American Idol - And then there were two

It's that horrible time of year when American Idol comes to a close. I never like the last performance show because of the usually lame and boring song that is made for the winner so it is with a heavy heart that we tune in to watch King Adam do battle with Prince Kris for the last time.

Kris wins the coveted spot of going second. I never really understand how this affects the show but whatever. Let's get down to business. Both start with their favorite previously performed songs. Adam opts for Mad World which was a total show stopper the first time and seems to be the same this time. The boy just goes on stage and works it and what shows why he is the true professional is because he always thanks to the band. Does he do anything wrong??? Kris comes out and does Ain't No Sunshine and it's just as unremarkable for me as it was the first time. As my partner in crime described Kris, he's like the amazing buskers you see down in the Underground in London who are fantastic performers looking for a chance but just don't have that it factor.

Simon Fuller makes the second song choice selection. Adam gets Change is Gonna Come and with an entirely new look hits the stage and shows his diversity. Kris was selected What's Going On and once again it was safe and nice but not wow.

The third and final song of the evening is the American Idol inspirational song of the year, No Boundaries, which was co-written by Kara. I hate this part of the whole competition and even Adam seems to be struggling with this tripe but once again makes it his own. Let's face it there's not much anyone can do with these songs of hope, dreams and contrived feel good lyrics. Kris' turn and it starts off a little rough and continues its bumpy road and much like his other songs tonight, it's just meh.

Who do I think should win? Well, duh, Adam, of course, but I have a horrible feeling that the media has politicized the whole finale and made this more of the straight all American boy versus the gay individualist. According to Dial Idol, it's a close call with Kris being proclaimed the winner by an ant's fart but like I have said before it doesn't matter if Adam wins or loses, he's set for life.

So who do you think will be crowned winner at the Nokia tonight???
