American Idol Predictions From Gambling911.com

Here is our philosophy when it comes to making American Idol predictions.  As each week passes, one Idol gets eliminated and presumably his or her fan base will vote for someone else.  They will inevitably select someone with a similar style to that of their booted favorite. 

Things get tricky when one considers that NONE of this year's crop of American Idol talent came even remotely close to matching the style of Adam Lambert.

Once we get to the final three weeks, if people are voting for Lambert now, odds are they won't be voting for him after the finale either.

Early favorite to win this year's American Idol, Danny Gokey, got voted off last week.  Keep in mind that he was never in the bottom three.  Who will his fan base vote for in the final?  Gambling911.com says the majority probably won't go for Adam Lambert.  Gokey, a Born-Again Christian, represented the wholesome image first developed around Idol back when it began a number of years back.  Since then a handful of Idols have managed to break the mold.  Among them:  Chris Daultry and last year's winner, David Cook.  But even those Idols were seen as "fitting the mold" despite their more edgier performances (and let's not forget Chris Daultry found himself eliminated a few weeks before the final). 

Adam Lambert is "in your face" opposite of your typical American Idol wannabe.  He's flashy, eccentric and - every obviously - has gay tendencies, at least that is the perception.  A series of gay Idols emerged among the final 24 last year after being voted in by the judges and none lasted to see the final 12.  The question is:  Will America be ready for an Adam Lambert?

We think that most of the Danny Gokey voters will discover an easy transition to Kris Allen.  That might not be the case with Adam.

What might save Lambert is that he is probably the biggest talent this show has ever seen and more people are likely to vote during the finale who have never voted the rest of the season.

The oddsmakers and betting public is all over Adam Lambert with a current line of -350 at SBG Global.

Winner

Both Adam and Kris are extremely talented. I will be happy for who ever wins as they are both deserving of the title. I do agree with other comments on here....what does sexual preference, religion or any other characteristic of a person have to do with their ABILITY to sing and perform? That is what American Idol is all about isn't it....finding talent? I hope the guys were judged on their abilities, their performances, their "star-quality" - not anything else.

Adam Lambert

I am a classically-trained singer (retired) and also a follower of Christ's teachings... which are grounded on LOVE and respect for others. I have followed all of the American Idol seasons. As a singer, vocal coach and teacher I have to say I have never heard a talent quite like Adam Lambert. He is an exceptional talent. A God-given talent I might add. He should win because he is the best they have EVER had. He can sing any genre. Let's give the young man a break. Love him for his talent and strengths. Wouldn't we want people to do the same for each one of us?

It's Daughtry, not Daultry

You might want to proof your copy a little bit better.

Adam will lose and here is why...

Adam won't win because anyone who ever liked any contestant that has been voted off is anti Adam. In other words if you liked Alison ... you looked at Danny and Adam as her enemies because they we’re always favored to win. Sooooooooo … when Alison got the boot all of her fans voted for ANYONE but Adam and Danny … get it? Also, it doesn’t help that Adam is so over the top. It makes him easier to hate. Maybe if he puts his tongue back in his mouth, stoped screaming in every song, and puts on a normal pair of pants he might have a shot. But if Kris does another one of his incredible arrangements Adam doesn’t stand a chance.

Sorry to burst your bubble

Sorry to burst your bubble but I voted for Allison and couldn't believe that Danny remained in, and now I am voting for Adam who has shown the most talent throughout the season>

I am sorry but this contest

I am sorry but this contest is NOT survivor with a peer jury. It is a talent contest and for that reason alone Adam is the only winner in season 8.

Both are winners to me....

"It makes him easier to hate." I would suggest you choose your words better. Hate has become synonymous with Evangelicals in this country. GOD TOLD ME TO HATE YOU! and GOD HATES FAGS! are rallying cries of those loving christians in our society. "Maybe if he puts on a normal pair of pants".......?????? Who do you think you are? It ends up being a popularity contest based on people's preferences...... have fun kiddies........ Both young men are talented and well mannered. I like them both, each for different reasons. Both of them are winners to me and I have enjoyed them both. I will repeat what the Allison people were saying on the blogs before she was booted. "GO AWAY GOKEY". I was most ecstatic when Gokey got the boot. I was an Allison person and I am voting for Adam.

I don't believe at any point

I don't believe at any point she mentioned Christianity OR homosexuality. Sorry, but YOUR prejudice is showing. Also, please stop lumping all Christians with the wackos that are shown on TV. We are embarrassed by them, believe me.

there seams to be a lot of hate going on....

Why are Christians the only PC group to speak despairingly of? Your stereotypical comments were on par with the comment you were attacking.
