I was excited for the American Idol finale. Like -- really excited. And not because I loved one finalist and/or hated one finalist with a firey passion *coughtaylorhickscough* but because I truly enjoyed BOTH of them. Enjoyed may even be an understatement. Is it too soon to say Love?
I mean -- LOOK AT THEM!!!
I can barely deal with the cuteness of these too. Kris is just a doll and a half, a young lil thing with a SINCERE heart of gold -- you can just tell, ya know? And Adam - LOVED that Adam. And I also loved what Adam represented in this contest: he was being himself. He wasn't making a big deal out of his differences, he embraced them - he didnt lose sight of who he was. I just wish he would have sang from 'Wicked!'
Anyway - Kris won and I was a shocked, especially since last nights show was amazing for Adam when they sand with QUEEN!! I'd been waiting for that. And while personally I kind of wanted Adam to win a bit more than Kris -- here is what I love about the fact that he won:
1. his complete and utter surprise of the results. his mouth fell open and he looked around confusingly.
2. the way he said "no! this is adams! this is adams!"
3. the way he hugged his wife...AWWWWW
4. he has to sing that HORRID song!
BTW - anyone want to hunt down bikini girl and just kind of kick her? yeah -- me too.
