Tonight is being billed as American Idol’s Heavyweight Championship match (as Simon Cowell calls it The Big Ding Dong) and probably the greatest American Idol finale ever since the Reuben Studdard Clay Aiken matchup. This is the Super Bowl of singing contests. This is American Idol’s version of The Thrilla in Manila. I can tell you this much … the fans are organized. Why? Because we have two talented and distinctly different artists to ever grace the American Idol stage. OK so one is gay and one is Christian which is a subject that the media seems to want to stir up. What we want to know is will there be a knockout or will it be a split decision that can only be broken by the voting audience.

In this corner we have Adam Lambert … affectionately known as Glambert because of his black nail polish, blue black hair, mascara and theatrical style. Whether one is a die hard Adam fan or not, it’s hard to deny that we look forward to seeing what Adam will do next. Tonight Adam will reprise his earlier version of “Mad World” (with a twist). Another song will be selected by Ken Warwick, the producer of American Idol and the coronation song called “No Boundaries” co written by judge Kara DioGuardi will also be performed. Adam never ceases to amaze us. No one can top him when it comes to vocals., but what will he bring to his performances tonight to lock in a win?

In the other corner we have Kris Allen … the smooth, understated but powerful artist who has given us his own arrangements of songs such as Kanye West’s “Heartless” and his heartfelt version of the recent Academy Award winning song “Falling Slowly”. Will Kris reprise either one of these songs tonight or will he take this opportunity to suprise us with something new? A spoiler posted at http://mjsbigblog.com/ says that Kris will reprise “Aint No Sunshine”. Kris will also be given a song selection from Ken Warwick and will sing his own arrangement of the same coronation song given to Adam. Kris can’t compete with Adam when it comes to vocals, but neither could  Bob Dylan if he were competing against Adam Lambert.  What can Kris do tonight that will give him the winning edge? Can Kris can pull off another “Heartless” type performance to lock in a win?

Adam Lambert might very well be crowned the first gay American Idol. Even Foxes Bill O’Reilly The Factor is talking about it which we don’t mind, but come on Bill, did you have to show the Internet photos of Adam for sensational value? You’ve got the number one ratings on Cable already. A regular photo of both Adam and Kris would have been more appropriate.

Many believe that the Christian vote will play a large role in tonight’s victory along with the young pre teen and teenage girls who are among idols strongest voters. Kris Allen seems to have the edge on this one. These are the voters that helped crown past Idol winners Fantasia Barrino, Reuben Studdard and Carrie Underwood.

However, Adam Lambert possesses that Superstar quality that doesn’t come around that often in one’s lifetime. Adam has a huge fan base and seems to be ahead in the polls at http://votenumber1.com/voteamericanidol.html. VoteNumberOne claims to have predicted the winner of American Idol each season with 90% accuracy.

So who will be the winner of American Idol tonight? Who will the voting audience choose? I think right now it is too close to call.
