Hm. Let's talk about American Idol for awhile. I read Straits Times Life! yesterday about why did Adam Lambert lost? With FIVE reasons.

1) Location, Location, Location

Lambert lives in LA, where people are known to be too cool to vote? The same thing happened to Angeleno Katherine McPhee, Season  Five's runner-up, who lost to Alabama-bred Taylor Hicks.

2) The Gokey Effect

When top three finalist Danny Gokey was voted of, Idol watchers speculated that those who voted for him would throw their support behind Allen because they had a similar vibe. Gokey's Pastor Jeff Pruit helped things along in a Twitter message, asking the singer's fans to vote to "Save Kris Allen!" 

3) The Comfort Factor 

Lambert's flamboyance - the black nail polish, the eyeliner, the ambiguous sexuality - made middle America uncomfortable. (What's wrong with him being a gay anyway. Lol.)

Allen, on the hand, is a shy, lovable all-american boy and devout Christian who married his longtime girlfriend. 

4) Lambert Backlash

The adoration Idol judges showered on Lambert got Allen fans worried about favouritism. The season was even nicknamed "The Adam Lambert Show". Singer Katy Perry upset Allen and Gokey fans when she wore a cape embroidered with the words Adam Lambert during her performance on the show. (Hmmm.. Humans are people who have tons of jealousy uh.)

5) The Adam Note

Lambert might have used his trademark high-pitch, rocker-like screams one time too many. The Adam Note showed off his range and impressed the world the first few times but became predictable. (Quite true lah. At times, I also get bored with him using his trademark.)

Allen put his piano- and guitar-playing talents to work, showing off his inventiveness. 

Oh well.. Too bad that Adam lost. But Im cool with it. Cos he gonna have his album anyway. Im gonna support him. =) I love the way he sang the 'Mad World' song. Damn bloody nice !!!!!
