go to kris allen nation and scoll down to where it says gizmo and then download it. you can still vote with it even though lines are closed on the east coast. we have 58 more minutes. kris is still winning on dial idol but we need a wider margin.

Thanks. I have never been to that site before.

I live in Northern California. Here it is mandatory we eat granola, live in Birkenstocks and watch reality TV. LOL!

That margin on dial idol is SMALL.

I will keep voting until the end.

Thanks again for the site.

I just learned on that kris allen nation site that idol is not sending out text confirmations.

Good to know. I was worried because I didn’t get one tonight.

I think Kris wins as well. Unless Idol cheats. I don’t trust anyone anymore.

They could throw them onto the stage, but, Adam would just toss them back!

No he wouldn’t, he’d put them on! :)

Dail Idol's final numbers are:

Kris 61.14
Adam 60.04

That's really close! But for the last few weeks the bottom 2 were very close as well and they nailed it both times.

Kris should squeak this one out by a nose OR I WILL suspect Idol of cheating by cooking the books!

Adam is a theater guy -- playing a rock star - (NY Post Article)

I'll admit I think Adam did better than Chris last night in the finals. In fact as a "singer" Adam trounced Kris, but as real musician, a real singer, a real artist, Kris kicks Adam's ass all over that stage!

I can't believe Randy thought 'Change Is Gonna Come' worked for Adam. It SUCKED big time with absolutely everything about the feel of the song was horrendously wrong. Adam's got ONE emotion for all songs...MEAN!

Well, after all was said and done, I ended up voting for Adam last night. I really like the folksy bluesy vibe Kris Allen gives off, and I think he is probably the best arranger/musician/interpreter the show has ever had — but in the end Adam Lambert was the most consistent performer throughout the whole season.

Last night was so close I allowed myself to look back at the entire body of work of both contestants to make my choice. At that point it became academic for me, Kris had some amazingly brilliant moments - I consider “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Heartless” to be among the best Idol performances ever. But, Kris was also up and down, and we saw that uneven performance last night a little on the final song.

By contrast, like his “Signature Screech” ™ or not, Adam was consistently excellent all season long.

I like Kris Allen, I love his singing style, and I can’t wait to see what type of Album he puts out — but as good as Kris is I have to go with my gut, and it says:
ADAM LAMBERT - AMERICAN IDOL 2009.

A look back - my personal top 10 for this season (some of these were not in the finals) :
1. Allison Iraheta
2. Adam Lambert
3. Kris Allen
4. Danny Gokey
5. Ricky Braddy
6. Alexis Grace
7. Matt Giraud
8. Anoop Desai
9. Megan Joy
10. Michael Sarver

LMAO!! Sad, but true.

I wish I could of seen the show! Couldn't even tape it. I am praying for Kris!

~~~~

Predictions are too close to call this week! This is the first time this has ever happened for an American Idol finale in the history of DialIdol.com. No matter what conclusions you draw from DialIdol's predictions - think again!

Only 1.1% separate Kris and Adam - this is too close to call no matter how you calculate margin of error and no matter how many directions you apply it.

Kris seems to have that inconsequential, 1.1% lead over Adam and he held that lead pretty much the whole night. DialIdol measured the busy signal every four minutes last night. What was interesting was that Kris seemed to consistently beat Adam by that slim margin for the first two hours of voting - as opposed to them alternating victories. This is a sign that the data you see is accurate but - again - there is no way to call it accurate when only 1.1% separates them!

Adam seemed to fair better on the West coast winning all three Pacific states and edging Kris more often than not. Traditionally these Pacific states have a hard time over-riding what happened in the rest of the country but with scores this close it is simply too close to call!

This should make for one heck of a finale!

Plus, for a mole, he's really handsy. I'd suggest some pepper spray, but I can't imagine where you would spray it.
