Predicting the Winner for American Idol 2009
I’ve been watching Twitter for the past few days tracking the contestants of American Idol. Based on what has been happening there, I would have to predict Adam Lambert as the next American Idol. Adam is mentioned at least twice as many times as Danny Gokey, and Kris Allen is getting up there in mentions as well. Now, I can’t say every post is positive, but it is obvious who is getting the press and attention.
Obviously if Adam Lambert is the winner, it will be an interesting challenge for producers to help him create an album that is mainstream enough, but he most likely would do very well.
BUT, I would rather than Danny Gokey be the next American Idol – as I think he truly connects to people on an emotional level and I like his “real-ness” and “humility.” I also love his voice and for sure will be buying his album when it comes out.
So review of tonight’s elimination.
Last night I predicted the bottom three to be Scott MacIntyre, Anoop Desai, and Lil Rounds.
The bottom three: Anoop Desai, Scott MacIntyre, and Lil Rounds. — Wow – 3 for 3.
I predicted Scott would be going home – it was close between Scott and Anoop (only 30,000 votes difference), but Scott ended up at the bottom and will be going home. The judges were split on whether or not to keep him around with the “save” but it came down to making a decision and Simon chose to make it the end of the competition. We all wish Scott luck in his future endeavors.

In a stunning upset Chris will win, because the producers see all those young record buyers going
crazy over Chris.
