What the...? SERIOUSLY?!?!?!


Listen, I admit it. I have only watched a collective hour of American Idol this season but yet I still cared about the outcome. Somehow, against all logic -- America voted more times for Kris than Adam. WTF?
Adam is clearly the better showman and the better vocalist. But once again -- Americans had to be "safe" and pick the boring and vanilla over the exciting rainbow flavor (with sparkles). I'm sure the bored housefraus of the USA got together in every little wide spot in the road and decided that Adam was just "too freaky" to be their American Idol. Yes, he is flamboyant and in your face and most probably all the way gay. But the boy can sing and he is for sure never boring to watch. The irony here is that all these people who voted for Kris to keep Adam out of the sight and ears of their impressionable children have failed already. The truth is that Kris will put out an album (of the AI producer's choosing) and most people will buy it, but then it will come time to support Kris in the biggest moneymaking way -- attending his concerts -- and they will not show. Because it will be boring to watch. I predict that he is playing county fairs by next summer. Meanwhile, by coming in second, Adam has been freed to make any kind of music he wants to and to promote himself any way that he wants to and people will not only buy his album, they will attend his shows because they are GUARANTEED to be a great spectacle and worth the money. And I'll bet a pair of Jimmy Choos that Adams album is great. I get that he doesnt appeal to everyone but what I dont get is how people fail season after season to realize that what they are SUPPOSED to vote for is the BEST PERFORMER who can sing. Taylor whatshisgreyhair anyone? What about thier buddy Ruben with the giant shirts? What happened to them? Nothin. you know why? boring.
How about Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry? Big careers because they market themselves well and put on great shows and have interesting personal lives. You don't have to answer, you know I'm right. When you get right down to it, wouldn't you truly rather have a little sparkly Adam in your life than a beige Kris? I know I would.
