Wow. That’s right America. Vote for the most forgettable. What a bunch of shallow half-witted tweens who vote for the boy-next-door with questionable vocal prowess. I don’t even know what to say on this matter any more. Well apparently people now use their eyes to listen instead of their ears. I’m amazed by this phenomenal evolution.
But somehow I’ve seen it coming. I mean, the majority of voters are hormonal tweens, a.k.a 12 year old girls who have too much time to spare voting their asses off for the next cover guy. Or maybe the voting system was rigged. I don’t know and frankly, I no longer care even though I voted for Adam yesterday, the first time I voted for a contestant since I first got hooked to the show in Season 4 (yet another season which produced a terrible Idol, I can’t see why Carrie is so barbarically popular).
I suppose that part of the reason Kris is the current Idol *note heavy sarcasm* is because Americans are so ridiculously homophobic that they can’t look past their prejudice to see talent. That sentence was beautifully phrased by Alyssa on the American Idol fan page on Facebook. I couldn’t agree more.
I came across this really appropriate banner on votefortheworst.com
Anyway I really don’t have much left to say regarding this issue. Even Simon was practically speechless when the winner was announced. Adam is, and will always be, a world icon, whereas the newly crowned ‘Idol’ will be a Kris Who? in a matter of months, if not weeks. Like Season 5 for instance. Taylor Who? The fact remains that Chris Daughtry went platinum after just 5 weeks of release.
So here I am, waiting eagerly for Adam’s debut album/single. I’m also waiting for Kris’ album, so I can leave it in the sun for hours then play it on the radio for comic relief. Oh wait, I forgot. He already sounds like his record’s been left in the sun for too long. I believe William Hung sells more records than him, at least William’s memorable and amusing =)
Rock on, Adam.
P/S : I am not an uncivilized Kris hater. I just don’t think it’s fair that a person who didn’t deserve it won.
