Idol Stays Straight

If you didn't catch the LIVE finale of American Idol (and missed the replay too), countless Facebook statuses surely must have already given it away. Yes, thank the Lord for people fond of stating the obvious on Facebook.

It came as a shock to many, a relief to some, and well, personally, some just didn't give a rat's ass. So, the judge's personal favorite, Adam Lambert actually wasn't crowned the new American Idol. After everyone, including Jimmy Kimmel, Simon Cowell and a whole other bunch of people expressed their confidence in Adam bagging the title, the not-so-worshiped Kris Allen is the new American Idol. What does this say? I'm guessing not many people were keen on a non-straight guy winning it and maybe the fact that majority of the voters are tween girls could have been the cause too.

Yipee-Ka-Yay. What does Kris Allen winning possibly mean? Well, it means more typical yawn-along songs VERY VERY much similar to that of David Cook or Daughtry. Yeap, if Adam had won, we could've expected something a whole lot more different. Adam was a pioneer, he could take any song and "pimp" the Hell out of it and still make it sound originally awesome.

I'm definitely not looking forward to his album, and heck, I've actually never been a fan of any single idol contestant. But this year, that changed when Adam took the stage. I'd have to call it the most interesting American Idol season so far. Oh well, he's bound to come up with an album anyway, so there's something to look forward to.
