Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen - Who Will Win American Idol 2009?

Tonight is the night American Idol fans have been waiting for all season! Tonight, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen fight it out to see which finalist is worthy of the coveted title of American Idol winner 2009. But who has what it takes to take home gold?

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Adam took the crown tonight with all of the built up hype from the judges throughout this season, but there's no denying that Kris Allen has come out of nowhere these last few weeks - even impressing the coldest of judges, Mr. Simon Cowell.

Both of these guys are extremely talented and clearly have their own styles that fly well with the many viewers.

               Kris Allen/ Adam Lambert 

Last night, in a final attempt to win over the judges and the viewers, Adam Lambert sang Sam Cook's "A Change is Gonna Come," picked by "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller.

Kara and Paula said, it may have been his best performance of the year. Making the songs your own is a bit of a hit with the judges and that is what Adam tends to do, which could help him secure the title tonight.

Kris Allen sang "Ain't No Sunshine," and wooed the crowd with his soulful vocals and even received praise from Cowell.

And so the question remains, who is more deserving of this year's title? 

I say let it be a tie! Why not mix things up and have two idols for a change?

Personally, I'm getting a little sick of the same old, mundane American Idol, season after season. The only shocking news I can report to you is Simon Cowell flashing his hairy chest on last night’s show - so hot. It appears he had forgotten to button up his shirt - or he realized that ratings were down and thought he'd show a bit of skin to spark media interest this morning? hmmm, either way, it was the highlight of the show.

The question now is who should win American Idol 2009 - the soulful, serene Kris Allen or the theatrical, flamboyant Adam Lambert?

My decision is still up in the air and could go either way, what about yours?

ADAM LAMBERT IS THE BEST!!! I LOVE ADAM. IF AMERICA HASN'T

CHOSEN LAMBERT, I WILL NEVER WATCH IDOL AGAIN. THEY SHOULD HAVE

A BETTER WAY OF VOTING, NOT LET TEENYBOPPERS HAVE THE FINAL SAY.THEY DON'T KNOW TALENT, THEY ARE JUST LOOKING AT WHO IS

THE CUTEST...  ADAM DESERVES THE TITLE. IN MY BOOK, HE ALREADY

HAS IT.

I am soooo pushing for Kris. Adam to me is wayyyyy too theatrical. He belongs on broadway. I personally could not imagine listening to a full 18 track cd with him screaming and blaring that high pitched tone over the speaker the whole time. GO KRIS GO!!!

ADAM LAMBERT SHOULD BE THE WINNER, HE IS INCREDIBLE!!!

ADAM IS SO GRACIOUS AND KIND, HE IS THE PERFECT AMERICAN IDOL.

cpearl said:

for above comment, written by myself, I didn't mean that Kris was the

nicer looking at all, I meant he probably appeals to younger girls, to me

Adam has the whole package, looks, voice and graciousness, also wonderful

stage presence. We love Adam!

Kris is my vote!! I would listen to his CD just like I would of listened to David Cooks and actually do ....Adam is broadway all the way and should STAY THERE!

May 20, 2009 10:12 AM
 

Mike said:

GO Kris GO ..i think Kris should WIN  because Adam only has one style,  screaming in every song .... who wants to listen to him scream on an entrire album ..not me ..Kris is a true singer and deserves to win

fp said:

Adam, Adam, Adam...  Chris is awesome yet Adam is the real deal!  Listen to a full CD...  Yes...  I'll listen to a 10 stack of only his CD's!  He's an amazing artist...

This show is nothing but a bunch of pansies...put some real music on...System of a Down should jump on stage and beat the crap out of these pretty boy wankers, now that would be entertainment!!!

pearl c said:

Did you not hear Adam sing "Mad World", was he screaming then? No

he wasn't, he was just showing his mad, amazing talent!!! Everyone who is

saying all he does is scream are so very narrow minded. HE IS AMAZING!!!!

Adam got my vote 65 times.

May 20, 2009 11:01 AM
 

krisallen said:

well if you got through 65 times....then maybe you were the only one voting for him. he belongs on broadway...that's about it.

