Bottom Of The Barrel

AI: Mano-A-Mano

Well my boy Danny finishes 3rd in season 8. In the past 7 years, that has not been a very good place to finish [see the careers of Nikki McKibbin, Kimberley Locke, Jasmine Trias, or Vonzell Solomon] but in the last couple years we have seen much more music out of the top 10 [Elliott Yamin, Chris Daughtry, or Kellie Pickler as examples] so I think this is not the last we have seen of good old Danny Boy. I look forward to hearing what he can come up with once he is away for the Idol machine and has a studio to work with.

Now as for the finals - for the second season in a row, it will be an all male final pitting Adam's over-the-top vocals vs Kris down-to-earth musicality. As far as future artists goes, I think this season has gotten it right. Both these guys will find themselves recording an album which will ironically be dropping sometime around the start of season 9. In some respects I believe Adam needs to win it more than Kris but I'm sure Kris would take the title. Sure Adam has been the judges favorite all year but what if Kris ends up with all of Danny's votes? He could just slide into the winners circle from nearly nowhere. It is going to be interesting next week. Wino Out!
