American Idol Season 8 Finale Prediction

I’ve had it with two things about Season 8: Kris Allen and Kara Dia-shut-up. Thankfully, tonight is a promotion-fest two-hour finale. I’m not sure how much of it we’ll actually watch. I think we’ll start around 9pm and fast forward through anything annoying, ridiculous, or agonizing. We’ve been warned to tape past 10pm, though, so be ready with your manual DVR settings tonight. Last year we got to, “And the winner is….. David….” and had to wait for someone to post the last part up on YouTube to see the ending.

Adam beat Kris like a little whipping boy last night, though Kara’s stupid song about hurricanes and other stuff that I can’t remember was clearly one-sided toward Kris’s style. Give Adam something to work with, sheesh!

If Adam doesn’t win tonight, I’m not so sure I’ll be a die-hard AI fan next year. He’s a far better performer, and if America is too stupid to realize Animal Farm is happening before their very eyes AND can’t vote for a decent pop idol, then we’re in a crapload of trouble.

American Idol Season 8 Top 5 Predictions

Allison - photo from AmericanIdol.comWell, that certainly mixed things up a tad with respect to the Top 3. Considering last night’s performances only, Kris out sang and out-showed Allison. I didn’t think her innocence that should have been there was present at all: she was dressed like a hooker and her phrasing was all broken up like she out out of breath. It was not half as good as the same song on “Mr. Holland’s Opus.”

As much as I like Allison, I think Matt has rebounded since he got voted off and saved. She’s been in the Bottom 3 enough times to make me throw her under the bus. Kris has such a following, I have to say that he’s safe, too. You know where I’ll be at 8:00 EST tonight. 🙂

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 Predictions Part Deuce

picture-51Since the much undeserved judges’ save last week, I’ve had plenty of time to figure out who was going to suck most last night, and I was not disappointed. Lil Rounds once again looked like she was going to cry and someone just about had to hold her momma back when Simon was talking. They cut away from her really fast as she started flapping her lips to say something that was going to be censored.

Matt Giraud did better than last week, but at this point, it doesn’t matter too much what he does because he’s competing against Danny, Allison, and Adam anyway. Does it really matter whether you go home as #7 or #4/5? I don’t think so. I’d feel more proud about being runner up than third place, but we should just take a vote now on the losers and get to the big stage to see the real singers duke it out.

For the record, last night was at least the 4th time we have either talked through or gotten up to get food during Kris’ performance. Not a good sign, man. Neither is being in the Bottom 3 five billion times, Anoop Desai.

Nice seeing ya, Lil and Anoop.

American Idol Season 8 Top 9 Post-Show

Last night was another “hot or not” night for the singers. It has been quite a while since there has been such a black and white contrast between the “in” crowd and the obvious eventual losers.

On the “HAWT” list last night: Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta, and Danny Gokey. This is the time of year that David Cook started to make a name for himself last season, and I think Kris Allen is doing the same thing. Don’t get too excited, though, because Adam Lambert could mop the floor with David Cook, so Kris doesn’t stand a chance. Allison, does… maybe.

The “losers” who are digging themselves deeper were: Anoop Desai, Megan Joy, Scott MacIntyre, and Lil Rounds. I’m sorry, but Scott “They just told me five minutes ago that my pants are pink” MacIntyre is going home tonight. Blind will only get you so many votes for so long when you have to listen to his crap of late. The person going home is definitely in that group, but my money would be on Scott if I were a gambling man.
