american idol

i don't usually watch american idol. i find it... a bit uninteresting with all the hype and all. but somehow yesterday i came across a clip of the runner-up adam lambert's performance with kiss, and i was shell shocked.

if i had a mirror there i would have seen the shit-eating grin on my face, and simultaneously i was air-guitaring frantically in my room, at 2am in the morning. i haven't done that since i was 13.

and then i dug deeper, watched some more clips of him playing with slash, smokey robinson, queen and i was amazed. he looks like a emo kid on steroids but boy, he sounds like the most divine combination of axl rose plus steven tyler plus mick jagger, and all their good bits too. who the hell is this guy?

and he didn't win in the end? come on america. you're the dumbest lot i know.
