It's official. I am obsessed with a contestant on American Idol. I mean, I know I had a taste of it last year with David Cook, but they haven't even selected the top 12 yet, and I'm already rooting hard for someone

I really like Adam, too. And I'm curious what they'll do with his personal story stuff if he makes it far into the competition (as he certainly should, if not win it outright). Because AI viewership contains a huge chunk of middle america uber!christians - as evidenced by their freakish prayer chains and whatnot last year and not only are they not gonna vote for the gay dude...they're gonna take offense at him gaying up their show in general. Should be interesting. I hope AI does the right thing, dammit. Adam deserves some great exposure and I think he has the potential to go far. And yes, love child of Pete Wentz and Ryan Ross...*snert* Definitely. And yes, very attractive in spite (or maybe even because) of it. =)
There are a few others I like so far... Danny, who WILL be approved by the uber!christians (though I like him anyway - hee)... and that awesome little red headed teen from last week, Alison something? Dorky kid in the interviews but serious pipes on stage. I'll see if I add any more tonight.
Gotta check out the GD reviews tonight, but yay for good ones. Is it single time yet? These last few weeks aren't going any faster than the last four years, man. *bounces*

Oh yeah, Danny Deadwife already has the evangelical Christian vote wrapped up. By the way, did you know his wife died? The interesting thing is apparently Danny and Adam are actually friends and roommates. I can totally see TPTB setting up Clean Cut Boy Next Store vs. Wild Goth (gay) Guy as the finale.
And there is already a website set up to pray for Adam -- and not in a good way. Good God people, get a life.
There really isn't anyone in tonight's group that I'm excited about seeing. Maybe I'll be surprised.

Danny sure took a lot of crap for the dead wife bit...and yet, I don't think he had much control over that. The producers love picking up on a good sob story. I'm sure he'll continue to mention her in his interviews somewhat, but hopefully they've seen that there's such a thing as overkill in this stuff.
I could see a Danny and Adam finale, actually (almost typed Danny/Adam there, though I'm sure that'll happen somewhere too lol).
So what are they praying for for Adam, exactly? "Dear God, please to be smiting the gay dude?" Jeez.
Lemme know what you thought of last night. I think Lil is fantastic though that's clearly not my kind of music and I'd probably never listen to her, she struck me as a real, seasoned performer and not an idol contestant. Ju'not also stuck out for me last night (or however you spell his name). Those were my two pics for that group. I thought Von did okay, too. Whatsisname, hair-band wearing dude...wtf was that? The slow parts of the song were okay, but then all of a sudden, Meat Loaf goes cabaret! Bizarro.

Worse. The "please to be entering his heart and making him see the error of his sinful ways, and making him more like the way WE think EVERYONE should be."
In fairness to Danny, I think he realizes it's gone over the top, but frankly, he started it and he allowed it.
