I dunno, Kenny. Adam's not the second coming. LoL! Mad World was better the first time. I wasn't as into it.
I was awesome! It was better than the first version by a mile. I loved it! Seriously... LOVED it.

Even so, first round still goes to Kris!

Adam singing Mad World - Absolutely gorgeous. Best performance of the season! I loved the way it looked like he was walking in the clouds, LoL. Very introverted performance, no shrieking. I LOVED IT.

Kris singing Ain't No Sunshine - Best performance of the season, by a mile. I loved him on the piano. I loved the way it started slow, then got a little faster and then slowed back down in the end. His vocals were perfect. Gorgeous, gorgeous!

Did you notices how the judges weren't acting so goo-goo ga-ga over Adam even though he gave an incredible performance? It's all about the reverse psychology. They want to scare his fans into voting and they also don't want it to look so obvious that he's going to win... hence Simon calling Round 1 for Kris.
I agree and the reverse psychology was obvious, especially since in the next round the Adam pimp parade returned in full force.

I will comment more later but shocked to see Katie Holmes and Suri in the audience. They never seem to be at public things like this.

I don't like Fuller's song choices at all. Lame.

Color me shocked that Kenny loved something of Adam's LOL.

I disagree. I liked his first performance, but this one wasn't that great. I thought it was boring.

ETA: ITA with what Simon just said.

WOW! This is some much like comparing apples and oranges. Two completely different artists. I am really enjoying this because they are both so different.

Randy and Simon....Just because someone doesn't belt out a song at the top of their lungs doesn't mean they didn't sell the song.

I'll take laid-back instead of over the top any day, Simon.

Kris is definitely adorable--the beginning was a little weak but he really picked it up. Nobody will ever compare to the great, great Marvin Gaye for me, but I just really like Kris and liked his version.

Randy just shut up. I wouldn't mind if they got rid of him next season...... :rolleyes:

What the hell was Kris supposed to do with that song?!? I mean it's not exactly a song you can make into one of Adam's theatrical performances.

Kris is a hottie tho.

Adam reminds me of Tom Pelphrey. The potential is literally there, but they just need someone to reign them in.

This finale is FLYING by.

Kris singing Fuller's choice - Really bad song for tonight. However, I thought he did a decent job with it. He switched it up and made it his own, but I feel like it was kind of lightweight for a finale performance. Still, very good. Not vocally flawed or anything. It was decent.

Screw Simon for saying he didn't do anything with it to make it his own. Such bullshit! It might not have been the most exciting performance in the history of the show, but he most certainly DID make it his own! Pssh. I hate Simon, LoL.

Come on guys, Adam may be over-the-top, but that doesn't mean that Kris did a good job with this song. He slept walked his way through the song. They have a point. This is the finale. You should be singing like it was your last. I like Kris, but he came up short there. I'm not saying he had to scream, but there was little emotion, range, or energy in that one. Better luck in round 3. And we all know Simon will say TIE. LoL.

I love how the judges act like Kris picked the song.

I thought he did ok, not great. He did make it his own though so Simon is being dumb. Kris could've performed it a bit better but message songs like that tend to be a bit more mellow. Glad Kara appreciated it.

I see the judges are setting them both up to be tied going into the last round, just like they usually do. It's clear the Adam pimping is back. Kris really needs to go for it now. The good thing is we are seeing too polar opposites tonight in terms of artists so that is interesting.

Fuller's choices were worse then Clive's. Ugh. They also keep showing Kris' family and that little girl from his family so maybe they are trying to help him out with votes because that would help seeing a cute little girl and his adorable wife and family.

Wow, this one isn't good. I feel like the background is fading him out. Definitely Adam's worse performance of the night. I think he's burned out.

Conversely, Kris may be more subtle, but that doesn't mean Adam did a good job with his loud vocals.

For me, it's about which type of performer I prefer. It would have taken Kris completely bombing for me to not vote for him, and frankly if he had completely bombed I just wouldn't vote. For me, "Ain't No Sunshine" was good enough by itself to justify voting for him and neither of Adam's performances moved me like that one did.

I agree with the poster that said Kris and Adam are two different artists. I think I prefer Kris though. However, both have flaws that they need to work on. I didn't watch this season, but it's apparent to me tonight.

Kris does the same song? I think he'll do a better job. This one suits him more.

Okay, that "No Boundaries" song sucked out loud. LoL @ Simon bashing the cheesy lyrics. It was corny from top to bottom, but I digress.

Adam singing No Boundaries - Terrible. Shrieky, shouty. Very pitchy! He sang it too loud from start to finish. Some of his facial expressions were creepy. The whole thing was bad.

Did you notice how none of the judges (except Randy) actually critiqued the performance? They all waxed poetic about how he's been one of the best contestants ever, blah blah blah... but Randy was the only one who actually critiqued the PERFORMANCE. That's because it sucked and the other three didn't want to admit it, so they all beat around the bush instead.

Well, I liked the song. Kara did a good job avoiding making it too cliche as is typical for Idol coronation song.

I appreciated that Adam sang is and didn't go too over the top with it but I do feel like the background faded him out and I don't think the song was suited for him. It felt more suited for Danny Gokey, which makes me wonder if they had set this up for Danny to win. It was ok but it lacked the typical Idol coronation emotion and intensity.

Kris could do this well, I think, especially since the song seems more suited for Gokey. Shocked Randy wasn't on Adam's pimp wagon and Simon simply complimented the whole season but I think he feels like the performance was disappointing so who knows. Maybe the judge's want him to lose to avoid the backlash. Kris could take this if he does well on this song. I hope he does.

Paula is a mess tonight. She looks like she could care less about being on Idol. Randy looks like a dork in what he is wearing. That is not him.
