Let's begin the hype for the finals..contest questions and all else right here!

[Jimbo]

We are down to Kris vs. Adam. When I see interesting stuff leading up to the final show I will post it here.
I have a picture of Kris only here..if Idol can pimp Adam only for 12 weeks I can pimp Kris!

This week I will have 10 points if you get the correct person to WIN. I will also use the 5 bonus questions that EW has in their contest for 3 points each. (I am in 5th place right now out of over 13000 in that contest.)

this will make the contest wide open for everyone.

The standings as of now...

1. Steve 99 points
2. Tanya 91 points.
3. Rhonda 87 points
4. Jimbo 86 points
5. Chuck and Amy 85 points
7. Liz 84 points
8 Jon 83 points (Big catch..he is the only one to pick Adam to win before the top 13..he will get 25 bonus points for that.)
9. Dion 83 points
10..Steph 75 points
11. Craig 71 points

Kayla , Kristi and Beck kind of stopped playing. But Beck also picked Adam to win and Kristi had Kris second. Steve is the only other one to have Kris second. Only a few even had Kris in top 5.

Here are the questions..you don't have to answer them until you watched the show on tuesday. They all deal with the finale on wednesday.

10 points..who will win?

here are the 3 point questions..
1 Will the two finalists dress in boxing clothes at any point during the results show, or in a pre-packaged clip? yes or no?

2 Will the finale run over its scheduled time? yes or no?

3 Will the winner be seen crying after he's crowned the American Idol? yes or no?

4 The contestants will sing what song during the results show?
"The Time Of My Life"
"Unwritten"
all of the above
none of the above

5 The finale will feature which repeat performance?
Anoop's "My Prerogative"
Allison's "Papa was a Rolling Stone."
none of the above
all of the above.

---------------------------------------------------------------

so if you find anything interesting to post before the show on tuesday..here is where you put it! This is where to put your takes on the show and predictions.

Thanks all for playing this year!..Jimbo

OK, the final show is in the books. Who was the big winner? Last year Simon gave it to David Archuleta..and he only got beat by 13 million votes or something. So it's hard to tell..but here are my views round by round..
first round: Kris wins the coin flip and makes Adam go first for the first time all year. They have to do a song from earlier in the year. Adam does "Mad World" The magic was gone this time. Kris does "Ain't No Sunshine" and it was just as good as ever. When Kris does a song it sticks to your head and makes you want to sing along. After the initial thrill of Adam's vocal abilities, repeated listens leave you empty. Round one..Kris

second round...songs from producer Simon Fuller....perfect example..Adam is vocally brilliant doing "Change is Going To Come"..but you can't sing along to it if you played it in your car. Kris does a stripped down version of "What's Going on" that doesn't get rave reviews but I woulddig singing along a thousand times. I'll call this one even.

third round..they get to do Kara's song "No Bounderies" which will be the first single for the winner. The usual Idol winning song..tough to sing for both contestants. I think the song fits much better for Kris, but he didn't really nail it. Not bad though. Adam was his worst vocal of the year. Randy said as much but the others just gave him props for the year. Slight edge to Kris.

So overall I thought Kris did better. If you turned on Idol for the first time all year I think Kris would have grabbed you more. After an hour Kris has the most busy signals on dialIdol.. a good sign!

I have to vote for Kris to win. For the bonus questions I say no to #1..yes to #2.. yes to #3..none of the above on 4 and 5.

So what did you think?

[Stephanie]

i thought adam had the best performances of the nite ,but i still think kris will be the winner

[Stephanie]

whats going on is the first song i played on my guitar in front of a crowd. good memories :)

[Beck]

I'm actually going to be able to watch it tonight! I haven't watched a results show all season long. :(

[Stephen Morse]

Jon 1 - no, 2 - yes, 3 - no, 4 - none, 5 - All of the above - ADAM WILL EWIN

Steve 1 - no, 2 - yes, 3 - no, 4 - none, 5 - None of the above - KRIS WILL WIN

Rhonda 1 - no, 2 - yes, 3 - no, 4 - Unwritten, 5 - None of the above - I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL WIN, I want to say Kris but I've been hurt in the past...Ok I'll say Kris.

[Jimbo]

Amy picks Adam..here are her comments..

ET says 51% Adam, 49% Kris. When it is this close, anything goes like Shawn Johnson winning D with the Stars. 1. no 2. yes 3. no 4. and 5. none of the above

[Jimbo]

Liz went with Kris on my facebook!

[Jimbo]

so far the results show has been a blast..find out the winner in 45 minutes. If Kris wins it will be a great season, if Adam wins I will consider it a disapointment. Did dig Adam's Herman Munster shoes with KISS though.

[Jimbo]

Yessssssssssssssss! Now that's what I'm talking about! Congrats to Kris and Adam, they were both class acts tonight. As a second place finisher I really like Adam and hope for a great career. For some reason I see Kris doing very well, but Allison might have the best career of all.
I will have all the contest totals tomorrow..I have to see the EW contest to see if Kris officially cried or not..I don't think he did until he hugged his wife with 3 seconds to go on the show. I do believe Steve will be the winner though..nice job buddy!

He was the first winner to keep his composure and sing the song better on his second try.

Great fun tonight..Adam would do great if he ever joined Queen. Loved his Herman Munster boots during the KISS song. Kris could sell a million doing country as well. I pray he finds his niche to be a light to the most people possible.

We have a Christian winning every other year..Ruben..Carrie..Jordin and now Kris. Fantasia as well possibly. The show has a HUGE Christian fan base and I do believe that is the reason Kris beat out Adam..we didn't buy the hype of Idol pushing everything they could do to have him and danny in the finals.

It was a fun year. I will now be on facebook more than this site..if you want to join me over there go to:
