After 38 episodes of American Idol and lots of predictions by me (some right some wrong), we are left with the 2 most popular contestants. In the words of Ryan Seacrest, we have the acoustic rocker versus the glam rocker, Conway versus California, the guy next door versus the guy liner (lol). It now comes down to Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. 2 opposites with their own unique appeal. Who will win this season’s American Idol? This is …. My final prediction of the season.Adam and Kris each sang 3 songs, one favorite of the season, one chosen by Simon Fuller and one new song co-written by Kara DioGuardi. I felt that both contestants did very well in their first 2 songs but struggled with “No Boundaries” the song Kara co-written. So performance wise I feel that it is a draw. I’m surprised how Kris upped his game and gave his best performances of the season. This season is definitely a close one. Who do I think will win?
As usual let us see the iTunes Review Rankings (which is sometimes accurate heh)
1) Kris Allen – Apologize (1347 ratings) Heartless (3286 ratings) Total: 4633
2) Adam Lambert – Crying (1319 ratings) One (1497 ratings) Total: 2816
Oh my god! For the first time ever, Adam Lambert does not have the highest number of ratings. Kris Allen has so much more ratings this time round. Maybe fans of the ousted idols have all decided to support Kris Allen. Adam Lambert now has only his own fans to count on. Will this reflect the number of supporters Adam and Kris have? If it does, Adam is in deep trouble. I’m not sure if its real, but last week, only 1 million votes separated these 2 guys. Kris Allen has turned from a dark horse to a legitimate contender for the top prize. I have predicted against Kris Allen for the past 2 weeks and have been proven wrong. What should I do now?
I know! I should predict that Kris Allen will win and my unlucky streak in predictions will make Adam the winner he he. If Kris Allen wins my prediction is correct, if Adam Lambert wins I will be happy cause I like him better lol. Both ways I win! Woo hooo.Okay, final prediction: Kris Allen to win American Idol!
After tomorrow's results, I will be eagerly waiting for the start of the third season of our very own Singapore Idol!! This time, I can actually vote for my favorites!
P.S: What a stupid final prediction by me. I should be ashamed of myself. Go Adam Lambert!
