My Adam Thoughts

I didn't watch the show the other night but I've since watched Adam's song.  

I don't particularly like that song, I've always thought it was too melodramatic.  And I thought Adam sitting there with the lights dimmed and a nondescript emotional pout on his face was just the height of melodrama and a perfect example of American Idol at its worst.  When something with a plastic soul, like AI, tries to act like a human being it's doubly repulsive.  It's very rare those kids can emote without coming off phony and repulsive.  If giant digital tears started dripping down the big screens behind him, I wouldn't have been shocked.  I practically expected to see Paula wiping her nose.  I really hate when they try to sell anything more than pop.  They're SO bad at it.

All that having been said, Adam is going to win and is the best singer of the lot by far this year, but it's not really saying much.  I'd go buy a Tears for Fears concert ticket before I'd buy an Adam concert ticket, and I don't even like TFF.  It's a weak year for Idol.  Weak sauce all around.
