Idol Talk: Upsetting Talk
by Vera H-C ChanMay 19, 2009
If a contest looks lopsided, then there's only one way to drag out the "American Idol" suspense: talk of upsets!
Adam Lambert rocks his rival in terms of online affection and sheer buzz. Kris Allen is no slouch, but he's got less than a third of the frontrunner's searches.
If any upsets are going to happen, they will have to be seen on performance night. And if the final two's chill attitude is to be believed, all the theories about home states, the Christian vote, and Katy Perry's plug don't matter compared to raw onstage talent. Besides, the "American Idol" 2009 tour tickets already went on sale May 9.
But really, the winner's already decided: Despite a dip, "American Idol" still holds onto the ratings crown.
