American Idol Upset!!!!

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit! Who would have thought that Danny Gokey would not be one of the final two standing on American Idol. For weeks people have been saying Kris Allen was a dark horse, but I just never saw him as a contender. I picked him and Matt to finish 3rd and 4th. And to only be separated by 1 million votes between him and Adam. I mean, a million is a lot...but not in American Idols scheme of things. That's just a little two close for comfort. But I really expected it, along with almost everyone else, to be Gokey -vs- Lambert.

See Ya, Danny!

Danny's interview after Idol was nice. (though Paula was bawling in the background) It was only then that he was able to talk freely about his late wife. He said it was a bit of a relief to be voted off. He wasn't able to talk about his wife during Idol because of all the slack he got in the media & blogs because people accused him of using his story to win sympathy votes. It was really sad to see him talk about his wife, and that he went from sitting next to his wife's casket wishing he was dead to 10 months later singing on the Idol stage. I really wish him luck. Normally I'm not sad to see the Idol contestants go, as long as they aren't the horse I'm backing. I'm the type of person who usually loves to see people cry because their dreams have just been crushed. (*wink -- kidding...kind of) But I really wanted 2nd place for Danny. Though, he's gonna have a huge career even finishing 3rd. It's still 3rd place out of like 100,000. Nothing to sneeze at.

Ok, so it's Adam and Kris in the final two. This might actually be a good thing for Adam. Might have been harder to beat Gokey than it will (thinking positive) to beat Kris. We just have to hope that Gokey's peeps toss their votes towards Adam. I hope they see it as Kris took Danny's spot, since everyone was saying Adam was a shoe in anyway. I hear that voting is 4 hours next week. Seriously, I'll have a blister on my finger come Wednesday, because I will vote the entire time.

So, Rock on all you Adam fans and you'd better fucking vote next Tuesday!
