That’s amazing. Nobody predicted Adam Lambert to go. I should take that as a good sign.

I hope Kris isn’t going home. -crosses fingers-

Rickey, thanks for keeping with the MOJO and picking Kris! I was worried you were gonna go against it. GO KRIS!!!!!!!!!

hahaha Rickey … love your prediction for bottom 3! Just for you, I hope Kris gets through. I mean eliminated! Gaaaah! Didn’t mean to upset the hex

Rickey why do you always pick Kris? I thought you were his biggest fan! I hope your jinx works one last time.

K Sizzle FTW!

Wow, Kris’ “Heartless” really worked its magic. So many people expect Gokey to go home for the first time ever…

But, I don’t think it’s so clear-cut… I’m nervous.

Kradam FTW! Fingers crossed.

Lemon_c on May 13, 2009 at 8:26 pm

LOL @ bottom 3!

I just hope Adam made it through. Good luck to them all.

sweetangel1051 on May 13, 2009 at 8:27 pm

Danny Gokey should go home if there is any justice in this woirld.

ANYBODY BUT KRIS!

danny gokey will go home tonight..

NO NO NO… injustice if KRIS WOULD GO!… that heartless performance was superbly awesome…
GO HOME GOKES

KRISADAM FINALE GO!

john_roger on May 13, 2009 at 8:32 pm
17

LOL at the bottom 3 haha. If Kris goes home, IDOL IS SO RIGGED AND THEY WILL GET A TAYLOR HICKS-RUNNER UP (If there’s such a thing ) I agree, if there is any justice in this world, DANNNY GO HOME, your time is already expired a long, long, long time ago !

brookeflower19 on May 13, 2009 at 8:33 pm
18

I really wish it was Kris staying but it seems like from the beginning the producers wanted an Adam and Danny finale. Adam better have made it through.

Donna on May 13, 2009 at 8:34 pm
19

If Adam Lambert is sent home tonight, the finale’s TV ratings will go way down, American Idol would no longer be even within the range of a singing competition, and I’ll even go as far as saying that if Adam Lambert is not THE American Idol, then the show itself is in jeopardy because it will have once again failed to crown the best singer as champion.

Mike N on May 13, 2009 at 8:44 pm

K-Sizzle sizzled last night. Best performance of the evening. Now people can’t complain about Kris being in the finales. He solidified his RIGHT to be there.

Selena on May 13, 2009 at 8:45 pm
21

This show is taking forever. The pressure is killing me! GO KRIS!<3

KatLOVESKris on May 13, 2009 at 8:49 pm
22

Kris has to go through! I think Idol is scared to have Kris go through because he could actually beat Adam!
GO KRIS ALLEN!!

JennyC. on May 13, 2009 at 8:50 pm
23

Rickey, I love your jinxing power!

Hope Go Gokey goes home!

AI8 Fan on May 13, 2009 at 8:50 pm
24

yeah, if adam is the one being sent today, the finale will be no good at all

Phurple on May 13, 2009 at 8:53 pm
25

GOOD LUCK TO THEM ALL but I hope HOPE HOPE Kris and Adam are safe. My stomach is turning!

sacha on May 13, 2009 at 8:55 pm
26

Make it a real finale, bring back Allison!

LRdawg on May 13, 2009 at 8:56 pm
27

Lol at the bottom 3 prediction. I really hope everyone is right about Adam’s fate tonight. I like Kris and he’s more deserving than Danny but it wouldn’t be that bad if he left now. But I wish him well anyways

Ursula on May 13, 2009 at 8:58 pm
28

If Kris goes its because his vocals are not strong as Danny’s however………….I think Danny should go for being less original and creative then Kris. Kris could actually contribute to the music industry where as Danny would be just another ungrateful average christian singer mass marketed to the christian groupies. He’s not even a good copycat.

The one time Danny took a risk..Dream On….he failed big time and will be remembered for it.

Kris either made a mistake or benefited from a statement he made during the hometown promotion.
He said he wasn’t interested in making a Christian Album and doesn’t plan on it.

He earned some of my respect with that.

Times may have changed but look back at the musician Amy Grant….as soon as she did the crossover from christian music to mainstream she lost that fan base which was pretty much all she had.

HelloKitty on May 13, 2009 at 8:58 pm

Kris & Adam FTW!!!

archieangel on May 13, 2009 at 8:59 pm

adam – gokey for the finale!!!!

i dont want another jordin – blake finale!!!!

fluffysasha on May 13, 2009 at 9:04 pm
31

don’t be surprised if Adam goes home. It happens when the right ingredients are in place. 1. A three-way elimination. 2. One of the three contestants, even if clearly the superior talent, is substantially outside the mainstream in ways that effect the core of voters. (Adam’s life style and theactrical flair.) 3. The other two contestants are worthy of being the AI.

ace on May 13, 2009 at 9:05 pm
32

time for adam to go, he’s shot his tube of mustard already…crying was weak overall…kris gokey in the finale.

gokey on May 13, 2009 at 9:10 pm
33

GO HOME DANNY-POO!

Addy on May 13, 2009 at 9:11 pm
34

Ace: interesting observation, and I think you might be on to something (thinking of Melinda Doolittle). But for Adam’s sake, since he wants this win, I hope you’re wrong.

Either way tho, Adam will be just fine.

hesterprune on May 13, 2009 at 9:12 pm
35

Oh gosh, i’m sooo scared right now.
I think Adam will go home.
But you never know.
I DONT WANT ADAM TO LEAVE!!!!!!
Danny neeeds to go : )

Olivia : ) on May 13, 2009 at 9:13 pm
36

DAAAMN. I hope the majority is right and Gokey goes!

Frank on May 13, 2009 at 9:16 pm
37

Based on last week’s performances during Rock Week, I can not believe that Adam, who was absolutely unable to be comprehended, did not go home last week. I couldn’t understand a single word he sang… umm, I mean yelled. Isn’t this a singing competition, not a yelling competition? Shouldn’t we be able to understand the words, at least? I could understand the others and they were so much better. How can anyone say Adam is the best singer in the competition?

Oh well, if he wins, at least we might see some real music coming out of him because of the contract he has to do!

Nick on May 13, 2009 at 9:16 pm
38

Sooooo nervous for Kris right now! Not for Adam, I’m sure he’ll make it (at least I hope!)

archieangel on May 13, 2009 at 9:18 pm
39

No I don’t want Danny go

Gia Bao... on May 13, 2009 at 9:18 pm
40

wtf? danny shud stay duh.
danny and adam for the finale!

Anna on May 13, 2009 at 9:19 pm
41

If Adam goes home tonight then the finale is just another normal AI performance night. But I still think that Adam would make it big on the industry than Kris and Danny… Adam has the spirit, talents and guts.

Danny should’ve been sent home weeks ago…tsk!

jaykee on May 13, 2009 at 9:21 pm
42

PLEASE I HOPE THAT ADAM STAYS! GOOO ADAAAM!!! KEEP ROCKING LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO! HE IS UNBELIVABLE! SO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

Marooborloz on May 13, 2009 at 9:29 pm
43

I want to see Danny’s face – up close – sweaty – smug expression no longer visible – humble – IF/WHEN eliminated – TONIGHT!!! >D

Yeahhhhh!

ADAM FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:31 pm
44

Adam will go smoothly through the finale. It’ll be Kris and Danny in the bottom two and the later will go home. Let’s face it, we can see a lot of Danny alike in the industry already but seldom will we can with Adam’s voice range and the skill and talent of Kris.

HOME GO-KEY…..

edgar on May 13, 2009 at 9:32 pm
45

GO HOME GUUKI!

KRADAM FINALE FTW!

john_roger on May 13, 2009 at 9:33 pm

Jordin’s performance is a little off.

Pete on May 13, 2009 at 9:33 pm

If Kris will stay…. the finale will be a easy for Adam… haha…..

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 9:33 pm

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 9:34 pm

Jordin knocked that song out the park!!! GO JORDIN!!!!

But I think Danny will go home…Poor him

Gia Bao... on May 13, 2009 at 9:35 pm
51

I hope that Adam and Kris are in the finale, but i have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that Danny might be in the finale. Hopefully KRADAM Finale!!!!!!

fire87 on May 13, 2009 at 9:38 pm
52

my name rhymes with Danny. lol

but I hope an Adam-Kris for the finale… woohooo…. waahh… Danny pls go home!

