Adam Lambert and Kris Allen

I have sources with intimate knowledge of the show and the results are in.  The winner of American Idol is… Adam Lambert! These sources initially only agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity.  I have the utmost respect for my sources, but in this case I’ll reveal their identity.  The sources telling me the winner of American Idol? … My ears.  It will be a sham if Adam Lambert doesn’t win.  There are questions (asked & answered) about his sexual orientation and that may ultimately be what that keeps him from winning American Idol in 2009.  Kris Allen is good but he’s nowhere near the talent level of Adam Lambert (or even Allison Iraheta or Danny Gokey).

During the final performance show, the contestants were both asked to perform a song written by Kara Dioguardi.  My sources tell me this song was terrible and I sincerely hope they don’t plan on releasing that as a single.  The lyrics were embarassingly bad/cliche.  Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell managed to bite their tongue and not bash the song.  Luckily, Adam Lambert also performed Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke and the Gary Jules version of Mad World (one of my favorites, the original Tears for Fears version.. not so much).  These two performances sealed it.  Congratulations to the next American Idol (pending  actual proof), Adam Lambert!
