Every year the song they pick for the winner to record is kind of cheesy and yuck. This year, I thought, maybe, when they said that Kara co-wrote it, it would be different. Nope. Yuck.
Not true. "A Moment Like This" sung by Kelly Clarkson as the winning song of season one went platinum. It spent two weeks as #1 on the billboard charts and it broke a long standing record held by the Beatles as the biggest one week mover on the charts. Amazingly, Kelly broke her own record this year when "My Life Would Suck Without You" went from #97 to #1 in one week.
Kelly probably still remains my favorite idol and is the reason I started watching the show. I remember when I first heard her on the show near the shows end in the first season and I was blown away with how she could belt out a song. Of course, the judges were drooling over Justin that season and look how well he's done.
Overall, I liked the idol singers this year, but I don't think any of them is going to be a superstar like Clarkson, Daughtry, Underwood or Hudson. Paula's drooling over Adam this year was nauseating. Adam may end up with a good theatrical career, but IMO he won't have any billboard chart success. I personally think Allison has the best voice and will be the most successful if she can find a good writer/producer to help her.

So, IF Adam loses, and IF Kris wins... will that be considered a major upset? In my book, no.
Want an example of how these posts can influence you while you're watching? Every time Paula opened her mouth to say her comments, I thought of her saying, "here are some crayon drawings that I made of you that I'm going to give to Simon, you look beautiful tonight!" and I'd start laughing. Once I even had to rewind to hear what she said because I missed it! Don thinks all of us are "a little off."
:hysterical:

What happened to her last night? Her hair wasn't right, one cheek was so flushed, and she looked glassier than usual even. Was she sick?
And I loved that Adam said to her, "You look beautiful tonight, by the way!" before she could tell HIM he looked beautiful tonight, by the way!
...Where are Ruben and Taylor Hicks?
Looked like she baked in a tanning salon for about 2 hours too long!
Or, she took those crayons and Crayola markers and used them to do her own make up this time around. :hysterical:
I like Paula because she is kind to all the contestants (and seems very good hearted and motherly to them in an honest sort of way), but her abuse of drugs and now sun tanning products has me wondering about her sanity sometimes.
