The Sleeper Comes Through!

Kim Reis

Idol results last night - bringing us down the final TWO.  Three songs each.  Rather long and drawn out (like all of the reality TV shows when they get down to the last couple of weeks).  Why do they feel the need to do 2 and 3 hours for a show like this??  When there were 8 contestants, it was a quick 60 minutes and done.  Now there are 3 contestants and it has to be 10 billion hours long.  WHY? WHY? 

On April 9th - I predicted the final 4.  Click here for Kim’s past prediction.  Well, actually - I picked three of the four.  Danny, Adam, Allison and ______________.  I just COULD NOT decide on that fourth character.  Kris - my little sleeper - was barely on my radar.  He was flying low and his meek, quiet style made me call him “The Sleeper”.  He didn’t make say WOW - but he didn’t make me wrinkle my nose and say EWWW either.  The only term I could think of was “Sleeper”.  Well, he did it.  He’s in the final two with Adam Lambert.  Danny had a real shot, but I think he got cocky and even a little lazy toward the end.  Adam has stayed completely focused with his eye on the prize the entire time.

I think Adam will win by a landslide next week.  The ratings for Idol have been down significantly (13 I think compared to previous years of 20).  And I don’t think this match-up will bring in the viewers.  I think America already knows the winner because Adam is THAT strong compared to my lil bud Kris.  Kris will have a teeny-bopper following and I think he’ll be just fine in this world.  Adam will rock it out and, if he keeps his head on straight, hopefully he won’t end up on Dr. Drew’s Rehab shows.  Hollywood can sometimes bring people to their knees.  I also hope that Adam refrains from the shreeking.  I mean, sometimes he shreeks so loud that the cat leaves the room.  He hits the right notes - but it’s such a high piercing sound sometimes.

Anyway - ADAM & KRIS duke it out next week for Idol’s season finale!!!  The rocker and the sleeper.
