American Idol hmmmm

I could pretend that I'm NOT one of the 45 million people that watch American Idol every week. I've watched a few seasons, missed a few, but certainly have enjoyed several of the singers that have been spewed across national television. Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, loved Jennifer Hudson and Latoya London, Carrie Underwood - then there's a few we wanted to forget. Like William Hong. Or Fantasia whatever her name was. But my piece today is that I just HAD to comment on the killer star of the season (and all the other season's combined in my humble opinion) - Adam.


I don't even remember what his last name is. Maybe he's like Madonna, he doesn't need his last name. Anyhow, I don't remember it. But I flip on American Idol religiously every week JUST to see what he's going to do. It's obvious he has theatrical experience - I heard he auditioned pre-Idol for Broadway -, he's obviously got the showmanship, and the edgy look that makes him stand out from the rest of the pop-py, ballad driven Idols. But his VOICE. I don't even know what to compare it to. The way he takes a song we've heard over and over again and lends his own creative stamp all over it - amazing. When I heard his melting, haunting version of "Mad World" I was on the edge of my seat. As far as I'm concerned, he's the first contestant on the show that I've ever seen that actually has the "it" factor. Adam has that unique sound, talent and artistry that will (or SHOULD) make him the obvious winner for this season. I guess we will just have to wait and see, but it's apparent that it doesn't matter if he wins the silly Idol crown or not, he will definitly go places.


On a side note -- I've always thought that they should do some sort of "Battle of the American Idols". They should pull each winner from each season and have them compete against eachother to see who America votes for NOW. I do believe that Adam would most certainly be in the top three, if not the winner of them all. What can I say? He's the first REAL talent I've seen on there. Adam rocks. yeh huh.
