I take that back. They both STRUGGLED like hell with this shit song. This was definitely not a winning performance. I think backstage Adam is smiling, because Kris just gave him the competition (shrieks and all!)

You know what's funny? I agree with y'all that Adam was shrieky and out of key in spots (He actually conjured up thoughts of Gatorade commercials or those "Real Men of Genius" ads with his song) but I still think he did better than Kris. Kris is just too... vanilla... to be idol.

Hmmmmm, I am liking both performances(starting to sound like Paula with liking everything tonight. :P)...but Kris definitely handles the yelling or screaming in songs better than Adam does at times, I think. I love Adam but I almost think he tries to sound like a woman whenever he sings those SCREAMS(though he toned it down for this performance).

Now that I have heard both sing the song:

1. Stupid song

2. Thought Kris was slightly better, but I don't think the band helped either guy.

Again it is going to come to what you like in deciding who is going to win. Adam is the theater guy and I just think Kris is the guy next door. I do think both have future careers outside of Idol.

I hate coronation songs, lol. I wouldn't judge either guy on their performances of it. I have to agree that in a different key, that might have actually been a good song for Kris. He made it seem less cheesy than Adam did, but I'm not going to criticize Adam either because it just wasn't really a good song for either of them.

Stupid question Ryan. Who's going to answer that? I remember what happened to my beloved Latoya London when she acknowledged her genius.

Erm, looking back on the montage, this really was NOT one of American Idol's best nights.

I love when they sing the coronation song on the final competition night with the montage of the season.

Yeah, I think he is too. I don't think he has ever wowed me and I don't find him all that entertaining.

Ugh, I really hate that song. Did you notice when Simon criticized it, Kara was like, "I know, I know?" You're the one that wrote it, bitch! Anyway...

Kris Allen singing No Boundaries - Not much better than Adam's version, but I did prefer Kris. I feel like Kris sang the song a little too high, but at least he didn't bust my eardrums like Adam. For that reason alone, I preferred Kris's version, LoL. It definitely wasn't his best performance of the night though. Did you notice that he forgot the lyrics near the beginning? That's always a big no no.

Carrie Underwood doesn't sound too hot tonight.

VOTE KRIS! VOTE KRIS! VOTE KRIS!!

Oh, and that little recap montage definitely suited Kris more than Adam, IMO. Whereas Adam only had clips of him shrieking, we actually saw versatility with Kris going from the piano to the guitar to just the microphone. Hopefully that helps him.

VOTE KRIS! VOTE KRIS! VOTE KRIS!

I think that song was written for Gokey. Screw you Kara!

I really hope we have a more exciting or better finale tomorrow night. I mean I liked the singing and all, but really, this was a blah episode.

I think I've gotten through to Kris at least 30-40 times, but I've gotten a lot of busy signals too. The first time I tried to call I must have hit a wrong number because I got a message to get a pencil because this was going to cost $4.99 a minute . . . who knows what porn line I accidentally called.

Stupid question Ryan. Who's going to answer that? I remember what happened to my beloved Latoya London when she acknowledged her genius.
Is that what happened? I don't remember but people always referred to a mistake she made. I LOVED Latoya.

The song I felt wasn't bad but they really should've let them rearrange it. I felt Kris actually changed it a little bit. It seemed slower and I felt he did a better job with the song because he moved around and I felt his emotion more. He felt like he went for it. It felt like Adam hated the song and tried but didn't go all out.

Either way, I don't know who won the night. They each had one FANTASTIC performance on the first songs, which were coincidentally their choice. Fuller's choices sucked. He made Clive look genius. Both Kris and Adam's second songs were boring and qualified as decent at best but I give the edge to Adam there. As I said, I feel like Kris did better on the coronation song. You could tell Kara felt she limited both Adam and Kris, as if she realized the song wasn't really something that worked out well even though it wasn't a bad song. I like that it wasn't the traditional coronation song. It just reeked of being suited for Danny Gokey IMO.

So, all in all, I felt it was tied and it all comes down to taking everything into account. I actually felt the judges weren't too bad tonight. The only time the pimping felt like too much was on the second song. Simon was right on the third song with Adam as he is one of the best and most original contestants ever. I like that the judges were pretty fair tonight. Maybe last week taught them a lesson when they lost Gokey. Imagine the lesson we could teach them if Adam lost. They would really realize that they need to be more fair and less manipulative. I actually think there wasn't a whole lot of reverse psychology going on. I thought there was but, as I said, overall they seemed fair.

In all honesty, maybe it's the Nokia theater, which is awesome, but the last two years with the finale there I haven't felt the same intensity. We no longer have that epic final coronation song performance that wins someone the competition. The last two years the big emotional moment has come on the results night so I expect that tomorrow. Kris nearly delivered it but didn't come all the way. The past two years have been good, just not great. Thankfully, tomorrow night will bring it, just like last year.

I will be voting for Kris. I like both and both did well tonight. It's very close and both will be successful no matter what but I just feel like voting for him. I won't feel bad if either one wins. It also helps that it would piss off the judges and the show and maybe help them to continue to improve as far as fairness and pimping goes. They were better tonight but have a ways to go. Also, Kris's family and wife seem so nice and sweet and that little girl was adorable. They kept showing her and Kris' family, which shocked me because that will only help Kris with the voting. It just makes me wonder if maybe they realize Kris would be a good Idol winner too.

Also, nice seeing my Carly Smithson in the audience. She looks great and can't wait for her to appear tomorrow night. It also made me sad to see Alison in the audience. She should've been here. Ugh.

Kris and Adam were so cute at the end of the show pointing to each other when asked who should win. I always like seeing two close friends in the finale. You can tell they genuinely like each other and that makes it more fun and enjoyable, unlike season 5 with Taylor and Katherine where I felt tension.

Carrie was great. I loved her hair and boots. The montage sucked though. Why did they spend so much time on the auditions in the montage? They barely showed anything from after top 36. Stupid. They are usually better with those. Hope we better ones tomorrow since I know we will get one or two more montages most likely.

Also, kudos to Idol for warning people about tomorrow going way overtime. We all figured that would happen with so much going on but nice that they acknowledged it. They clearly learned their lesson. I figure they may not end until 11:00. All that airs is Seinfeld reruns so I don't see them worrying about it as long as they are off before 11 so I will make sure to program the show for 3 hours.

Just in case this is my last post I just want to say I will miss you all and have fun watching the show tomorrow. I wish I could be here to live post with you all but I really need this vacation LOL. It's funny how I'm going at the same point I did last year LOL and have to miss the finale just like last year but I will be sure to come here and comment as soon as I return just like before. I'm planning on catching some of the show in the hotel if I'm around my room tomorrow and I should catch some of it considering it's going overtime. Maybe I will get to a computer and surprise you all but don't expect it so have fun and enjoy and I will see you all in a week! :smile: .

I can't even get through and so far my team of voters only has gotten in 3 times and there is like 12 of them LOL.

I have a feeling Kris is going to win. Going last may help him and the fact that neither one of them really did anything hufe after their first performances should help him too. The Danny fans, anti-Adam fans, people hating the pimping, Kris' fans...I think he may take this but we'll see. Still early yet.
