AI: Down to the nine count

You can already tell who's going to be a "star" (that is, a successful music arti$t) post-AI, and it's Adam Lambert, no matter what else happens the rest of the AI "season". Effortlessly brilliant. Paula is right.

The other, and I didn't realize it until last night, is Kris Allen. He's got it too, but still acts a bit "uncertain".

Some of the others are good-karaokes, but not star-to-bes.
