His march towards being crowned the next American Idol has seemed virtually inevitable (especially after Danny Gokey unwisely attempted to croon "Dream On"). But is there a chance Adam Lambert could actually not win on Wednesday? Jessica Shaw and I discuss that as well as the premiere of The Bachelorette, the twisted genius of Real Housewives of New Jersey, and the brand-new Terminator movie. Not enough? Well, we’re also giving away free tickets and a hotel room for Comic-Con (super-sexy contest rules, as always, can be found right here). Still not enough? How about a visit from So You Think You Can Dance‘s Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, who stop by to break down the upcoming season? Still not enough? Well, now you’re just out of luck, ’cause that’s all we got. But click on the video below to see it all go down (it’s broken up into two parts, so stay tuned to part 2 for your SYTYCD fix) and tell us whom you agree with on the big Adam Lambert question. (Me! Say you agree with me!)

Yes, Adam can actually lose American Idol. No, it’s not because the “heartland” might not like it, it’s because Kris was superbly awesome all season long. They were both great in totally different ways so give credit where it’s due! Kris might take it because he totally kicked ass on Idol all season long as well (and with no help from the judges, producers, etc!)
Adam is AMAZING! He should win the whole thing!
All depends on who Gokey’s fans vote for. We may be robbed of the best idol contestent ever!
Why does everyone think Adam is inevitable? Don’t you think close to 100% of Gokey’s votes will go to Kris? I actually think it would be more shocking for Adam Lambert to WIN.
I was/still am a Danny and Allison fan, DEFINATELY voting for Kris this week.
I think Kris needs to win American Idol. Adam is going to get a record deal regardless. I cannot stand Adam’s voice and hope that all of Danny’s fans will vote for Kris.
I think either should win…my first pick is Adam, since he caught my attention each week. While Kris was good each week, he wasn’t the one that I had to watch.
YES Adam can lose! So we have to VOTE for him, non-stop during call in hours! Kris will probably get the Danny votes and last week Adam and Kris were only 1m votes apart. We know Adam is already a winner. He raised the stakes and the rest scrambled to catch to him. So he deserves the win! VOTE VOTE VOTE for ADAM!!!
I’m totally with you, AC! Though I agree that Adam is incredibly talented, his music isn’t my style and I’m rooting for Kris!
The only reason Adam’s “march towards being crowned” has been so inevitable is because the producers, judges, and media have made it that way. Hopefully all the hype has turned people off and Kris will win as the underdog.
ADAM IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW AND ALREADY AN INTERNATIONAL STAR. Kris is mediocore and nothing special. When Kris sells more on Itunes, more videos, more memorabilia, gets standing ovations from Simon and Smokey Robinson, then maybe Kris might have a shot. But, the facts speeak for themselves. The only way Adam will lose is because people are nasty and hateful. And are juding him other things besides his phenominal singing and entertaining ability.
Maybe close to 100% of Gokey’s fans just won’t vote!
Imo it SHOULD be Adam, based on overall level of performance all year long. However, if people just remember one night of performances, and Kris has another “Heartless” moment, it could go his way. I think what works the most against Adam is the “vote for the underdog” mentality, which isn’t really fair, because Adam, despite the supposed “pimping”, etc. has genuinely been the most consistent, and talented performer each week. He’s deserved all the praise he’s gotten, and he’s been nothing but humble about it all.
KRIS RULES !!
KRIS TO WIN
ADAM IS SUCH A STUPID EMO QUEEN
SING LIKE A MAN YOU FREAK
I’m not an Adam fan. The screaming, albeit on pitch, gives me a headache. I can’t imagine listening to him for 120 minutes in a live show. He’s going to get a contract … of that, I have no doubt, but I wouldn’t buy his CD. I would buy Kris’ because he can mix up … and he knows the importance of volume control.
