I loved the American Idol Finale last night - even the end!
Not to say that I wasn’t a bit surprised that Adam didn’t win, because I truly thought he way outsang everyone else and proved it again and again last night as he carried the show.
But, in the end Chris won and now gets to record that “wonderful” song.
I also loved that Adam got to show how easily he could take the legendary reins of Freddy Mercury and be an amazing lead singer for a band like Queen. (Or even Queen itself)
They will both have great careers, as will some of the others from this year’s show, but Adam will become an iconic star - mark my words!
And here are Adam’s words in his post-show interview.
I love his grace and wisdom.

My dream now is to make a really dope record, to do something new, push the boundaries a little bit, push people’s buttons, open people’s minds up a little bit. And you know what’s really, really cool about Kris being in the finals tonight? We are seemingly so different, but we found a way to get along and find a common bond — mostly through music, but also just through talking and getting to know each other. And if there’s anything that could come from this experience that I hope all the fans out there can pick up is that even if you’re really different, there’s a way to get along with each other. It’s not about, “Oh, you beat me because of this” or “You’re different.” It’s about finding the common stuff that makes it work. We got up there and did the Queen duet, and we made it work, because we found a common ground with each other. Q: Did you have a strategy going into the competition?A: Yeah, my strategy was just to show all different sides. And also, there’s a very fine line between giving the audience what they wanted, and also me trying to introduce stuff they didn’t know they wanted.

Cheers!
