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.
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.
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!
You guys – Simon Cowell may not be coming back to Idol after this season. I’m telling you right now, that unless they replace him with someone equally fabulous, I will not watch it. And you know American Idol is totally FREAKING OUT about the possibility of me, Mockarena, not watching the show.
Anyway, I’ve kind of resigned myself to the fact that Adam The Freak Lambert is going to win this season. There are too many freak-lovers out there for him not to win. So I guess I’ll just have to be happy if my beloved Gokey comes in second. Sigh. He’ll still get a record deal, and I’ll still buy his CD, and I’ll still totally mock and snub my nose at Adam’s CD. So all is well.
I’m so happy because tonight marks the first top 12 night which is only an hour long. Don’t get me wrong, I love American Idol, but 1.5 hours or 2 hours is just far too long. One hour? Perfect.
I cannot tell you how much I DON’T want Adam Lambert to win. HATE him.
You know why I’m a Gokehead, besides the fact that Danny’s voice completely blows me away? I love that he is the anti-media person. Like – his wife freaking DIED a few months ago, and this past weekend he had to attend his grandpa’s funeral, and he just never uses the crappy stuff that happens to him as a way to gain the affection of voters. He just sings. I love that.
