Music feat Tooth

It has been a couple of days since the shock and awe wore off of the American Idol Season 8 Finals. As most fans and even work force water cooler hall monitors know Kris Allen received more of the 100 Millions fan votes than Heir Apparent Adam Lambert to take this years American Idol Crown.

Did Idol get it right? No, not only no, Hell No.

Kris Allen has talent, He did well, should he have won. NO, Nadda, Nein, Nope. If you saw the reaction of Simon Cowell, sitting in his seat as the announcement of Kris became official and the rest of the judges giving a standing ovation, you would know as well that Idol Did Not get it right. Simon Cowell’s reaction and steadfast actions spoke volumes. The night before Simon Cowell declared Adam Lambert the winner in his own words and judgment.

Was this the straw that broke the Lambert sweeping of the Finals? Was it the Vote for the Worst crowd, or was it the potential homophobia about Adam Lambert’s sexuality that reduced his vote total? Or does the conspiracy go deeper than this?

Do our votes even get counted or considered? Do the powers that be at Simon Fuller’s 19 Management make the decisions regardless of the millions of text messages and 1-866 number call ins? According to TV.com story they are suggesting that Kris Allen’s win was a business decision.

Granted Adam Lambert has millions of fans that will support his efforts and is destined to be a significant star based upon his talent. Kris Allen could only go so far without the Idol Title. Controversy has never been a negative for American Idol. It seems to create it, welcome it, and thrive by it every year.

Conspiracy theorists , Illuminati, Free Mason and the Smoking Man from the former X-files show, must sit down at the beginning of the season an Plot their Controversy. Controversy sells, Controversy keeps people talking, writing, and keeping the Idol machine rolling.

Is it a bad thing? Hell Yes. How many times will American get slapped in the face before finally turning away instead of turning the other cheek? We as fans were taken aback when Chris Daughtry was booted in the Final forth round in Season 5. We crawled back and took the forgettable season 6 as Melinda Doolittle left American Idol in the 3rd spot. We watched as ringers with former recording contracts and albums invaded season 7. We saw the travesty of a mockery of a shame results this year.

Will we be back? Yes. Because we love this crap. We talk about this crap, and this crap pays the bills ( thank you sponsors). But are we truly happy with this years results?

NO!!
