Post 23 - It Burns Like A Ring of Stupid

We're a few weeks behind on this one but it was too good to ignore. Since all of American watches Idol we barely feel the need to explain, but Adam Lambert the likely-gay, black nail polish and eyeliner wearing front runner to become the next widly-unsucessful Idol champion. A few weeks back he sang a sitar-infused (if you don't know what a sitar is, go ask George Harrison) version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire".

In regard to Lambert's Ring of Fire performance,
although the lad's talent is superior to that of all the previous AMATEURS who
have ever graced(?) on the show, I believe, along with several million Idol
viewers, that Adam's version of the song transended music and became an
unexpected spiritual experience that left millions of viewers speaking in
tongues and overcome by their religious fervor. Obviously, those who panned it
are tone deaf homophobic souls who are members of another denomination which
has, hopefully, thrown out its organ and banned all forms of musical
activity

We heard the performance in question. At best, it was quasi-entertaining, at worst it made Randy Travis question his faith in humanity. We're not panning the performance lest we be exposed as "tone deaf homophobic souls" (we won't discuss our organ) but we HIGHLY (note the use of all caps for emphasis) doubt that millions of viewers had a spiritual experience full of religous fervor and tounge-speaking like this guy. Unless, of course, you put "what the fuck was that?" in the speaking in tounges category. Despite his luncacy, we are lucky that Lambert-Lover graced on our blog (hopefully he'll have the decency to clean up after himself).
