Simon Cowell picks Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey for American Idol Finale

Oh what an interesting angle: the Christians vs. the Gays on American Idol! Or less scandalous: Gospel vs. Broadway.

Danny Gokey vs. Adam Lambert in the finale is a little bit boring in my opinion, but I understand why Simon would want this kind of match-up: Adam and Danny are the only two left who a casual Idol viewer (not super fans like those who read Rickey.org) perceive could win it all. You don’t want to go into the finale with too much lopsidedness.

I think that Danny Gokey already made his point appealing to the Christian vote — so I think he should go back and make himself more appealing to a general audience. Just a few weeks ago, everyone loved him, but he’s lost a bit of that to Adam and Kris Allen. Not everyone will remember “Hero” which seems so long ago now.

Danny Gokey will win American Idol!

“I’d like to see Adam (Lambert) and Danny (Gokey) in the final because they are the best two singers,” Cowell told reporters at a TV industry event in Los Angeles on Friday.