Marty on May 13, 2009 at 9:40 pm
53

I agree with you Edgar.

jaykee on May 13, 2009 at 9:40 pm
54

Kris… go home….

Matt and Allison, I think, is more deserving in your current place….

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 9:41 pm
55

I luuuv Adam’s laugh. It’s so natural. Shows genuineness.

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:43 pm
56

OMG! Joyce, we’re on the same zip code I totally agree with you… You’re Filipina too, I am

jaykee on May 13, 2009 at 9:44 pm

Adam your the best!

im sooooo freakin’ nervous right now!!!!

giulianna on May 13, 2009 at 9:45 pm
59

so much venom for a guy who’s wife has died…i think people hate him more because he’s lost his wife…makes no sense…and people love Adam more because he’s openly gay..what a screwed up country

gokey on May 13, 2009 at 9:46 pm
60

Buhbye Kris!!

carlituuus on May 13, 2009 at 9:47 pm
61

any one noticed no one helped scott get up to cheer , either that he doesn’t like adam? haha he was just sitting there next to jasimine maybe he was just upset he was stuck with her.

abercrombieco2 on May 13, 2009 at 9:48 pm
62

Katy perry’s an Adam Lambert supporter! Whuutt?!!

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:49 pm
63

Oh god, she’s AWFUL!!!

Jodi on May 13, 2009 at 9:51 pm
64

I agree with u carlituuus…. bye bye Kris…..

If you will be in the finale…. Adam will SURELY win…. no doubt….

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 9:51 pm
65

You KNOW you suck if Paula’s not up and “dancing”.

Jodi on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 pm

Let’s get to the results! Now! lol

Marty on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 pm

Ha,ha @ Jodi!

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:53 pm
68

i really don’t care is adam wins, i just want him and Kris in the finale.

fire87 on May 13, 2009 at 9:53 pm
69

Ummmmmmmmmm, Did I miss something? Was Adam already crowned champion? Not surprising that Katy Perry’s awful performance had pimpage of Lambert. They look and sound lot alike. This show is so staged.

Julia on May 13, 2009 at 9:53 pm
70

… guess it’s kinda hard to f/u after “I Kissed A Girl”… lol

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:54 pm
71

Wow… who would have thought that Katy Perry was an Adam supporter. lol

Nicole on May 13, 2009 at 9:54 pm
72

EXACTLY. He’s only there because his wife died, the pity vote and do you think he should receive special treatment because his wife died? Don’t get me wrong, I cried during his audition and my condolences go to him and his family but this is a singing competition not “the best sob-story” competition. People don’t like him because he just isn’t a good enough singer to be in the finale or hell even the top 3. I just don’t see anything special in him. I haven’t seen originality in him since the competition started. All he does is just show off his vocals and copy the original singer, as earlier posted, he’s not even a good copy cat ! People don’t love Adam because he is openly gay, people love Adam because he’s a fantastic singer and performer, don’t forget that he’s a great guy and not SMUG.

brookeflower19 on May 13, 2009 at 9:54 pm
73

So, there is only 1 million votes separating the top 2 … Isn’t that what seacrest said last year in the top 3?

laff on May 13, 2009 at 9:55 pm
74

Danny go home already!

Addy on May 13, 2009 at 9:55 pm
75

umm to:GOKEY… people do not like danny (maybe) not because his wife died but because sometimes he comes across like a douche, and he hasn’t really given a strong solid performance

AND… people like ADAM not just because he is openly gay but because he actually has talent

ADAM = IDOL

John on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 pm
76

jaykee, i’m puzzled with you. You agree with me but you also agree with joyce. Could you be specific who you really want to be in the finale?

ADAM & KRIS
or
ADAM & DANNY

edgar on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 pm
77

Katy Perry WISHES she could sound like Adam Lambert.

Hmmmph!

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 pm
78

What really makes me laugh is that everyone thinks that Gokey would be the one who could beat adam. I don’t think Gokey has any better chance of beating adam than kris does. I almost feel that kris has a better chance.

fire87 on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 pm

Adam Rocks!

kuma111 on May 13, 2009 at 9:57 pm

kuma111 on May 13, 2009 at 9:59 pm
84

It has happened.

Danny’s. face. up. close.

Well, at least the back of it initially, ha,ha,ha

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 9:59 pm
85

Adam is the male version of Katy Perry!

They look alike, and they are so over the top with the dnacers and the customes.

Jalisa on May 13, 2009 at 9:59 pm
86

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lemon_c on May 13, 2009 at 9:59 pm
87

lol my heart skipped a couple beats when he said Kris Allen. Now it’s pretty clear Adam will win, but at least the judges will be the only douches next week.

Matt on May 13, 2009 at 10:00 pm
88

well now! Every once in a while AI doesn’t completely suck. I might even watch this finale. I’m happy for Kris and Adam, and all their fans!

hesterprune on May 13, 2009 at 10:00 pm
89

@Edgar, I agree with you on Danny being sent home. I also agree with Joyce for mentioning Matt G and Allison being on the bottom 3 than Kris

I only want Adam and not Adam-Danny or Adam-Kris

jaykee on May 13, 2009 at 10:00 pm
90

my goodness.. I can’t stand it… Kris vs. Adam….

OMG!!!…. But don’t worry…

KRIS WILL NOT BE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!!!!….

It will be a boring finals…..

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 10:00 pm
91

omg I can breathe again! GO ADAM! Thanks Rickey!!!
Congrats to Adam and Kris!!!

ean on May 13, 2009 at 10:00 pm
92

This idolatry with Adam Lambert is really annoying. He did not sing his two performances, most of the time he shouted, screamed them instead of singing them!!

If you do not know what singing is, remember Kris Allen’s Heartless and you will understand what I mean by singing as opposed to screaming!!

Adam is apparently gay so I suppose he ought to have an affirmative action vote for him in this screwed country?!!!
Adam’s two songs were, most of time, screamed and that is the very reason why he will go home tonight.

Tom on May 13, 2009 at 10:00 pm
93

Danny may never have been ‘bottom’ before now – but this is the ONLY elimination that TRULY matters.

Obviously.;D

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 10:01 pm

YEAAHHHHHHH!!! GOKEY OUTTTT!

should have been adam vs. danny….

Phurple on May 13, 2009 at 10:02 pm

my head said adam vs kris, my heart said adam vs danny. in the end my head prevailed.

I’m actually disappointed. why?

yingzhi on May 13, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Wow. The finalle should be interesting.

Yay! Go kris!

Bring back Allison!!

bwatt27 on May 13, 2009 at 10:02 pm

just as i have thought adam ang kris in the finale!!!! great great

ramir on May 13, 2009 at 10:03 pm
99

The voters will not be nervous anymore next week….

It’s a complete sweep for Adam….

And if Ryan will announce that Kris is the next A.I next week…. IT’S ONE OF THE UPSETS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN IDOL….

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 10:03 pm
100

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asswipe Simon certainly didn’t try to hide his shock at Kris getting in, did he?????
SUCK IT SIMON

BigFanLittleDavid on May 13, 2009 at 10:03 pm

YESSSSSSSS!! GO KRIS!!

We did it, Rickey!!

Best Final Ever. I really don’t care who wins, but i don’t think that it will a blow out like everyone is predicting.

I love this season!!!
woohooo…

buh bye Danny!!!!!

Adam for the win!!!

Adam S. on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm
107

It will be much closer than anyone expects. Don’t crown Adam just yet.

BigFanLittleDavid on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm

thank you America .. you have made a very wise choice ..

Neeza on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm

So u guys know for sure gokey is leaving?

kuma111 on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm
110

“It’s a complete sweep for Adam….”

Hey, I wouldn’t count Kris out just yet. He’s the little engine that could. Btw, Ryan DID say that less than 1 million votes separated the top 2.

dreamr on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm
111

Well now the winner is obvious. I mean Kris going against Adam??? Adam will ride right through this.Yes!! :]

Sarah K on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm
112

I don’t know if you noticed, Tom… But America hates gays; so something else must be at work here…

And also, Joyce… Shut up

Matt on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm
113

Yes! Danny is going home! Poor Paula, your douche bag didn’t make the finals. Go pop a few pills, it’ll make you feel better.

