A very good looking hobbit and....
A theatrical mix between Emo boy and a glam rocker from the 90's!
Yes, that really is a picture of Adam Lambert. Word to the wise: Don't Google his name... it ain't pretty! This is one thing about this season of American Idol that has been surprising to me. Typically the producers throw their "non-family-friendly" contestants under the bus. If they have a criminal record, if they have taken explicit or even questionable pictures, etc. But nothing has been said about Adam Lambert, other than he is the Musical Messiah! In my musical opinion, he is an amazing singer. He can hit any note effortlessly. However, when he really belts the power notes, his tongue hangs out like a dog sticking it's head out the car window. His over-dramatized performances have become as difficult to stomach as the Rocky Horror Picture Show...and no, I haven't actually seen Tim Curry in drag. But I have to ask myself, who's album would I actually buy? Easy answer.
Frodo Baggins...I mean, Kris Allen. Doesn't he have a hobbit-esque appearance, in an adorable boy next door kind of way? Although he doesn't have as wide of range as Adam, or all the bells, whistles, fireworks, eye-liner, he get's my vote. He has a cool, accoustic, style that reminds me of Jason Mraz, who I'm also a huge fan of. I have loved almost every performance, and he seems to be genuine, hard-working, and an average-everyday kind of person. He is definitely the underdog, Adam Lambert not only getting Bono's approval, but all of the judges and Katy Perry's endorsements. Hopefully, they'll all be shocked when Ryan Seacrest announces the "greatest upset in the history of American Idol"!

I completely agree!
When Adam Lambert first auditioned I thought "Holy cow, he's amazing!" I knew then that he'd go far. (I really could write a novel on this...) However---
I did make the mistake of googling his name. Unfortunately, it just confirmed my since-his-audition suspicions. As great as he is, and he is, I agree that he's not family friendly. I also agree that, as great as he is, and he is, I couldn't stand to listen to a whole album of it. He's absolutely incredible, but I think the judges got it wrong calling him a "rock god". He belongs in musical theater, where he came from.
Kris, on the other hand, with his crooked mouth, IS marketable. He's cute, family friendly, and easy to listen to.
So, I'm with you! Go Bilbo!
HE WON! Against all odds, and every celebrity endorsement for Adam, HE WON! Woo-hoo! I knew those pre-teen girls (my inner child) and stay-at-home moms (like me) that find him "oh-so-dreamy" (like I do!) would vote for him. Hooray, the country isn't as crazy as I was afraid!
And yes, Adam is amazing. He fit in well with the guys from KISS. A little too comfortable in the platform heels though...hmmm.. flash back to my google search. He will be successful, my guess Xanadu on broadway, or another future Boy George broadway production. Right?
Absolutely right!!
Couldn't believe Kris won, but I was soo glad! He's just so likable, you know? And he's from Arkansas, how cute is that?
