DISQUS

I completely agree that I think Kwak will win. Honestly, I hope he does. I prefer Adam over him any day of the week, but Adam needs to be able to record whatever he wants and not be tied down to what American Idol wants. What AI wants though will fit Kwak perfectly.

how Kwak must be the winner if he can´t sing the horrible Kara´s single? i know the song favored Adam´s voice, but if Conway boy were more diverse he´d be as competitive as the LA one and we know that when Kwak have to rock out he is totally swallowed up by the guitar. remember "come together"?

Couple questions:
Why cant the Idol anthem ever be half decent? I mean Kara has written or co-written some HUGE songs, and this is what she helps create?? No matter who wins that song just needs to be put to rest - quickly!
Why must Adam have that tongue hanging out?? For weeks it kills me, I can't watch him when he screams.
I really think Adam will be hurt if he wins. Kris is a better suit to 19's dictatorship. Not that Adam won't win. I tried to vote and all the lines were busy, so I think it will be close. Gokey's fans probably did drift to Kris, and he is where my vote lies. I just couldn't get on the Adam boat even though I tried. When he just sang...no screaching, screaming, straining, just singing...I really like him, but as soon as he takes it up a notch and that tongue comes out, it's over for me.
Either way they'll both have album deals and Adam will take glam rock to a whole new audience.

You know that Kara wrote that song specifically for Adam. Besides the unfairness of K having to sing Adam's song, the song was awful. Any song that I can easily imagine being written by Diane Warren & sung by Celine Dion deserves our derision. I hate garbage music like that (and I do like some Hannah Montana songs - no Jonas though). Kara was moved to tears by the thought of the dump truck of money being backed up to her house when this songs is released on Itunes, not the performance. I thought Adam sang fantastically (as always), but should never be allowed to sing any song that has a hint of funk or soul again. Ever. It'll be the closest Idol ever, but Adam pulls it off...

Great season - in fact my favorite season to date. It's amazing that they can keep finding talent (and so much of it this year).

Now to get ready to watch So You Think You Can Dance with the sound muted (it's the wife's favorite show - dancers are like that).

I for one don't think that Adam has a better voice than KWAK...I just think he has a different voice. Better is subjective. What determines it? I of course hope Kris with a K wins because I've been a huge fan since day one, but even more than that I hope he wins just to spite the judges and Katie Perry. I HATE Katie Perry and I hate that AI has been pubbing Adam the entire season. It makes it feel rigged and unfair. Also, I want to see the look on Paula's face if KWAK wins. She's been practically orgasming over Adam since day one and it's gross. Please bless KWAK wins!

PS I may or may not have voted for Kris with a K 100 times.

Did anyone else notice Adam say "Thanks for writing that song for me Kara" when she thanked him for singing it?! It irritates me that the competition is so obviously slanted towards him, however, I think he has a better voice and deserves to win. I like Kwak, and I will be almost as happy if he wins, but Adam deserves it more I think.

I for one hope Adam wins. He is more talented and more interesting and more entertaining to watch. Though the media doesn't seem to think he has a chance: http://www.newsy.com/videos/idol_finale_full_of... I don't know if the vote will be hijacked by Christians or if people will vote for the person who was actually better.

So I am obviously on my own with this, but I didn't think that final song suited Adam at all. #1, I felt his voice was too big for it and #2, it was a pop song NOT a glam rock song and I just didn't buy it from him. I think it is a crappy song for sure, but I could see Kris having more success with it (sort of) than Adam. (I'd rather never hear it again, but that's wishful thinking.) I personally thought it was a train-wreck for both of them, which is why not one of the judges actually commented on it for Adam (except of course Randy who had the guts to say something negative. Hope he doesn't get fired for that, lol.)

I hope Kris wins it. It doesn't matter, though, because both of them will be successful recording artists in their own right.

As far as 'better singer' goes, I think Adam has a BIGGER voice. His range is ridiculous (in a good way). But it's not my kind of music and I don't know that his voice in his style would ever reach me emotionally. And if we're talking better, let's give Kris the edge for his musicality with guitar and piano playing (ok, ok it's a SINGING competition, thank you Randy). He is certainly a musician. I find it amusing to hear them compared with Adam always taking the 'most talented' award. Bottom line, they are both extremely talented and very different, so depending what your personal tastes are, you're gonna like one more than the other. And whoever threw in that Christian comment--maybe you should clarify. That was just weird and perhaps a bit prejudicial? We're not voting on policy-making. Religion shouldn't have much to do with it.

@Emilyl - I'm with you, that song sucked either way. Inspirational "you can do anything you set your mind to" BullShit is SO 2000-and-late. And Adam didn't sound too good on it, neither did Kwak, it's unfortunate that it has to be EITHER of their first singles.

@Ming - I'm sure Katie Perry's not too fond of YOU either.

@Kristin - I think you are really overanalyzing the quote. Adam has shown all season to be very well-spoken and polite - he thanks the band and musical director after almost every performance. I'm sure by saying "for me" he was just making it personal for Kara, rather than embodying this phantom slant you seem to be so sure exists.

@Rosa - yes, I agree with Kristin, your "christian" comment is a bit blankety, and should be tweaked to say "conservatives who are afraid of boys in eyeliner" or "evangelicals who think that the sexual ambiguity of a tv show winner means all their children, and their children's children, and their children's children, will grow up to be a bunch of Streisand-loving-Marys!"
And I'm Jewish.

thanks.

Hmph. So the lowest common denominator won. How boring. But typical. That's why people listen to Nickelback.

V- hahahahahaha (to the Nickelback comment)
