A.I. causes guilty feelings in me


great show last night simon fuller. couldn't have asked for better performances. all and all it was great. well. . . . there were a couple of things.

first off. as the devout catholic that i am, i've always felt the tiniest bit guilty watching american idol just because the word "idol" is in the show's name. exodus 32 stays in the back of my mind the entire hour of every episode. (that's the bible story where the israelites start worshiping a gold cow statue) anyhow, last night's episode included a segment called the "golden idol awards". O.M.G. this really pushed my guilt over the edge. it was a tad unbearable.

lastly, kris allen won. . . you'd think this would be great news for me since i've voted for kris allen each and every week! but, it's not. adam should have won. i think america assumed that adam lambert would win and so a few votes kris' way wouldn't hurt. well. it hurt. not that it makes one single lick of difference. adam will be a huge star no matter what. and probably already has a contract lined up and worked out an agreement with a.i. and kris allen to "fake" loose the show so he could pursue something greater. who knows?

who cares?? it was a great show. i love Queen!
