Now that this season’s American Idol competition is down to the top 3 finalists (after last night’s elimination), the battle to become the new American Idol is getting down to the wire … tho, Entertainment Weekly magazine seems to think that the competition is already a done deal. They don’t come out and declare a winner, per se, but by singling out one of this season’s contestants and putting HIM on the cover of their magazine they seem to be making a clear statement. It’s as if EW is saying, Here is your new American Idol … Adam Lambert:
Yes, pretty much everyone on the planet seems to think that Adam Lambert has got the title in the bag but I don’t know that any publication has made this sort of determination so early before a winner is selected. EW even mentions that fact that Adam “might be gay” on their cover which, it seems to me, appears to be the footnote anytime anyone talks about Adam‘s possible win as the new American Idol. I don’t even watch the show but I’m aware of all the lurve that Adam is getting from everyone … it just seems kinda shitty to the other contestants that he is being singled out by a mag like EW before the competition is even over. In any event, I’m sure Mr. Lambert will benefit greatly from this bit of major press … not that he needs it. I understand that he is the most exciting, most charismatic AI contestant to come along in years. I guess we’ll see if his reputation can live up to the hype when the new American Idol is crowned in a couple of weeks. What do y’all think … do YOU think Adam Lambert has the competition in the bag?
Adam will not win…the very reason he got the cover. America isn’t ready, regardless of his talent. Running it now provides fodder for the heated debates sure to be waged the morning after. Brilliant move by EW. In the unlikely event he doesn’t lose, EW still wins since they were first to scoop Lambert.
Don’t be coy people….just say what you really mean. Save me the time of translating for you-
@Nettie
“Too theatrical for comfort…” = Do they have to flaunt it
“Too cringe worthy to watch…” = Gays disgust me
Will his “theatricality translate as an artist” = Who’s gonna buy a f*gs records? (just ask Liberace)
@April
“He annoys me” = God hates f*gs.
“I’m not an Adam fan at all” = I loathe gays.
“WISHING he would just go home” = May god strike him down.
@Carolina
“He is not relevant ” = Who cares about stupid f*gs.
“His career will not take off” = Red states/Walmart/Iran/Fox will boycott
@Kellene
“Go scream on Broadway some more” = Shut up f*g.
Thanks for those fine gems ladies!
Remember, beauty is where you find it. And if you haven’t found it, ask yourself why? The truth will set you free.
Can’t See the Light, just because people don’t like Adam, doesn’t mean they’re homophobic. There’s a level of taste I think Adam is still lacking and others see that too. That’s got nothing to do with his being gay. Personally I adore Adam, but to me, he’s still a little green, just like the other two up there. Let go of your cynicism and hatred, it’s not healthy.
I think Adam Lambert is one of the best singers I have ever heard – he has been compared to Freddy Mercury, Elvis and Elton John. I think he has shown his superior talent in not only rock but beautiful ballads as well. He is by far the most exciting contestant on AI ever. I don’t think it matters at all if he is gay or not (it should never matter) – he is superb. I don’t believe he has it in the bag – Kris has the tweens, Danny is good and they both fit a certain mold that America likes which is incredibly disappointing. No matter what, I have no doubt he will have a stellar career.
adam for the win
he won this competition from the auditions!! no one is even close to the talent, looks, entertainment value, likeability….do i need to go on?? i can’t wait until he wins!!! go adam!!! i love you!!!
Some of these blogs are unbelievable. Adam sounds the same every week? Don’t they mean Danny. How about “Mad World”,”Ring of Fire”,”Feeling Good”, all with his own artistic touch. How about his” knock your socks off” Rock performance The guy is a musical genious with vocal skills that don’t quit. He delivers on every song, every week and it is a joy to listen to him. That is why the judges love him and so does everyone else in America who isn’t deaf. His charismatic delivery is mesmerizing and engaging. He is an American Idol and should surely win.

I am amazed at the jealous few that say Adam screeches. Adam is the only really talented singer left on American Idol. Allison was a gifted singer that should have outlasted Gookey and Allen, but alas that was not to be. She will however, along with Adam become a major player in the recording business. I cannot say the same for either Danny or Kris, even though Kris has a nice voice. What is Danny going to record, a collection of Taylor Hicks biggest hits?
seriously i just think it would be way too predictable if he wins.. i dont like him i think that he just do things to get attention, i mean he’s obvs talented but i dont think he’s natural at all.. like he is tryin to be/look/act like someone he’s not just to win this…
I hope Adam loses! I’m tired of his overly-hype eposure and that screaming-banshee-voice!
The over-rated publicity will definitely back-fire!!
He’s like chips deep fried in over-used pork fat!!
umm.. is it just me or does he sound like Muse every time he performs? I think that’s why he’s winning… plus he kinda looks like he could be edward cullen.
Muse—>Twilight—->Tweens—-> win AI
I love gays and I hate Adam. (specifically directed to “can’t see the light”… that is such an ignorant thing to say. Saying that people don’t like adam just because he is gay is beyond stupid) He is so screechy and just ugh. I like his voice when he actually sings but when he gets to those high points i fast forward. It is just bad. That being said. I hope he wins haha. I want Gokey to have more freedom to choose what he wants to do after idol and the same goes for Kris.
I lvoe Adam, and he definitely deserves to win. But I kinda hope he DOESN’T win the whole shabang. I think American Idol might try to make him into something he’s not. If he does win, and they do make a rock record, it’ll probably be the wimpiest rock record possible. I think he’d be better off doing his own thing with an actual band, him on vox. Simple as that. That lame Kris guy should win. He’s not very good. But he’s moderate, and the girls lurve him.
Adam and Allison were my favs. I personally wanted Allison to win because Adam will have a career no matter what
adam ur so!!!!!!!!!!!!!hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1and also amazing in singing!!! im addicted to you!!!!! you rock on!!!!
i bet you but you did not won!!!!!sayang naman!!!
