You're right. Mariah Carey might be the worst, although Celine Dion is certainly a qualifier (as is Babs Streisand). I'd rather scoop out my eardrums with a teaspoon than listen to any of that overwrought, self-indulgent crap, wherein the "artist" turns every single note into a scale or an arpeggio that seems to go on longer than did the Clinton Administration.
John Lee Hooker, OTOH, is "The Man". Buddy Guy is pretty good, too. Boom Boom.

Just get a California judge to throw the results out as unconstitutional. /s

No, he lost because there were 38 million votes from Kris Allens home state of Arkansas, which has a population of less than 3 million...We're kinda proud of Kris. ;-)

I agree with you, on pure talent this guy was garbage. IN fact what I saw of all the competitors was pretty bad honestly.
To: Pinkbell
I also noticed that neither finalist was a female! It’s misogynistic!
And both finalists were white! Racist!
And they were both young! Age discrimination!
Unless the contest is won by a black lesbian in a wheelchair, I’m calling the ACLU!

If range were the only criterion, Yma Sumac would’ve been bigger than Sinatra. All he has is top end clarity, without warmth or a sense of phrasing.

Not only is Idol a singing contest, Idol is an exercise in achieving the American Dream.
Really? The American Dream is to go to Hollyweird and waste our God-given talents on trash and debauchery?
That's not a dream I'd wish on my worst enemy.

I didn’t watch the show this year, but I understand how it works.
Adam, gay or not, made it to #2.
He survived elimination after elimination after elimination.
If he was eliminated based on his sexuality, it seems to me that he would have been eliminated much earlier.

I find this particularly galling when it's done to the national anthem.

I think that in his market (LA) he’s been able to make a living with the persona and the range, so he hasn’t had to develop the rest. He has all the sensitivity of Axl Rose.

That was the good old Gong Show. One of my favorites with Gene Geene the Dancing Machine and the Unknown Comic.

Listen to Bocelli and find real music. These others only have parts down.

The decadence and depravity of the national media continues apace. When not slandering 22 year old beauty queens for daring to dissent from the celebration of sexual deviance, our media searches breathlessly for evidence of intolerance against the latest protected class. It seems every editor in America is now driven to the homosexual agenda. How did this happen? Is there no way we can recover a climate of wholesomeness and normalcy for our children?

It’s not like these guys were applying for an accounting job. This contest was purely about subjective personal preferences in style. If you criticize the people who participated in the voting for not picking the gay man, you are saying that America isn’t gay enough yet and that’s a bad thing. What a bigoted attitude.

I remember that. As a country music fan, I was not fond at all of that performance.

There’s also the probability that a number of voters decided their vote was payback for Perez Hilton’s treatment of Carrie Prejean.

Re:

I find this particularly galling when it's done to the national anthem. Did you ever notice that it is only OUR National Anthem that these "artists" screw up with their "personal interpretations?"
Never hear anybody customize "Oh Canada" "God Save the Queen" or "Rule Britannia."
