It’s Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen in tonight’s final performance episode (Fox, 8PM ET), and oddsmaker Betfair.com, which bills itself as “the world’s biggest online betting community,” is predicting Adam will win in a landslide (with 72.5 percent of the vote).

There’s bit a bit of Adam backlash since he and Kris became the two finalists last week – USA Today claims the race is a lot closer than it might seem – but I’m going to stick with Adam as the guy who will, and should, become the season eight American Idol.

Meanwhile, in other AI news:
– Lionel Richie, Santana, Jason Mraz, Keith Urban, Cyndi Lauper, David Cook, KISS, David Bowie and Britney Spears are among the celebs on the Wednesday results show/season finale. And host Ryan Seacrest has confirmed Carrie Underwood, the Black Eyed Peas and Queen Latifah will also be in the mix.

– Adam is reportedly singing “Mad World” – “with a twist” – on tonight’s show, while Kris is considering a repeat performance of either “Heartless” or “Falling Slowly.”
