AIRPORT SECURITY: What’s your name?

PASSENGER: Batman.

AIRPORT SECURITY: Your real name, please.

americanidoladamkris Adam Lambert loses American Idol   apparently, there are boundaries...This past Wednesday night, millions of viewers witnessed one of the most surprising outcomes that has ever happened on “American Idol”.  With constantly mesmerizing performances by neo-goth rocker Adam Lambert and continuous veneration by the judges, it came with little doubt that the singer would crush conservative, boy-next-door charmer Kris Allen.  This was far from the case as host Ryan Seacrest announced Allen as the ultimate winner of this year’s competition.  Was Allen surprised at the results?  Possibly and possibly not, as he immediately stated with a tone of mild emptiness and discretion after the announcement, “Adam deserves this”.  Between Adam Lambert’s jaw-dropping, seemingly limitless vocals and Kris Allen’s hit-or-miss coffee lounge timbre, it was blatantly clear who was the dominator of the two.  However, there was far more to the suspicious result than what was disclosed in the finale.

Several weeks ago, photographs had leaked across the web of Adam Lambert at a “Burning Man” festival kissing another guy.  When questioned about his sexual orientation, Lambert simply responded “I know who I am.”  You might recall that around that time, Lambert ended up in the bottom 3 with fellow contestants Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta.  Could the photographs have possibly played a part in this?  While we can’t say for sure, we can likely consider the detrimental effect they had for Lambert in the finale.  As judge Paula Abdul mentioned, where do the votes go after the third contestant is voted off – the third being clean-cut and cordial Danny Gokey?  With several fans favoring Gokey’s warm, uplifting style as opposed to Lambert’s wildly brazen stage presence, it would come as no surprise who those votes would head off to in the finale.  Days earlier, Kris Allen had urged fans not to make the “Christian vote” and that this was a singing competition alone.  Did America listen?  Apparently, a significant enough portion played deaf, sending Kris Allen to close off the season as the winner.  As Seacrest made the announcement, judge Simon Cowell was seen initially remaining in his seat in silent protest, while giving dismayed looks at the other judges, who expressed surprise as well.  Eventually, they all stood up in good spirits and applauded the “dark horse” seconds before he ironically sang the Kara Dioguardi-written song “No Boundaries”, as Adam Lambert awkwardly stepped aside and applauded Allen.

The controversy behind this result also brings up the question of whether Season 2 runner-up, Clay Aiken, may have been voted off for similar suspicions on his sexuality.  Regardless, Aiken still soared miles further than winner Ruben Studdard, with the release of a few hit albums, numerous guest performances, and a leading Broadway role in Monty Python’s “Spamalot”.  This simply shows that in the end, it really doesn’t matter which of the two finalists win “American Idol”, but more of what they do with their jumpstarted career afterwards.  Kris Allen and Adam Lambert made this apparent as they sang the final song of the night, “We Are The Champions” together with legendary rock band “Queen”.

So tell me this, readers.  With Lambert’s disappointing, yet conspiratorial loss, is America really ready for “Change” or have we rather revealed the hypocritical side in a large number of us?  Could there have been even more to this end result than what we at AngryWeb have perceived here?  Tell us what you guys think in the comments below!
