Easy Lefty! Some of them were graceful about it and wished Kris well.

But others... not so much maybe.

20 pages of chatter! That's brutal! That's...

From the moment I posted my first Idol review where I called out Danny voters for not listening to his singing (because it was HORRIBLE throughout the competition...) and I had the audacity to say that Lambert was way overrated and fake, I was attacked left and right by a handful of you Glambert fanatics. You people act as if you speak for the nation, when in reality, there were a heck of a lot more people who liked Kris than Adam. Think maybe there's a reason for that? Kris had no help from the producers or Simon going on Oprah and saying he'd win...he won fair and square.

...I'd say it's been fun, but it's really just been a distraction to help my day move along more quickly. Thanks to the dozen or so different people who've given my reviews positive feedback, they were meant for you.
But you're moving on anyway, so... it's been real.

I liked her last night! That was great! LOL But, I'm not sure she added anything special and performances had to be cut in a singing competition.

Well I hate to admit this, but you sort of have to give credit to Simon, Paula, Kara, and Randy. Kara was quite the "Sorry sweetie, you're not gonna make it" gal in the auditions. What would it take to get Paula to say that?

I'd perfectly fine with Paula going and Kara staying. Wouldn't Paula be better off judging one of the dance shows? She's a choreographer before a singer, right?

A rare and true talent if there ever was one in an "amateur". Thing is, he has consistently performed better than the best of professionals out there. And will of course go on to be very successful. Lil Kris...well, he may be Bland America's favorite for awhile, but really doesn't have the talent, fortitude or staying power needed to be anything more than a passing fancy and sympathy vote. He may make it okay in C&W, that's about it. Not that there aren't a few very good C&W talents, i.e. Alan Jackson. But in general, the voice quality and real talent doesn't need to be there for that genre. Anyone notice Simon Cowell's disgust and disappointment, what a sour face! Am sure he won't keep his mouth shut about it. Maybe a more fair way to "judge" talent is for the mediocre audience to only have a percentage in the voting and leave the true judging to those who have an ear for it. But then it wouldn't be America's "idol" would it?

So because Adam didn't float everyone's boat, they are mediocre and have a bland listening ear? Wow, kinda judgemental don't you think? Adam seems to be taking his loss alot better than some of his fans.

I will be passing through the room soon with a big bottle of prescription strength chill pills. Some of you will be encouraged to take a double dose along with a big gulp of "It's a TV show" tonic. Until then, please don't hurt yourselves.