May 20, 2009 11:54 AM
 

p gore said:

Adam does not scream through every song, Did you not hear "Mad World",

that shows he has real talent. He can sing anything and he surely beat

Kris on the song Kara co-wrote. Kris did horrible on that one!

OriginalCaliGirl said:

OK....So Adam has the obvious better voice and you can see he has been on a stage most of his life....and from what I've read had a record deal that fell through......So with that being said....American Idol is about discovering "New" talent.....Chris is new and fresh....To me Adam is a side show, he is almost exhausting to watch. Beautiful voice suited for 80's metal and or Broadway....We all know pop rock is not for the "best" singers but who has the broadest appeal....I think Chris has the overall mass appeal and will sell more CD's...I would go watch Adam on Broadway though.....I think he would be brilliant there!

This is a singing competition.  The judges have so tried to explain that over and over again to the Voters!  Adam has pipes and a voice that is Out of This League.  We have not seen this kind of talent since Idol started.  Carrie Underwood ranks right up there with Adam.  Theatrical?  Why not.  With that kind of experience, its just going to take him even further.  Anyone with a sense of artistry for music can clearly see what Adam has to offer.

You have to ask yourself, if Adam/Chris was performing a concert would you be sitting there and listening to a nice voice; Or would you be there listening to a great voice with entertainment to boot!  I can tell you it would never be boring and it would move you.

What is your opinion of the song Kara wrote. I thought it did a disservice to both Kris and Adam

TNX said:

I think Adam has a lot more presence, style.. and a stronger set of lungs.... HOWEVER, I think if I saw both albums right next to each other, id pick up KRIS'S coz its much more soothing, versatile. I like the whole guitar/piano thing style he does to some of his songs, really soothing, soulful, n def something ill be able to listen to at any time. As for ADAMS style, It wd be a once in a while I'd on it kind of thing....

I have been reading about Adam having a record deal and it fell thru. I agree American Idol should be for those that are new and have had not record deals.I Like Adam but I do agree his voice would be best on Broadway. I love Kris' voice and I actually got chills over "Ain't No Sunshine". Both are very talented. I think it has effected my judgement on how the judges have all but handed Adam the title, it's gotten a little sicking, but the last song was awful for both of them. Kara remarked that she knew it was too high for Kris in that key, why put it there then. The song sucked for both. I feel everyone needs to remember, the second song and last song was picked for the both of them. I wish AI would let the last two picks their own material.

Foxy said:

Kris has my vote all the way. Adam does scream all the time ok except for one, count that ONE song. I agree he does belong on broadway. I deff. agree with Randy, when I listen to Kris I can tell what kind of artist hes going to be. Both are very good looking but I think Kris's smile wins me over Adam's bedroom eyes.

Adam has put new life in American Idol and win or lose, he will be a force in the music industry.  Mega-talented and also a sweet guy.   For those who think Adam is just for Broadway, are they serious?  He's a rocker more than anything else, although he can sing virtually any kind of song, from hard rock to a sweet ballad.  The judges have said on numerous occasions that he can sing anything and I agree.

Adam i voted for him the whole 4 hours! he is the best! he will sell more cds and he has a beter vocie then kris i think kris is going to do country witch no one realy like country and adam will do a rockish pop genre and adam will win the title! Btw ADAM!

lala said:

adam is not that good. all he does is scream and annoy the crap out of me. and really, he is not rock and rool, he just puts on a show in a SINGING competition! if you want a preformer then it is adam, but we are not looking for a preformer. i am for kris all the way because he is more marketable these days and can sing the all popular pop. adam is not very marketable because all he can sing is rock, kinda, and thats it. so when ever you all vote him, he will be just like half of the american idols. start off ok, then nothing. so lets go kris!!!!!

May 20, 2009 6:28 PM
 

lala said:

oh and the song they both sang at the end was terrible. they both did pretty good considering that song stunk

Kris Kris Kris said:

Kris is def. the better choice...Adam belongs on broadway...he has a a fantastic voice, but come on people another punk rocker with black fingernails??  nah...Kris has it all, the cute boy look, the great voice...GO KRIS GO!

