Oh Sweet Irony on American Idol

Picture this:

You are standing on in the middle of a stage. The lights are dimmed and your mind is going crazy just wondering where your fate lies. You bite your lip and put in your final prayers that you will not be sent home. Ryan looks at your amigo and says: "Kris, you are safe, you will be competing in the finals."

Your heart just sank a little because the only other person on that stage beside you and Ryan, is Adam. Adam... the man whom the judges have been saying for weeks is the clear winner. You bite back your emotion as you wait in agony to see if you will be moved on.

I'm sorry Danny, your ride ends here. You are going home.

Everyone believed that the final battle would be between Danny and Adam. I wonder how Kris felt when he looked out at the judges and saw Cara saying: "Oh My God."
She never expected Kris to make it. She was not the only person obviously who showed their disdain.

If you look at the overall performances and what is lacking for both Danny and Kris; you will find that Kris has a voice that to many people, will be easier to listen to. Not everyone can take that scratchy voice of Danny's. I am one of those people. Danny was very positive and a bit silly, Kris was very straight forward and down to Earth. Kris however will most likely be able to relax more and put on a better performance when he is not under Simon's every scrutiny. In the long run I think that Kris will go further and be more marketable than Danny because I get the idea that Danny is very set in his Christian Rock ways.

I'm sorry Danny; all is not lost for you, someone will definitely scoop you up and give you the deal of a lifetime.

Congrats Kris; though beating Adam will not be easy to do, you have put up an admirable fight. No one in this competition is a loser. Everyone should be able to see that compared to past seasons, this group had the most talent.
