lazypadawanWithout giving away any spoilers for those of you who haven't watched "Lost" yet, let me just say this:
I hate you, show! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!!!!!!1!!!!!
There, that's better.
I haven't posted much on AI this season but while I figured Adam was a shoo-in for the finals a long time back, I have mixed feelings about Kris being the other final-ee because I really liked Danny. But Kris brought out the big guns the second half of the show on Tuesday and having gone after Danny, it paid off. Plus the girlies think he's cute. It's ironic given that Simon teased Kris early on in the competition for being a young married guy.
Most of the oddsmakers will probably favor Adam to win. He is a well-trained singer and the judges have slobbered over him almost the entire competition. But Kris has been an unexpected dark horse the entire time, defying predictions. He's much more low-key than Adam, but Adam is the sort of guy who inspires a strong opinion one way or another. You either really like him or he annoys you. The annoyed will likely favor Kris. If Kris pulls a performance like his cover of "Heartless" and Adam goes all artsy-schmartsy (or as Simon would say, "indulgent"), that could be an in for Kris to pull the biggest upset in the show's history.

Date: 2009-05-14 07:51 pm (UTC)As for Adam, I have a hard time envisioning him selling very much in the U.S. His sound is not commercial at all. I can see him being more popular in Europe and Asia, and I don't think it would be unwise for him to go in a more electronic/dance direction, either. All this "YOU ARE A ROCK GOD!!" slobbering to me is nonsense.

Date: 2009-05-15 02:27 am (UTC)Adam is stylistically a hard guy to figure out. Despite how he looks, he sounds every bit a theatrically-trained singer. Let's put it this way...if this was 1974 at the height of the glam era, Adam would have a great career--in the U.K.. Solo singers don't do well in the alternative market; everybody is either in a band, was in a band, or a singer-songwriter. Rock fans aren't going to go for an American Idol winner who sounds like a Broadway singer. So he may very well cruise to victory but what then?
