This thread will contain real time SPOILERS! If you don't want to know what happens please read the thread after the show premiers in your area. All discussion related to the show should be contained in this thread so as not to ruin surprises for the different time zones.

The parties will start when the show starts at 8:00 PM Eastern time.

1: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You are allowed to discuss opinions in a reasonable manner but you can not attack someone if they like or dislike a particular contestant.  Please respect your fellow posters.

2: There will be no personal bashing of any contestant. You can say you don't like the contestant for their performances or because you just don't like their personality but please do not personally attack the person. No name calling will be tolerated.

3: Please do not post pictures in the thread.  Some people still have dial up and the speed of the thread is impacted with the number of pictures posted. In other words, it takes a long time for their thread to load.

4: People come back and read the thread after the show is over, we're going to try to do our best this year to note who is singing and what for each show. When referring to a contestant, if possible, please use their names so we know exactly which contestant you are referring too.

5: Remember our Claymaniac friends on the West Coast and don't post AI information in community threads. Keep discussion and spoilers here.

6: Also asking you not to post Dial Idol results. Many people don't want to know who may or may not be voted off until the show airs.

A Beautiful Kradam Story:

This story was shared by a friend of the Allen Family who attended the rehearsals this week in LA!

Did you notice Kris had his thumbnail repainted?  Can you guess who painted it?  That's right!  Adam Lambert!  Kris performed during Rock week with a painted thumbnail, and his homecoming footage captured the chipped polish.  Tuesday night, however, Kris performed one of the best performances of the night (and the season, might I add) with a freshly painted thumbnail. 

According to Megan Malone, Adam painted Kris's thumbnail after the homecoming visits and removed the polish from one of his own nails, stating "If you can carry around a piece of me, man; I can do the same for you."  Malone said, "The Allens believe Kris wears the black fingernail polish in support of Adam because he wanted Adam in the finale.  Also, Kris wanted to dispel any rumors claiming the two weren’t great friends."  Kris and Adam were roommates in the Idol Mansion throughout their stay.

Thanks Megan for sharing the sweet story!

***ANNOUNCEMENT***


I started my new job today and just got my schedule for the coming week. I am scheduled to work until 9 on Tuesday which means I will miss the Finale. Booo! But I'm working and need the money so yay! This also means I am calling on all of you out there. Can someone please step in and cover the Finale during the viewing party? Please? It doesn't have to be exactly how I do it, just post what the contestants sing and a general idea of what the judges had to say about it. I would really appreciate it if someone or several someones could please step forward and do this. I hate that I've covered the entire season and then am missing the final performances!

I will be here Wednesday night.

Kris has won the coin toss and chosen to go second. Adam will lead off.

Each will sing 3 songs:

1) their favorite performance from the season

2) a choice by Simon Fuller, producer and co-founder of AI

3) winner's first single, co-written by Kara DioGuardi

SUNNY - Thanks for getting us started.  We'll follow your lead.

I just want to be "part of the crowd".

Ryan already announced that the show will "run over" time-wise!

Anybody else here??

The show will certainly run over if the judges don't stop arguing with one another.

re: Adam, song #1

Randy: I'm gonna give you an A+, dude!

Kara: You rocked it again tonight!

Paula: This is your moment! It was subdued, haunting, brilliant.

Simon: I thought it was a bit overly theatrical with the long coat.

Thanks, Barb -- I just saw where the DWTS that is on right now is a re-run of last night's show.  Good.


Simon seems to be trying to build a little competition here tonight.

re: Kris, song #1:

Randy: This was one of your best performances on this stage! Yes!

Kara: You have a way of creating an intimate bond with everyone in the audience.

Paula: You have the marking of a great artist.

Simon: Last week, I wasn't sure if America got it right when they announced your name. I absolutely take all that back.