Cherie said:

Adam Lambert is brilliant. Who ever says he screams all the time is nuts. He has sang many slow songs. He can sing anything. Chris is limited in his vocal range and simply boring. Who will remember Chris's performances. Wake up people and vote for the most consistent and talented performer.  

May 20, 2009 6:46 PM
 

Packy said:

Since it's a singing competition and Idol is looking for new talent, you gotta give it to Adam. He can make EVERY song his own and could sing any song in the world (except that horrid excuse of a song that Kara helped to co-write).  He is 1000000000% original. There's no one like him. Kris is good, don't get me wrong, and his version of Kanye West's 'Heartless' was amazinggg, but I think we've already seen enough of the whole acoustic, touchy, sentimental voices in the crowd who always seem to try to go for the high note even though they can't hit it.  Based on originality, sheer talent, and performances, it's gotta be Adam (not that it necessarily will be).  If you're telling me you wouldn't go see Adam as the lead singer of a rock band, you're out of your mind.

KRIS ALLEN ALL THE WAY! HE IS A TRUE SINGER. NOT SCREAMING AND HANGING HIS TONGUE OUT. ADAM NEEDS TO BE AN ACTOR OR ON BROADWAY OR SOMETHING. KRIS HAS MY VOTE 100%!!!!

If you woke up this morning asking yourself "Who Won American Idol 2009?" once again you might be shocked

Hi said:

seriously just 4 weeks ago when I started to watch this year's American Idol

Kris and Adam are both talented have their own style and personality but really during the showdown and in the previous performances Kris doesn't even level to Adam's voice stage presence and performance Kris just doesn't have that "WOW" or "STAR" factor.....SORRY!!? Even Kris said, "I don't know what to say, Adam deserved to win." Well said Kris, well said.......I rest my case.

i think Adam is best than Kris and i shock Kris is american idol he is boring...........

I'm shocked that Kris won..but i am still supporting Adam

Mar said:

Very disappointing end results tonight.  But it is probably better for Adam to go out there and start making money which will be ALL his own and not under American Idol.  We will definitely see more of him in the very near future.  Kris' voice is weak, but his style is what the teens like, that is why he won.  Adam's singing voice was 10x better than Kris (no high notes at all) Adam is VERY talented and we are sick and tired of no Rockers winning.  If Simon Cowell leaves the show, we will never watch it again.  He says it like it is.

I now know that American Idol is rigged and someone should investigate their voting process. AI you are dead to us and we will never watch again or anything else entertainment 19 endorses. I felt that Kris is no where near Adam and he was voted clear winner in every online poll so what happened? If there was an illegal voting scam then AI should have done something about it. We will not be coming to the shows but will wait til Adam does his own thing. Again, Someone ought to seriously investigate AI. There is a serious problem there. Adam saved the ratings of this dying show. Well I hope it goes belly up now. Well done AI on ripping off another well deserving performer. Won't be watching ever again. ADAM YOU ARE A STAR WE LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE THE TRUE IDOL!!!!~

Yvonne said:

oh yeah, in reference to the dialing scam - KRIS ALLEN = CHEATER, He always will be a cheater to us.

May 21, 2009 3:13 AM
 

Kenna said:

He is not a cheater! How do you know he is? Theres no possible way to cheat on American Idol.

Oh! Plus Yvonne, Kris won!

Wut now  sour puss?

MB said:

Yvonne,

Adam may have been the clear winner in every online poll...  Take into consideration that there are a lot of people out there that vote when it counts...after the performances each Tuesday night...not on some online poll that proves nothing.  What is this illegal voting scandal you're referring to?  Do you have anything to back this up?  How did Kris cheat.  Did he himself pay off the adjudicators from Telescope to change the results?  I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.  Please explain...

I loved Adam and Kris!  I voted all season long, but I didn't even vote after the finale because I honestly didn't care who won!  They're both great guys.  Sure would be nice if everyone could just be happy for them both!
