LAST EDITED ON 05-15-09 AT 07:57 AM (EST)All the producers care about is ratings, they make very little profit from an Idol's future record sales, but they make tons of money from advertising. When people are talking about the contestants or complaining that a superior talent was voted off it tends to drive up future ratings. The producers have to love the finals they have and it should not matter much to them who wins, because the show is the winner when there is controversy.
Although I think Adam is more talented than Kris, I will be surprised if Kris does not win. Kris was very close in votes to Adam this week even though we don't know who was the actual vote leader and Danny's voters will likely vote for Kris by at least a 2 to 1 margin in my opinion. I believe this since the type of music Danny sang was more similar to Kris' music than Adam's.
I hear opinions that Kris is getting the young vote, but I also suspect he is getting quite a lot of the older vote since he is well liked on this forum which I don't think is frequented by teens.
