Appropriate to the performance.
Only took one time for me to realized Kara's song stinks big time!
Paula was worse.

Katie Holmes and her adorable tot Suri sat in the audience at Tuesday night’s “American Idol” finale.
Katie appeared in the audience during the live telecast holding Suri in her lap.
Actor Anthony Hopkins was also there for the live taping of “Idol”’s big finale, which airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. on FOX. Find out who gets crowned the new “Idol” champ Wednesday night at 8 p.m.
He should have insisted that they lower it a key. Holy Cow... they are professional musicians. They can play in more than one key!!! It’s his fault.
thought kris did better than adam.
It’s his fault for not making them lower the key. It’s nota difficult thing to do.
Kris wins.
Kris absolutely did better than Adam.
Kara wrote the song and said it was meant to be sung the way he sung it-—higher pitched than Kris’ voice. It was written with Adam in mind...
Kris' turn with the Kara song.
HE'S AWFUL!
It's like he can't breathe. There's no melody. And his voice sounds off key.
The fact that it's a crap song doesn't help.
Randy: That key was a little high. You're an amazing competitor. I think your voice suits that song better than Adam's.
Kara: I don't want you to be judged by that song. [Even she can't make excuses for it] I do think it was too high. I congratulate you on an incredible season. And I hope people vote on the season.
Paula: One of the most compelling finales. I wish you the best of luck.
Simon: Kris look. Again I think the highlight tonight was your first song. Watching you tonight as been incredible. I remember your first audition, no confidence [back then]. You thoroughly, thoroughly deserve to be standing on that stage.
I think Kris was better overall too, but it was close.
That’s just not exactly the case. We put songs in different keys all the time. You just lower it about a minor third and it would have worked for him. It’s his own fault for not making them lower the key.
Best part of the show at the end...Carrie sings!!
I’m just going by what Kara said....
Indeed!
I’m sure he could have changed the key. They fact is, neither of them sang it well.
Carire looks and sounds better every time!
Mad World - Excellent soundalike of Gary Jules. My favorite performance of his this season.
(Song 2): Like a squealing fanbelt singing the blues.
Kara's Song: Sounds like Broadway. mumblemumblescreech, something about no boundaries. I'm a big believer in boundaries, personally. They make for a civil society and sane people. The song was proof that Kara's a dingbat.
Kris:
Aint No Sunshine - I'd buy this, provided there's a bit of producing and coffee-shopping done to it. Plus he's a cutie.
What's Goin' On: Just, yum. The guitar is vey sexy. Kris just sealed up the Ferlie votes.
Kara's Idiot Song: Kris is mumbling, too! I wonder if that's a notation on the score: Legato mumble. I can envision Kris' version on the radio and on my iPod. He had trouble singing it, but he sang it better.
My prediction: Kris due to the Ferlies.
Adam will have a career no matter what; can't say the same for Kris, however. Adam is a technical master and an amazing artist. Nevertheless, he should take a page from Coco Chanel and 'always take one thing off' from every performance. With the right production team and band, I'd buy an Adam album in an instant. But I really think Kris won the night.