LRdawg on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm

GO KRIS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Addy on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm

Oh, stop it, Jalisa! LOL

Katy Perry can’t ‘hold a candle’ to Adam’s talent.

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm
116

Yay Kris!!!

But, I have to say, Danny’s sing-out was pretty great.

kmra on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm

Justice has been served!

NriQ on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm
118

The two least talented singers I’ve ever heard. I wish I could say I’m shocked.. this is the same country that “elected” the wrong guy for President twice. I’ve watched every show for seven years, gone to concerts in each of the seven years. Never again. Glad to be done with this show, not just for this year, for good. And people on this site, with all due respect, have been really disappointing with the personal attacks on certain contestants this year. Disgusting.

Julia on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm

dreamr- you heard wrong, he said 1 million votes separated the BOTTOM 2

Sarah K on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm

DANNY’S OUT! KRADAM FOR THE WIN! YEAH!

Kris for American Idol!

@Matt #115 – I agree with you on Joyce. LOL.

Addy on May 13, 2009 at 10:07 pm
123

danny sung very well for his final song , can’t wait to see what he does post idol , and see him again on the results live show. im pretty sure when they said kris your in the finale it looked like danny leaned over to adam and said its going to be you. i’ve never seen a top 3 this great, all 3 are great. the real shame is the ignorance and immaturity that now infects this blog, by all the new comers that have come here. if adam and kris saw what there fans say on here about danny , they would say thanks for the support but we don’t need patheic losers like that for fans. you can have the eye sight of scott and still see that all 3 guys where close and were cheering for each other.

abercrombieco2 on May 13, 2009 at 10:07 pm

KRIS IS SAFE!! yeaaaahhhh!! I’ve never been more happy in my life.

alyssa on May 13, 2009 at 10:07 pm

KRIS!!!!! YES!!!!

S on May 13, 2009 at 10:08 pm
126

No, Sarah, he definitely said the TOP TWO. i taped it. just over one million separating the top two.

BigFanLittleDavid on May 13, 2009 at 10:08 pm
127

oh my gosh..
well, this will be an easy one for Adam to win now.. am i the only one that still wanted Adam vs. Allison.. They were the best singers yet

i guess adam is the next american idol now .. suck it haters (all haters of adam are fugly sluts) Peace** ADAM FTMFW

Jenna on May 13, 2009 at 10:08 pm

Kris need three terrific performances like heartless and he very well could be crowned American Idol. Mark my words people, it will not be a blowout. You can keep thinking that though and not vote next week.

Paula and Kara invested so much in pimping Danny, I laughed when they had sad looks on their faces. You guys threw Allison under the bus all season. I’m so happy that their boy Danny did not make the finals.

LRdawg on May 13, 2009 at 10:09 pm

Adam will win…..

I will be crazy if Kris will win…. THE BIGGEST UPSET IN THE HISTORY OF A.I… IF KRIS WILL WIN…. =)

OMG!!!!! my 200+ votes for adam last night were not a complete waste of my time!!!

ADAM WILL BE THE FIRST GAY AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!

I’M IN HEAVEN!!!

Dreamr is indeed right. I just replayed the clip. just over one million separating the TOP two.

A complete underdog is now in the finale! Almost zero screen time during auditions and hollywood week. When he got in the Top 13, a lot predicted him to be the among the first to go. But now he is in the finale. You have proven your worth, Kris! Kris for the win!

lordmyx on May 13, 2009 at 10:11 pm

I wanted an Allison/Adam finale but I love Kris so I’m so freaking happy! YOU ROCK AMERICA FOR THIS AWESOME F2!!!!

JOY TO THE WORLD on May 13, 2009 at 10:11 pm

all god fearing americans should now cast their vote for Kris, Adam is not worthy.

Adam deserves to win .. but we’ll never know for sure .. hmm i wonder what will Danny supporters (voters) do now?? go to Kris or to Adam??

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG…..RIIIccckkkkkeeyyyyyyyy!!!!!….Kris “smexy face” Allen is through to the final……..wee reaallyy did it, we did it…he’s through….i can’t believe this…yayy go Kris…..

DO keep thinking Adam will win it in a walk. Overconfidence by Adam and his fans is great for Kris.

BigFanLittleDavid on May 13, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Ok, I stand corrected. Either way, I’m more confident now that Adam will win against Kris. Vocally the two can’t compare…..:)

Sarah K on May 13, 2009 at 10:12 pm

Joyce, crazier things have happened. The way adam sings could backfire if he screams through the entire three songs.

If Kris doesn’t win Idol this season, this is going to be the first time that I guessed wrong. @_@

I’m no Danny fan, but that final performance made me cry.

Meanwhile, I AM SO FRICKING HAPPY, if we couldn’t have Adam/Allison, then Adam/Kris was the next best thing. YAYYYY!!! GO ADAM!!!! GO KRIS!!!! I can’t wait!!!

Fe on May 13, 2009 at 10:12 pm
148

u guys are ridiculous. kris just made the top 2 and he is STILL not getting any credit. he seriously is the dark horse. and dont effing count him out bitches because there was ONE MILLION votes that seperated adam and kris AND GUESS FUCKING WHAT?!?! WHO DO YOU THINK DANNY’S VOTES ARE GOING TO NOW BE GOING TO?!?! muahahaha this is awesome. if kris upsets glamberts claim to the crown, this will be the greatest final EVER!!! (i mean there is a huge part of me that know the likelihood of that happening is not good but still i have a little hope).

Kat on May 13, 2009 at 10:12 pm

YES Danny is finally out. He shouldn’t have been in the top 3.

LRdawg on May 13, 2009 at 10:12 pm
150

AWESOOOOMEEEE KRIS IS IN THE FINAL!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Kris fans, cause you put the GO in the GOKEY!! I called for Adam for 1 1/2hr and then the last 1/2 hr (as soon as Adam has advantage) I voted for Kris. He is cool, but Adam is ARTISTRY!!!
ADAM FTW

Adam and Kris!!!! I’m so excited for the finale!!! Love it!

Marty on May 13, 2009 at 10:13 pm
155

I knew Adam was in the finale but WOW, Kris. He’s okay-artistic, creative, and cute but vocally he’s so mediocre. Idol is rigged and the top two is based off of itunes sales. That’s why Cook “won” last year.

K on May 13, 2009 at 10:13 pm
156

America sucks bit time!!!!

Now all tehgays will be supporting Adma dn Kris probably dun stand a chance

And Simon has crossed the line by saying Adam will win AI, is he gay also??

kelvin on May 13, 2009 at 10:14 pm
157

If what Ryan said is true, one million votes between top 2, then its Kris’s title to lose. While many of Danny’s votes will go away totaly, whatever stays will go with Kris.

Anyways, at least things will get back to normal here. Goodbye all you Danny fans.

chessguy99 on May 13, 2009 at 10:14 pm

Yes, Adam fans, be complacent. No worries. Adam has the final in the bag now.

O_O

susiemi on May 13, 2009 at 10:14 pm
159

Me happy!

I am a big Adam fan, but I think Kris is pretty cool too & I’m glad he made it to the finale.

The first time Kris performed on the show, I had no idea who he was. Idol never showed him during the auditions or during H’wood week. This guy didn’t have a slamming back story, like Gokey, Sarver, or Lil. Kris made it through week after week on his talent — and he seemed to get better with each performance.

Congratulations, Kris. As they say, you did it the old fashioned way — you earned it.

Fletch on May 13, 2009 at 10:15 pm

ADAM IS SO AWESOME I VOTEFOR HIM UNTIL THE VOTIG STOPS-MORE THEN 300 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is it so hard to cheer for who you want and not have to resort to throwing around personal attacks against danny? probally not , i liked all 3 , and can’t wait for the finale , rickey.org is great , but ppl like you bring the whole web site down and make it look bad. grow the f*ck up.

one quesiton: can america vote judges off?

kara didn’t show up during the rehearsal and criticized kris’ performance. how * is that? lol

finally, danny is gone! there’s still justice in america!

Not sure how some you people live with yourselves being so negative towards people you don’t know who are ON TV. Completely devoid of any class. It’s one thing to not like someone’s voice or their style, but how some people rip apart people’s personalities… I said it before, DISGUSTING. May the more talented of the two lesser talents win. Go Kris.

