American Idol Finale Best Moment: Kris Allen and Adam Lambert singing Queen
I could have just avoided the final moments of hearing who won American Idol this year. The performance from Adam Lambert and Kris Allen to the Queen We are the Champions was just amazing. I had to watch it over about 20 times it was so good. They looked into each others eyes almost like they were in love. It was like the Brokeback Mountain meets American Idol. It was breathtaking. Then in the end they got broke up with a sad ending where the gay did not win but maybe we did afterall…because WE are the Champions. The lead singer of Queen who died of HIV/AIDS and the powerful song was symbolic of our struggle and I feel the show was more about how far Adam Lambert came.
I’m not a big Amerian Idol fan. I only watched this season for Kris Allen and Adam Lambert and I liked the chick with the tattoos and Matt Giraud. This season was by far the best season ever of Idol. But it really was Adam Lambert who made American Idol exciting this year it would have been a boring show without him. Danny Pokey Gokey was nothing more than a Karoke cruise ship singer who seemed like a nice guy but him and some of the others really had no business being in the top 10.
America eagerly awaited for Adam Lambert’s next creative showing each week which normally outdid the others and outdid himself. It was the growing talent he had which we all desire on one of these reality shows and we all knew in our hearts he should have won but had that dark feeling that he probably will not win because most of America is still too set in their ways. It came down to what Suze Orman predicted on twitter: Suze Orman tweeted that Kris Allen would get Danny Gokeys votes and Adam will lose. She was right. Although what is a finance lady doing talking about American Idol– haha no wonder were in a recession lol. OK, love you Suze. And by the way Suze was for Adam.
Not only was the gay communities biggest hero Suze Orman for Adam but Katy Perry went out of her way to show her support. Katy Perry came on Idol and flashed an Elvis outfit with Adam Lambert embrodered on the back. Katy was performing her new Vegas song which will be a big hit in gay clubs this Summer I can assure you that! Such good timing since Vegas pride is going on while she rolls out her Vegas song!
Simon was also behind Adam to win Idol. He did not look too happy when the winner was announced. Maybe it was the vote against gays or the momentum the religious right has built up from Miss California’s hate against us. Maybe it was just the fact that Kris Allen is cute as a button and acted so gay friendly that gays even voted for him. In the end, Adam had the better voice and could out sing Kris but they were really two different types of performers. So the right thing to do should have been for Kris to say hey this is a tie. I am giving my award to both of us.
The gays already lost with Clay Aiken losing to Ruben Studdard. There is no way in hell Ruben was better than Clay Aiken at that point anyway. Clay Aiken was clean cut though and never had the creative energy we see with Adam Lambert.
It is no surprise that a gay got that far in any competition. I mean if you really think Benji from So You Think You Can Dance is straight or Travis for that matter then think again. Look at most of Hollywood and you will see lots of gays in the closet. The sad thing is that they want us to put on an act for them 100% of the time and live our lives for them. If gay marriage does become legal I will not be living my life for the religious right people to live how they think I should live. I will still be my creative, innovative, ambitious, fun, passionate self and I hope everyone else does too. So don’t go closing down the nightclubs I will be out to dance!
As for the rest of the Idol show it was mostly great. Rod Stewart scared me a few times I thought he was going to fall over with his drunken walk. What was the deal with Fergie and the black eyed peas they seemed to cut away from that performance with the Idol logo and some type of time delay as if something was said after she sung the word “staggered”. Was she predicting Rod Stewart staggering around? The time delay part was strange or it was a major technical error.
It was great to see Cyndi lauper perform although I would have loved to her one of her newer songs that were big hits in our community last year. My top moments of the night were Adam Lambert singing with KISS, Queen performance with Kris and Adam, and Kara DioGuardi singing to Mariah and bearing some skin for us.
Kara DioGuardi was the sexiest thing on the stage last night. It was hot to see her show some skin and that black bikini thong. You go girl! I earned lots of respect for Kara with that performance.
Adam should have won but he will most likely sell more records than Kris Allen anyway. Someone like Adam Lambert probably does not want the American Idol contract… he probably wants to do his own thing anyway which is why he was pleased from the results on his facial expressions. He was probably thinking “thank God!” Kelly Clarksen has been trying to change her image from the Idol winner for years.
They plan to go on tour this fall but I will just wait for Adam Lambert’s tour in a few years when its not the rest of them. Until then it’s Green Day, No Doubt, and Beyonce on tour! If you live in Europe you can even catch Madonna.
I totally missed the final, hope they repeat it! x
