I'd like to blame everyone for talking non-stop about Adam Lambert on American Idol. I'm not a viewer of Idol shows (apart from a brief flirtation with one season of Australian Idol). But I'd checked out a couple of videos during the season when they were mentioned on my f-list. The other weekend, I had some time and bandwidth to kill, so I downloaded all of Adam's performances, and watched a few interview things, and yes, he's hot and fabulous and I really like his voice (though he needs learn to step away from the screechiness - reminds me of Christina Aguilera, just because you can sing something doesn't mean you should).

But what I've really lost my heart to is Idolatory on ew.com - I've watched the entire season. I think I found my way to the Adam interview (which was great) and then checked out the show. Now that's how you watch American Idol - with bitchy funny commentary, and scenes from movies appropriately subtitled interspersed throughtout. Put the go in Gokey! Strike a blow for possibly gay rights!

And inspired by their adoration of her (save the rocker!) and the clips I saw, I downloaded all of Allison Iraheta's songs, and how fucking awesome is she? How does a 17 year old have a voice like that? She's battling with Adam in my affections - they need to do many more duets. And her singing with Cyndi Lauper in the finale was awesome.

TWOP recaps seconded! They are their own singular art form and nobody describes Adam better.

Like he's in a musical about funky white people, with one hand on his squirrel, making strange plosive sounds with his mouth, twirling on the stage, twisting the time signature around and around like it's stuck in a Topsy Tail, screaming on his knees he will sing it. It's kind of like church, if church were a discotheque full of snakes. At the end he is so out of control he's like WOOOOO! Not of his own volition, and Paula is actually on her stomach wriggling toward him.

So I see :D
