The biggest American Idol letdown ever

Sure, we were disappointed when Alexis Grace left the show so early. We might have even shared a collective sigh when Tatiana didn't get saved on the wildcard rounds. But nothing can beat the robbing of the Idol crown from the true deserving winner, Adam Lambert.

Idol announced today that the winner of this season's American Idol was Kris Allen. Well, sure, I like Kris well enough, but truth be told, he's far from even being on par with Adam. Even he knows it, saying that Adam is the one who deserves to win. There is something extremely wrong with the producers of American idol. I bet they didn't want Adam to win because they didn't want a first gay American Idol. One of them's a flashy gay drama actor, the other's a Christian worship leader. Who do you think they'll choose?

The only thing the producers seem to have done right was to arrange the sing off between Kara and Bikini girl. Bikini girl was invited back to sing Mariah's Vision of Love again, cause she apparantely won some bullshit 'Idol Golden Awards' for 'Best Attitude'. I was so horrified at her nasally attempt at a Mariah song. Just when it couldn't get worse, it actually got a million times better. A totally different voice (a voice that could sing), came floating out of nowhere, and for the wildest moments, I thought Mariah was on the show. Then the Idol signboard went up, and Kara DioGuardi came strutting down, completely owning the song. Bikini girl even tried to vocally fight with Kara, and lost spectacularly.

Simon seems to have summed up all our feelings, with his blank 'what the fuck just happened' look when Kris was announced the winner. He didn't stand up to applaud, a first for him. He even stood up for the arrogant bastard Cook, but no standing ovation for little worship leader, no siree.

One thing's for sure: Adam was robbed!

The true winner:
