American Idol finale
Well last night was the big American Idol finale with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen going head to head for the American Idol crown. I don’t know if it was just me but neither one of them did anything great that I hadn’t already seen. They both did a personal favorite of their’s that they had done earlier in the season. Then they did a song chosen for them by American Idol creator Simon Fuller. Lastly they did this years coronation song co written by judge Kara Dio Guardi titled No Boundaries.
The judges seemed to like everything both Adam and Kris sang although Simon said Adam’s singing of Mad World reminded him of Phantom of the Opera and was to theatrical. Simon said Kris won round one after he sang Ain’t No Sunshine.
I don’t think Simon liked the coronation song because after Adam sang it he told him he wasn’t going to judge his performance of the song with all its hurricanes and mountain tops. To me it sounded like he was criticizing it in his own way.
If Ryan Seacrest was right when he said only 1 million votes separated Adam and Kris in the last voting then it is going to be a very close race to see who is the next American Idol.
