Update: Kris Allen was named the 2009 American Idol.

Even though I have been an Adam Lambert fan all season, the outcome does not upset me. I think Adam is better off. He has the freedom to do the kind of glam rock he should. After seeing him perform with a medley with Kiss and "We Are The Champions" with Queen, there is no doubt in my mind he put out a hell of a rock album (and put on a wild rock show).

For Kris, there's mainstream rock radio just waiting to play that awful "No Boundaries" song. I feel bad for the guy ... let's hope all the negative feedback on the song sends the producers back to the studio for take 2 so Kris can put out a better first single. At least he's bound for better songs on the rest of his album. He is obviously a good musician.

And with that, I'm off on vacation. See you in a couple weeks.

Original: The only thing that sticks out about the "American Idol" final showdown Tuesday night is how SUCKY that final song was (co-written by judge Kara).

I thought the reason I hated (either version) of the song, "No Boundaries," was because I watched the show at 12:30 a.m., after the No Doubt concert, and was a bit tired. Then, this morning, I listened again. Yikes! It was worse than I thought. It makes me want to gag.

It's a shame that season filled with interesting contestants, who seem to have so much more musical talent than singers in past years, get stuck singing (and having to release as a first single) one of the worst songs EVER in the history of this show. I bet Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and David Cook are thanking their lucky stars they didn't get stuck with such a dud.

I actually think the person who loses tonight gets off with a better deal -- not having to release that crappy song. I'm actually rooting for my favorite, Adam Lambert, not to win.

To me, the show overall was a let down. It really didn't change any minds. Adam fans remained fans (though, I thought he was subdued last night and wanted to see a more flamboyant performance); and Kris Allen fans got a good dose of the soft contemporary rocker (I thought he performed the best he had all season). In the end, it felt like a tie. Kris winning round 1, Adam round 2. We will just forget that horrible last song they both were subjected to singing.

What did you think? Any predictions for tonight?
