A.I. Life is all about voting these days.

I recognize the role of Simon Cowell on American Idol. He's supposed to be a jerk. I have seen him on Punk'd and Oprah. He's not mean.

This is a description of the Punk'd I saw:

Simon Cowell has become a victim of TV prankster Ashton Kutcher's practical joke
show Punk'd.

The British Pop and American Idol judge became Kutcher's latest victim after a bogus valet at a posh Los Angeles restaurant convinced him that the keys to his $400,000 Rolls Royce had been handed over to the wrong man.

Cowell's fellow American Idol judge Randy Jackson [and Ryan Seacrest] was among those who set up the prank.

He watches what he believes to be his brand new Rolls Royce (which would pay for my house twice over)crashed into a construction site. He freaks out but not about the car. He starts asking about any people in the accident. If everyone is okay. He never freaks about the car. Also these judges sit for days listen to every freak in America that thinks that the only reason we aren't getting how talented they are it's because they can't bring their shower. By the time they get to Hollywood, if they can't take the inevitable spanking that the judges, especially Simon, they aren't going to be able to handle any of this, anyway. By the end I am usually impatient with the other judges (okay not Randy, but Paula needs to be on a judging panel with Little Richard. She makes no sense.) I think that by this time, Simon is giving them something constructive to work with. Not this year. I totally recognize that Adam is really, really, good, but he's not perfect and Simon hasn't mentioned yelling or shouting in his criticism of Adam once. He totally shouts, sometimes and the tongue thing is distracting. I am thinking he should get it pierced or something. I think Simon has been completely biased on this one. He doesn't give credit when credit is due, to the other contestants and in a sense I think he sabotaged Allison. Last night he told us who to vote for. Kris was the best last night, but between the Vote For The Worst Site and Simon, it's going to be interesting to see who wins...

Sometimes I think people totally miss the strides that are made in earlier generation?

I could list 100 examples but this is the one that is bugging me big time. Y'all know I'm a reality show junkie and I watch American Idol. In fact last year I made a donation to Idol Gives Back on the off chance I would get to talk to Michael Johns (and because of the amazing charity work that was done). No such luck. This year I've been pulling for Allison. I can't believe she's barely 17, but I wish I could have picked her songs for her. Sadly she went home last week. I think they should have pulled Adam Lambert months ago because he is in a league of his own. Doubtful that anyone can even come close and not because they lack talent but because he's larger than life. I was content with the final 4 and I am honestly happy with whoever wins. I think Kris needed to go home before Allison, because I didn't think he was vocally as strong, he's kinda hot. He reminds me of my major crush when I was 18. I don't totally love Adam, but I recognize he's really good. I keep seeing these pictures crop up of him dressing in drag. I don't think anyone was surprised to discover he's gay. But I saw a screen capture of some homophobe site that showed all the drag pics and him kissing other guys and they say "Do you want this man to be YOUR next American Idol?" Uhh, actually yes I do because in my opinion he's by far and away the best. He also comes off pretty humble and nice. I like him. I'm glad he lost the Michael Jackson crotch grabbing thing, though.
But America acts as if he's some freaky one of a kind perv. Am I the only one who paid attention to the music in the 80's??? Glam rock isn't new, most guys wore full out makeup in the 80's and more than one guy used my Aquanet. Some were obviously gay (Boy George, Elton John who went back to the 70's, I realize, and Pete Burns who was far hotter than most of the girls I knew) and some guys were totally straight. What is the big issue here? Adam Lambert may bring 80's glam music. That's a good thing and it's about time. Music has never been the same since!
