Laying out what’s on my mind because telepathy is unavailable

Open letter to American Idol watchers…

Seriously? Kris Allen? Really?

I mean he’s palatable, I guess, as a coffeehouse-”The Blend”-VH1 Classic-Jack Johnson kind of singer. At least that’s what I see and hear.

But American Idol? Really?

I don’t see it. Today. Tomorrow. Any other day of the week.

I gotta say that the bloom is off the rose for Danny Gokey, too. He’s light-years ahead of Kris vocally. Probably not as good of a performer, but that can be taught. He needed to be ganked just for that last note on Dream On. Oof.

I don’t know how this isn’t Adam Lambert’s show to lose. Seriously. Unless all the voters are Gokey and Allen enthusiasts–or Taylor Hicks speed dialing at the speed of light trying to validate his win–Lambert has to win. Especially after that performance on a Zep song. If he does anything by Queen next week, it’s over. Queen seems to be the ultimate standard, outside of Zeppelin, for rockers. If he sings it, the others can go home. They’ll have good careers–there are no losers on these shows. But, damn. Really, America. Be honest with yourselves.
