ADAM LAMBERT AND KRIS ALLEN AT A.I. FINALE!!...

C'mon, be honest. A month ago, could you have, in your right mind, imagined this "American Idol" finale: Adam Lambert vs. ... Kris Allen?

But that's our oh-so-sweet showdown for next week at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. It will be the over-the-top, boisterous glam rock of Adam against the understated acoustic stylings of Kris. The glitz of Southern California against the down-home, no-frill charms of Arkansas. The break-out star versus the low-key underdog.

Talk about a study in contrasts. We can hardly wait!

And we think America got it right. Gokey, of course, was an early front-runner and many fans believed the judges had him ticketed for the finale. But as the season wore on, it became apparent that there were holes in his game. His performances took on a feeling of bland sameness, and when he tried to kick it up a notch a couple of weeks ago with Aerosmith's "Dream On," his ghastly shrieks had ears bleeding across America.

After we learned that 88 million people voted, and after enduring all the hometown visits and guest performances, Ryan Seacrest (aka the Angel of Death) delivered the bad news to Gokey. The Milwaukee native made his exit after reprising his rendition of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful to Me."

Unlike Danny, Kris started off under the radar. But he built momentum as he proved to be proficient at applying intriguing twists to familiar songs. His version of Kayne West's "Heartless" on Tuesday was arguably the best performance of the night, even outshining Adam.

It's official!!,. The Rocker Adam Lambert and The Dark Horse Kris Allen are on the finale. Well actually I had a bet with my classmate on who will be on the finale, He predicted that it'll be Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey. My bet was Adam Lambert and Kris Allen (I won!,.hahaha). I think, Kris Allen is better than Gokey, Allen is more current he knows how to 'own' a song. His interpretations were so distinct, I really think that he deserves to be in the finale. Well sorry to Lambert's fans but i'm really rooting for kris allen..hahaha..
Can't wait to see who will be the next AMERICAN IDOL..