Julia on May 13, 2009 at 10:16 pm

why do all fans have to gang up on the opposition? can’t we just have a peaceful finale and may be better man win

ok people don’t jump down my throat, but I just don’t know if adam could make a good album the way he sings. I like him but i don’t think he could sell like 14 songs when he screams. If he stops screaming then i think it will be a amazing album though.

i’m sorry but Kris should have went home instead of Danny. Man, America got that wrong. anyway, now all my votes go to Adam!
Adam for Idol!!

Oh, just wondering but, was there a group performance? I didn’t see one but I also missed the first few minutes so i could have missed it.

xAdam_For_IdolX on May 13, 2009 at 10:17 pm
171

Kris is only one with realistic chance of beating Adam. Now his numbers will be further energized with Danny’s fans who will vote for Kris.

Remember that only 1 million separated the bottom two…which I’m assuming to be Danny and Kris. If majority of Danny’s conservative voters flock to Kris, that marginal difference will either be gone or be extremely slim.

Adam now needs to win new support. This is definitely not an Adam LOCK for the win.

kvanar on May 13, 2009 at 10:17 pm

Yes!!! My power went out but it came back just in time for the amazing Katy Perry and the results. This is going to be one of the best (and closest) finales ever!! Who would have thought that Kris would make it this far??

I love the results. This was my Final 2! Whoever wins next week, I will be happy.

If Kris wins, I would be happier, though, because I stood by him even during the beginning of the Final 13 when everyone else is not believing in him. (It would be sad though because Adam is somehow ready for this!) He’s up for surprises next week. I hope he never fails us.

If Adam wins, I would be happy still. Agreeing on what Simon said the other night, he deserves it based on talent. He’s really cool, too. He deserves to be given a break, really.

rica on May 13, 2009 at 10:18 pm
180

I simply love this.

ADAM LAMBERT. The 1st ‘out’ gay contestant is the newest American Idol champion!

Potentially.

Adam must 1st perform with exquisite genius next week. He IS the total package.

But. The Glamberts must vote feverishly next week for victory. Do NOT underestimate disgruntled Gokey fans undermining OUR guy’s triumph by supporting Kris.

The MOST talented contestant throughout this entire season has been & remains Mr. Rock Star! Allison developed into a close 2nd or 3rd based on personal opinion.

>> REMEMBER <<

We Glamberts must NOT assume ANYthing!!

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 10:18 pm
181

Adam is THE best idol EVER. Whatever happens in the finale doesn’t matter because he has already proven himself. I’ll still be voting for Adam non-stop on Tuesday <3. Congrats to Kris. Danny actually made me tear up a little at the end.

jc on May 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm

OMG!! KRADAM in the finale! Whoop! Whoop!

Jenie on May 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm

Congrats Kris! You deserve to be in the finale! The best men (Kris and Adam) have won!

Gokey can Go back to being a truck driver/church singer and perhaps have mild success as a contemporary Christian recording artist. I do wish the best for him.

KRo on May 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm
184

The 2 best & most commercial singers & ARTISTS are left. I would buy albums from both Adam & Kris. I would have included Allison in that mix, too. I’m really happy. The finale is going to be so wonderful. I can’t remember a better top 2. I’m so excited! Congrats to Kris & Adam!

grumpybear23 on May 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm
185

I’m sooooo very happy for Kris and so happy that we saved him, woo-hooo!!! Neither he nor the judges expected it and I’m so excited for the finale next week!!!! I truly will be happy if either Adam or Kris wins…my votes will be going to Kris but Adam’s awesome too. Can’t believe only 1 million votes separated the two of them!

archieangel on May 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm

Vote for Kris cos Adam is gay!!!

kelvin on May 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm

gokey on May 13, 2009 at 10:20 pm
188

sara, I think seacrest said 1 million votes separate the TOP 2, not bottom. Which means it’s still anybody’s game next week.

Danny’s singout had actual human emotion.

laff on May 13, 2009 at 10:20 pm

If Danny stayed… it will be much closer finals…

but then again….. Kris stayed… so I still stand with what I say…..

“it will be a complete sweep for Adam…..”

Go KRIS!!

Richard on May 13, 2009 at 10:22 pm
193

Btw, I agree with whoever is saying Danny should’ve stayed based on his vocals. Vocally he owned Kris. Kris got through because he’s “cute” and can arrange songs to fit the voice he has. He makes do with what he has. Will it stand up to Adam, I don’t think so, but thats just IMHO.

Sarah K on May 13, 2009 at 10:22 pm
194

I really think all three guys have done enough to deserve this and are all great in their own rights for sure. But I am so freakin’ happy for dear sweet Kris! I screamed like a teenage fangirl when he was announced a place in the finale. He’s impressed me so much over the course of this season. To come from the unknown out of The Top 36 all the way to the Finale is AMAZING! He’s an awesome musician and will sell records no matter what happens next week. As much as I love Danny, I am somewhat pleased that TPTB did not get their way. The only thing I fear for is Kris getting slammed next week. I hope that he comes out and gives it his all so that no one can say doesn’t deserve his place in the Final 2. He’s more than just a cute face, this guy is truly a diamond in the rough.

Teresa on May 13, 2009 at 10:22 pm
195

whooohooo! the douche bag is gone! cant stand him! he might have a good voice, but his performance is always mediocre and he never showed any sign of being an artist. he ONLY sings well!

on the other hand, kris is always original, and adam also! both are real singers and artists. i’m definitely all for kris; but even if adam wins, i think he deserves it also.

and the judges, they’re soooo unfair this year! i mean, they did pimp some of the previous contestants, but this year they’ve been out of line a lot of times! way too mucy pimping that it seems unfair now! very disrespectful i’d say.

Marisa on May 13, 2009 at 10:23 pm
196

Yes! Adam for the win and the title. Kris will do okay but Adam will do much better because he has more vocal talent.

graycat on May 13, 2009 at 10:23 pm
197

Lots of Danny homophobes seem to be coming out….
I just saw “vote for kris, cuz Adam is gay”

good one, but it won’t be enough. Adam fans will vote nonstop and when people compare Adam and Kris back to back next week…it will be a bit of a joke. Props to Kris for making it this far though, he seems like a great guy.

Sarah K on May 13, 2009 at 10:24 pm

Z they showed his audition during the audition shows however it was in a four in one type thing so they only showed only like fifteen seconds. If memory serves he was on the four in one with felicia barton.

fire87 on May 13, 2009 at 10:24 pm

The Danny fans are probably crying right this very moment…
how sad.

But we Adam and Kris fans are very happy!!!
YEY! YEY! YEY! YEY!

Shut up, Addy….. Let’s see who will win….

Joyce on May 13, 2009 at 10:25 pm
202

abercrombieco2,

Danny got pimped throughout the show. They tried really really hard to make him a finalist. It’s not fair to the other more deserving contestants that they did not get to compete on a level and fair playing field. I think it’s funny how everything blew up in the judges faces. They’re sad because they invested so much in hyping a mediocre singer.

LRdawg on May 13, 2009 at 10:26 pm
203

I’m mad!
Now It’s a final with no class: Kris, sings like any of those average talented guys that gets a guitar and plays in a common bar at night, Adam is a she-goat in the rutting. Iki

guilhermesfs on May 13, 2009 at 10:26 pm
204

Yaaay! Kradam!
They both have bright futures ahead no matter what happens. I hope Adam wins, though. I want to see more of him, for many many years.

(I also hope Adam gets the message from the masses- and Slash- and goes easy on the screaming- perfect pitch or not, lately it has been too much of a good thing)

Mar on May 13, 2009 at 10:26 pm
205

The order will go down the way rickey posted the contestants’ face icons on the top of this site. Kris will win it all!

This year AI sucks cos it has been fixed by the judges. I am beginning to wonder whether they have been told to support ADAM!!!!

ADAM can only scream his heads off, when it comes to singing, it sucks.

kelvin on May 13, 2009 at 10:27 pm
208

woowww…i jst heard that most of Danny’s fans will be voting for Kris and the rest will just totally resigned from voting…i didn’t realize they were so against Adam….Where is the love people???…

anyways, GO KRIS!!!

AInumber1fan on May 13, 2009 at 10:27 pm
209

“DO keep thinking Adam will win it in a walk. Overconfidence by Adam and his fans is great for Kris.”

