The search for an idol has ended with Kris Allen. Yet another sign that American Idol is complete crap. I know I talk about the show a lot, but I really only started watching after happening to see Adam Lambert sing If I Can’t Have You and just being in awe of his voice. So basically I continued because I wanted to see him be crowned American Idol, the first real idol after the slew of less than idol-like ‘idols’ – Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks - who are really nothing without their ‘idol’ title and have (or will) all disappear into obscurity just a few years after winning.

That said, after watching the finale performance yesterday, and listening to the mother awful “winning” song that the winner gets to release as his first single, I was seriously hoping that Lambert wouldn’t win. It is a complete disaster of a song, and if it tops any charts, then well, we can safely say that America has no taste – in singers or songs. Ok Kris really isn’t that bad, he just isn’t that good. And next to Lambert, he is just plain embarrassing. Why would anyone want to listen to Kris Allen when there are better versions of him out there?

So Kris Allen, you can be “American Idol”, while Lambert can be an “iconic” “worldwide star” who doesn’t have to sing about metaphorical hurricanes and mountains.
