Hi...I thought Adam was slightly better last night. His "Change Is Gonna Come" was by far his best of the evening, but I thought Kris' "Ain't No Sunshine" was the best overall. I think bombastic singers like Adam have a natural advantage over quieter artists like Kris in a showdown like this.<br /><br />I think Adam will win and I think he should win, but I'm still pissed that Allison wasn't in the final instead of Kris.<br /><br />More importantly, tonight is the last time I ever have to watch <I>American Idol</I>! I'm done with this show.

So boring and lame. I wasn't inspired to vote last night, but I hope Adam wins. Kris isn't undeserving... in fact, I threw a few votes his way last week. But taking the entire season into account, Adam did more to earn the win (double-edged sword though it may be.) That shitty coronation song... oy veh. I avoid Top 40 radio if possible, but in those unavoidable moments, Adam's version would suck less. Why do they even do the corny coronation songs anyway? Securing rights to release a cover for their first single would make more sense. I'd rather hear <I>Mad World</I> or <I>Ain't No Sunshine</I>. That <I>No Boundaries</I> is pure torture.<br /><br />I enjoy your writing.

If I were either of those ...I LOVE your AI song!!!<br /><br />If I were either of those guys I'd simply refuse to record that POS for Fuller. I'd say, "Look, I signed the paper, and I'll do the shitty kareoke tour with the talentless also rans, but I'm not recording this terrible song.<br /><br />Adams wins. As much as I was rooting agasint him, both him and Chris rasined the bar on AI contestants this year. You can tell they're further along than all the others this and years prior just by the fact that they seemed in control of their own arrangements. I still maintain that their records will be piles of poop, but they both have got pipes and talent.<br /><br />Look forward to your wrap up tomorrow.
