American Idol Season 9 Finale: Kris vs Adam

This was the most unexpected finale in the idol history. Most of the judges expected a Danny vs Adam finale since these two guys are the best singers in the season, and the judges have been consistently putting the spotlight on them. I can still remember the first performance night of the 13 finalists and Paula made a prediction that Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey will make it through the finals. Simon Cowell's been praising Adam Lambert everytime and it's very obvious that they're rooting Adam for the title.

It was really a shocker when Kris Allen was the first one to be announced as the contender for the finale, and sending Danny Gokey home. It's a no brainer that Adam Lambert would be in the finals. In my opinion, Kris is more deserving than Danny Gokey for the finals. But we can't take the fact that Danny is a better singer and he's the only finalist who can outsing Adam Lambert. But Kris Allen is the true artist in this season. He sounds good and his songs are great. Look what Kris made to the song Heartless. That was a very good rendition of the song originally done by Kanye West.

Well, so much for the introduction. And I know it's kinda late to post this, but for my blog's sake, I'm still gonna post what happened in the Finale performance night. :D

Round 1 - Personal Pick

Adam Lambert - Mad World
He received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell when he performed this song on one of the idol performance night. Nice pick.

Kris Allen - Ain't No Sunshine
Great song choice. I personally like his rendition of this song. It seems he won Round 1.

Round 2 - Producer's Pick

Adam Lambert - A Change's Gonna Come
There goes the screaming once again. But Adam Lambert is really a good singer.

Kris Allen - What's Going On
Kris with his guitar. Nice song.

Round 3 - Coronation Song

Adam Lambert - No Boundaries
I think this song is not for him. But he was able to sing it properly.

Kris Allen - No Boundaries

This song really fits his timbre but the song is too high for him. The studio recording was very great though. He is indeed a winner!