You know, you’re totally right. I won’t be correcting them anymore.

Go on, Adam fans! Keep believing Adam is going to “sail right past Kris” without a problem!

Pretty ridiculous after his butchering of “Apologize” last night. Why didn’t you run his bad notes on a ring tone Rickey? I guess if you like guys who have no distinct voice and sound exactly like Jason Mraz. Maybe Kris will bring another generic rap song to water down next week. This is going to be the most lopsided finale since Fantasia and DeGarmo.

Chase2000 on May 13, 2009 at 10:28 pm

every gokey vote now goes to kris who wins!

cp on May 13, 2009 at 10:28 pm

Fletch, I agree with everything you said. Adam has always been my number one, but Kris is pretty cool too. And it’s pretty miraculous that he beat out so many talented and pimped contestants since no one knew who he was at the beginning. That just proves that he deserves to be in the finale.

Ursula on May 13, 2009 at 10:28 pm
215

I definitely agree with u graycat….

Kris will sing but it will not be enough to equalize the stunning and amazing vocals and charisma of Adam…

sorry Kris’ fans… =)….

“Vote for Kris cos Adam is gay!!!”

so vote for ADAM!

Marty on May 13, 2009 at 10:28 pm
217

Well even better for Kris then if he was in TOP 2 and only 1 million votes separated him from Adam. Danny’s fans will migrate en masse to Kris now.
So Adam will need existing fans to vote their fingers off and also win new fans. Not sure if that is possible given that Kris now will have a steadier stream of assured support.

All I’ll say is that I’m glad that my time spent voting for Adam wasn’t a waste.

This is the first and will be last season I’ll vote because Adam’s are not a dime a dozen.

Talent like his is rare.

He has the former groupie’s…now cougar’s votes.
Don’t count us out.

Here’s to wishing I was 20 again and could care less if he is bi.

Thank you ADAM.

And he’s a huge Kris fan.

ive been coming on here for a long time , and i haven’t seen this many ignorant people post such immature things on here. even david vs david wasn’t as bad as this year. why do you think adam looked upset when danny was leaving they are all close with each other , when danny looked at adam , he knew adam deserved to be in the finale , danny will do well when he is off of idol , i hope they bring him back next season to sing on the show.

abercrombieco2 on May 13, 2009 at 10:30 pm
223

Settle down people. Why is this world so full of negativity. Hatred over a singing competition is just ridiculous. It’s entertainment not war. It’s been a great season with awesome talent. I think all three men were supportive of each other and we should all take a few lessons from them. Keep it positive and vote for who you truly feel is your American Idol. Peace out.

cindy on May 13, 2009 at 10:31 pm
224

I had a feeling Kris would be in the finale and I knew, if at all possible, that AI would try to have Danny and Adam go last just to sustain the drama a bit longer. They’re so predictable. But I’m happy tonight. The right two people are moving forward. Both seem like really nice, humble men. Danny never moved me … until tonight, that is. I could feel his emotion for the first time. I’ve always felt he could succeed in Contemporary Christian music. We’ll see.

I consider you my best friend on thia site! Goooooo Allison! She deserved to win. Muy mucho love her!

And to the danny fans…. Ha.
This will be a great finalle. Too bad Allison can’t be there.

And you, stop attacking people that don’t like danny. You bounce on anyone who doesn’t like him. A tad hypocritical. And I know you know who you are.

bwatt27 on May 13, 2009 at 10:32 pm

To Joyce,

You’re such a loser and I find your comments too biased. I am not a Kris nor an Adam/Danny fan – but I just cant let you vent out pathetic comments regarding KRIS as biggest upset if he win next week – you know Ms. Know-It-All Asshole, the remaining 2 contestants are both deserving to be AI – they have proven themselves for the past weeks and have made their own image and mark in the public scene thats why people are voting for them. Oh I also know that Kris is honest enough to say thats he’s married contrary to Adam regarding his gayness….

And another thing… This show was supposed to be about the best singer. Do you think Kris or even Adam could have pulled off Paula’s wack-job pick of “Dance Little Sister” last night? And do you not think Danny could have done well with the songs Kris and Adam sang last night? I don’t have a problem with Adam being the chosen one, but Danny should have been in the finals. Adam wouldn’t have been able to coast like he’s going to now. It’s already over. Blow Out City.

This show is crazy where one good performance can take you straight to the finale or one bad performance can get your votes down by a million votes….incredible america ! Even though I like ADam more than Kris …am glad that gokey is out . The last thing I wanted was a Kris/Gokey finale ..omigosh!

Oh_Man on May 13, 2009 at 10:37 pm

I’ve been an Adam fan. I never voted for AI until this season, and only when Adam ended up in the bottom 2/3 did I start. I’ll be voting for only him for the finale.

HOWEVER, when Kris said in his homecoming video, “Don’t cry, Mamma…” my heart melted. I imagine a lot of hearts melted.

I think it would be wonderful if Kris won. At this point, Adam’s superstardom is practically guaranteed, anyway.

But I’ll be voting for Adam like mad for the finale.

hes a bad singer because you said so? you don’t have to like him , but some of the stuff you say is very offensive and disrespectful , its one thing to not like some one , its another going out of your way to bash some one. this isn’t votefortheworst.com this is rickey.org , you would probally be better off posting there instead , with people that post more like you. i’d radther have more people on here that at least are mature and have some respect.

Why does everybody have to put down the contestants they don’t like by calling them names, making fun of their looks.etc.? They all did a great job this season, but let’s make sure we vote for the best singer/performer next week. Kris is sweet but Adam is in a league all his own. His videos are so exciting and beautiful that millions of fans are buying them from ITunes. I did too, for the first time in my life. Don’t forget to keep voting next Tuesday after the show. It’s the least we can do for the amazing talent that is Adam Lambert!!!

Merle on May 13, 2009 at 10:40 pm

Chase2000, most people think Kris has the advantage over Adam. Most Danny fans will never vote for Adam. If there is only 1 million votes separating Kris and Adam, and a significant percentage of Danny fans vote for Kris, what makes you think it will be a cakewalk for Adam? The numbers don’t add up.

Rick on May 13, 2009 at 10:40 pm
236

Some Danny fans may be angered that Kris beat HIM out for the final 2 & throw their support behind Adam. Okay!?

The majority believed Adam would make the finals. The much-pimped Danny was expected to get there also but Kris stood in the way.

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 10:40 pm

People who are saying that next week Adam is gonna sweep, their are a bunch of losers there’s a reason Kris made it trough, and now a lot of Gokey fans are gonna vote for him, don’t take it for granted..

Still a lot of hate towards Danny i see,,, guess you didnt really listen to his singing… tonight he was brilliant just like Simon said,,was very moving the way he sang that song… was a very classy exit imo…..

Hahaha Danny got pimped on the show sure but Kris got pimped on this site as much or more ….so both got pimped like hell. There is no way otherwise they couldve survived past Allison Iraheta. Dying to see a duet between Adam & Allison.

Oh_Man on May 13, 2009 at 10:44 pm
241

Yeah I don’t think many Danny fans will vote at all. Maybe a few immature ones. But a true fan would just be pissed that Kris made it over Danny and if anyone got the votes it would be Adam. But in all honesty, I don’t think many Danny fans will be voting. I know if Adam got voted off I wouldn’t even watch the finale.

Hi: This is gray cat’s mom and I am going to call myself black cat because I feel like crossing someone’s path!!! I think Kris will probably win. Let’s face it — Katherine McPhee should have won, Malinda Doolittle should have won and anybody with a brain in their head knows David Archuleta should have won so why not make it four lousy choices in a row and pick Kris over Adam? There was actually no one in this year’s contest who was really interesting but Adam seems to be friendly, well mannered and certainly not egotistical so why not give him a break instead of focusing on his personal choices? Even though the wrong person won last year, the top ten were way above and beyond this year’s contestants. Danny was much better than Kris, but then so is Mickey Mouse. Adam has the most talent, has a great personality and his head is the right size for his body. I wish him luck but still won’t hold my breath expecting a good pick for this year’s idol. Their record is very poor for doing it right the last three years and to begin with, this year they added an idiot for a fourth judge. Gosh — I think some of the bad vibes from a lot of the others on this site must have rubbed off!! Don’t blame gray cat — she had nothing to do with my comments.

graycat on May 13, 2009 at 10:47 pm
245

Okay, Sarah K. If Danny fans don’t vote, but there are only 1 million votes between Adam and Kris, then you still admit that it is going to be close next week, right? For all we know, Kris had more votes then Adam tonight.

