In an effort to prevent spoilers from ruining some people's Idol experience, I decided to start this post (with the title remaining vague for quite a few days) since we'll obviously have a post for the winner's single when that is announced.
So here it is...hope you all agree it's a good idea.

I think the song kinda sucks lol. I didnt think either contestant sang it well. Hopefully the studio record will sound better of Kris.

Adam's version is just so odd, he tried really hard but geeeez he can't sing pop songs... LOL @ "You can sing anything you wanna sing."
I believe Kris' studio version will sound better.

As I said in the Idol thread, anyone involved in this song should be ashamed to be working in the music industry. This is EASILY the worst coronation song ever, and given the history, that's quite an accomplishment.

It's terrible. Not at all catchy. WTH Kara? I know you've written better songs than that piece of garbage.
Kris sang it better. At least I could get the melody when Kris sang it. Adam was all over the place and off-key in spots. I didn't get the song at all when he sang it. Plus Kris didn't use the background singers--that song did not need background singers.
Seriously, it'll be win/lose for both of them. One will win the title but be burden with this mess, and the other will lose the title but can move on to a real single. And you know since Kara wrote it they're really releasing it, unlike Season 6 when they never released Jordin's "This is My Now" (which, as bad as people said it was at the time, is a freakin' masterpiece compared to "No Boundaries").

We are climbing ANOTHER MOUNTAIN.
But this time we should WEATHER THE HURRICANE!
W.O.R.S.T. Idol coronation song in its 8-year history!
Although it beats 'Inside Your Heaven' by a hairline.

^^Okay, I do not watch Idol, so I was not aware of the song. But omg, those lyrics are terrible, and I'm going to look up the rest of the song right now because I'm very interested to read the whole thing.

Worst Idol coronation song ever. Somewhere out there "My Destiny" is laughing. Cheesy lyrics and absolutely no hook. I'm very disappointed with Kara, Mitch Allan (what happened to the greatness that is the All These Lives and 1985 co-writer?) and Cathy Dennis (what happened to the greatness that is the Toxic co-writer?). And these guys are GREAT songwriters so how the hell did this crap happened?!

LYRICS:
Seconds hours so many days You know what you want but how long can you wait Every moment last forever if you feel you’ve lost your way What if your chances are already gone Started believing that I could be wrong But you give me one good reason to fight and never walk away
Coz hear I am — still holding on!
Every step you climb another mountain Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains) Weather the hurricane To get to that one thing
When you think the road is going nowhere Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher You can go deeper There are no boundaries Above and beneath you B-reak every rule coz there’s nothing between you and your dreams
Every step you climb another mountain Every breathe its harder to believe

Wtf? "What if your chances are already gone, started believing I could be wrong?" The singer changes from talking about himself in third-person to first-person, with no transition whatsoever.

Sounds to me like it was rushed together.....they probably put Cathy, Mitch and Kara in a room and said come up with a song in 2 hours. This was the result....at times, it looked like Kara was even embarrased by it! YIKES!

Could be the worst coronation song ever. I hope it dies very, very quickly.

It's funny - David's "The Time of My Life" just recently (i.e., within the past month) became the first song from an Idol contestant ever to reach the top 10 of my weekly personal chart. Daughtry and Kelly had a few near-misses, but there was just something about Cook's performance that seemed heartfelt and totally non-sappy. I suppose I'd rank "A Moment Like This" second and "Do I Make You Proud" third. This one sucked, as most of them do.

Ranking 1. A Moment Like This 2. Feels Like Tonight (supposed to be Taylor's coronation song but he nixed it.) I hate all the rest.

This song is awful, but the only coronation songs I've liked are "A Moment Like This" and "I Believe," (and moreso because of Fantasia's arrangement and vocals because I hated Diana's version) so I can't say I'm surprised.

They could have gone to Australia and taken 2006's winner Damien Leith's gorgeous "Night Of My Life" or 2007's winner Natalie Gauci's "Here I Am" instead. Kara should be ashamed. She has written some tremendous songs and this, THIS is how she wanted to represent herself? Not a good moment for her.

It's a shame NEITHER of them can actually sing this. It's not fair. Bad times Kara.

I don't think this song is a fair representation of either singer. With the right arrangement, it could work for Kris, but the key has to be lowered. It's way too high for Kris. I was waiting for his voice to crack, as it was obvious he was struggling to reach the notes.
As for Adam, a rock singer, I can only imagine how dreadful it must be for him to sing this song. He was pitchy and sounded off-key at parts, but overall sang it better.
I think "A Moment Like This" is the best idol coronation song, and was delivered the best in terms of vocals and emotion, which is what the coronation song aims for. After that, there really aren't that many good songs. It's such a shame that they don't take the occasion to truly launch their career with a hit song.
