Adam Lambert performs with Kiss on American Idol finale.

Well, another season of  American Idol has come and gone.  Your winner, after an alleged record setting almost 100,000,000 votes,  is:  THE GUY WHO ISN’T ADAM LAMBERT!!!  Oh,  yeah,  Kris Allen is his name.  Judge Simon Cowell had said that if Adam Lambert did not make it to the “Finals”, then it would have been one of the biggest upsets in the show’s history.  Well, Adam, of course made it to the finals along with season-long  “dark horse”,  um,  what was his name again?  Oh, yeah, Kris Allen.  Well,  after sitting through almost 2 hours of  musical guests and performances by the  “Final 10″, who will be coming to a town near you, we got the results.  Adam Lambert did not win.  Simon Cowell himself,  did not even stand with Randy, Paula or Kara for the ovation when Kris Allen’s name was announced as the winner Wednesday night.  I could see the look of disappointment on Simon’s face as he sat there.  This show is not about who has the best talent anymore.  I cannot wait to hear what Simon has to say.  I would not blame him if he just walked off the show, period.  Let’s see the other three judges handle it without him.  We know Kara will be back next season.

I know there are certain people and websites out there that are loving every minute of  Adam Lambert’s  loss, and you know who you are!   If  the fact that Adam Lambert is “Allegedly” homosexual, or the pictures that surfaced of him on the internet had any effect on the outcome,  we’ll probably never know,  but  it definately was NOT because of his singing that he came in second.  There were two highlights in Wednesday night’s show for me.  Adam Lambert singing with rock icons  KISS and Adam Lambert singing with the legendary  group “QUEEN”.   But, for the most part,  the usual time wasting drivel the show is known for.  As host Ryan Seacrest said at the end of Tuesday night’s performance finale,  “Wednesday’s show will go long, so those of you who record it, make sure you set your DVRs accordingly”.   And, of course, it went long.  Again.

Kris Allen may be 2009′s American Idol,  and I wish him every success,  but Adam, if you ever see this blog, coming in second ain’t so bad.   Can you say Clay Aiken???

Happy viewing!
