So we lost Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai this week on American Idol. I was actually out of town and unable to watch or review the show until after the results were announced.

Can anyone say they were surprised by the 2 eliminated this week?

I have also been watching trends on both Twitter and iTunes, and I have to say my prediction about the next American Idol winner has changed. I predict Adam Lambert will be the winner hands down. Although I personally will not be rushing out to buy his album, if downloads on iTunes are any indication, he has a load of fans out there who will. I just can’t get past his “stage persona” yet – he’s such a seasoned performer, it’s difficult to relate to him as a person. As the weeks have gone on – I have to admit that I really do not like his voice that much. On top of that – seeing him sticking out his tongue to hit the high notes is not a pretty sight, even though he is a very cute guy. Obviously I can’t say he’s not talented. He is. Just not my taste at all.

I still prefer the voice, tambre and personality of Danny Gokey. I like Kris Allen as well and think even if they don’t win, they will have big careers in the music industry.

Just my two cents for this week….

Oh — and I was pleased to see our little David Archeleta’s performance. I love his voice – and he’s so cute you just want to pick him up and give him a hug. It will be fun to see if he can bridge the gap from cute and amazing kid into amazing seasoned performer. I think he has it in him. Go David go!
