Confessions of an American Idol-holic

I admitted to someone this week that I’m addicted to American Idol. In not so many words she said I should be embarrassed - after all who watches that!?

I do. And I love the show partly because it’s entertaining but also inspiring to watch how people’s lives literarily get changed through the competition.

This year I’ve been glued to the show, and from week to week I’ve consistently been backing - much like most people (I hope) - Adam Lambert. Kris Allen isn’t a bad second but in my opinion no match to the chameleon-like, overly confident Adam who has delivered week on week the best, most electrifying performances that you’d expect only from a professional singer while at the same time has, as Rolling Stone puts it, “single-handedly rescued the franchise”.

Whether he wins or not, personally I think that Lambert is the best contestant American Idols has ever seen. Do you agree? e-online thinks so stating he could be the next Zac Efron or Elvis Presley!
