 (左) 美偶第8季亞軍Adam Lambert，(右) 冠軍 Kris Allen

American Idol 美國偶像第8季於上週落幕，來自阿肯色州Conway、擁有偶像派外表的Kris Allen爆冷奪冠。

除了美國一片錯愕之外，連遠在台灣的網路上也引起不小的討論。

雖然我還滿喜歡Kris，拿把吉他自彈自唱的風格很清新，但是我很不爽他是這屆美國偶像冠軍這件事。

因為論唱功、舞台魅力、台風、原創性、明星特質，Adam全部大勝，

我認為Adam Lambert才是冠軍。(←包括評審在內的很多人都認為他是歷屆最強、最有才華的參賽者)

尤其進入13強後Adam的人氣更是遙遙領先。

當宣佈Kris是冠軍之後，不但毒舌評審Simon首次拒絕起立為冠軍喝采，連美國主流媒體都認為這是實力敗給人氣。

加上冠軍戰三首歌曲的表現很明顯亞軍的Adam Lambert技壓Kris，老實說Kris只有第一首唱的最好。

尤其最後決勝的歌曲《No Boundaries》，非常明顯Kris的音域唱不上去，他唱起來很吃力而且還有破音。

沒想到隔天投票結果出爐竟然是Kris奪冠！？

我整個無法接受~

不論是看冠軍賽的表現還是看整季的表現，Adam都是一支獨秀。(我不是說其他人都很爛，Danny、Allison、Kris都不錯，只是Adam太耀眼....)

搖滾、抒情流行、爵士、鄉村歌曲他都能唱，

每次演唱已經不是聽他唱歌而已，而是要看他怎麼顛覆原唱、唱出自己的風格而且像來看他的演唱會了。

他不會只限於滿足觀眾的期望，而是會去衝破、去挑戰觀眾的期望。

加上他身上另人又愛又恨的明星特質，不就是真正的超級巨星所必須具備的嗎？

因此如果是敗給實力那就認了，但這很明顯Adam不是輸在實力也不是輸在冠軍賽的表現，

而是輸給了瘋狂灌票的阿肯色州居民。(←根據外電新聞，來自Kris老家鄉親父老的簡訊投票佔全部總票數1億多的4成，約3800萬票。)

這真的是給它灌~很~大！

 連Kris自己在得知自己是冠軍後都不可置信地脫口而出說：「冠軍應該是Adam」 

當然可能還有一些原因啦~比如說Adam的同志身份啦(雖然他是不是GAY我都沒差，重點是他能唱好歌。而且GAY就不能當偶像嗎)

還有他的視覺系搖滾歌手外型和表演風格不太受美國主流社會青睞也有關係，Kris又長的比較親切可愛。

加上還有某些酸葡萄心理、見不得人好的人，只能說天才招忌！

雖然比賽結束了，但是離開美國偶像的舞台之後真正的考驗才要開始。

果然鑒於這屆美國偶像的話題度，現在美國SONY唱片公司在iTunes上同步推出冠亞軍數位單曲《No Boundaries》，讓Kris Allen和Adam Lambert再度PK。台灣現在也可以前往KKBox和 ezPeer同步聽到喔~

為了不讓Kris太難堪，下面放上兩位的錄音版本，來看看自己喜歡哪一個。

Adam Lambert- No Boundaries 

Kris Allen- No Boundaries

No Boundaries

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever if you feel you've lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
to fight and never walk away

Coz hear I am - still holding on!

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What is today is as good as it gets
Don't know where the future's heading、

but nothing's gonna bring me down
I jumped every bridge and I've run light
I've risked being safe but I always knew why、

I always knew why

So here I am still hoding on

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain、weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
B-reak every rule coz there's nothing between you

and your dreams

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain、weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can 

There are no boundaries x4


There are no boundaries
