To all American Idol fans...
Edited on Tue May-12-09 05:55 AM by Dammit Ann
can we please put the GO in Gokey tonight?

Seriously, this guy...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE8BkRYheXo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fgossipcandy.com%2F&feature=player_embedded

HAS GOT TO GO!

We elected Obama, can we just do right with our second most popular democratic undertaking?

Gokey makes W seem almost pitiable. ALMOST, people, ALMOST, I said. No flame wars, this is all in fun, for real.

But I seriously dislike this guy and I can't figure out why.

He just seems so SURE, that's why he reminds me of a certain someone. And there's the smirk and the Jesus and the SCREAM.

YUCK. This can't come down to him in the final 2, if you don't like Adam and are extremely bored tonight, please vote for Kris.

I would love to see him win.

But NO Gokey, for all of our sakes.

To reiterate, the SCREAM, at least. Feast your ears and eyes. Hilarious.

Have I made this clear enough?

Reminder, this is all in fun, people...

But, kinda for serious.

1. The producers want him to win so badly...
The judges have clearly been told to never say a bad word about the guy. I don't know if they want to have a christian music market winner, or if they just like the young widower storyline or what it is but it's painfully obvious.

I'm even convinced that they were behind having Adam alone be on the cover of Entertainment Weekly before being the winner as a way to generate some kind of backlash.

2. And I thought I was paranoid.
Thank you so much for this.

And you are so right.

3. I noticed this and I've only watched...
..in the background. My daughter is a fan and she has it on every Tuesday and Wednesday. Even just listening and watching it peripherally 2 things have been ridiculously obvious:

1)They desparately want Gokey to win and have done everything in their power to advance that story line.

2)They were going to do everything in their power to not have Allison finish close to the end. That she made it as far as she did despite their efforts is a testament to her ability. They definitely wanted Lil Rounds more than Allison and tried to advance that story line as well but she just continued to underperform so they couldn't pull it through for her any longer.

4. For periphery, you have nailed it.
Seriously, it's a weird year on Idol.

It feels like the primaries.

It's coming down to angels verses demons.

heathens vs. christians.

Straights vs everyone else.

It's feel significant.

And this is the first year I've ever paid attention. Ever.

I'm rooting for the Demons, Heathens, and everyone Else.

And loving every minute of it.

6. Ahem...

hell, at least argue with me, you lazy f--ckers.

Believe it or not, this American Idol, BTW, up until this year I had never watched it since Kelly Clarkson,

is POLITICAL.

It just is.

And it's not the "gay" thing, not at all.

The country is fine with that and he is probably a shoe in.

We are dealing with the CCC, which I just coined, the Crazy Crack Christians, who are convinced that if Gokey doesn't win then we are all on our way to hell because he loves baby jesus and we have to too.

You remember how that feels DU?

Watch the GODDAMNED show tonight.

I don't care how dirty you feel.

You may be doing the country another favor.

And, don't forget to vote!

7. I used to watch but haven't even bothered watching auditions
for the last season or two.

But you are sucking me in with the christians vs. heathens stuff.

So who's the christian and who's the heathen with the best chance to beat them?

10. I like him, and I am not a "CCC".
I think he is endearing and he has a soulful voice.

I think Adam is more talented, but I think what Danny is doing is great. He has had a rough year. If I were voting, it would be for Adam, but I am not going to sit here and down on Danny because he may be a Christian. That is shit.

11. My kids and I are
Adam fans.

We love the guy.

I don't HATE Gokey but he can't hold a candle to Adam -

Kris is a snore fest. (sorry but that is my thoughts on the likable but boring guy.)

We loved Allison but WTF? We wanted her to stay till the bitter end... but no....
