The Dish: At the end of the day, we cannot underestimate the power of little American tweens. I'm pretty sure they are the reason that Adam Lambert lost American Idol. Although I remain a true Glambert fan, I do think that 'dark horse' Kris Allen deserved the title. The show is, afterall, called American Idol. Translated, it is a popularity contest. Let's face it: in real life, the weird, gay punk rocker (with more eyeliner than Amy Winehouse on most of her bad days) will never beat the charming, cute boy-next-door to being crowned the class president or homecoming king. We, as a society, are comfortable with normality and people that we can relate to. Besides, Kris is from down south (five winners in the past on AI had been from southern states) and he has been talking about his wife, his church and his parents while Adam has been putting on black eyeliner and nail polish, replicating gay iconic musicians and, um, kissing men. Go figure.
What's worse: They came up with this stupid idea and gave Kris some sort of ugly trophy that looked cheaper than the American Idol Gold awards that they gave to the worst male and female contestants of the season:
Outstanding Male = Nick 'Norman Gentle' Mitchell
Outstanding Female = Tatiana 'Crying' Del Toro
Best Attitude = Katrina 'Bikini (Now-With-Recently-Planted-Fake-New-Boobs) Girl' Darrell
Lol. They were so much fun!
