American Idol Final 2 Adam Lambert Kris Allen

What's going on? For the first time, I'm watching American Idol in real time, not Tivo time.

I guess I'm not mad at America for not supporting my sister Allison. I really thought the final would come down to Adam and Allison. I'm over it. I never stay mad for very long, good thing for Stefan. Life is too short to stay angry, and it's like taking a poison pill and expecting it to kill the other person.

So tonight, it comes down to Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.

Round 1

Adam sang, "Mad World," and in Vinny's words, "he's good. Oh yeah, this guy's the best. I hope he wins."

Yeah, now I'm totally biased, if my son likes Adam, well, I like him, too. I personally see Adam connecting to the music tonight, something I thought he'd been lacking up to this point.

Kris Allen sang, "Ain't No Sunshine," while playing the piano. He has the props (piano), but he ain't got the mojo. He's a fine singer, but a bit boring.

Round 2

Adam performs Sam Cooke's, "Change Is Gonna Come."

"Oh he is good!" says Vinny. "Woooooooohoooooooo! I'm definitely going to buy his album."

He nailed this song. And he connected to it emotionally. Adam is on fire, fo shizzle.

Kris singing, "What's Going On," got the job done, but I didn't get an erector pilli muscular contraction, I mean goose bumps, for you non-anatomists.

"This guy's ok, but not that good," says Vinny.

Round 3

Adam and Kris are both singing a song, "No Boundaries," co-written by 4th and newcomer judge Kara. I liked it, and Adam sang the song different than he normally sings. And I felt inspired. He gets a B+.

Kris singing the same song, made me want the song to end, NOW!

"Nah I don't like this....this guy is definitely not gonna win. It's killin' me........"

Adam 3 for 3.

Kris 0 for 3.

We predict America's new Idol is (drum roll, please) Adam Lambert because in Vinny's words, and I concur, "he's awesome!"

As for Carrie Underwood, I hope they can't take away her Idol trophy based on tonight's performance. Though she got better on the 2nd half of the song, til she hit the chorus, where she seemed to have pitch problems. Maybe she's ill?

"Why is Carrie Underwear singing? asks Vinny.
