At this point, I actually think it's going to be Kris and not Danny going up against Adam in the final. The cute wholesome guy vs. the taboo bad boy.

They always have a nicey nice song that they have to sing during the finals for their first single release and I think Kris and Danny are better suited for that.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 At this point, as Daughtry proved, any of the top four have enough exposure, and enough of a built-in fan base (which is what labels really care about) to get a record deal. After that, what matters is if they put out a good record and if the fans respond. Allison will surely get a deal. The fact that she's so young (and will remain young for a long time) means she'll probably have SEVERAL suitors, and good for her, I say. I really enjoyed her. Other than getting that never-has-failed-to-go-number-one initial single out of the show, winning the whole thing has not proven to necessarily lead to more success after the show ends. But still, it's fun to speculate who it's going to be. The edgier Adam, the more middle of the road Danny, or "the cute one."
Originally Posted By disneylandfan8 I was very disappointed that Allison left last night. I was thinking Danny and Kris will cancel each other out and that woulda left Adam and Allison in the top 2. Oh well... GLAMBERT ON EVERYONE! Will it be next week when they'll do two songs? One they pick and one the judges will pick? The original song won't be until the final two are decided. I have no fear Adam will be able to step up to the plate for that one either.

Are the watchers'/voters' battle-lines already drawn?
Originally Posted By trekkeruss There is a percentage of people who watch all season, but don't vote until the last few shows, or even only for the finale. I know I've done this in the past. Probably not enough voters like that to make a difference though.

And with the top 3 they used to let them do THREE each (one self-chosen, one judge-chosen, one mentor-chosen, like Clive Davis one year). But this year, once they went down to the one hour format, they've stayed there, thus making 2 songs each impossible until final 3. (They each sort of got 1 1/2 songs last week with the duets). Lame. Too much filler, too much 4-judge prattling on, not enough actual singing. And then they insist on a full hour for the results show. I hope next season they realize this was a failed experiment. More singing!
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD That 4th judge really has cut into the singing time. This year, I like all three of these so the only thing that will really motivate me to vote is if they give a performance that really blows the other one away and I think they really deserve it.
