Season 8 American Idol: Adam or Kris?

May 20, 2009

Neither BigSis or I are big television watchers, but there are usually a couple of shows each season that we both really enjoy watching. (You know, she likes Lost, right?) I never did get into Lost, but BigSis did right from the beginning.

I also liked DWTS and watched it pretty religiously this season. By now, we all know that Shawn Johnson won the big mirror ball trophy last night. I was actually a little surprised. Even though I liked Melissa and was hoping she would win for coming so far since that embarrassing Bachelor debacle, I actually thought Gilles was going to win. (He's just a teensy bit handsome, huh?)

Last year I got sucked into The Bachelor based on all the hype ABC did leading up to that season!  (I have to admit that I did watch one hour of the Bachelorette premier with Jillian Monday night.) But I'm not doing it again!  Nope! Never! I'm not getting sucked into all that drama again. I've got enough things going on in my life so I really don't need to waste an hour every week watching that nonsense. She's got 30 men to choose from this season, so I'm sure she'll find her Prince Charming! Yeah, right…

So, that leads us to American Idol. I think American Idol is the only show that I can say I've watched every season. Last year, I loved David Cook and am still listening to his music. There were a few seasons when I didn't watch every week, but I think this year has been one of the best seasons and I don't think I've missed a show. It's just nice to watch something that the entire family enjoys watching together. (And those are few and far between.)

Once this season was down to the Final Four, I wasn't sure who would end up in the Top Two, but I wasn't expecting Kris to be one of them.  I really liked Danny and Allison and I think that they'll still both go on to have successful music careers, if that's what they choose to pursue.

After last night's amazing performances from both Adam and Kris, I honestly don't know what to expect tonight. Some people think that Adam is a “shoe-in” but after seeing Kris last night, I'm not so sure. So, who's it going to be?

Or KRIS?

Kris Allen

Even though I watched religiously, I didn't vote once, so I can't say anything about who wins. So, who do you think is going to be the next American Idol?

    Well, I was hoping the final three would have been Danny, Allison and Adam with Adam and Allison as the final two and Adam taking the win. The finale last night was seriously the best AI has ever done but Adam really deserved to win. I mean he is an amazing performer who can’t even compare to the other contestants. As an Adam fan I think we all felt a sense of entitlement and that he was going to win so why vote. While Kris’ fans voted wildly to help the underdog. It is hard for me to get behind Kris who doesn’t feel confident enough in himself to think he was going to win.

    I agree. I think Adam should have won, but I didn’t vote either. I think you’re right about Kris’ fans and I think he may have also gotten alot of Dannys’ fans voting for him. I hope Kris does well, but he sure isn’t confident. I’m sure Adam will either end up on Broadway or as a lead singer for a rock band. He was awesome with KISS!
