I turned the TV off during the preliminaries, because this show has always been homophobic, lead by Simon of course because it's his job to be an ass, but the other judges let it happen and encourage it. Any guy who shows too much effeminacy gets mocked like hell, and on more than one occasion, I've seen them toss off a transgendered singer because they were too busy laughing to notice that the person had a good voice. (I'm not talking about the straight guys who wear a dress just to get on TV.) I gave it a chance this season, but they did it again, so I flat out can't watch. It's too painful.
And I agree, from the information I've gotten from my friends who watch the show, I have no doubt that people voted en masse to make sure The Gay didn't win. The Gay can't represent America! I've been told it's in their contracts that they can't say openly while in the competition that they're gay or bi. It's lovely.
Kris isn't even on the pulse of what 'the kids' are watching, either. Adam is right in line with the big stars of Bandom, the boys with haircuts just like that, with good voices and a bit of flair, and boykissing. I trust he'll do better because he's not limited by the contract.
It's sad but true. I had thought with some more states coming in on the gay marriage bandwagon that the country was becoming more tolerant.
I guess not.
It's sad that he lost, but I think in the long run he'll be better off for it. He won't have to sing that trite song that Kara had written and he won't have 19 ruining his debut album with treacly sweet nonsense songs that they hope will sell to tween girls.
It'll probably be better for him. Maybe he'll get a broadway show, an album, a movie, who knows?
I know that the theatre community was supporting him too, so he'll get some work wherever he wants I'm sure.
I adore Adam. He's over the top, but he's so centered and comfortable with himself too. He really knows who he is and what he wants to do. I'm sure he'll be just fine.
I know I'll buy whatever it is he decides to put out, whether it's an album or whatever.
It'd be fun to see him in a broadway show, maybe get nominated for a Tony, in addition to selling millions more CDs than Kris. He's just so good, I'm sure he'll have a long succesful career.
