<p>Since they said Kris’ name first, does that mean he had the most votes, or is it random who they have sit down first?</p>
<p>My bet is that it is random.</p>
<p>coronax… ryan did say that only 1 million votes separated the top 2</p>
<p>Thanks Millhouse! I’m glad you heard that too.</p>
<p>I think the order was random tonight too.</p>
<p>West coast here peeking at the results to make sure Adam is still in. So glad it is him and Kris. We are going back and forth between this and Lost. Katy Perry was really bad!</p>
<p>Got home way after midnight…called DH to record AI for me. Get home to find the modem crapped out (no internet), DH recorded the wrong channed (no AI) and I couldn’t find out KRIS was safe until just now!!<br>
Even though it’s raining here today, I am a happy gal!</p>
<p>Onward to the “ding dong”??? :)</p>
<p>someone explain to me why the emphasis during the hometown visits on Chris and his parents and not his wife…are they trying to appeal to teens/young women by downplaying his marital status???</p>
<p>^ I agree. Strange the way they almost tried to avoid showing her and he did not put his arm around her while riding in the parade car. I guess a living wife is a liability in the teenage voting?</p>
<p>Katy Perry was fun. That is her thing. She is enormously popular with the young people. I loved her cape. She must have let Adam know that she was a fan since he said “I want to see Katy Perry” when he was sitting on the couch and Ryan was talking to Danny about how Danny just wanted to know the results.<br>
I also heard Ryan say that “only” one million votes separated the top two. He did not say what order the results were given in. But I think they like to torture Adam. It should be a good final. Who knows how the votes will break. Last season I was sure Archuletta would win the vote (although I was a Cooke fan), and look what happened. I look forward to seeing who Adam will get to sing with if they do what they have done in the past.</p>
<p>I wondered that, too, Cathy. The whole homecoming scene at what I assumed was his parents’ house (do he and his wife live there, too??) was a little overdone. It’s not like he hasn’t seen them for months. They’ve been in the audience every week! They’ve downplayed his wife all season, including Simon’s comment weeks ago that Kris probably shouldn’t have ‘brought the wife out so early’.</p>
<p>I like Katy Perry too and thought the presentation was good. She just couldn’t carry a tune. I had heard that she doesn’t sound great live. So many popular performers only sound good in the studio - I guess she is just one more in the ranks.</p>
<p>I thought it tacky that Kate had Adam’s name on her cape. </p>
<p>I read this morning that Kris won the coin toss for next week and chose to have Adam perform first (meaning Kris will perform last…)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I suspect. I remember reading an article about Tom Jones’ early career. He was married at 17 and during his peak “throw the panties” phase, his handlers tried to ensure that his wife was unseen, unheard and unknown. Although Tom Jones is still married to the same woman (52 years!), he was pretty much a cheatin’ rat most of that time. I hope Kris treats his wife better when he hits the big time.</p>
<p>(By the way, please tell me I’m not totally dating myself by bringing up Tom Jones…)</p>
<p>I don’t see it as him treating her poorly - if she is savvy about the business, she understands completely. I would feel that way if I were her - I’d gladly step back if that would help him (us) win.</p>
<p>^ Oh, I agree. I’m sure Kris’ wife is quite willing to lay low if it helps him win, and I understand that. I meant I hope he doesn’t stray later–like so many celebrities do–as the temptations become more and more plentiful.</p>
<p>Here’s Adam’s studio version of “One”. It’s beautiful. Enjoy folks!</p>

<p>I see - that would be a shame. No doubt, Kris’ life will change far more dramatically than Adam’s.</p>
<p>I love Katy Perry. My boys think it odd how much I love, “I Kissed a Girl.” But she sounded horrid last night. And I didn’t notice the name on the cape, but I’m amused thinking how he’ll never sing her aforementioned song! 
Couldn’t resist.</p>
<p>I came in so late that Adam’s hometown visit is the only one I saw. Will have to find Kris’ online.</p>
<p>I do think that Katy Perry is a fun performer, but she did not sound good last night. It is really amazing how many singers do not sound good live! When we went to AI last year we were absolutely amazed how good all the contestants sounded.</p>
<p>If you watch Idol at all, search out Sir Bitter on youtube for one of the funniest recaps ever. There is no sound, just pictures & captions. He has them for the top 13 to present. Hysterical.</p>
