Why Is Adam Lambert The Frontrunner In American Idol Season 8?

It’s been a long journey to the final three, but over the course of season eight Adam Lambert has emerged as the frontrunner. Although some may disagree that it is a clear path for Adam Lambert to the finish line, it is hard to look past what he has done thus far. You truly have to appreciate music and the kind of talent he has to understand why he is miles ahead of the rest.

It would be unfair to say that he is going up against amateurs who have no talent whatsoever. The remaining contestants have made it to where they are for a reason. They have incredible vocals, star appeal, and know how to work with the crowd. The problem is Adam has all of this plus some. He truly is at a completely different level than the two remaining.

As you begin to look at the contestants left, you will notice that Adam is not miles ahead just because he can hit the high notes and impress the crowd. He has the types of skills that make it almost unfair to the rest of the competition. It is as if he has been in the music industry for years prior. He knows exactly how to control every note he faces whether it is loud, soft, low, mid-range or falsetto.

For some, it is quite intimidating stepping up on the American Idol stage. There is a lot of pressure and millions of viewers watching your every move. However, for Adam Lambert it is nothing more than home. He is in complete control of everything he does on stage. There is nothing that can stop him from nailing every challenge and every week.

Almost every contestant that has stepped foot on the stage has faltered at some point or another. Whether it is for an entire song or a few notes here and there, it is uncanny for a contestant to go through the entire season without struggling. But as you look back on every week you will notice that Adam is the lone ranger who has nailed every performance. This is precisely why he has a clear path to the finals.

All remaining contestants are great in their own way. You cannot take anything away from Danny Gokey or Kris Allen. They have tremendous talent and are in the final three for a reason. Because of this, you have to consider them to give Adam Lambert a run for his money. But for the time being, it is hard to argue against Adam as being the person to beat in the eighth season of American Idol.
