Yes, Danny Gokey is NOT in the Final 2 of American Idol Season 8. I'm ecstatic about the fact that it's not gonna be him and Adam Lambert in the finale even after everyone's raving about it and the judges' pimping.Well, not really ecstatic. I think he's got a great personality and I actually laughed at his jokes on the show so I'll miss that. But even after that line I just typed, I'm still glad he's not in the finale.
I can't believe Kris Allen is in the finale. He's the major underdog this season with the least exposure among all of the contestants. Now, he'll be battling with Adam Lambert for the title of the 8th American Idol. Does he have a chance to win? Hmmm... considering the fact that he's in the finale without any pimping from anyone, I'll say he's got a BIG chance of winning it all.
Danny vs Kris
People are upset over Danny's elimination over Kris. C'mon, now, people. Kris has a BETTER voice than Danny, who's just lucky to have a husky full-on voice and that's all. Both Danny and Kris have made mistakes throughout the season. They both chose wrong songs for some weeks. Danny yelled most of the time. Kris creeps me out with his awkward falsetto. So, they're just equal to me when it comes to voice and performance quality.
They both tried to be original in the show and most of the time, it didn't work for them, especially Danny. He's just trying so hard that he's beginning to look desperate. And his performances this week are proofs of that.
I liked Kris' rendition of "Apologize". I'll say that his changing the arrangement worked! Not as good as the original, though. But it's a tough song to sing so I'm just glad he sounded good, especially during the a capella of his 2nd song. You can really feel the emotion of the song when Kris performs it. Unlike Danny who just yells the lyrics out most of the time.
They're both good-looking. Danny's ONLY plus over Kris is his personality. Kris is the irritatingly humble/nice guy. But I guess most of the voters, who I believe are mostly women, love Kris more because of his boy-next-door persona. If Simon didn't point out that Kris has a wife, he could've gotten more votes.
I really hope Kris will give it his all and choose very popular songs that he can belt out so the finale will be exciting. I have no doubts about Adam Lambert's performance coz I know he'll bring it all on.
By the way, do they really have to include a picture of Danny and his late wife on the farewell video?! C'mon.
Yeyy! Adam Lambert in the Finale!
After weeks of mixed emotions 'coz of fear that Adam Lambert will be eliminated a week or 2 short of the finale, he is Final 2! Wooohooo!! There's really no surprise 'coz he truly deserves to be in the last 2 to battle it out but I was just scared 'coz you don't really know what the viewers want. But I'm thankful the voters put him in the finale.
I didn't really like the songs performed by Adam this week but his voice is just amazing. I wonder why he hasn't been discovered before American Idol. He has real control of his voice and he's truly an artist. I'll be looking forward to his albums no matter what the result would be. He's truly a Rockstar!
Yes, I don't care now who'll win in the finale 'coz I'm fine with them 2. But, of course, I prefer Adam Lambert winning 'coz he's the only one who deserves it out of all the contestants this season. Like what I said in my previous posts, it'll be unfair if Adam Lambert doesn't win this season.
I can't wait for next week's Finale! Woohoo! Who do you think will win?!
Oohh... David Cook and David Archuleta of American Idol Season 7 are currently here in the Philippines for a concert on the 16th. Too bad they'll be performing in Manila - I'm here in Cebu. I hope I'll be able to catch David Cook's performance on Eat Bulaga this Saturday.Argh. I hate that the local Idol franchise is with GMA-7. I hate that they're the TV network airing American Idol and organizing all these performances from American Idol contestants & winners. I know ABS-CBN can do a way BETTER job in organizing an event for something as major as American Idol.
Yes, I'm a Kapamilya. Nothing will change that.
gudluck, kris allen! hehe. ampowgi mo. aw
