Is only for people who use the software; 2. Has a ginormous margin of error meaning current numbers are a statistical dead heat; 3. The raw numbers have Adam ahead depending on what numbers you "choose" to look at. SO - I think technically is a close close race and I think that "A change is gonna come" and once again, America choose progress over middle of the road, more of the same.

Round 1 i was stuck to choose between the two. Loved both of them, but Adam won by a hair (or by a coat!) Round 2 i prefered Adam a lot. I just didn't like Kris's song that much And the less said about that steaming turd that Kara wrote the better!! I think Kris will edge it tonight on votes, but Adam has been my winner all season long! How long is the final tonight? Just wondering as it may not actually be done by the time i get up to go to work tommorrow!!! (5 hour time difference means it usually finishes here around 3am!)

Did anyone here who texted in votes have that problem? I did. I also only got through once for Kris in 2 hours. The first couple times I called all of Kris's 3 phones lines, I got the message that the phone number was either not a working number or not in service. I'm not trying to call out Idol shenanigans, but it seems kind of odd to me. Did anyone who voted for Adam have that problem?

I loved Kris's Ain't No Sunshine, but the rest of the show was Adam's by a mile. And he never looked hotter! And I agree with everyone - the Corn song sucked big time! I feel really down now.

I never ever ever ever again want to hear Adam have to suffer through that abomination that Kara wrote. E.V.E.R. If he wins, I might mute the tv during the confetti shower and listen to ACIGC. Other than him being stuck with the worst song to hit the airwaves (because, steaming pile of shit that it is, it'll still get spins), I'm praying for him to be doused in confetti, and have time on tour to help Kris learn how to really use his voice.

Listening to him, and now, watching in higher def on tv, it's clear he sings from his throat. That's crappy and dangerous vocal technique. It quickly wears your voice down, robs it of its full potential of depth and rich texture, and makes it much harder to stay in pitch, much less control your breath or vibrato. (Notice how he got progressively pitchier and his his voice was less controlled/ more shouted with each performance?) If he doesn't get lessons soon, he'll kill his voice quite quickly with all the touring ahead. I can't believe none of the vocal coaches on AI have mentioned this to him, or given him help refining his technique in all these weeks. He needs to learn to use that diaphragm, and let the sound resonate through his throat, not push the sound from his throat.

"I went to the live taping of the finale show today, and all I have to say is that Adam's voice is beautiful live. I literally sat there and stared with my mouth wide open. That boy can do no wrong. I have seen a lot of concerts, but I don't think I've heard a voice like that in a long time. MW was beautiful. It was perfect, down to that last note. And his long jacket? HOT HOT HOT. My only problem with it was that I've watched the old performance so many times that I feel like I know MW backwards & forwards. ACIGC was FUCKING AMAZING. I almost died. NB was good, but not great, but I credit that to the song's cheese factor and not his vocals (although in the theater, it sounded like the backup singers were going to take over for a couple seconds - JUST SAY NO). People started standing up even before the song ended, whereas they got up only afterwards when Kris sang it." and "All I wanted to add is that when Adam sings live, you kind of get into this WTF?! mode when you hear the clarity of his voice. Like, is this really happening? And why am I so entranced? Honestly, I remember few details about how the crowd reacted, what the stage looked like...he has this uncanny way of making you think that he's the only other person in the room, and then by the end of the song, you're like THAT'S IT? Why can you not do this forever?" So sounds like people going to the concerts are in for a TREAT. The Unicorn Prince will be an international superstar. The Human Hood ornament will make nice records for middle america. The rest is just window dressing. I won't be doing a recap this week. They both bought what they could to the stage. Let the chips fall where they will. Nuff said! A couple of comments from TWoP people who where there…

The radio heads said “Kris did terrible on this, just an example of his inability to be professional”. *Kris had a large noisy (kiddie) fan base that showed more live than on TV. Some small yellow KRIS signs were everywhere, that were eerily similar to the yellow Idol signs from the auditions. Someone commented as to where they might have come from? *Kris’s first number was very nice, but nowhere near as good as the pandering that that judges gave it. Adam was clearly better.

I followed it for the last couple of rounds of elimination. It showed Danny Gokey as the lowest man on the totem pole on the night he was eliminated - so it was right. Currently dialidol . com shows Adam is still running behind and from the way I interpret their numbers I think it reflects about 1.5 million votes behind - but it definitely shows Adam behind. This does not make me happy. not at all. I just hope it changes and Adam catches up. The information at dialidol . com has been very accurate.
