When Is Enough Enough With American Idol?

kris-allen-adam-lambert.jpg So we just had the showdown between Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on the finale of Season Eight of American Idol and I have to admit, despite media proclamations, this SHOULD  be a close race. But what I REALLY want to talk about here is the burning question of when is enough, enough with American Idol? The judges, the entire season, have been SO obvious in their idolistic adoration of Adam Lambert, it’s hard to imagine why the season was even allowed to continue. If the judges had their way they probably would’ve given the title to Adam weeks ago.

American Idol, Final Three

allison-iraheta.jpg Tonight, we say a sad farewell to Allison Iraheta off of the Idol stage, leaving the final three of Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Yes, I do call bullshit, but what can one do? The damage cannot be undone. However, I still believe that Allison will be bigger than any of those left. I still believe that she will own her career. She is a genuine rocker, and will spin this thing around quite quickly. If I could have picked a song for Allison to sing tonight to say goodbye? “So What” by Pink.

American Idol 4/28

Let me start by telling you, before I start my ramble about American Idol tonight, that we WILL be getting more writers for the site soon. Why am I telling you this? Well, I am pretty sure with the popularity of Adam Lambert, that you are getting kinda sick and tired of my rants about dislike for this guy. So, keep that in mind… new writers, many that love him just like you do, coming soon to a YakkityYaks near you.

Ok, time for my critique, not that I am the connoisseur, especially when it comes to Rat Pack night. I am a pure rocker chick at heart… so this one is a little hard for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Frank and Dean sometimes. But… FRANK and DEAN, not people singing Frank and Dean. I thought I was gonna be bored, and sometimes I was… just not as bored as I thought I would be. We will start with:

Kris Allen – The Way You Look Tonight – Kris did okay. I wasn’t overly impressed, but wasn’t throwing things at the TV either. That has to be a good thing right? I don’t want my TV to look like those phony YouTube videos of the Wii remote cracking the screen. I mean, that would suck! Wait… I got off track there. Oh yeah, Kris… ummm… Decent start to the show I guess.

13, yep, the big twist!

Well woopie doopie, the Wild Card round is over on American Idol and the big twist revealed. As if 12 weren’t enough. Ok, I know, I am being quite the pessimist… but really, there are some in there that shouldn’t be, there are some that never made the Wild Card Round that should have, [...]
