Well... if you watched that final show just now, it's in the bag. No, he can't hold a candle to her voice, but he is "The Idol" hands down. It's about entertaining and she may learn to do that some day but she didn't do it tonight. On the other hand, he did... BIG time.

If she can get some coaching with "being an idol" (she's ONLY 16 YEARS OLD! and she is amazing) she will be a great force. But, that ain't gonna happen immediately.

Over all, I enjoyed the "competition". It was entertaining, especially to see these kids get the chance to strut their stuff. As far as some people saying it's using them to make money... good for them to make a few bucks and get some exposure that they wouldn't get to otherwise.