Rick on May 13, 2009 at 10:47 pm
246

Whoever wins next week is all fine to me .. both Kris and Adam had shown some tremendous artistic performance .. both had shown originality which i think what AI wants for this year ..

a true artist is not only a good singer but one must know what kind of artist he would be .. and both of them had proved themselves on this

I hope both Kris and Adam will choose songs that really shows their potential … I’m hoping for Adam to sing Mad World and Kris to sing Falling Slowly in the finale ..

May the best man WINS !!

bwatt27,

Thank you very much. It was obvious that they threw a certain contestant under the bus *cough* (Allison). Every media source have been baffled why she didn’t get in the top 3. She didn’t get to play on a even playing field.

Going back to Rock week, I think it’s horrible how Danny had a bad night and he gets a “A++” for “effort” (whatever that means). When did the judges praise a person for “effort”…it’s a singing competition remember! He’s a grown man, tell him it was horrible. Oh yeah you can’t, you invested so much in pimping him up since the beginning of the show. You can’t stop the crazy Danny hype.

American Idol is like the college BCS. It’s time for a playoff system. Allison would have been a finalist.

LRdawg on May 13, 2009 at 10:49 pm
248

I agree with you, Sarah K.

IF Adam had NOT made the finals, I wouldn’t be watching next week, let alone throwing my votes towards another challenger.

Hmmph!

251

The best way to stop flame posts and continuing anger over bigoted and nasty remarks is simple…DON’T ENGAGE! That’s all!

But when u are tempted to engage, then its a downward spiral and very often hidden bigotry rears its head. You will very likely never see that person’s point of view or convince them otherwise, so why bother?

Just IGNORE the bigoted, nasty, lopsided remarks and just enjoy the great TV show called American Idol.

kvanar on May 13, 2009 at 10:52 pm

Adam we love you!!! You rock!

Thank you everyone for voting, we truly have the two most deserving people in the finale.

Adam should win, but I wouldn’t be too sad if Kris won b/c I believe both of them will do great in the future and they are both very different.

Anabda on May 13, 2009 at 10:52 pm
253

I haven’t always been a huge fan of Danny but I have to admit his swan song made me tear up and I even cried a little bit when he mentioned his wife again. I think my biggest problem with him was that (for me) he didn’t show the proper way to grieve Sophia’s death. But I guess people deal with tragedy in different ways and who am I to judge how he decided to deal with it? That being said, I wish Danny well and hope he really just takes some time for himself away from this mayhem called show business. Congratulations to Kris and Adam for making it to the Top 2 — no two contestants have deserved it more!!!

Katherine on May 13, 2009 at 10:52 pm
254

I think a lot of Adam fans, maybe even the Gokey-haters (a small subset of Adam fans, really), split votes tonight to get an Adam-Kris finale.

IF Kris knocks it out of the park on all three songs, he could very well win, but I don’t see that happening. I could be wrong, and quite honestly if Kris does a triple-knockout, maybe he should win. The problem is this: Adam almost certainly has been saving the best for last.

cgweeks on May 13, 2009 at 10:53 pm
255

there is a difference between danny and adam… although you may say that both were ‘pimped’ to be in the finals.. the idea of danny getting into the finale was being forced because he hasn’t really had much to show while although adam has been getting so much support and ‘pimpage’ to be in the finale, adam really dersevred the spot because he has been great ever since

Joey on May 13, 2009 at 10:55 pm

If the judges truly believe that Adam deserves to be the next American Idol, they should let his talent speak for itself instead of the thinly-veiled bus-throwing they’ve done to Kris. Kris’s fan base has proven to be a JUGGERNAUT in eliminating Danny Gokey tonight. They need to be objective next week if they don’t want the same thing happening to Adam.

I hope the judges have finally realized that the fans HATE PRODUCER MANIPULATION. Yes it was done for Danny and Adam but one of them had to suffer the backlash and thank goodness it was Danny.

Katherine on May 13, 2009 at 10:57 pm

You can count on the “Vote for the Worst” site to get behind Kris. They would choose anyone in an effort to undercut the front-runner and heir apparent. And those votes do make a difference.

um what are you talking about , i like all 3 i bought just as many kris and adams songs from itunes as i have bought songs by danny. this isn’t a site for ppl to attack some one they don’t like on the show. thats my point. i just wish ricky would not tollerate offensive and rude posts that basicly have no point at all just to bash some one.

Just coz you can play an instrument does not make you a better singer or does it ??? One good performance of heartless and look where it has taken this guy ..unbelievable. Adams gonna rock it next week and ADam Fans vote like crazy …please……please……Adam deserves it the most based on overall good performances folks.

Born_Free on May 13, 2009 at 11:02 pm

@z: Adam’s VOCAL CORDS ARE musical instruments. He needs no guitar accompaniment like Kris, whose singing ability is mediocre, at best.

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 11:03 pm
264

the christian right wing who have been danny’s voting bloc will make sure adam will not win. o’reilly was campaigning against adam and pushing danny. even hasselbeck has been promoting danny every week except last week when danny screeched dream on last week. ai is showing where america is in a socio-cultural aspect.

masha on May 13, 2009 at 11:05 pm

Aprylette ..very well said !!! The ROCK GOD ADam Lambert does not need to be playing an INSTRUMENT …ITs when your singing talent aint your main asset that you need other things to attract attention and it when you dont MOVE around like ADam when your singing and its when you wear one BORING expression on your face all the time like Kris Allen that you need one .sure!

Born_Free on May 13, 2009 at 11:06 pm

FAN OF DANNY’S OR NOT… You gotta LOVE how he sings “You are So Beautiful.” He needs to RECORD that, FOR REAL! I tip my hat to Danny for going out with incredible poise and on an EXTREMELY HIGH NOTE!

DJ Jayito on May 13, 2009 at 11:07 pm
267

I always considered Danny a better singer than Kris …its just that Dannys attitude was over the top and obnoxious. Yes, his last song was infact well done.

Danny slowly became one of my least favs (still like the tone of his voice though), and I was hoping he wouldn’t make it, but dang, the hate towards him from some of you is just unbelievable.

Gimme a break! O’Reilly & Hasselbeck?

Who cares who O’Reilly & Hasselbeck support – or don’t?

Billo was merely gleaning onto Adam’s name for added publicity as Lambert’s popularity soared during the AI season.

Any objection/s by those 2 above have had little or no affect on Adam’s ascension on AI & fame internationally.

He – NOT Danny – is in the finals.

Elizabeth is conservative on MANY fronts so her NOT supporting the ROCK GOD, is no shocker.

Aprylette on May 13, 2009 at 11:16 pm
272

Im so Happy Adam is in the final. Hurray there is justice and sanity in the world after all. I liked Dannys voice but he lacked originality. Kris is good but very forgetable, I can only presume its younger people voting for him as his range is pretty mediocre and his voice soso. kris gets it right some times and then again!!!
BUT ADAM IS THE REAL DEAL AND THE RIGHTFUL WINNER, FINGERS CROSSED OF AMERICAN IDOL. THE BEST THEY HAVE HAD IN YEARS. IT WASENT HIS FINEST HOUR LAST NIGHT BUT OVERALL ADAM HAD AN AMAZING TALENT AND IS A WONDERFUL PREFORMER. ADAM TO WIN.
YOU ROCK ADAM AND BE YOU, THATS WHO ALL OF US WHO LOVE YOU LIKE. ROCK IT BABY AND SHOW YOUR GENTLE SIDE TOO. YOU ALWAYS DO.
GREAT NEWS MADE MY DAY.

linda on May 13, 2009 at 11:16 pm

Being able to play instruments isn’t a talent. Those can be learned. Vocal ability, however, is genetic.

