Adam & Kris Race To The Finish




Last night was sadly the last performance show of the season , and it was Adam Lambert's and Kris Allen's final time to show America what they got....and that they did here's the rundown.


Round One - Personal Choice

Adam Lambert- He started the show off with his Personal Choice of "Mad World" that he did back in Birth Year Week, and I think it was even more amazing on the big stage it was haunting and beautiful , especially with the foggy entrance he came into , Kara praised him saying "You rocked it again tonight" Paula stated what is usually a kiss of death saying "he looked incredibly handsome " but she adored it , and Randy gave him an "A-plus for Adam!"


Kris Allen- For his personal choice was "Aint No Sunshine" from Top Downloads week which he was highly praised on , he did an amazing job once again and like i said so much better on the big stage I love when he's on the piano , Randy said "That was one of your best performances ever on this stage!" , Kara praised Kris on his ability to connect with the audience which she always seeks out saying , "You make us feel like you're singing directly to us" and Simon called Kris the champion of Round 1:)


Round 2 Simon Fuller's Choice


Adam- Simon Fuller's was "A Change Gonna Come" and by the way he looked so handsome in his Burberry suit , anyway he was able to change up the R&B hit to his own unique rock style while still keeping it have the same feeling and message, Simon told him "This puts you 100% back in the competition" and got praises from the rest of the judges.


Kris - Simon Fuller's choice for Kris , keeping with a sort of socially conscious theme , was "What's Going On" and you know what I thought he did really good , on his guitar and changed it to his kinda Jason Mraz feel , Randy & Simon weren't sure if it was enough at this stage in the competition , and Simon called Round 2 on " A million percent Adam".


Round 3 - The Coronation Song (Co-written by Kara)

Adam -was the first to belt out Kara's song "No Boundaries" which is a good song , but i feel there is alot of lyrics to sing , Adam did his best with this song , having it keep the sound of a usual Idol winning song , but still having his glam rock feel on it , Good job Adam! :)It didn't seem like any of the judges cared for the song except for Kara , Simon said" Look , I'm not going to judge you on that performance , I'm going to judge you on the season , and you have been one of the most original contestants .... and when we do this we look for someone who could be an international star and I now we've found that with you".

Kris - was next on the final song performance of the season with , his take on "No Boundaries" which was also another best try and he did a solid performance,( I'm starting to like the song more know by this point) , Randy told Kris "You should be very proud of what you've done in this competition" Simon praised him on his evolution in the competition saying "You have thoroughly deserved to be standing on this stage tonight" .


Ok that is it for the recap , but who will take it home? Kris and Adam are so incredibly different in styles of music , both talented nonetheless , but who will be crowned winner as Seacrest said it's the Guy Next Door VS. The Guyliner :) No matter what happens both of them deserve the best and we will be seeing them for a long time to come.
