If anyone has any doubts about Adams talent, please spend $1.50 or whatever it is and download "One" from ITunes – absolutely incredible rendition, not like what was on the show, you will be floored.
I think the song"No Boundaries" was terrible and neither of them sang it very well. But I think the judges' behavior was worse. They basically told Kris (between the lines) that he sucked and wouldn't win. They were very reserved in their comments with him as opposed to what they offered Adam. How sad.
People keep referring to Adam's screaming...HELLO!! Screaming??? Have you ever heard Steven Tyler? Axl Rose? AC/DC? And half of the rock bands out there today? Not to mention that Adam can sing, slow melodic songs TOO!!!! Half of the songs he sang on the show were mellow. Being able to sing everything shows true talent.
Seriously, is there really a question which of these two is the better singer/performer? Adam, hands down, without question. When they sing back to back you can really tell the difference in the lack of stage presence and strength Chris doesn't have. He'll probably sell a couple CDs, but will be nowhere close to the career Adam has ahead of him. A star is born.....
This should not be a headline on the main CNN page until AFTER IT AIRS ON THE WEST COAST!
Kris is a true artist. I'm not so sure about Adam. I can't stand it when he rolls his tongue and screaches more like a girl. Hope Kris wins. He is very deserving of it.
OMG! Adam just sang Mad World. I got goosebumps all over again. He put a different twist to it again. A+ for Adam!!!!!!!
Adam and Kris, good luck to both of you during tonight's show! I hope that you are both able to obtain fair results, due to ( no criticism intended here ) the fact that I believe that Adam is "talked up" more by the media than Kris, giving him, I feel, almost an unfair advantage in the results poll. If Kris had the same "opportunity" in this department as Adam, how might he fair? What we need is to vote for our favorite here, not whether he is a "dark horse" or a "dark prince." Because when it comes down to it, who says?
REASONS to VOTE ADAM american idol 2009:
he has a strong voice
he has a balanced voice
his vocals are not shaky
his vocals INCLUDE NON screaming, NON screeching, NON yelling vocal notes
his songs choices INCLUDE CALM, QUIET, NON loud songs
he interacts with the audience, in studio and at home
he takes all criticism into consideration
he does NOT disrespect others
he does NOT talk back to judges in a rude matter
PLEASE REMEMBER AMERICAN IDOL IS A SINGING COMPETITION
Good thing AZ stays on standard time (EDST-3) and my horses and goats need to be fed about the time this will air... I can't believe folks watch this drivel. AND, will Carrie wreck another Randy Travis song tonight? Oh boy, what I'll miss, huh? A lot of people have WAY too much time on their hands if "Idol" is a "can't miss" !
I'm sure that Gay Goth Guy will win.
The Dark Horse vs The Dark Prince? I love It!!
May the Dark Prince win it all.
so sick of adam's screaming, hope kris wins.
It is very unfair that Adam is basically a professional to compete with an ature. This show was supposed to be about undiscovered talent and that is Kriss. If he doesn't win i'm much less inclined to continue watching this show.
I am so glad Adam came along. American Idol is usually a semi-interesting competition. Adam is DIFFERENT. He is unique and multi-talented, unlike any other performer on the show-ever. He has proven he can sing any genre and all without missing a note. I look forward to hearing and seeing him in the future no matter what happens on the show.
Adam will win because TPTB at the show want him to win in order to counter all the homophobia charges they've incrued over the years. However, Adam will not ever even once say that he is gay until AFTER he wins. "First openly gay winner"? Yeah, right. Tell us another one.
All I have to say is that on Adam's blog on AI website there are close to 12,000 posts and growing by the minute all obsessive love for Adam and on Kris's last check 888. Hmmmm ADAM ROCKS no matter what the outcome.
America please do not assume that Adam will win.He needs your votes! I think Danny went home because people assumed he wouldn't and they did not vote.Please do not make that mistake with Adam.Love him or hate him , he is the best.Please vote tonight!!
No one has come along that has this type of charisma, sex appeal and talent since Elvis Presley. Vote for Adam Lambert.
A pretty good season overall, though it lost a lot of spark when Allison departed.
I haven't been this exctited about American Idol since Season 1! GO ADAM!
I like Adam's dres tyle alot, but his voice kinda turns me off. Kris has a great voice, and his stle is okay, in the end as much as I want Kris to win this one I think it's gonna be Adam.
Hope Adam wins tonight...he truly is the most talented idol EVER!!! Stop throwing the gossip about him up all the time...It' about singing????
Adam Lambert..... So far over the top that he doesn't even resemble a singer anymore. Outstanding when he actually shows some self control, but garbage the rest of the time. The mark of a good vocalist is knowing when to control themselves, I guess people will vote for the biggest show off, not necessarily the best vocalist.
Adam is the best and deserves to win. It's Adam all the way to the top
Adam is the best and deserves to win. It's Adam all the way to the top!
We are anxiously waiting to hear Adam tonight. If he's runner up, it will be disappointing BUT he's been discovered!! His parents have totally supported him and that shows you who he really is. You can tell he's the real thing.... vocally talented, charming, lovable, edgy.....the whole package. My 83 year old mother who is visiting watched past episodes on Tivo and fell in love with you and my 15 year old daugther adores you!! Adam you're the best thing that has happened to the music industry in a long time!! Can't wait for you to come to NY or NJ to perform.
Kris you are the head of the class! Arkansas knows how to grow some talent!
I firmly believe that Adam Lambert is tops over Kris, Adam's voice ranges (several) and style are unique. His presence for some people is fascinating and just remember that is a SINGING COMPETITION and nothing else. He is who he is and has all of my respect for being hones and as he says I am who I am, I am a HONEST guy and I want to CONTINUE singing and that is that. Good luck Adam and I hope that all the american people sees the great voice and per formance you show and nothing else. America lets be hones at honor the talent.

I really don't care who wins now. Down to the two with the most versatility. Either one is fine in my book. Good luck to both of the finalists.
Go Kris!! I am rooting for you all the way. I will be a fan and buy your music. Good luck babe!
Go Kris...it's refreshing to hear good music. I like Adam but man oh man, enough screaming already. My votes for him were lost after listening to him scream through and destroy U2.
I think that both Kris and Adam will sing well tonight. However, I think Kris will stand out more because of the way he arranges music and takes chances. I know what to expect from Adam, I never really know what I'm going to get from Kris and that's what makes him good.
This will be the suckiest A.I. ever and I will not be tuning in... I will say this, I can't wait to hear Gokey and Lil Rounds records when they come out...
Adam is clearly the top dog and I hope he will win American Idol this season. His performances have never let me down. I'm over 50 and I like his style of presentation and want to download all his singles. He is by far the best contestant EVER. I love him.
Although I do enjoy watching/listening to both contestants, I'm hoping Kris will win. Perhaps he'll receive all of Danny's votes. Looking forward to a great show!
Adam is very nice looking. But he freaked me out with the colored fingernails. This is to much for me. A man should not have nail polish on. I'm not that crazy about his voice either.
I think Chris should win. He is good looking, can really sing, and not all made up like Adam. He's a natural. Very talented singer too.
