AI 2009 Has a Winner and Could It All Be a Political Statement?

It's murmurered and screamed across the fruited plains that Adam Lambert was denied his Idol crown by the zealous Christians who did not like his sexuality.

Here we have the REAL reason Kris Allen won and while it is about marriage, it's not about Steve marrying Joe.

Another Surprise of a Winner!



It’s small consolation that there were plenty who agreed with my assessment that Adam Lambert would win the 2009 American Idol title handily. To include both Randy and Simon, judges of the contest, who also declared that the likely winner would be Adam.

As for me, I regularly complained about Kris’ performances, often lamenting that he was more the beloved of the pre-pubescent crowd than a singer of wild talent any more than, say, Anoop Desai.

Which, yon reader might argue, shows you what I know.



I urge yon discerning reader to not leave me empty and forfeit! If nothing else, stay tuned to this Blog that a reader will know that whoever I should nominate as the obvious winner will quite probably NOT be the winner and in its own way, that’s a form prescience, is it not?

I was wrong about Dancing With the Stars but with American Idol, I really disliked the winner and so asserted right along.

I have a question for yon reader.

WHERE THE HELL WAS KRIS ALLEN’S WIFE?

Hmmmmm?



Did anybody even know that the guy had a wife? Hell, I didn’t know this until another Blog reader informed me and it seems there’s a reason that a singer so beloved by the 12-14 year-old’s seemed to deliberately have any evidence of a wife kept from public view. Because the precious 12-14 year old crowd wouldn’t take kindly to any sort of wife object as I see it.

Don’t tell me that such as husbands and wives are carefully kept from the public. Chris Daughtry had a wife and she was not kept hidden. Sure the spouses are kept in the background; this is a fact of life for celebrities who might have fans with secret dreams of marrying their beloved star. Lil Rounds’ husband and kids were often featured in the audience of the 2009 American Idol audience. It was always Kris’ parents cheering him on in the AI theaters.

In the case of Kris Allen, his wife wasn’t even shown in any scene, not even during the show featuring the vaunted homecoming.

At any rate, the final performance night came and each final contender was charged with singing three songs. One was chosen by the American Idol producer, Simon Fuller. Another song was chosen by the contender himself from the pool of songs sung by each during the season. Finally, in an intriguing twist, each finalist sang a song co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi. It was interesting having each finalist sing the same song with the ability this brings for the viewer to compare the styles with this sort of competitive device.

Adam sang the song he performed during his birthweek, “Very Mad World”. He sported a very long, gothic type of coat with smokey visual effects. Randy gave him an A+.

Simon Fuller chose a bluesy Sam Cook tune, “It’s Been a Long Time Coming”, for Adam and surprisingly Adam sang it very well.

The song co-written by Kara, “There Are No Boundaries” was a ballad type of song, a genre way out of Adam’s league. I thought Adam sounded way better than Kris singing this tune although this song was right up Kris’ alley.

Kris chose the song “Ain’t No Sunshine” from his season’ repetoire and he played the piano. Simon Fuller had Kris sing “What’s Going On”, which Kris sang while playing the guitar. My husband said Kris sang that tune just awful and I thought so too. Simon Cowell said it sounded like three friends playing in the bedroom. Heh.

So there you have it. It’s not that Kris Allen isn’t a good singer. By the time this reality show gets down to the top five all of them are great singers.

I think that Adam Lambert had way more talent and that certain shining star quality that Kris did not possess.

But the teenyboppers have voted and I’m quite sure that Adam Lambert will go on to big things as well. It will be interesting to see which of these two turns out to be the bigger star.

My moneys on Adam Lambert.

Melissa Rycroft got rejected soundly by last year's Bachelor Jason Mesnick. But it's Jillian who moved on to The Bachelorette to find her soulmate from a pool of 30 at the start.

Did Jillian have some surgery since last season's The Bachelor?

Many argue that the Frenchman was the best dancer of the lot but the young Olympic Gold Medalist won the 2009 Dancing With the Stars crown.

A summary of the 2009 season and an excellent idea for the new season that came from my own fine mind.
