For those who haven't read any POTP American Idol posts this season, I want Adam Lambert to win! And because I want Glambert to win, I'm posting his videos and his videos only from last night's American Idol finale showdown.
I can count on one hand how many episodes I've actually sat through, and I was busy last night, but the internet is here to save us all! I was able to find 2 outta 3 of Glambert's performances last night. If I find the other - Adam Lambert's repeat performance of "Mad World" - I will post it. I also may post some Kris Allen videos too, but for now I wanna get all things Idol outta the way.
San Diego's Adam Lambert was his typical brilliant self while Arkansas' Kris Allen was his typical dull self. Both singers had to perform three songs. The 1st song was one they had already performed (Adam chose Mad World, Kris chose Ain't No Sunshine), the 2nd song was chosen by Idol producer Simon Fuller (Adam sung Change is Gonna Come, Kris sung What's Going On), and the 3rd song was the singer's debut single, "No Boundaries," a track co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi.
"No Boundaries" is one of the cheesiest, poorly written, verbal diarrhea lyrical arrangements that you will ever hear in your lifetime. Miley Cyrus wouldn't even degrade herself by singing this mess. Adam still worked it, he tried, but you can tell that he wanted to slap Kara while she blushed about her song.
Anyway, we all know who's gonna win this shit - Adam Lambert, b*tches! I wanna root for Kris, I do. I just don't think he has any chance of having any longevity in the music bizniss. So why not give it to the contestant who's most likely to make everyone's efforts - the audience, fans, show creators, producers, guyliner artists and jewelry vendors - worth it?
Also, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are in the audience; they have a quick cameo after Adam sings "Change is Gonna Come." Videos after the jump.

THANK YOU for posting these videos! I was watching the end of a thrilling down-to-the-wire Laker playoff game that was on simultaneously, so I only saw a few minutes of each performance on TV. But I thought Adam and Kris were neck-and-neck for parts of the night, however Adam will definitely become Idol champion tonight. So fucking predictable.

its really funny how many times the word theatrical was used during judges comments last night when talking to dumbert. this season has been predetermined from the outset, the corp folks at idol, and thereby ford and all the other sponsors decided that this washed up going nowhere broadway reject would be the next big thing and the mindless lemmings of America wouldnt complain. its amazing that you actually say he will have the longevity to be a 'pop star', for without the idol strength to prop him up he will be a memory not just overnight but instantly. this whole thing has diluted the entire idol premise to absurdity, to go out into the heartlands of America and find talent that wouldnt be found in any other way, not recycle losers from other forms of entertainment. if, as you say, he is so gifted as an artist he should have done it the right way, cut a demo, get a rep and have him shop it to record execs, oh wait that wouldnt work cause NOBODY would pick him up! his one and only shot is with the entire network and all its sponsors support, even then it may not be enough... last night on DWTS the one who was prophesied to win walked away empty handed...

After ‘Change Is Gonna Come’, it was over for me. Adam shut it DOWN! That was my favorite performance of the entire season. Amazing! Vocally, Adam is far superior to Kris, but I must give Kris props as well. He’s talented too. He surprised me. He is not a better singer than Adam, but he should be very proud of himself for a job well done with ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ and ‘What’s Going’ On. That said, Adam was my favorite from jump, so it’s Adam for the win!
