It just dawned on me that Adam is not going to win. Just keep in mind that the person with the most votes at the end may or may not win the finale. I strongly think that it is actually up to the producers to determine the 'most marketable' and 'versatile' performer and that may not be him. It's all about money. Just about everybody thinks that Adam will win. Great singer. Fantastic performer and very charismatic. He makes sure to give kudos to somebody involved with the show each weekend. However, he will not win. Just about every week, he rolls over everybody and to continue the spirit of 'competition' while keeping viewers watching you must throw in the unexpected. You must show the other competitors that there is always hope, no matter how good the performer is and to keep their hopes alive. You need to create controversy. THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT. Your winner? Adam and Danny are top 3 finalists, for sure. Watch out for that third person, who will probably finish number 2. It's all about entertainment, making money, keeping the viewer$ and $ponsor$ in the game. Maybe I am wrong. All said, Adam is truly the best.

American Idol 13 Finalists
Voting for Idol No. 13: The Call of the Wild. Back when Fox executives were high-fiving each other for deciding to turn "American Idol's" traditional top 12 finalists into the top 13 finalists -- to really shake things up on the singing competition -- no one thought to send a memo to the Senior Executive Vice President for Reality Series Viewer Voting Phone Number Checking. That is too bad, because then they might have found out earlier that 1-866-Idols13 is a porn number. I'll bet that a lot of people will now dial that number out of curiousity.
For all these Idolettes, the show continued to assign the traditional 1-866-IDOLS01 through 1-866-IDOLS12 phone numbers via which viewers got to vote. The 13th and final performer Alexis Grace got a distinct phone number. Click here to read more and Idol's Busy Circuits (from Feb, 2007)
ADAM LAMBERT gave another strong performance. Excellent. Lil Rounds did good also and it looks like they are the two best and I expect to see them in the finals. However, it looks like Danny recieved the most votes, or should we say the most busy signals on the phone. He was excellent. Scott, the blind performer is a front-runner also and look for these four contestants to be in the Final-5, along with a 'darkhorse' who improves down the stretch.