I like Adam, but I don’t hate Kris. I think though that Adam can sing better than Kris. He rarely goes off tune. Kris in the beginning rarely does too; but lately he has more than usual. Also, Kris’ voice is a bit “weak” (for lack of better term). His head tones sound good sometimes, but other times he shouts. He was brilliant in choosing only an acoustic guitar last night because adding more texture to the background would have drowned his voice. His falsettos in “Apologize” were barely audible. Adam’s on the other hand has power. I did notice though that he showed some strain in reaching some of the high notes last night, especially in “One.”

I think Adam has more talent obviously but I think Kris will win, only because his genre is pop and he’s straight. Teenage girls can’t exactly fantasize about a gay dude can they? I would love Adam to win though. I don’t care if he’s gay. If Kris wins, a lot of media coverage will still go to Adam, because everyone’s curious about his sexual preference. If Adam wins, Kris will be forgotten.

I am shocked at all the hate on this site about adam being “gay” or something so ridiculous like that. he is just evolved about things, who knows who he loves and who cares. he is beyond boxes and maybe the haters ought to figure out why someone so fearless offends you. peace out.

singer1 on May 13, 2009 at 11:22 pm
276

I don’t think the finale will be a slam dunk. Adam & Kris are totally different. This showdown is not so much a matter of talent as it is a matter of taste. I think Adam is pretty awesome, but I recognize that his style can be polarizing. That’s ok, though. Great artists shouldn’t try to please everyone. Kris has a great deal going for him as well. It really could go either way. I would like to see Adam win, but I would be happy for Kris as well. What really matters is that they will have careers after Idol, and I think they both have the potential to be very successful. Best of luck to both Adam & Kris.

As for the poster called Gokey, if Danny Gokey is as bigoted as you are, he doesn’t deserve to be called American Idol, even less so a Christian. I will give Danny the benefit of the doubt and assume that he would be offended by the bigotry you are puking out in his name. It certainly doesn’t make him look good.

Fletch on May 13, 2009 at 11:22 pm
277

Julia: you need to stop being so melodramatic. Gokey is gone. Get over it. I actually like this top 2 — Adam is one of the most talented male vocalists we’ve had on idol (minus the screaming) and Kris is a great artist. His interpretation of the kanye song was AMAZING. but go ahead, turn off your tv and storm off like a little brat cuz I along w/ a million others will be tuning in to cheer them on next week.

Now ADAM LAMBERT is the clear winner as there is no competition. You cant be competing with a ROCK GOD with Kris kinda mediocre talent ..yeah by fluke he selected a smart song heartless and made it sound believeable …by fluke !!!
Its not that I hate him but it all just doesnt make sense when you boot out rocking super duper talents like Allison and keep Kris till the finale …ha…

I am happy with who ever wins now. Adam or Kris, they both deserve it in their own way.

I miss Allison though. I wish that she has made it in to the final three.

Just heard the studio version’s of Lambert’s One and Crying. They are amazing. Especially Crying. If he could do one of the longer versions next week a lot of the people who weren’t so excited about the performances would change their minds. I’ve only listened to them once and I’m thinging that there already in my top 4 list of favorites this year.

my pick was kris and allison coz both of them got tiny air time.

at least one of the producers+judges’ master plan is destroyed. i’m happy.

kris will do well if he’s not tied with idol.

z on May 13, 2009 at 11:33 pm
288

I am in agreement with Born_Free that Danny IS a better singer over Kris. No doubt. Danny & the AI producers, unfortunately, isolated & angered many potential fans in the early days of the season by milking the untimely death of his wife for votes. Too sad.

Kris just happened to fill a slot needed of appreciation & humbleness & it worked. He creatively arranges & selects songs tailored to his strengths. He happens to be likable.

So is Adam. Even WITH the spectacular voice, Adam NEVER appears to take ANY of this, AI, the audience, for granted.

Danny could have been there with Adam in the finals. Boy, the judges were certainly pushing for it. But, he was too pompous & smug. Well, I guess so. He was OVER-pimped.

Whereas Simon often accused David Cook of last season as smug, that label is actually more deserved by Danny Gokey.

But, tonight’s exit performance WAS touching. Well done.

Wow, didn’t expect the result, but I guess after last night performance, all three of them deserved to be in the final, but there no way it’s going to happen.

Anyway, now that Kris and Adam are in the finale, I hope to see another wonderful performances from both of them then, and may the better man win

Wait, so does this mean that Kris had the most votes last night? Ryan didn’t mention it wasn’t out of order…only that Top 2 were close in their margin of votes.

Oh, and RICKEY, I’M TYPING IN CAPS, SO HOPEFULLY YOU’LL READ THIS ONE…..

This is what I was hoping for!! Danny is OUT!! Haha!! Yes!

And it may seem like Adam winning is a sure thing, but Glamberts, do NOT think that! The majority of Danny’s fans will now be voting for Kris. So we need to vote non-stop for Adam next week! Don’t get too comfortable!

Adam needs to pull out everything’s he’s got!! I hope he doesn’t assume he’s going to win either. He needs to take it to an even higher level!

ADAM FTW!!!!!!!

I’m glad Danny’s done…. now he won’t have to withstand all the hatred against him. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Danny cheerleader, never voted for the guy, but the past few weeks I was amazed at the extent to which people bashed him. He’s just a guy who tried out for a show. The producers took a story and ran with it. I hardly believe that he purposefully pimped out his wifes death. I think hes actually a decent guy and doesn’t deserve this kind of crap.

That being said, I think Kris now has the title in the bag with all the Gokey supporters pushing him for the most votes. He and Kris had similar styles and they aren’t as polorizing as Adam.

Steph on May 14, 2009 at 12:05 am

To JEISELA and JOYCE:

You know what? drop the envy! You are both assholes! if you’ve noticed, nobody seconds your proposition that KRIS should be the one sent home. You are both losers and not talented. Based on the performance last night KRIS’ rendition of HEARTLESS was superb. But why am I not surprise that both of you did not see that? Because ONLY A TALENTED PERSON CAN SPOT THE DIFFERENCE OF A GOOD MUSIC FROM A BAD ONE. Besides, you should imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship. If who your rooting for did not make it, you should not criticize who’s left based on personal attacks! Both of you are morons. Pathetic looser like your Idol Danny! Hahahaha…..Talunan kasi kaya wala nang masabi…hahahaha….

And I agree with WARREN that you are loosers! LOOSERS!

Wow AI is crazy!!
actually danny was singing better than kris last nite, and if danny sails thru, the show will be so predicted. good luck danny!

it’s Adam vs kris now.

i think the dark horse-kris could win this thing. he has the look, the voice is okay, and he is humble, and he sells! but i’m telling you there are many many Kris allens in America.
the world need someone fresh, new and different!

i think Adam (he is my fave by the way) should be American Idol because the voice is insane, he is very creative, unique, handsome, humble, he has good attitude & so sweet(if you watch carefully everytime he finished singing he always says thanks to the band first! and then to the audience and the judges). And last but not least HE sells too!

adam and kris are relevant and current. danny was old-fashioned and karaoke.

kris and danny? similar styles? are you from outer space?

danny played along making it seem that all the love songs he was singing was dedicated to his wife. “i wanted to sing that song” re: you are so beautiful? that was a pathetic play for votes.

Yay for Kris & Adam making the finale. Now I really don’t care who wins (not that I really cared this season, but I didn’t want Gokey to win)… Although I can relate to Kris’ type of music more, Adam is one heck of performer (strange but good at the time). May the best man win.

Okay, I need a little room for some Kara hate. Just finished watching the show on the west coast. Love or hate Danny, he came and did what he started out to do. He gave it his best and deserves better than Kara’s theatrics of “Oh my God” and boohoohoo. I felt far more true compassion and love from Kris and Adam, and he was their competition! I think the three of them did bond, even though they may have had their differences. I am tired of Kara’s OTT performances (You’re a Rock God, etc, and I am a huge Adam fan). Danny was quite classy tonight and left on a high note, in my opinion. Does not need any disingenuous farewells. There, I feel better. Go Kradam!

Adam fans, don’t fall for the “If Adam doesn’t win & Kris DOES, then that’s cool”. The Kris fans will be power-voting for their guy next week like there is no tomorrow – because there will not be.

They want KRIS to WIN, not ADAM.

Staunch Adam supporters must unite behind Adam & vote like CRAZY! Forget the roommate stuff & that the guys are swell friends. Puh-leeze!

