American Idol Finale

[hparsh]

Anyone else reaaaaaaaaaaally excited?

I read that Ryan Seacrest phoned into Larry King, and this is how it will go down:

The first round will be a repeat.

The second round will be chosen be Simon Fuller.

The third round will be the first single the winner will be recording.


GO ADAM!!

[IncaMama]

Woohooooo

[treemom2]

I'm very excited!! I think this is the first season where I would be happy if either one of them won!

[AVeryGoodYear]

Tomorrow we're taking a 10+ hour long road trip and I am soooo hoping we're at our destination before AI starts. This is the first season I've ever watched and I am HOOKED!

Actually, they do. Round 3 is the gawd awful song, and supposedly it is written by Kara.

Keith Urban and Jason Mraz will be guests this week too.

[MichaelsSahm]

I think I read that they have to sing the "god awful" song acapella.

[rainsmom]

anyone have any spoilers (song choices) etc for tonight??

[november]

I thought Adam did terrific on his first two songs. Really, really good.

Kris did very well on his first song. Mediocre on the second song.

And as for the third song -- first, I just want to say that the song just sucked in general. But I think Kris really, really botched it (and I have to admit I'm a little glad, LOL). Adam did as well with it as anyone could, I think. I'm disappointed with the song in general though. Blech.

GO ADAM!!!!!!! LAMBERT FOR THE WIN!

[Cranberry]

Round 1 -- contestant's choice of favorite performance of the season

Adam - Mad World
Kris - Ain't No Sunshine
This round was a draw. Both were great.

Round 2 -- producer's choice

Adam - Change is Gonna Come
Kris - What's Goin On
I have to agree with Simon that Kris just didn't bring it on this one. Not good enough. Adam, on the other hand, really nailed it. Adam wins Round 2.

Round 3 -- the craptastic coronation song

Adam - just OK, dawg
Kris - better than Adam
I gotta say, that is one really awful song. Ugh.
Kris wins Round 3.

Overall, it's a tie, but Adam will win.

[jest]

I agree that the third song isn't that good. I thought it was more suited for Kris' style though.

And for anyone who missed the announcement...if you are planning to record the results show tomorrow make sure you plan for it to run overtime!

[rainsmom]

Again I totally agree with Cranberry........

Id like to see Kris win, but really, I dont have alot invested either way.

It will be interesting.........just think what an upset it would be if Kris DID win.

most likely, it will be Adam..........


Did they say who was going to be on the show tomorrow?

[Viola]

I can't wait for it to start! Wait, did it start at 8 or is it 9? Oh well, TiVo will get it.

OMG, REALLY?????????? I Jason Mraz!! (almost as much as I love Adam)

[Drummer's Wife]

that 3rd song really was awful!!

[Princess ConsuelaB]

This year's gawd awful song was even more gawd awful than ever before. Neither one of them did well with it but they did what they could considering just how much that song sucked.

Really. It was horrible.

Just....bad.

I think Adam won both songs but I really liked Kris' Ain't No Sunshine

It was BAD. They both sang it differently, but both versions still sucked. Not much a singer can do to a song that awful. I thought it was hilarious that even Simon slammed it. Is it me, or is there NO LOVE between Simon and Cara?

And WTH was Randy wearing last night?

I am a Kris fan, but I thought the best performance last night was Adam's second song. I was blown away! He rocked that song.

[Adamsmama]

I think Kris did well last night. Mad World was good, though. I'm a Kris fan and thought he did well last night. I like both of his first 2 songs. That third song wasn't right for either of them. It sound like it was written for a female diva type.

Anyway ... I would love to see Simon's reaction if Kris wins tonight. I absolutely can't stand how they are all lovey over Adam.

[Rsmom]

I'm not going to comment on the snoozefest that was last night. I just wanted to see if anyone knew who is supposed to be on tonight?

[Awaken]

Honestly I thought their songs from the rest of the season were more exciting than on the finale.

Adam was good, but looked to be in pain during the second song. That bugs me in a performer. However, while not a fan, I do admit he is a multifaceted, super talented guy and deserves to win.

Kris was great on the first song, and I agree with simon, the second was too laid back and casual for a finale. I think they are both great performers, just so different- it's hard to say who 'wins' because each has won in his own genre.

I hated the corny inspirational song- why oh why do they insist on doing them??? In fact I thought Danny would have probably been the best for that type of song! I thought it suited Kris better than Adam but didn't like either. I'm only imagining if Alison was in the finale having to do that song

I would have liked to see Adam rock it out more and really go out with a bang, and would have liked to see what Alison would have chosen.
