I am so excited about American Idol this year, more so than I've ever been.
Although I have watched the show regularly since it first began, after the audition shows are over, my attention tends to rise and fall based on who is contending for the crown.
For instance, I was a big Justin Guarini fan so I definitely watched the first season. He lost, but I was okay with Kelly Clarkson winning because she seemed like a regular girl who would be in my dorm or something.
Carrie Underwood was also cool, but I liked her even more when she released that "Before He Cheats" song. Who ever thought someone could make trashing a car so musically appealing?
I also watched last year because I thought David Cook and David Archulata were both guys I would have dated in different times in life.
For instance, David Cook is the type of guy I would go out with now, while David Archulata reminds me of the guy who took me on my very first date (I was five and he took me to the drug store and let me pick out any piece of candy I wanted. I picked out Skittles).
On the other hand, I thought Fantasia was talented, but stopped watching after a while because it seemed obvious she was going to win. I found Taylor Hicks boring in a kind of "my-Dad-would-like-him" way and Jordin Sparks was just too high-schooly for me.
This year is the best ever and,for me, it's all because of Adam Lambert.
I mean, Danny Gokey's got a good voice, but he seems like the guy my older sister, Jen, had a rebound romance with after she broke it off with her fiance. They even have similar voice -- and that's a problem for me.
When she broke it off, he got a guitar, stood outside what he thought was her window and started singing "Hey Jen," instead of "Hey Jude."
Of course, it was my window and I was trying to sleep. Ugh.
Kris Allen is a cutie, and I would probably vote for him in another season (and date him if he wasn't married), but this year is all about the Adam.
Adam is, like, the best guy friend I've never had, but always wanted. He's cool (knows how to put on mascara), nice, funny, a great singer and he dresses great.
I could see talking with him about my problems with a guy who looks like David Cook and would actually try to understand without seeing it as a way to make me like him instead.
Adam would also let me know that there's a guy who likes me for me and not because I spent hours trying to look cute.
I'm not alone. My friends think Adam is a dream and so does my Mom. We're all rooting for him to be the next American Idol.
There are some guys I know who are threatened by Adam because he dresses cooler than them, but they're just threatened, I just know if they got to know him, they would realize how cool he is.
In fact, I'd bet he'd even tell David Cook and Kris Allen what a cool girl I am and why they should date me.
