Since I moved back to my parent’s house nearly a month ago (to have someone oversee me while I’m waiting for my firstborn’s delivery and now while I’m recovering) I have not been getting myself updated with the American Idol season 8 hopefuls. The last episode I’ve seen was when Scott MacIntyre got eliminated.

Like many other avid viewers I have my own favorite, and that is Adam Lambert. I’ve been rooting for him since the beginning of the season. I’ve not seen his audition piece until he got into the final 12 though but thanks to Youtube for easily giving me access of the show’s episodes!

Today as I look into American Idol official website, I was surprised to find out that one of the crowd’s favorite since the season started, Danny Gokey, got eliminated, leaving Adam Lambert and Kris Allen competing for the next to be hailed as the newest Idol.

Who's Going to Be the Next Idol?

I’ve nothing against Kris Allen. In fact, I think he’s got the talent, plus the good looks to make him a sought-after artist. I just thought that it’s gonna be a battle between Gokey and Lambert in the end. After all, they almost always get the nicest feedback from the 4 Idol judges.

Nevertheless, the season’s not yet over until the winner is announced. While I did not catch the previous episodes, I’d be looking forward for the season’s finale. Who knows what other surprises awaits me and everyone else who religiously watch the show. My heart still goes for Adam, just like as it was with David Cook!
