Win or lose, Adam Lambert is the winner


It doesn't matter who wins this week's "American Idol" finale: The future superstar is going to be Adam Lambert. Maybe the 12-year-old girls who I suspect make up the majority of voters will choose Kris Allen because they find him cute, while Lambert may be too edgy and gay (or gay-like) for their tastes. But Lambert has what the late writer George Frazier called "duende" -- that special something that will shoot him to stardom and keep him there long after Allen is forgotten. Update: Told you so!
