AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 9 : WHAT A FARCE!

Three words to describe the season : WHAT A FARCE!

I hate myself...why did I have to turn on the TV and watch the final performance on Tuesday? My entire day has been ruined just because I decided to jump on the American Idol bandwagon on the last day.

I have not watched a single American Idol Season since Fantasia Burino won in Season (not sure which was it) but that was A LONG TIME AGO.

Somehow, something told me to turn on the TV and watch Adam Lambert sing in the finals...I've been hearing some murmurs here and there about how good he was and I knew I had to at least hear him sing at least once...

And my....what an amazing talent...for those who have not seen Adam sing, please go find, whatever way you can, a clip of his final song....No Boundaries...this was the original composition written to be sung by both the finalist..

I would gladly share it with anyone who wants it...once I get my hands on it first...

This guy is a born performer, I mean he can sing a phone book and make it sound good......he was all poise, confidence and his delivery was superb....he had a fantastic voice, the right moves and he was original and to say he owned the stage is a gross understatement...

Mind you, this was the first time I was watching Adam sing....only 3 songs and I was sold...completely sold....completely blown away...

There was no way on this earth that Kris Allen could win...don't get me wrong, Kris is a great talent in his own right...but seriously, does America need another "dime-a-dozen" guitar struming crooner? America needs someone special...someone different...isn't that what American Idol is all about?

Give me any of the songs which Kris sang in the competition and I can find at least a 100 current artiste out there who can deliver it much better than Kris...

So why pick Kris to win? He will not sell any albums, he will be forgotten just like the rest of the AI also-rans like Rubben, Clay, Fantasia....

America needs someone different, someone who can stand out with the rest of the current singers, bands...someone who can sell records...someone who is versatile.....

But no.....Kris Allen won today....I threw away my TV remote in disgust at exactly 8.50am this morning when the results were announced...

As I marched out of the room declaring aloud that I wasn't going to watch this anymore...that was when Kris Allen was starting to brutally massacre (again) the song "No Boundaries", Terelle was skipping into the room and loudly asking Mummy...why is Daddy angry with this man?

I'm sorry Kris...I ain't angry with you...I think you're a great guy but you were OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE against Adam and i think you know it too...

So on hindsight, did Kris win because he was a worship leader in some church, and had the backing of the entire congregation of Christians in America?

Or was it because Adam was overwhelming favorite to win and his supporters were complacent and did not pull their weight and make enough calls to vote for him?

I read in some article that from the start of the final 12 rounds, this was labelled as the Adam Lambert show...the rest of the 11 finalists were mere "guest stars" on his show...so maybe America did not like his sweeping popularity and decided to punt for the underdog?

Or was it simply because America did not like his controversial "gender confused" personality, especially with his "suspected gay" photographs making their rounds over the internet?

Whatever the reason, I'm very, very dissapointed with the ending, bordering on disgusted...

American Idol is a show about talent, musical talent...it's not about religion, color, background, social life, qualifications...no...it's about musical talent...

Adam Lambert is in every way, the true deserving winner of American Idol Season 9...I will challenge anyone out there who thinks otherwise and I will personally challenge anyone who thinks Kris Allen is better and more deserving -> I want to see you buy his first album when it hits the shelf...put your $ where your mouth is...

For me..I will spend my last $20 of the month on Adam's first album....that is my personal commitment to Adam...

I wish him all the best in his singing career...in any case, the runner-ups to this competition usually come out much better in their careers than the winners.

He will forever have a fan and convert in me, which is something he might never come to know, but for that one moment in time when I heard him sing that song...I was forever a Adam Lambert fan.
