I watched American Idol last night and I was LOVING the performances until both Adam and Kris sang the brand new song, “No Boundaries” written by new Idol judge Kara DioGuardi. Blech. I thought it stunk. Neither Adam nor Kris could make it sound good which is definitely saying something…that the song stinks!
Let me mention now that I’ve NEVER been a Kara fan. Here’s the thing: It was not necessarily HER at the beginning. I was mad because they were messing with the “three judge” Idol flow. Why fix something that is not broken? Then, as the weeks went on, Kara just became annoying. I really think Paula is super cool (and wacky too, yes I’ll admit) so I don’t like them throwing in another girl judge just “because.” And then Kara went and wrote a yucky Idol finale song. So I’ll just go ahead and call Kara the “loser” of the night.
The “winners” are Adam and Kris. I’ll be honest and say that I think Adam did a little better. He’s such a gifted singer and performer. Paula mentioned that he is “iconic” and I believe he is. Simon even called him a “Worldwide Star.” I LOVED that he performed “Mad World” because that was one of my favorite performances all season. And he killed “A Change Is Gonna Come.” I rolled my eyes a little when I heard them announce that song, but Adam really rocked it. So, “You go Adam! I voted for you!”
Kris was also super strong. Even though Adam was better OVERALL, Kris’ performance of “Ain’t No Sunshine” was amazing.
A few other things to mention before I get ready for the American Idol final result show tonight:
- I saw Katie Holmes and Suri in the audience – that was neat.
- I did end up watching Glee all over again and it was FUNNIER the second time.
- I watched a little of Paula on HSN but I did not buy any of her jewelry (yet, ha!) It was 11:00 PM EST (!) when she got started and I was already tired from watching Real Housewives of NEW JERSEY.
WHO WILL WIN?? (Loving Adam's suit in this pic!)
