Did America get it wrong again with the new Idol?



So does the look on Kris's face sum it up or what? He is as shocked as the rest of us and look at Adam, just as gracious as always. I have to say I am once again a disappointed viewer. I spent the entire season glued to the tv on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings waiting to see Adam perform. I thought about when I first began watching Idol, I saw a little of the debotacle of Ruben Studdard and didn't go back til Taylor Hicks which in my mind was a huge disappointment. What is it about the American public that they can't seem to get this right? Don't get me wrong Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, David Cook all great choices but this was Season 8, so that means that out of 8 they only got it right 3 times, the rest of them.....no thanks. They are talented people in their own right but not American Idol's.


Now Adam Lambert, from the moment I saw him I couldn't believe he had not been discovered yet. Every week, week after week he showed up with the most dynamic performances. Not once did I think he could be beat and certainly not by Kris. Not even Kris thinks he desires this title, isn't that telling. What is it America? Why can't you get this right?


Adam I have no doubt you will be a fabulous superstar, your grace and humble presence will continue to astound us all. Nail polish or no nail polish...I, for one will be watching and buying whatever you do! American Idol, I'd like to say I am done I can't watch anymore, but I know that by the time the Winter rolls around and the idea of at the very least being entertained is my option, I will be there. Maybe the 9th season will be a charm!
