ratio on Zaba's site is hugely in favor of Lambert to the tune of about 4.5:1. (AL- 3359, KA- 712) On MJ's Blog the performance videos were ranked by popularity as follows. (so far this season this has been a very accurate prediction of who was going home): Lambert: #2, #3, #5 Allen: #7,#8,#11 Lambert also again holds a large edge in video comments posted. I'm gonna go out on a fairly sturdy limb here, and call Adam Lambert the winner.

That 3rd Kara song was horrific.
The envelope was way too full. There was no room in the arrangement for vocals. Adam tried to out power the song and Kris tried the opposite approach by toning it down. Don't think either really worked. Lyrics were too wordy, did not seem either had much breathing room. I enjoyed Adams 2nd song. I think he wins. He is the better performer.

Agree on Kara's song, it is -not- getting good comments from any of the sites that follow AI. It was really quite hideous.
That being said, i think Adam delivered it about an order of magnitude better than Kris did...though his version of it still, well, sucked. As they say, "You can't polish a turd." |

I agree...Kara's song was lousy. It didn't make the use of either contestant's talents. Was it me or did it seem like they had about an hour to learn the song? When Adam was done, I told my wife that that was his worst performance. Not from a singing standpoint, but from the selling standpoint. Adam always sells all his performances and it just seemed like his heart wasn't into that song....same with Kris.

The Kara song was atrocious. You know what it reminded me of? If I was watching Saved by the Bell, and the Zack Attack wrote an original song and played it. In other words, it seems like something a cheesy fake band on a sitcom would play. The lyrics were just dumb piled on dumb- like an 8th grader wrote them. Seriously, she wrote a steamer (as in steamy pile of poo) with that one.
Kris was kinda screwed by his 2nd two choices, which he had no control over. |

I couldn't get in a vote via text at all.
Altogether i probably got in about 20 votes for Lambert, all via the phone. There was a little lull in the voting from about 11-11:30 EST, that's when i got all of them in. Last edited by m21sniper; 05-20-2009 at 11:13 AM.. |
