American Idol 2009 Finale Week - Elimination Results Show Tonight

97 Comments » , By: Matt American Idol, Results, Season 8

Tonight on American Idol 2009 the end-all, finale results for this season will be revealed, crowning either Adam Lambert or Kris Allen to be the newest Idol.

Before last week I would have said that it Adam’s win was all but set in stone. After Ryan Seacrest revealed last week that Adam and Kris’ vote counts were within 1 million votes of each other I’m thinking this competition is still wide open. The deciding factor is likely to be where Danny Gokey’s voters lean their weight. Will they get behind Adam or fall in line with Kris?

Tonight’s episode will be jam packed with guest stars, including Carrie Underwood, David Cook, the Black Eyed Peas, Queen Latifah, Keith Urban, Lionel Richie, Carlos Santana, and Cyndi Lauper. Somehow they’ll fit that all into 2-hours!

Be sure to vote for who you think will be the big winner tonight!

American Idol Updates at Wild Bluff Media:

Should Alexis Grace Have Been Saved?
Alexis Grace was the third contestant to be sent home from this season of American Idol. The question of the night was should the judges have saved her from elimination this week? Its my personal opinion that the producers just made too many changes to the format this year. Some of them I like some of them I’m not so ... [Link]

Hough & Pickler Host CMA Special
This week the Country Music Association (CMA) announced that former Dancing With The Stars Champion, Julianne Hough, former-American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler, and country music star Taylor Swift will co-host the CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock.

David Cook to Appear On Larry King Live Tonight
American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook and runner up David Archuleta are set to appear on CNN’s Larry King Live tonight at 9PM. I’m sure with Larry’s reputation for soft ball journalism he will have loads of hard hitting questions for this pair. I’ll probably watch it anyway just to see how Archie and more importantly his Dad are ... [Link]

American Idol 2008 Finale - May 21, 2008
At the start of tonight’s American Idol Finale Ryan was excited because they received 97 million votes. This beat the previous record for the most votes by 23 million. Ryan of course made it sound like 97 million people voted. Obviously that’s not true. Someone in my sons class cast 245 votes last night. Ryan revealed that 54% of those ... [Link]

American Idol: Finale Results Preview - May 21, 2008
Last night’s American Idol 2008 performance show was a bit of a let down for me. I wasn’t thrilled with a David vs. David Finale to begin with. The extra hype and cheesy bits they added (like the boxing theme at the start of the show) really didn’t help. My biggest disappoint met was in the performances. I reread my ... [Link]

American Idol: Finale Performance Recap - May 20, 2008
The American Idol Season 7 Finale Performance show began with a pretty lame take off on a boxing match. Ryan then interviewed the final 2. I thought David Cook was very gracious. He said how nice David Archuleta is and that it was time to just go out there and have fun. David Archuleta was awkward as usual when answering ... [Link]

American Idol: Finale Performance Preview - May 20, 2008
Tonight in a three round match David vs. David! Tonight’s American Idol Finale should be interesting. I still think Syesha should have made it but, what are you going to do. Its going to be David Archuleta’s popularity, cuteness, and voice against David Cook’s originality, stage presence, and attitude. Personally, I’m rooting for David Cook. I think that he is ...

American Idol: Top 3 Results Recap - May 14, 2008
The American Idol results show tonight began with a performance by former American Idol winner Fantasia. She had red hair and put on quite an interesting performance. While watching her performance, Simon looked totally confused. I know last night I was kind of relieved that they didn’t spend much time on the hometown visits. I actually enjoyed watching the visits ... [Link]

American Idol: Top 3 Results Preview - May 14, 2008
That was quite an American Idol 2008 performance show last night. I was not disappointed that they played down the home town visits this year. That’s kind of cool but I can take it or leave it. There were some really great performances last night. The biggest problem I had with last night’s show was not the performances, it was ... [Link]

American Idol: Top 3 Performance Recap - May 13, 2008
On tonight’s American Idol we got to see the final 3 contestants make their hometown visits. The top 3 each had to perform three songs tonight: one selected by the judges, one selected by the producers, and one selected by the performer. Round 1: Judges Choices David Archuleta: And So It Goes I thought Paula made an interesting choice. I ... [Link]
