I’m still in shock. Adam Lambert lost American Idol. This is about as big of an upset as Mine That Bird winning the Kentucky Derby. Kris Allen was like the 50-1 longshot and by some miracle, he came out of flipping nowhere in the final turn and took the whole thing. And Adam was the heavy favorite that finished second and left us all stunned, wondering what the eff just happened.
I guess I should look at the bright side. Adam can do what he wants with his record. And he doesn’t have to perform that horrible coronation song on talk shows for the next three months. But still. I’m sad that he lost, and that his fans (myself included) couldn’t come through for him in the end.
However. One part of Wednesday night was amazing (well, more than one, but this was the best). I told Laura Tuesday how amazing it would be if Adam, since the voting was over and America no longer had control over him, came out during the results show in full-on “Crawl Thru Fire” gear - platform boots, man-corset, glitter out the wazoo. Just a big “eff you” to all the conservative people.
So I didn’t quite get all of that, but you can imagine my happiness when he came out in platform boots (!!!), eye glitter, funky angel wing shoulder pads and pants that had bedazzled handcuffs on the right leg. For a duet with KISS. Um, yes. That made my whole night. Watch above video for Adam all of his glittery, platformy glory.
It didn’t make up for the fact that he lost, but still. It was fan-freaking-tastic. Adam Lambert is MY American Idol.
