Adam Lambert or Kris Allen? LOS ANGELES – Adam Lambert and Kris Allen will face each other today on the American Idol stage. Their fate will be decided tonight in the final performance delivered by both the participants. It is believed that Kris, 23, was always seen as an underdog, where as Adam, 27, a sure winner. The audience will have to wait for sometime before jumping to any conclusion.

Making a mark among 100,000 people auditioned for the US television show “American Idol” and five months of broadcast on the Fox network, Adam and Kris are expected to sing three songs each before “Idol” viewers call in their votes to anoint the eighth winner of the TV ratings juggernaut. The winner will be announced at the season finale on Wednesday night.

Extensively considered the front-runner going into the finale, the flamboyant, nail-polish-wearing Lambert has wowed audiences with his off-the-charts vocal range, outrageous costumes and his willingness to take risks with songs like Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” and Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.”

“From a pure TV spectacle standpoint, this is the Adam Lambert show,” said Michael Slezak, who covers “American Idol” for Entertainment Weekly. “It’s hard to deny his effect and his dominance.”

Nicknamed “Glambert” by his fans, the San Diego native was in the cast of the Los Angeles production of the musical “Wicked” before auditioning for “Idol.”

According to the TRP”American Idol” has been America’s most-watched TV show for several years, attracting an average audience this year of more than 26 million viewers per episode. It has produced bona fide music stars including country singer Carrie Underwood, Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson, rocker Chris Daughtry and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson.
