Curious as to how such a standout entertainer could lose, I surfed the net. There was a lot of speculation, and it seemed to be all from other Glamberts. (Note: A Glambert is an Adam Lambert fan.) Kris Allen fans were silent, at least at the sites I visited. However, the four most prevalent theories I found regarding Adam’s loss were as follows:
1. Americans are idiots. (Hey, didn’t Green Day already sing about that?)
2. Christians turned AI into a religious competition.
3. Danny Gokey’s votes went to Kris due to their similar styles.
4. Adam was too flamboyant and had questionable sexual preferences. (Really? There was a question?)
First, I don’t think Americans are idiots, even the ones whose opinions differ from mine. (Okay, okay, maybe a few.) Second, I hope that my fellow Christians are capable of voting for a musical preference and not a religious one. Third, for Kris Allen’s sake, I hope all of his votes were based on his talent and not his position as fall-back. And last, the idea that a huge talent like Adam Lambert was voted down because he might be gay or bi-sexual is troubling. Who cares what his preferences are, and why is it anyone’s business? This is a singing competition, and man, can he belt out a song.
Aside from all of that, he’s adorable, even with the hedgehog hair and guyliner. The only other man I know of who looks that good in black liner is Johnny Depp, so Adam is in pretty good company.
For all of you Kris Allen lovers out there I say, “Congratulations!” and “What were you thinking?” To my fellow Glamberts I say, “The best is yet to come!” and “Am I the only one who thinks Adam looks like a space age Elvis?”
Til next time,
Lisa
