I cannot believe that tonight is the semi-finals of American Idol season 8, and this is my first entry on the competition!! I have totally neglected this blog, a shame, really.
So Simon Cowell is predicting an Adam Lambert victory for title of Idol. Simon could very well be right because Adam has been very consistent with his performances.
Personally, if Kris Allen manages to give the performance of his life and wins a spot in the finale, I will be disappointed. Disappointed not because he succeeded, but disappointed that Kris’ success means Danny Gokey’s loss. It is a given that Adam Lambert will make it to the finale.
I am, however, rooting for Danny Gokey. It is unfortunate that he chose that particular song with that lousy scream at the end, which I believe, nearly cost him this week’s spot in the semi-finals.
One of the things that contestants need to get through their heads early in the competition is that the right song choice means you get to move on to the next stage or it’s sayonara for you. Adam Lambert has been the smartest when it comes to selecting a song to sing. His songs have always show-cased his showmanship and his ability to sing those high notes. Except for that horrible new age-y style music he sang during country week, his choice has always be spot on.
I look forward to the semi-finals tonight, and will give a short update of tonight’s show later on.