This is a competition where only 1 contestant WINS. The 1 who comes in 1st place! The AI champ then has the support & muscle of the financial power afforded by 19 Entertainment. The runner-up gets crumbs.

Soooo. Remember that Adam NEEDS this victory & do not console yourselves with his talent being so superior that he will make it out there anyway. He has not made it at this point, has he? He auditioned for American Idol to acquire the exquisite opportunity to have major musical success. We must not take his talent for granted. Next year’s AI contestants will ATTEMPT to replicate this type of musical genius. We actually have him THIS YEAR! WOW!

We voted Adam to the AI championship. Now, we must solidify & not assume he has this victory in his pocket.

Adam must WIN IT ALL!!!!!

a dark horse must win American idol and that is Kris Allen!!! most original contestant ever..So Fans of Kris Allen. support him and vote vote vote!!!

I see this finale more like of a
Jordin vs Blake…

Adam is Jordin who is the obvious winner for the season…

and Kris is Blake who is the dark horse of the competition and should never be counted out.

I’ll miss Danny… he annoys me! lol… haha

o yea i dont understand all the danny hate….WTF DID HE DO!!!??????????? i hate all this hate being thrown at him he doesnt deserve it at all, he seems like a really nice guy so just shut up already…..kris for the win now, all adam does is screech

Honestly, I really don’t care who wins right now because whoever wins and whoever loses, both of ‘em will still get a record contract and I’m pretty sure ’bout that, whether it be Kris or Adam. Wow, this finale actually has 2 great and HUMBLE singers. I thought that there’s always a smug one in the finale. Kris may not have the best voice and the strongest voice, but he is one original artist. I’d love to see him develop. Whoever wins, both of them deserves it and that’s why they’re the only 2 standing now because they deserve it. Both of them worked hard and actually want this and doesn’t take anything for granted, they’re grateful to be given an opportunity like this and hell they’re both great guys.

Danny gets hate because he’s a christian, his wife died, he sings with emotion and sings his songs in honor of his dead wife, he’s honest, he’s not gay, this new socialist country can’t stand a Danny to win, they want an Adam type to rule the airwaves.

gokey on May 14, 2009 at 8:40 am
315

I am a huge Adam fan. But Danny DID deserve to be in the top 3. I defended Danny in many blogs against the bashing about pimping his dead wife. HATED the bashing about that. Cold hearted attacks. I wish Danny only the best.

It is now Adam VS Kris. I just hope it doesn’t become gay VS religious right. I am seeing too much gay bashing and too much religion in posts now. Adam and Kris can make this the best finale ever. These others can totally ruin it. This is a freaking singing contest. I want to hear SINGING! Not biased social and religious views. Please–just keep it out of our faces.

Apyrellete@312 love ya …you took the words out of mouth again …so Adam Fans we better vote for crazy for Adam because I have a gut feeling Danny votes will be going to Kris so dont take anything for granted.
Double your number of votes for ADAM LAMBERT the UNIQUE ROCK GOD.
Someone said right there are plenty of Kris types already in the industry we need change.. ADAM ADAM ADAM alll the way!!! anyday !!! anytime !!! any season!!

#319 GOKEY

I am sorry your favorite lost but it is not necessary to sling lies. Adam IS humble and never misses an opportunity to thank the band, back up singers or people that helped him arrange the song he sang. He doesn’t turn conversations around to talk about himself nor does he come off smug. AND he most certainly does NOT act like a diva.

Yes, he is one of the very few AI contestants that can sing and dance at the same time…most consider this an asset rather than a fault. Adam has displayed a confidence and maturity in his performances since day one…not cockiness…

I would probably have felt the same way you do about Danny if it had been Adam voted off. My heart goes out to the Danny Gokey fans. I know you have suffered a great loss.

It is America’s choice that Adam and Kris are in the finale. I am tickled for both of them. I am happy that Danny is gone but made it as far as he did and will have a successful recording career if that is what he wishes.

Personally, I sometimes felt Danny and his family just wanted to promote the foundation for his dead wife and he has done that very well.

p.s. Did anyone notice that Kris was wearing blue fingernail polish??

Unbelievable to me that people can get on here and degrade a performer because of his sexual preference. For many, the moment they found out Adam was gay, he never stood a chance.

So much for tolerance.

Adam and Kris deserved to be in the finals. Adam Lambert, according to itunes sales data had six of the top 10 spots on the Idol charts this season…Kris had 3 and Danny only one. So who is making money.

Why do people vote for certain individuals and then not buy any of their music? I believe it is because people don’t look at this as a singing competition, it’s all about picking your favorite and sticking with them come heck or high water. That’s why American Idol gets stuck with so many duds…Rueben, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks. All those votes did not equate to record sales (so much for all those big fans).

Personally, I prefer Adam. He has an unbelievable powerhouse of a voice and he deserves to win this thing. Every week he has taken chances that others have not taken. Kris is great too, and I am happy that he is in the final where he belongs. I have loved some of his songs, but his voice just doesn’t match Adam’s (at least for me, which is a personal choice).

If your only reason for voting next week is to hurt another human being because of his lifestyle that you disagree with, then what kind of person does that make you?

All of Dannys votes will go to Kris, KRIS WILL BE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!

I find it very funny that the DannyFans get so roused up over the Danny-hate and now that he is gone all they can do is talk about how Adam is gay. Honestly, it’s a SINGING competition. Come on America…get it right for once.

Sarah K on May 14, 2009 at 11:51 am

the fingernail polish on Kris’ fingers was to support Adam…cause they’re good friends…

Wow, I haven’t cried so much on this show since season 5 when Chris D got out So sad to see Danny (my fave since auditions) get out but wishing him the best of luck in the future! I’m not gonna be bitter and rude and say hateful things about the other two b/c they both are very talented….but I WILL say I’m rooting for Kris now! Hope he can pull it off…he may get a lot of support from Danny fans like myself

to Gokey somewhere up there:

Danny Gokey was not hated because his wife
died – he is disliked because he is a huge
conceited, blow-bag, smut, arrogant and
his after the show interview proved it. He could care less about anyone but himself and HIS
cause……

Julie on May 14, 2009 at 12:41 pm
331

oops, smut = smug.
and if Gokey is not all the above, he sure
comes across that way. He will do well
with church stuff and christain music but
that is about it – he will go the way
of Chris Sligh and drop off the radar
after the summer tour.

Julie on May 14, 2009 at 12:44 pm

Adam can’t win.

The majority of Danny’s votoes will go Kris and there was only one million votes separating Adam and Kris as it was. I am not a Kris fan but the facts and numbers are what they are.

Now, if Danny was the finalist, the majority of Kris’ votes would not have gone to Danny and Adam would win. Why? Because of the voter demographics. Danny’s following was skewed to straight arrow Christians and Kris’s voter demographics are more mainstream.

Another if: if Adam, with all his talent, did not have the turn-off baggage (drag queen, gay, theater)and was more of the average guy, then he would win no matter what. But, Danny’s voters are what they are and most will not votes for Adam.

So, Danny’s loss is Kris’ gain. Adam will have no less of a great future, but he just won’t win AI.

Thank you for the fingernail polish update. I wasn’t criticizing…just observing. I loved it.

Bettysline on May 14, 2009 at 1:12 pm

Adam fans, please please please triple your votes. It’s high possiblity that Danny fans will switch to Kris for sure, especially if the fans were mostly Christian, then they will choose to support a straight man without considering about Adam’s incredible talent and all .

melz on May 14, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Sarah K on May 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm

I think its crazy how people still try to make this a religiousity thing as glenda put it earlier. Its a singing competition! If you put vocals against vocals, no music, straight acapella style and tell them to sing song after song of your choice; i believe Kris could outsing Adam. I still think adam is all about performance he needs a band, he needs someone to help him with arrangements and he needs his makeup and his outfits and lights and pyrotechnics…fine. But chunk it up as a loss America, Kris will win American Idol.

mija on May 14, 2009 at 3:22 pm

And i also think its crazy how people still bring up danny and kris as being pimped!!! So seriously, Adam was NEVER pimped!?!? Puhleese, rewind Simons comments for the last 5 wks straight including all the shows he did with AL FTW, plus his America vote for Adam comments, and end it with Katy Perrys lame cape, which wouldve looked better on Adam anyway! Ha ha!
GO KRIS!!!!!
