The Finale

So...
That was kind of a let-down, wasn't it? Adam and Kris had great opening songs, but it all went downhill from there. Why do they insist on some producer/exec picking a song? Haven't they gotten this far by picking their own songs?
And, admittedly, I got kind of happy when I heard a professional writer had written the "tribute" song. But Kara DioGuardi really let me down. That song SUCKED! It did sound a little better from Kris, but really? She wrote that thinking Adam was going to sing it? Come on. Randy and Simon tried to be kind, but it was bad--"hurricanes and mountains."
So, what do you think? I thought Kris was way better tonight. It was almost like Adam was trying to not be so much himself, but to appeal to the Danny Gokey fans. No uncontrolled shrieking. No glam. It was weird. Kris, on the other hand, never seemed to change who he was for anything. He got progressively better every week, unlike Danny. The middle song, although Randy said it was too small for the venue, I thought it was a true Kris Allen song.
My final word:

Go Kris Allen!
But I think Adam will pull it off.
