Having just watched the second episode of American Idol on UK tv (How is this my life? Why is watching American Idol the highlight of my week? WHY?), I continue to be amused by a) how drunk Paula Abdul seems at every show (Seriously, she's like a drunken mom at a graduation. "You....were so...great...I loooooove you.") and b) how flirtatious Simon Cowell is with Ryan Seacrest. Not that I ever want to imagine Simon Cowell having sex with anyone, but there is definitely something there. As it were.

And I am so glad about the results. I had expected a Gokey/Lambert finale, and this is almost too good to be true. Having been informed by astolat that Danny is evil, I have naturally been sneering at his annoying, entitled little face for weeks now. But wee Kris Allen did good! Not only was his version of Heartless gorgeous (and reminded me of Patrick Stump, which is a great compliment), but it showed that when they don't shoehorn him into doing something they think will fit his image, he can be pretty fucking special. Which leaves me a bit conflicted about who to root for.

Cause on the one hand, I love Adam, Adam is the man and rocks the socks out of anybody out there. Not only are his performances brilliant at a level comparable to many rock artists I love, but he's fucking with the show format and being witty and pretty while he does it. I will absolutely buy his album when it comes out, and I would go see him live. But on the other hand, what makes Adam so fabulous might not work well within the American Idol context, and I'm concerned that they will make him so things that might diminish his glory (oh shut up, that boy is glorious). But then again, Adam is probably better positioned to fight off importunate pressure, whereas Kris might buckle under it, and, as we saw this week, Kris does a lot better when he can do things his way. But THEN AGAIN, I really want Adam to win. I want Adam to be voted American Idol. That will mean something.

Being overinvested is hard, kids. *pouts*

Now, tell me something fun about Castiel. *g*

EDIT: Also, I would really like to see Gerard twitter about this. Come on, it's not like writing an album and preparing for the arrival of a new baby is any reason to stop twittering about reality tv? I bet he has thoughts on Adam. Someone should ask him about them. :P

*G* I would LOVE to see Gerard's thoughts on Adam. I've seen maybe one of the kids performances (Cryin') but I enjoyed it!

I'm kind of hoping Gerard finally realized that the baby is coming soon and that after Lyn-Z gives birth he'll have to actually get up at all hours to keep it alive, and is getting some extra sleep in. Because I'm kind of scared of what will happen if he gets two hours of sleep a night; he doesn't seem like he'd do well under extreme exhaustion. I'm afraid they'd be on tour, and he'd be so out of it he'd accidentally walk in front of a bus or something.
