It's Raining Men

Tonight we watched the Season 8 finale of American Idol. It came down to the most versatile performer in AI history and the hottest guy ever on AI. Whatever happens, there will be no loosers. We all won by having these two guys as the finalists.

Each boy sang 3 songs:
Round 1 - Performer's Choice - they sang a song that they had previously performed.
Adam - recreated the haunting and magical "Mad World".
Kris - re-wowed us with "Ain't No Sunshine".
Both were smart and chose their best songs of the year. I thought Round 1 was a tie.

Round 2 - Producer Simon Fuller's Choice.
First Simon Fuller is not the same Simon as the judge Simon Cowell. They are both from England, however. Remember all males in Britain are either named Nigel or Simon.
"Change is Gonna Come" was selected for Adam. He showed that he can also do R & B. Great performance and a good song selection.
"What's Goin On?" was the song chosen for Kris. Unfortunately that was my question after he was done. It was not enough for a special night.
Round 2 definitely went to Adam.

Round 3 - New Judge Kara DiGuardi's song written just for tonight.
The song "No Boundaries" was simply weird. An embarrassment to Kara and to both Adam and Kris. I will not even judge this round.

This finale reminds me of Season 2, where it came down to Reuben and Clay Aiken. It was extremely close. Will the 8th American Idol be the first gay to win the title? or will we have the first Idol ever shorter than me? My choice to win is Adam. But remember in Season 2 I chose Clay. As a warning, FOX is going to milk the Results show for all it's worth. The show will last over 2 hours. So adjust your DVR or your sleeping schedule, if you plan on watching. I never watch the Results show. Instead I have a good friend in California that simply texts me the results.

Until Next Year - Wise OUT
