What Up?

Greetings!

Just posting for the sake of posting really. But now that I'm sitting here, I've decided to discuss American Idol, which I haven't since the Top 13 were chosen 5 weeks ago.

I truly believe Adam is the most talented contestant to ever be on Idol in all 8 seasons. He manages to amaze & terrify me every week. His Top 36 performance was fabu! I loved his rendition of the Stones "Satisfaction". Then Top 13 he dropped Michael Jackson's "Black or White". It twas not love at first site for me...but I grew to like it. His "Ring of Fire" performance on Top 11 Grand Ole Opry week seriously scared the every lovin' shit out of me when I first saw it. I thought it was a complete & utter train wreck. Then I forced myself to listen to it on a continuous loop the next day and sure enough, after about 7 times I was actually digging it. Not only did I pay to download it from iTunes, but I convinced Gloria to give it a chance. I just kept telling her that it would grow on her, and damn if it didn't. Adam then blew me away Top 10 Motown week with "Track of My Tears." That's probably when I decided I wanted him to win for sure over Gokey. (Though I still like Gokey, I just want him to get 2nd place - He'll get a record deal from the show so no worries). Then there was "Funky Music" during iTunes Top Download week which really left me...indifferent. Not to say I hated it. Not at all, it just didn't do anything for me. But I loved his "performance" of it. The way he moves and sneers is Ab Fab and he reeks of stage presence. (There are others, such as Slumdog dude, who just looks so uncomfortable on stage it's almost painful to watch unless he's plopped on a stool at a mic.) But Adam, well he's got charisma to spare. I just think in the iTunes week there were better songs to pick. Top 8 Birth Year week only solidified Adam as the winner for me. What a soulful rendition of "Mad World". It's not the Tears for Fears "Mad World" from the 80's, but the one revamped for the movie "Donnie Darko" which was sung by Gary Jules. Brilliant! He absofuckinglutely deserved the standing "O" from Simon. I hope he chooses wisely again next week, which I hear is Songs from Movies.

Rock On Adam!

Later Peeps!
