TEAM ADAM!

First off let me just say that both Kris and Adam are extremely talented singers and both deserve their top two spots. Actually, I would have taken either Kris or Danny in the top two next to Adam and been happy because Danny is also great. But, hands down, I think that Adam should win this season.

When I think “American” Idol I think of somebody that can sing well in any number of genres and while Kris has a fantastic voice, if you take him out of his comfort zone, he struggles. Adam can sing whatever you throw at him, make it his own, add in some creative theatrics and keep pretty much any audience entertained.

That said, I’ve been pretty disgusted with the mainstream media lately (I’ll save my John & Kate rant for another post but seriously, you have 8 kids and try not to come across as a complete bitch sometimes! OMGSERIOUSLY!) and the fact that this season has become more about OMG IS ADAM GOING TO BE THE FIRST “OUT” GAY IDOL!? When it should be OMG THIS GUY IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE HISTORY OF THE SHOW.

I wanted to know a bit more about his background today so I googled his name and 6 of the 14 links were either news stories or blog posts questioning his sexuality and I sat there and got even more pissed than I already was about this topic. HALF the stories. When searching for Kris Allen 0 of 14 were about the fact that he’s a STRAIGHT MAN and 1 was about ADAM being gay. I honestly can’t even believe that it’s 2009 and this is still happening because here’s the thing: HOW HE CHOOSES TO “TUNE HIS ROD” HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW WELL HE SINGS! Frankly, I’m embarrassed for “America” that this even has to be addressed.

I also love how people use the “eyeliner” issue to dance around the “gay” issue without actually addressing it directly. Like, “He wears EYELINER. THAT’s not right! I can’t vote for a guy that wears EYELINER. Eww.”

Male singers/groups I know off the top of my head that wear eyeliner/makeup:
Ozzy Osbourne
KISS
My Chemical Romance
Pete Wentz
Bret Michaels

You get the idea. All of them have HUGE male followings. So seriously, people. Stop being bigoted assholes and just ENJOY THE MUSIC.

Anyway, TEAM ADAM all the way and I still have high hopes for a few of the Idols. All in all, this year was one of the best and I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of a few of the top 12 in the future.

  1. “Frankly, I’m embarrassed for “America” that this even has to be addressed” A-FREAKIN’-MEN. I don’t watch AI, but I have seen a few glimpses of Adam and have seen some of the “controversy” surrounding his sexuality. And to that I say, so the hell what? What does his sexual orientation have to do with his kick-ass talent? Absolutely nothing!

  2. I’m with Jenn, it’s kind of ridiculous that it’s even a subject of concern for like every media outlet.

    I feel the exact opposite about their talent. I think Kris is mainstream. I think Adam is good at what he’s good at and it’s not going to translate well to the studio. I’d love to see him live, I want to go to the concert this year because he’s so entertaining.

    I do love Adam, I liked him at the start of LA week and then his constant screeching got to me, then I really started to like him again. When I saw him with KISS and Queen I thought he’d be wonderful as lead singer for both groups. But I really like Kris and that’s my type of music and I’d totally buy his cd, or download the music because I don’t buy cd’s.

    I honestly think the best man won considering the original song they had to sing sucked banana hammocks.
