OMG. OH MY GOSH!!!

I JUST WATCHED THE LAST PERFORMANCE FOR AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8 AND IT WAS

OMGOMGOMG! American Idol is awesome! Why didn't I watch it until recently?!

Adam and Kris sang 3 songs each -- their choice, Simon Fuller's (creator of AI) choice, and No Boundaries, which was co-written by Kara DioGuardi and is the designated single for the winner. Adam and Kris had flipped a coin, and Kris won, so he chose to go second.

Round One. Adam sang Mad World first, and it was so omg! He was wearing this long, black cape, and there was this blue light behind him and blue fog everywhere. Very fantasy-ish and mysterious.  Randy, Kara, and Paula loved the performance. Simon said "maybe it was the coat, it was a little bit over-theatrical," but I disagree coz I love this sort of thing!

Judges' comments: Randy said that he loved that Adam was showing his sensitive side, and that he was rocking the long coat and he loved the fog, and that he was gonna give Adam an A+ for that performance. Kara said that Adam rocked it again tonight. Paula said that Adam was “astonishingly handsome”, and she was proud of him, and that the song was a great way to start the show. Simon though, who was in the media this week saying he thinks Kris Allen will win, claimed that Adam performed the song better the first time, and that the coat made him look like the Phantom of the Opera.

Kris Allen sang Ain't No Sunshine, which I have to admit was really good.  All the judges loved it, and Simon said that Round One went to Kris.

Round Two. Adam sang A Change is Gonna Come. The judges raved about it, and even Simon said that Adam was back in the game. Kris sang What's Going On. Randy and Simon thought the song was too light for such a stage of competition. Kara and Paula focused their comments on the song, with Paula saying that Kris made Marvin Gaye proud. Round Two went to Adam.

Round Three. Adam sang No Boundaries. Randy said it was a little pitchy. Kara said she was proud her song got sung by Adam. Paula said, "Adjectives can't express what you've brought to the show." Simon said he wasn't going to judge the song. Kris's version of No Boundaries was a bit slower than Adam's, but he wasn't able to pull off the song either. Randy and Kara thought the song was too high for Kris. Paula told Kris to be proud of himself. Simon said the first performance was the best.

Kris said, "Me and Adam said we're not competing, we're just coming out to put on a good show tonight."

Don't forget to watch the finale tomorrow! StarWorld (Astro channel 711), 6-8 PM and replay at 8-10 PM.
