Idol thoughts

As I guessed, Kris Allen won AI the other night. My theory is that he had a combination of things going in his favor. He and Danny Gockey are somewhat similar and probably many of Danny's voters chose Kris. AI is one of the few family friendly programs out there in tv land these days and Kris has more appeal to middle America than Adam. The third factor would be the cuteness of Kris. I'm sure he garnered many more of the female voters than Adam. All of that being said, I believe Adam to be the most gifted vocalist to ever appear on the show. I don't think he need worry one minute about his future as a singer. It was similar to last year in the sense it didn't really matter who finished first. The top 2 are both sitting pretty. On a similar "note" I recently learned that Randy Jackson for the first time ever is promoting and producing a former Idol - none other than my favorite Idol of all time, Brooke White. She's looking pretty savvy from where I sit. I believe she has a bright future ahead of her.

Yes the teenage girl vote can do wonders when it comes to how long you last on AI. Kris would have got the boot a long time ago were it not for the preteen and young teen female vote. Good for Brooke White, I know how much you love her.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the season. I haven't watch Idol for a long time myself, but there was a time when I very much enjoyed it.

I completely agree. That's similar to what I said about it in fact. Adam is a better singer but Kris is more likeable.
