so a dinner of leftover boston market and no noise from the abdominal muscles (so turn it up tomorrow, right?) and the stickiness was no issue at all, which is a good thing... and the tv keeps me company tonight as i watch a rerun of american idol and feel the loss of the people who died this weekend... sad people die, but if it doesn't remind you to live more, better, and now, then i think you miss the point...
of course that doesn't mean i don't enjoy some drama and all the emotions of life and memories and feeling connected in the time line to all the losses and changes and rebirths and tapestry and so on... so watching the top 13 american idol show tribute to michael jackson and the one thing that stands out head and shoulders above the rest is how far and away the most talented entertainer-performer of all the idol candidates and the only reason he he came in second is because he scared the small minds in middle america and the true audience for adam does not watch the show...
chris is an excellent musician and good singer, but he is not an american idol entertainer... but a sexually ambiguous elvis-like entertainer scares people, as does an aggressive janis joplin-like girl, alison, who should also have a very successful career... a half dozen, at least of this year's idols should have successful careers, but to suggest that adam was not the most talented singer, entertainer, and performer on the show in 2009 is farcical...
though some news reports about unfair voting were retracted and may have been exaggerated, att did not deny any of the allegations of impropriaety in voting procedures... and att admitted that att employees actively helped arkansas voters multiply their votes for chris manyfold, teaching voters how to send multiple text messages that would be counted by the computers, as reported by the ny times and other reputable news sources... yes, att admitted this... the show will not release the real voting numbers, perhaps thinking that adds to the publicity and glam of the show, but it just detracts from the show's credibility as a talent contest and for me, sours me to the whole idol experience...
still, i think a half dozen deserve recording contracts and chris is one, but the best performer who epitomizes all talent and qualities that the judges and the show hype repeatedly state is required to be an american idol, by leaps and bounds, was adam in 2009...
meanwhile, in spite of the human greed, unfairness, injustice, and general paranoia, life goes on and i'm feel great...
how about you? :)

HCD Research is running a series of studies to obtain an accurate measure of which American Idol contestants should move on during the weekly singing competition. Unlike the flawed American Idol voting system, which allows people to vote numerous times, our study will employ a one-person, one-vote methodology which only allows voters to cast their opinion once!
