Battle of the Network Gays for April 24

But seriously, ok, I have no doubt about our little gay goth boy's sexuality.  He's so gay I may have to start sleeping with women because his queerness shames me.  I'm not that insane fan on YouTube making video that remind me of Kris Crocker and Britney.

I would really like to feel he was free of the Idol machine, and the marketable little box it likes performers to fit it.  Sure, Adam has taken some wild musical chances this year, and I count myself a fan - but I think he's also toned down his freak flag in an effort to win, not that I blame him - the prize is huge.

I don't think he's necessarily toned down some songs because that was the musical risk.  He may have done it beautifully, but I think it's calculated to appeal to a larger base of the crowd to to keep from alienating middle American, not pure artisitc freedom.  I'd rather he was out and ready to be himself - and I think he's got a good sense of himself.  I just find that person more interesting, and hope Idol doesn't process that more interesting artist to oblivion. 

I don't need a People magazine cover to know it, but I sure hope that once Idol is done with him, that drag wearing, Burning Man attending, cabaret singing artist isn't gone.
