The homo is glad the other homo lost! I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! Just not my cup of tea at all. To each his own. I never saw Kris sing on the show, but whether he was good or not is really relative. But Idol is not always a matter of musical taste only. From what little I saw, Kris seemed likable. However, this year, there was an obvious bias.
Not even having watched the show, I can tell you that I was WELL aware of the bias from the judges as to who should win.
In my opinion, that is awfully unattractive. In my opinion, it all often comes down to that last night of voting. Until the finale, folks are voting for the contestant that they want to see continue.
But, I believe that on that last night, the dynamic changes. In the case of season two this might have happened. But again, I feel that Ruben and I were fairly matched. We both had our detractors and negatives, but I feel we were both very worthy of being on that stage in that moment, and either of us would have been worthy of winning. But, somewhere along the way, AI stopped being about real people. And because Aiken is a pop culture expert, he has a theory on why Kris won.
Our emphasis in bold. I think many were turned off by the blatant favoritism shown towards one contestant. Therefore, on that last night, they used their votes against a contestant that they were tired of hearing about and for the contestant who had been written off.
And, at the same time, I think they voted AGAINST an American Idol that has, for four years now, been more about the slick productions and polished contestants than it has been about finding the raw talent that it did in its first three seasons.
Will American Idol choose to listen to the resounding and clarion call that those voters gave them? I think they have gotten it right every year mine included. Well, Clay. Clay who? I think most people had pretty much forgotten he exists!
SOunds like he is a tad bit jealous to me. While Adam is a megastar and rockin out with the likes of Queen and KISS, Clay can just go on singing his show tunes and wallowing in envy.
I think Adam and Kris are gorgeous together!! Probably because he hid in the closet for years after the show, terrified of people knowing what was obvious… and then this other kid goes on the show, flamboyant and openly gay and confident in himself and gets tons of praise and fans?
Aiken was a coward, now he just sounds like a loser. Clay, for you, green must be the new black. PooF, be gone! Bye bye, you bitter little pill. What Miss Aiken is suggesting is that talent for the show should come from the streets, the sidewalks, the coffee houses of america where the untrained voice exists in a pure harmonic state of perfection, untouched and unscathed by commercialism, vocal training or high school theater. Miss Aiken you know, was originally trying out for the amazing race when a drag queen friend suggested that his eyebrows would look better on american idol.
The rest is history. Old history. Miss Aiken can comment, but lets not forget, she is known to lie. Funny how all the old alumni show up around final time looking for one more spray of limelight on their fading careers. Again, this may be a good sign for Adam. As a former AI contestant, I know how difficult it can be for some of the public to understand what we go through. You just like me, am allowed to express my personal view — I think Adam Lambert has come a long way and I wish him nothing but the best.
He was a runner up, like me and we have more in common then most people think. With a good PR team he has a measure for success. And if he reaches out for me, I would only be too happy to help guide his career in the right direction. Since AI, I have gone on to produce 4 records, performed on and off broadway, been a guest on several comedy shows, am working on a documentary, I am a UNICEF Ambassador and I donate my time, and music to various charitable causes all while controlling my career and my family.
Anyone calling me bitter, better have the words and the background to back it up. Clay Aiken : Is that really you? Thanks for coming. And yes, I mean it. I always like to clarify how people perceives me. Go on Clay Akin, tell the truth! The bitter, petty posters here have an issue with anyone who does not walk and talk the way they do, and, its good to see someone who has been dissed to come here with the truth and facts, something seldom appears on this site for readers who talk every thread as nothing but the truth.
And I suck dick for the protein. Dabq : atdleft : dudes. Well Golleee Sarge. Lookit all the Lambert fans in high umbrage over Clay not being the big Adam fan the tabloids said he was.
His blog was about the fact that AI is going down hill to the detriment of the contestants and the viewers while they make more money and deliver less of the actual competition. Idol watchers should be just as pissed off about it.
Before his blog was made public you were complaining about the same things he said were wrong with the show. Calm down, Adam will be OK. The rest of his blog is spot on. By the way he has sung exactly one show tune since and that was while he spent 8 months on Broadway in Spamalot. He earned 2. More than Chris Daughtry, more than any other male graduate of the show.
Not too shabby if you ask me. Adam has done some cabaret and was a chorus boy in the touring company of Wicked. Soon after the loss, he put out the album Measure of A Man, which had five Top 10 hits, per Billboard. Aiken, a foster father, came out publicly in Meanwhile, Lambert has a similar Idol story, sailing through his season with an unstoppable voice and glam-rock edge, but losing to the more milquetoast Kris Allen. Lambert has since become the frontman for Queen and put out multiple successful albums, similarly coming out publicly — but immediately after his season, per Rolling Stone.
With these commonalities maybe fewer as of late, but we'll get to that , it seems like the two would be friends or even cordial. Apparently not. Aiken is no fan of Lambert's — or at the very least, the two have a spotted history. I am sure that some were upset by my choice of words describing my opinion of a performance I heard from Adam Lambert. I hope no one actually believed that blood truly poured forth from my ears when I heard him.
I obviously meant it as a colorful statement to imply that I did not enjoy what I heard. Any performer hopes that their music will appeal to all people, but no singer realistically expects it to. He does what he does, because he enjoys it, and he obviously has many fans who enjoy it as well. If what I said in my previous blog regarding my impression of a single performance from Adam upset or offended any of his fans, I expect that the mature ones will realize that it was simply a poorly worded metaphor describing my personal tastes.
