This season has been full of several ups and downs, but we have made it to the Nokia. And that means time for the debut of a craptastic coronation song–I can’t wait.

“Mad World” by Tears for Fears – Fabulous once again – I loved the rise from the stage and the smoke–all the drama I would come to expect! I still liked his Tracks of my Tears performance better, even though I knew he would choose this one. |
| 02. Kris Allen
|
|
“Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers – Another fabulous rendition of this song. I loved him at a huge grand piano rather than the keyboard where he originally performed this one. Also, I think Kris is actually becoming hotter and buffer week by week. Don’t think I don’t notice those arms, KA! |
| 03. Adam Lambert

 +1/2 |
“Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke – I mean, what can you even say? He is great. It was the perfect combination of controlled Screamy and emotional depth. I wouldn’t go as far as to call it his best performance like Paula and Kara, but it was certainly finale material. |
| 04. Kris Allen

“What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye – Simon Fuller is picking these big socially conscious songs for the kids tonight. I enjoy the sentiment, but I think I would have preferred choices that fit the voices a bit better. I would never have chosen Marvin GAye for Kris, and although I think he did what he could with it, and I enjoyed it, I can see why it wouldn’t grab people (i.e. Simon) Although I think Simon needed to throw his weight towards Adam after calling the first round for Kris – we have to keep things spicy, after all. |

“No Boundaries” written by Kara and friends – Something about getting through mountains and hurricanes to get to your dream. Really, Kara? These songs are always so bad! And sorry, but the performance was abysmal. He sounded off key, which is so out of character for him. Wow – not impressed with the song or the performance. |

“No Boundaries” written by Kara and friends – Way better than Adam – the song was catering to his type of voice moreso than Adam, and I think it showed. The song still sucks though. But was his jacket hot, or what? Part suit jacket, part military jacket – loved it! |
Carrie sings us out tonight with a sparkly mic.
Notice how their own choices were clearly the best songsof the night. The results tonight will really be a toss-up. I think that most of Danny’s voters will go to Kris, so he has a real shot of pulling this thing off, despite the judges still believing in Adam. Who do you think will win?
I will be coming at ya from Milwaukee tomorrow night, where I’m sure my mom and I will have many comments to make about all the finale has in store. I can’t wait for the medleys!
Now I am super pumped about this Glee show, so I will go and watch. Adios until tomorrow.
