What Simon said

I have always disliked Cowell to a certain extent. Yes, when he gets it right, he gets it very, very right. And when he gets it wrong, it’s so very, very wrong. But any man who has the cojones to say to millions of moral dilettantes the following, has my vote: That we can all take it for granted that Adam will sail into the finals but we shouldn’t, so vote. And that people should vote for Adam because of his talent. Now that is straight shooting, if you’ll pardon the pun. What with Adam being inundated with slurs on something that is no one’s business but his own, (that wannabe Perez Hilton discussing his ‘lifestyle’ with Ryan on radio? Gimme a break.) It’s no wonder Simon’s sense of fair play got kick-started. Mr Baggy Tee has never said such a thing before, just as he has never given a contestant a standing ovation before.
There’s just something about Adam, apart from the ease with which he delivers his notes to us - like strawberries dipped in Nutella. He is calm, fun-loving, not a mean bone in his body and so chockfull of charisma that when he is on stage, we have eyes for no one and nothing else. And of course I’m over-reading the sitch, as Buffy would say, but I see in Adam’s mother’s tears watching her son become a worldwide phenomenon before her eyes, the sorrow over the years when she thought he was just a loser.
The fact that this phenomenon is standing with that mediocre talent going by the name of Kris Allen is enough to make my already simmering BP go up, up, up. Yes, Kris sang ONE song well, Kanye’s great Heartless, but ONE song does not a superstar make. Yes, every teenybopper in the country votes for his cute babyface and that should have taken him only so far. To stand next to Adam Lambert? What a travesty. That spot belonged to either Matt G or Allison.

Another reason why Adam’s the One is because he never gives those utterly annoying fingers up to the camera when his numbers are being read out. I remember Jordin Sparks doing it to the point where it looked like she was having an epileptic seizure, and Danny Gokey’s heart symbol throughout this season has made me want to bring my lunch up. (What in the world, btw, was Sparks' Battlefield nonsense? More epileptic seizures was what it looked like. She needs to hunker down in Biosphere 2 for a few years and figure out how to be somewhat genuine in the talent dept. and not so bloody daft.)
Did anyone, I wonder, notice how Danny’s Joe Cocker song was so like Adam’s iconic Tracks of My Tears? The way he sat on the stool with the musicians on a line with him and tried to be soulful. Oh dear. And his homecoming was marked by nothing so much as Jamar getting his 15 minutes with a vengeance.
