The Show Where America Decides

Yes, America has decided who they want to be their President last November! Now, America has to decide again who they want to be the next American Idol. Is it Adam Lambert or Kris Allen? The power is in your hands Americans, vote wisely. So, The Youth Generation Entertainment Desk have prepared the followings from the sources of The Sun.
Adam Lambert often reminds this article writer of The Sun of what a love child by Freddy Mercury and Joan Jett would look like. This highly-stylised singer can rock it with the best of them and still deliver on ballads.
Ok, the finals, which have been telecast live & primetime encore via satellite from Nokia Theatre few hours ago , have seen both Adam & Kris receiving mixed comments for both of their song performance. The first song which is producer's choice saw Kris getting more positive comments than Adam, witn Simon Cowell (our favourite judge aka criticiser) saying that Adam is too over with his performance. Meanwhile, on the second song which is their own choice, saw both of them receiving mixed comments from all the judges. Simon Cowell said that "I didn't knew if America voted for the correct people, but after watching Kris's 2nd performance, I retract it back".
Before we sum up,this posting, here are a SW anaylsis of Adam Lambert & Kris Allen chance of winning the American Idol 2009 in an all-man showdown after last year's David Cook Vs David Archuleta
KRIS ALLEN
Strengths
» He is like a slow burner, starting to become a real
contender only later in the competition.
» Excellent at rearranging music to suit him, the acoustic versions of She Works Hard For Her Money and Cold Hearted being good examples.
» Has a very likeable and humble demeanour which makes him more identifiable to audiences.
» By being deemed a dark horse, he has the advantage of surprising everyone each week. » Has a strong fan base, thanks to his talent and good looks.
» Not that over-hyped so he can still spring a few surprises and steal the crown.
Weaknesses
» Too low key in his performances and has yet to really upstage Lambert.
» Still flying under the radar and will only win if he can project himself more forcefully.
» Very limited range in terms of vocals and type of music genres.
ADAM LAMBERT
Strengths » Can sing any type of music genres and even manage
to put his signature to the songs.
» Can hit the high notes and the low tones with equal élan.
» Memorable even when mangling Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire.
» Able to pick the right songs with good arrangement to suit his style of singing.
» Surprised and amazed audiences and judges with his subtle but impactful performances of Tracks of My Years and Mad World.
» Practically crowned the winner by Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul.
Weaknesses
» Too much hype.
» Many feel he is too over-the-top.
» Tends to become theatrical during his performance which only works well in rock numbers or R&B songs.
