I think you nailed it right there.
I haven't been compelled to watch as much as I usually do. I haven't watched the last 3 weeks at least. I find the vids online later and watch them and read the thread while listening.
Idol duets will feature Allison Iraheta with Cyndi Lauper, Kris Allen with Keith Urban, Danny Gokey with Lionel Richie and Carlos Santana will perform with the Top 13. Rumor has it, Adam Lambert will perform with a rock band that is sweet too perfect. KISS maybe?
Santanas Smooth and Pinks So What will be heard on the Idol stage tonight.
David Cook is set to perform the heart-wrenching Permanent as a tribute to his late brother Adam. The single will go on sale after the finale with proceeds funding Davids cancer charity.
This Just In:
Rod Stewart has been added to the finale lineup tonight Anoop Desai and Megan Joy are singing Jason Mrazs Im Yours tonight. via twitter
Tatiana Del Toro will appear on the finale, according to Paula Abdul. via top idol.
Curt Smith of Tears for Fears was in the Idol audience last nightinvited by Adam Lambert. Read Smiths twitters. He calls No Boundries God Awful and says, Fascinated by the Adam/Kris divide amongst friends and hating myself for it. Its only a TV show designed to sell you things!!
Robert X. Sillerman, CEO of Idol parent company CKX anticipates signing both Adam Lambert and Kris Allen to record deals, but says, I would not be surprised if we signed more than two. USA Today
Nigel Lythgoe is also NOT a fan of Kara's No Boundaries:I didnt like the final song that both guys had to sing. In truth their first songs were their best Mad World and Aint No Sunshine. and There are going to be some great guests tonight and I think its a close competition. The only downside is hearing the winners song again. As a side note, he says next year, SYTYCD will be moving to the fall permanently

Well, isn't this something ... despite confident predictions from various sources about who will win tonight's "American Idol" (some relying on questionable statistics), the most reliable source I know of, the speed-dialer-turned-pulse-of-the-people site DialIdol.com, says it's dead even:
Like other people, I would be inclined to say it's Adam Lambert's to lose. Amazingly, he just might. Last year, DialIdol.com predicted an easy win for our hometown boy David Cook. http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2009/05/tonights-idol-winner-too-close-to-call.html
As has so often been said: Dial Idol’s numbers in particular this year don’t take into account , tens of thousands of little girls texting their hearts out for Kris. Wanns be gay rockers like Adam I suspect just leave them ccld.
well said. plus remember you can Power Text. where you batch text using 10 different numbers and with one button you get 10 votes in. also texting doesn’t have busy signals so you can just text and text and text and text.
i am thinking kris for the win. also the lowest rated idol ever has been a season long pimping of the drag queen. they jammed it down our throats how great he was. obviously not alot of people are buying that. lowest idol finale EVAH according to drudge!!!!
Place your bets on which one will give a shout-out to Obama.
$2 on Santana :)
LMAO :-D
LOL ;)
Yeah ... I meant to warn you about that. Some of the other moles have restraining orders against him.
:)
thank god we get to hear ‘No Boundaries’ again!! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4O4l06bwsw
Simon just said it will be an upset and Chris will win.Insider-CBS
I'll bet you $2 that Obowma will make a special appearance himself to congratulate the winner.
Yeah, I totally agree.
i use to think that. but i really think if he did he would take such ridicule. we are in a world of hurt right now and he can’t be seen as frivolous. i could be wrong.
but he would never never never never live it down.
Ouch.
I'm thinking if the powers that be really wanted Kara to stick around they wouldn't be going out of their way to dis the song she coughed up.
Okay, so I won a date, with a mole that is all hands, to Arby's...where exactly does the "dream" part come in???
it stank so bad there is just no way to save it. otherwise they would be pimping it.
i think it suits adam perfectly. contrived, fake and over the top “hurricanes”
Yeah, season 8 is not looking good for Kara. LOL
