I think they got exactly what they wanted for the finale. I am personally grateful that it wasn't (isn't) a forgone conclusion. It's no fun if you don't have a doubt who is going to win.
I love the statistical tie. Both are worthy of a career. Both shall have one.
I really hope that Adam succeeds in the win because personally I see him as one of the most talented that the show has ever seen.
PLUS... I will not soon forget the people who were talking about him (in other languages no less) while I was in Amsterdam, Munich, Paris and Madrid in March. This spoke volumes to me.
Both artists remain true to the type of singer and person they really are. Adam just is so much more of a presence for me.
I think they wanted Danny/Adam, but I don't think they can be too upset with the way it has played out. To me -- a win at this point is only sort of significant. I mean, if it were me, of course I would want the crown. But -- if Adam has the fan base people say he has, then it won't go away even if he comes in second. If Kris comes in second, he'll still get a record deal and it will be good or not. If it's good . . . Last year I was really nervous that David A. was going to win (I can't really say why other than I didn't like him) -- this year either way is ok by me. I do disagree with E.D. that Kris is an Up With People type -- Danny yes, but I think Kris is more nuanced than that. And, finally, did I mention how awful Kara's song was?

What does "Up with People" mean?

If you never heard them, just remember the AI group songs and you'll have a pretty good idea. I don't think Kris falls into that category -- but perhaps E.D. means something else by that label.

[/quote] Up with People was definitely a group, as OhMy stated. It is a foundation to my reference. Happy, peppy, clean and homespun. A style that you could picture singing "I'd like to Teach the world to Sing" and a little "Kumbaya" (perhaps with a folkier statement while strumming that guitar.) That's how I have seen him from the beginning... but naturally not to the extreme by which I've just illustrated. A bit less but in the same vein.
