Clay Aiken shared his thoughts about this year’s Idol on his website, and it turns out, he’s not all that fond of Adam Lambert:
“Now that it’s all over, and for the record…. I couldn’t be happier about the way AI ended this year. I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing “Ring of Fire” and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn’t really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said that he was great) but I can’t imagine I would have enjoyed it. Just not my cup of tea at all. To each his own.”
Discuss.
Oh, and P.S. – it’s being reported that Kris won by kind of a lot! Like – it wasn’t even a close finish or anything! I feel vindicated, somehow.
Ryan looks positively RABID in this photo. Like he’s looking at Kris Allen’s earlobe, and thinking it looks really tasty, and he’s going in for a bite.
Here’s the thing. You’re going to hear all sorts of nonsense today from all sorts of sources that the reason Adam Lambert didn’t win American Idol is because he’s gay.
That’s completely stupid. Adam is a totally polarizing person, but I don’t think it has anything to do with his gayness. I think it has to do with the fact that some people think he sounds like a dying cat. Count me in that camp of people. That said, I think he has piles more vocal ability than the other dude who won. It’s just that those particular piles are not piles that I actually want to listen to on a regular basis.
I didn’t vote for Kris, because I didn’t vote for anyone. I make it a practice not to actually vote for anyone on American Idol, because that would require effort, and I only watch American Idol so that I can zone out and not do anything for an hour or two. But if I HAD voted, I probably would have voted for Freaky McDeadCat Boy, because I think he’s more talented, and I feel like American Idol is a talent show.
I suspect that Adam’s going to have loads more success than Kris will, because Kris, while a nice singer and all, just isn’t all that interesting. Adam is interesting, I’ll give him that.
But the whole gay thing? No. I don’t buy it. He lost NOT because he’s gay, but because he’s just plain annoying to people.
This probably shouldn’t amuse me as much as it does. But I’m easily amused. And all of the video game sound effects in the background actually kind of tranced me out.
You guys, you probably don’t know this, but my sister Bunny is a MASTER WHACK-A-MOLE player. Like – if there was a Whack-A-Mole Idol, I would totally insist that she audition. Except you know if she did there’d be some glamorous is-he-or-isn’t-he-gay dude in the competition who used some sort of dying cat-wail as part of his whacking regimen, and then people all over America who LIKE dying cat-wails would vote for him, and Bunny would be totally left in the dust.
American Idol in 25 minutes, you guys. And then? GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I still love him (obviously) but it turns out he’s a huge Adam Lambert fan. This is very very disappointing indeed. In a recent blog entry, he said, “Adam Lambert is my personal bestest Pop star right now…..If you haven’t been watching American Idol check him out… he’s the real deal in fact if there was a Singing Olympics and the US were sending Michael Buble and Adam Lambert i wouldn’t even try out for the UK team.”
I get Michael Buble, because Michael Buble is fantastic, but if you’ve ever heard Robbie’s Swing Like You’re Winning CD, you know he’s every bit as good if not better than Buble at the classics. But screechy Adam Lambert? Gawd. That’s just embarassing.
Clearly, Robbie’s been negatively affected by all of his alien-watching.
I say that not because this post will be particularly clever or funny or mocky, but because I have SO MUCH to tell you about this Chicago trip that I’m quite certain it will be the longest post in Mock Dock history. So, if you’re interested, plan on staying awhile. If you’re not interested, just scroll down to the more tolerable bite-size posts that are typical of The Mock Dock.
Ok. So we started our journey on Tuesday morning at 10ish, and piled into Leroy’s giant tricked out Tahoe. Leroy, God bless ‘er, was SICK AS A DOG, but still totally psyched and ready for the festivities, and armed with loads of OTC drugs to combat funk symptoms. So off we went.
Naturally, we blasted the latest Britney Spears album pretty much the whole way there. We got to our hotel (Westin on Michigan Ave – just a few steps from Water Tower), threw our stuff in the room, and headed out to shop at H&M and Filene’s Basement before grabbing lunch/dinner at Ditka’s. We had absolutely amazing service at pretty much every establishment we patroned over this past two days, and Ditka’s was no exception. Food was delish, and our bartender/waiter was precious. We stayed there a couple hours and then went back to the room to prepare for the Mother Of All Concerts.
How much do you love this photo of what could quite possibly be the ugliest mug shot EVER? And I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking – what does this hideous mugshot have to do with American Idol? And the answer is NOTHING. Jump in for the recap!
