Danny Goes Home

So, in the biggest shocker American Idol has seen since Nikki McKibbin beat Tamayra Gray in season 1, or since Daughtry lost out to Elliot Yamin in season 5, Kris Allen now defeats Danny Gokey.

I guess I was wrong on the finals for the first time in 3 seasons but shit happens !

I was stunned but I think I have a few answers to why this happened:

1.) T.W.M.F. - The Wal*Mart Factor. There are millions of people out there that shop at Wal*Mart, that big company located in Arkansas, Kris Allen's home state. Then, all of the thousands of employees out in Bentonville placed votes as well to help Kris' vote total.

2.) Song Choice. Danny went with two songs that many of the prime voters, aged 10 to 25, are not as familiar with while Kris Allen sang two much more popular songs that our country's youth can relate too.

3.) T.W.F. or The Wow Factor. Kris had two or three WOW performances this season where he totally changed up the song and made it his own. Danny was much more consistent this season but never had that performance that made me go WOW.

4.) T.S.F. - The Sympathy Factor. I guess people were over the producers playing the dead wife card for Danny.

5.) T.B.T. - The Bottom 3. Danny was never in the bottom three so there is a chance that a percentage of his fans just assumed he was safe and voted for who they wanted Danny to go against in the finals.

6.) The Producers just wanted the Gokey vs. Lambert final way too much and Vote For The Worst.com was not gonna allow that to happen.

7.) The Screech - That horrible note from the week prior just lingered on too long in people's minds

.
Well....Adam vs. Kris should be interesting. I can't see Adam losing but stranger things have happened.

Until then...Birdman Out.
