Adam Lambert - Tomorrow’s Star

So, tonight the winner of American Idol Season 8 will be announced. Will it be Adam Lambert? The one thing we can be sure of is that Idol is going to drag out tonight’s show. Tonight’s show is going to be 2 hours long, and I am guessing about half of it will be commercials!! While it may be a big night for Adam Lambert and Kris Allen it is a bigger night for American Idol. This is when they really earn the big bucks in advertising!! The good news is we will get to see David Cook and the Black Eyed Peas, and of course we will find out who wins Season 8. Fingers crossed for Adam.

Last nights show did not disappoint, and it was argueably one of the best Idol Finals ever. We also got to see Carrie Underwood perform her new single ‘home sweet home’.

The final 2 Adam Lambert and Kris Allen each had to sing 3 songs. The 1st song was the contestants favorite song they performed from this season, the 2nd song was a choice by Simon Fuller and the 3rd song was ‘the winners song’ which was co-written by Kara DioGuardi. Kris won the coin toss and he decided that he wanted to go second which meant that Adam would perform first in each round.

ROUND 1: CONTESTANT’S CHOICE
Adam decided to sing Tears for Fears - Mad World again. This was a great choice, and it is certainly a favorite among Adam Lambert fans.

Adam Lambert - Mad World

ROUND 2: SIMON FULLER’S CHOICE
In Round 2 Fuller picked ‘Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come’ for Adam, and ‘Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On’ for Kris.

Adam Lambert - A Change is Gonna Come.

Kris Allen - What’s Going On

ROUND 3: ‘THE WINNER’S SONG’ - ‘NO BOUNDARIES’ - KARA DIOGUARDI
Both contestants had to sing this song. Unfortunately this has become somewhat of a tradition with American Idol, both contestants have to sing the same song which is supposed to be the big coronation song. The song is always pretty weak and it really shouldn’t be the last song performed during a season. It is always a bit of a let-down.

Adam Lambert - No Boundaries

Kris Allen - No Boundaries

Regardless of whether Adam wins or doesn’t win tonight I think that Paula Abdul said the most intelligent thing she has ever said on American Idol. She told Adam, “What ever happens with this Idol journey; I know with every fiber of my being that you are going to be iconic”.
