I didn't get to watch much of the show tonight--just saw Kris and Adam's second songs and the playback of their "vote for me" clips... but I feel confident about making my picks just the same. I am of the opinion that Adam and Danny are most deserving of the finals and that based on fan support Danny is a lock. The competition for the final spot is between Kris and Adam--though I would like to see Adam win this thing.
Prediction: Kris goes home, Adam in bottom two according to voting.
A final note--Simon Cowell makes this show much more than a singing show... his analysis is generally spot on, but I'm tired of everyone (including the other judges) talking on top of him. It's rumored again (like every year) that he's not coming back, and the way he's shouted at and interrupted I could see why he'd leave... I'm not worried about his feelings--it's just not the greatest television when you don't let your top draw string more than four words together.
----------------------------
1. Adam Lambert ("One" was great. "Cryin" had me doing just that. The screech owl routine is getting old for me.)
2. Kris Allen (Has quietly brought himself to the verge of the finals. His interpretation of Kanye West's "Heartless" was brilliant.)
3. Danny Gokey (The pride of Milwaukee was just ok last night. For me, he didn't bring anything special to the stage.)
Should Go Home: Danny Gokey
Will Go Home: Kris Allen
Well, Vano, I must admit that a better finale will have Adam in it.
