American Idol The Finale

TALE OF THE TAPE
Well I am surprised but I know many are not. I have to say the voting is indicative of the extra votes and where they shifted. I looks like Allison’s fans did not vote for Danny. I know this is a singing competition and all three are very different singers but all three are very talented. So what was the determining factor? There were definitely not more viewers. The rating show AI lost much to “LOST” no pun intended. So how did the number of votes double? You be the judge. Are people really voting that much more? Are you?
So what made Kris and Adam more of a favorite than Danny. There was a noticeable decline in his favorability over the last three weeks by the judges. They had Adam and Kris picked as the final two for some time. My guess is Adam Lambert and Kris Allen as different as they are in style they are linked in strategy. Their musical styles and strengths don’t mix that is why they were not paired in the duet, and their personalities could not be more opposite. What they do share is a common strategy to give the teacher what he wants.
The judges made it clear what they were looking for in season eight; performers who could take a song and make it their own. A lot of the singers took that advice from time to time, but no singers took the message more serious than Kris and Adam.
So what’s in the future for Danny. I see Danny making albums and maybe a few number one albums. He is a real talented singer and has the will to make it. So it is just a matter of him getting a good manager that will point him in the right direction. New clothes and Dance lessons would be a good start. But seriously he just needs to lighten up be a risk taker and he will do great things.
As for Adam I think he is going to win it. I also think he is going to be very successful. I really do not like his theatrical slant but he has taken what could be a weakness and really turned it into a strength. Adam is unique and talented and really that is what makes a star. I am sure people will be talking about some of his performances for years to come
Kris, I really like him but the rality of it is I do not think he has what it takes to make it in the long run. It is just my opinion for now but I see him having some songs in the top 20 for about the first year and then he is going to fizzle. Not as fast as Hicks but it will happen.
