Lambert
Adam Lambert will win American Idol. I am not saying this from a fan boy perspective. In fact, I do not like his singing and very much would prefer Kris Allen to win. His singing really tugs more at one's heartstrings. But back to the point, this is why Adam will win.
Humans are selfish and loyal. If fact, they are loyally selfish and selfishly loyal. When ones favourite is knocked out of the competition, there is a natural tendency to stop voting. So if you divide the rest of America into 4 main groups, it is obvious who will win.
Dividing into "Straight Men", "Gay Men", "Straight Women" and "Gay Women", you can almost assign who will vote for whom. The homosexual group will vote for Adam because there are reports that he is gay, the straight women will vote for Adam because he is hot. And the Straight Men will vote for Kris because he is the only other one left.
Of course, this goes by the assumption that America votes primarily on race, gender and religous loyalties rather than by vocal ability. And that is an assumption that one can readily make looking at the history of American Idol. Look at it, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, Ruben Studdard winning while Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry, Blake Lewis, Katherine McPhee coming in short.
I really hope that I am wrong here though. This is one time where I would love to be proven wrong.
