I missed the first part of his second song. I thought his first performance of Mad World was better (it was just him on a chair).

In getting caught up on the Adam vs. Kris thing I decided I was in the Kris camp. That being acknowledged, my money's on Simon declaring Adam wins this round.

Last week Adam demonstrated he should not be allowed to sing U2. This week, Adam demonstrated that he should not be allowed to sing Sam Cooke. Could we please go back to Led Zeppelin?
That said, I do like him, and think he will win.

I think Adam peaked a bit too early. Either that or the fatigue of hearing his praises all the time has set in. I thought since the beginning it would be Adam in the finale and I think now, I want Kris to win.

They're both very different types of performers. Both of whom I'd love to listen to at any time depending on the mood I'm in. I'd love to have a blues/rock album by Adam and a folk/rock album by Kris. It's a shame one has to win, because I consider them both winners at what they're best at.

two hour finale?? Why the hell?

Isn't it always two hours?
Watching DWTS now for the first finale ever, rooting for the fellow Iowa girl. Not sure where Lady Gaga fits in. At least she sang "Just Dance" instead of "Poker Face," I guess.

I don't know I can't remember. I pretty much never pay attention to results shows and just pay attenion when it's time to say who is voted off or in this case wins.
But ooh Thursday SYTYCD starts, I always like that better than American Idol.

Definitely looking forward to seeing a full season of SYTYCD--I just got hooked on it halfway through the last season.
Also watched Idol (second ep I ever watched; last week was the first). Adam was definitely better in comparison to Kris overall. My initial reaction to hearing Kris do "What's Goin' On" was that he made it pretty, not passionate, which is basically what Simon said. I thought Adam did a better job with the Sam Cooke number, as well as that final song, which isn't a good song, but I liked his arrangement better.

AI: I pretty much agree that they went into the final song even. I'm not sure who did a better job with it. It was so bad. At first I thought that Adam was off melody, but then Kris sang and sounded flat, so I guess the melody just sucked.
I want Adam to win, but I think they're both fine choices.
