AI Seaon 8 Wrap up - The Confetti Shower goes to...

(This post is imported from my 'Couch Potato' TV blog - supertvlover.blogspot.com)

Kris Allen...
I'm bummed out about this. I had said previously I wouldn't mind if Kris won, but turns out I do. Adam should have won. And any appreciation i have for Kris is momentarily gone - he's the guy who by his own admission took what he did not deserve. But alas, I'll get over it.

Ok, things that make up for Adam's loss:

- The crappiest song ever made "No Boundaries" will NOT be on his Album - YAY!
- He does not ever have to sing the song that shit-for-brains-Kara-the-terrible-DioGuardi wrote, the aforementioned "No boundaries" (the Kara terms are proudly borrowed from TopIdol blog and EW recaps)
- Michael Slezak who is Entertainment Weekly's American Idol guru - bringing us recaps and Idolatry interviews and commentaries - will dye his hair Allison Fuchsia because Adam lost. Can't wait to see that!
- The American Idol title comes with some lame-ness that is associated with reality TV, so maybe Adam will get some street cred for being the season 8 reject.
- Now 19 entertainment will HAVE to sign Kris and will chose to sign Adam (they get priority for all contenders)
- Kris's loss for words when he was announced as the winner, the only thing he could muster was "Adam deserves this" - yes thank you Kris, we think so too!

Before i go out let me just put out here my predictions for each of the Top

13 - Jorge Nunes: Will fall off the face of the earth
12 - Jasmine Murray: Will fall off the face of the earth
11 - Alexis Grace: Will earn a decent living on Broadway or country music artists, despite wrecking Dolly Parton's beautiful Jolene - (i secretly hope I'm wrong and she becomes the new Carrie Underwood)
10 - Michael Sarver: Will earn a decent living as a country music artist
9 - Megan Joy: Could either fall off the face of the earth or get mediocre to reasonable success
8 - Scott Macintyre: Will be a successful song writer/musician but no solo career (and he knows it)
7 - Lil Rounds: Will be a failed gospel R&B has been
6 - Anoop 'Dawg' Desai: Will fall off the face of the earth - c'mon an Indian singer in Billboard's 100? When did that ever happen? The best he could do is take over the role of Kumar in the next Harold and Kumar movie and start a career in the movies
5 - Matt Giraud: After removing his famous forehead mole, he will have GRAND success! I love Giraud - he will be a STAR, and i will buy each of his albums which will be Gavin Degraw/The Frey-style fantastic and will go platinum at least! We'll be hearing a lot of his riffs in the future.
4 - Allison Irahita: Will be a good punk rocker (coz that's what's 'in' with the tweens nowadays) and will play in the league of Fall out Boy and Pink - but it'll take her a while to reach her peak
3 - Danny Gokey: Will have one album that's a total disaster, unless he duets with his old buddy from earlier this season Jamar, then he may make it!
2 - Adam Lambert: Will be an international SUPER STAR and will sell more than any American Idol contestant ever has, including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Daughtry
1 - Kris Allen: Will make a decent living out of his music but no big success story here

Other people I'd love to hear from:

- Normund Gentle: Have his own comedy show somewhere - I'll go see it
- Felicia Barton: Put out a good Album that is Alicia Key's style
- Jesse Langseth: Put out a good Album that has some sexy slow songs like her rendition of "tell me something good"
- Bikini Girl: Will get a much needed boob job and will move into the playboy mansion
