And Your American Idol IS...
Exactly who you knew it would be, no matter what you told yourself.
Don't worry, no emoetry, no long winded rants, just a bit of venting. Kris played it well, didn't he? Just inoffensive enough to stick around, and then near the end when it mattered he played the "Oh yeah you guys? I can sing!" card.
I just... I thought that after Obama maybe we were ready for some more change, you know? And yeah, we can go in circles about American Idol mattering, but the truth is it's the top show in this country and one run by our votes (even if only seemingly/conspiracy theorist). So it matters because it represents who we are and what are tastes are and for several years in a row our tastes are bland, milquetoast, marginally acceptable pop. I think the most controversial winner so far has been Fantasia (and no, Taylor Hicks doesn't count. My GOD he sucks).
The thing is this: Adam's going to be filthy rich/successful. He's a glam rock god resurrected from the ashes of Bowie/Mercury/Elton/etc. We know this, so regardless of whether he won, he's going to be fine. Only he needed to win. He had to, because that would let you know that for once we're ready to freaking move on and stop letting the scary things about Lambert and what they say about us stay hidden, you know? Maybe? Bleh.
I will say that this will probably be my last year of Idol. So much so that I'm thinking about going to the concert to give a final farewell, in fact, the only reason I got so into it this year was because a friend made me watch Normund Gentle and in the process I saw a young firestarted sing his face off with some "Satisfaction" and I thought "...WTF was that?!" Instant love, and it hasn't died a bit.
I wish you the best Adam, I'll always say that you and Tasia are my favorite idols and I'll mean it. I'll actually pay money for your CD! Now you know it's love ;) Can't wait to see you on tour!
