American Idol: Down to 2

Well, how would have thought it was going to go down like this?

The final two for this seasons' American Idol Finale will be Adam Lambert of San Diego, CA and Kris Allen of Conway, AR.

Danny Gokey got robbed last night of the final 2 position and was denyed that opportunity. But he will definately have a career in music.

Could you (or anyone for that matter) have concieved that this was the way it was going to happen? Sure, Adam was a sure shot for a long time. But Kris?? Not saying that Kris hasn't played the game well. He has. He was under the radar the entire time. His hometown visit was surreal and amazing at the same time. But with all that said, was it worthy of final 2? No. Was it fair to Danny to have this happen to him? No. Is Danny a better singer than Kris and Adam put to together? You better believe it.

So, who will I root now for in this competition as we go for the big finale next week? To be honest, I really don't know. Part of me just want to watch and not vote at all. Keep this in mind however: If the stats from last nights voting is correct, and only 1 million votes seperated Kris and Adam, and if it is also correct that Kris got the most votes, than the finale should be a good event. Kris picked up his act at the exact right moment. He is riding a wave that he started. Could this tsumami take out Adam, the Goliath? We will know next Wednesday night.

One other point I want to make for this finale next week. Can Adam become sincere? I really don't think he has shown that side of him yet. Adam knows he is a good singer. He's cocky about it. One look at the smile and the way he conducts himself and you know he knows. But, he needs to shed all that next week, if he wants the best shot in winning it.

Danny Gokey fans, don't fret tho. I'm just disappointed at the Jonas Brothers fan base who put Kris in it. Think about it. 6-14 year olds are possibly going to crown the next American Idol. Ironically, they can't vote in a Presidential or any election in this fine nation. This clearly defines the power of the 'youth vote'. President Obama eat your heart out. LOL.

Anyway, I originally picked Danny from the beginning. And now I made it to the top 3, yet again. Maybe next year I can do better. However, a part of me wishes I can try out for Idol again. Maybe then, America can get it right.
