I agree. And as far as I know, the Idols you mentioned are classy and have not been involved in any scandals. (Worthy of being “idols,” though I hate that word.)
And we all love the rags-to-riches story of a farm girl, waitress, etc. going on American Idol and getting better and better every week and then winning and having a great career. Adam’s already a pro and he’s already had all those risque pictures and videos surface online. I know we’re not supposed to care about that...it’s not PC to care. But all that just doesn’t say “American Idol” to me.
If Adam makes it to the finals (which it appears now that he will) I believe all that stuff about his already doing that caberet stuff and the risque photos will come back to haunt him.
Right now either Danny or Allison will probably be in the finals with him. I think either one could beat him.
Especially when they kicked off other contestants for less.
