How is Glambert not going to win?




VS



As Ryan said last night, it was the battle of "the guy next door vs. the guyliner." I couldn't have summed it up better myself, even if I wore guyliner.

To be honest, I didn't see all of both of their performances last night. I was too busy at the gym. However, I did see them both perform the final song "co-written" by Kara DioGuardi, No Boundaries. I think Simon summed up the song best when he said "It's the mountains and the hurricanes. " Just judging them on their performance on that song it seems obvious that Glambert is going to win. Kris was really boring with that song, totally pitchy, and just not into it.

So, Glambert is going to be the next American Idol. That begs the question, will anyone care? I can't imagine every buying anything he records. That "single" he sang last night wasn't terrible coming from him, but I'd still change the station on the radio if it came on.

What kind of music is he going to sing? Will he record songs from Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Glamcoat? One night in Glamcok? I can't imagine him doing a pop album. Emo kids wont like him because he's really not emo enough. (Is faux-emo a word? I think i just coined it!)

Glam is dead. Freddy Mercury? Dead. No one is doing glam anymore and Glambert doesn't have the chops to bring it back. So we're left with some lame pop guy. Whoopee
