Screaming, Not The Pride

It's been a few weeks, and the dust has settled. No I don't mean since the last time I have posted, I'm talking about the results of THE AMERICAN IDOL. Actually, this post is mostly in response to my fellow blogger's thoughts on Lambert here. Consider this a "wall-to-wall" if you will. And you'll also notice that the content on this site is about to change...for the better.

So my boy Kris Allen probably overachieved in the truest sense of the word. No one would argue that the kid has talent. He plays both the guitar and the piano. His vocal range is limited compared to his fellow finalist, so he stayed true to those limitations. Where he lacked in vocal dynamic, he made up for it with originality, execution, and humbleness. I believe he played the Idol game very well. Kris appealed to a greater audience with his boyish charm and was never afraid to flash that great smile.

In contrast to Kris, Mr. Lambert had an unbelievable vocal ability. He also had lots of flash and style. Every week you never knew what to expect from Mr Lambert. His performance of Smokey's "Tracks of My Tears" was also the best performance I've ever seen on American Idol. So why did he lose? The Screaming! Maybe it was the judge’s fault for always applauding his ability to hit "that" note? Bottom line, it was just too much for America to handle. It's like they say, the pride comes before the fall. In this case it was Adam's screaming that came before the fall because it was that which overshadowed his amazing talents, and ultimately led to his defeat.
