So, the moment has now arrived; the season finale of Idol is approaching. With one last performance to go, we’ll be seeing a showdown from two different spectrums; the glam-rock prodigy against the acoustic dark horse. The guy-liner against the guy next door. Nobody could have predicted on how this season turned out to be. The contestants, each and every single of them have displayed true vocal quality, showmanship talent and sheer genius in bringing up their A game. But I mean, I’m sure everybody have predicted the final to be a Gokey-Lambert battle, but Kris Allen, truly being a dark horse in this competition, has displayed the very reason why America loves him and find him deserving a spot in the final.
In my opinion, both have been a worthy candidate as the new American Idol. They have their own swagger in what they do best. Adam Lambert is…remarkably Adam Lambert. He brought a truly unique flavour in his singing since the beginning of the season, not to mention his vocal is…wowww. He can scream all he wants and can still talk like nothing has happened. A very consistent contender indeed. He’s got game; with panache, theatrics and mad vocal skills. Kris, on the other hand, is a music genius in my opinion. At first I was like ‘who the heck is Kris?’, and now I was voting for him like crazy (and apparently my sister is rooting for him too!). Did you guys checked out his performance last week? He turned out a Kanye West song (a rap song mind you) into some sick acoustic version, which I thought (and Randy does too) was wayyy better than Kanye’s version! His version of ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ brought him into the realization that he is a dark horse of this competition. He has always remained true to his roots, never pretentious to be something he’s not, and that’s what I like about him.
Now comes the question; who will I root for? Well, Adam is magnificent, but his style is just not my cup of tea. So there you go, I’m rooting for Kris all the way. Kris, I still think you’ve got a shot battling it out with Adam (although I think it’s gonna be a long shot; there I’ve said it, I think Adam will win this battle). Regardless of what’s going to happen, I’ll still be a fan of you, and realize that not winning Idol is not the end for you. Just look at Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson and David Archuletta, they’ve turned out good. I mean real goooood.
I’m heading back home at 5 sharp today to watch it, and so should you. I am expecting a great show, so don’t you ever disappoint me Seacrest!
