Even though American Idol finished long ago, one question remains. That question is ‘Seriously? No Boundaries? What were they thinking?’
Oh, and the other question is ‘Is Adam Lambert gay?’ It’s still a hot topic of conversation – in fact, internet research shows that when it comes to things that are nobody’s business about a man we’ll never hear about again from a TV show that’s already ended, Adam Lambert’s sexuality is one of the highest-trending subjects.
At least that was before Kara DioGuardi inadvertently told everyone watching The View that Adam Lambert is as gay as can be yesterday. Whoops.
In all of television history, there’s never been an individual quite as tragic as Kara DioGuardi. Cursed from birth to resemble the photographer from Just Shoot Me so closely that people routinely approach her to say how much they loved her bitpart as The Murderer in AI, becoming the fourth judge on American Idol was supposed to be Kara’s big break.
In reality, though, it’s been one giant mess after another. First Kara Dioguardi started fighting with Simon Cowell, then she started fighting with Paula Abdul, then she wrote the American Idol winning single No Boundaries – an improbably bad car-crash of a song that sounds like a direct amalgamation of all the music from every single tacky aftershave commercial from the 1980s, only worse – and now it’s time for her to put the cherry on the cake. The gay cherry on the cake of humiliating indiscretion, that is.
We’re talking, of course, about Adam Lambert. Throughout American Idol Adam Lambert has tried to keep his sexuality as ambiguous as possible, in that he’s never explicitly declared himself to be gay even though he interprets all of his songs like a man desperate to elbow his way onto the Caligula soundtrack and he’s probably got a boyfriend. But Adam Lambert’s refusal to state his sexuality is his choice, and that choice should be respected by everyone.
Everyone except for Kara DioGuardi, that is, because she went on The View yesterday and blew the whole stinking thing wide open. MSNBC reports:
Barbara Walters asked if she felt Lambert?s perceived sexuality had an impact on ?Idol? voters. ?I don't think that Adam was ever in (the closet),? [Kara replied] ?I think he was always openly out.? Walters reportedly pressed DioGuardi about her comment that Lambert ?was always openly out.? ?I think he was,? DioGuardi answered. ?I mean, from what I've seen ? I do. I never thought he wasn?t.?
There’s no word about how Adam Lambert reacted to this sudden outing by Kara DioGuardi, but we can’t imagine that he’ll be pleased – after all, Adam’s deliberate mystique over his sexuality is just about the only thing keeping him from second-place obscurity right now, and Kara’s clumsiness has probably just put an end to that. That means, in effect, that Kara DioGuardi has turned Adam Lambert into the new Justin Guarini.
And that’s a nightmare. Have you ever tried to accessorise a pair of shoes with a haircut like Justin’s? Nightmare.

Who cares if Adam is gay or not? Just enjoy his talent – Better to be gay than to be a Christian who has to win by cheating.

Kynkacat,
Are you implying that Kris cheated? I voted for Adam we bought five prepaid phones and placed 54,000 votes for Adam and he still lost. So, even though I loved Adam, Kris won and thats the way it is. They are both winners. If Adam is gay that is his business. Bottom line Kris received more votes and won.

I never really liked Kara from the first episode, she just seemed fake to me. After hearing about her gaff on The View, i’m no closer to developing any admiration for her. Adam, on the other hand, is a pure freak of talent. Everyone is out for him though. When idol was on, we heard from his detractors how he “screeched and shrieked” (personally i think these people are deaf or didn’t bother to watch his performances of Mad World or his other ‘slower’ songs, and his ‘shrieking’ if thats what you want to call it, was pitch perfect). Now his detractors are out again on the gay issue. Yes, he is gay, which is not a lifestyle choice i personally agree with, but kudos where kudos are due, he is the best idol has ever seen (no other idol contestant rocked the house week, after week, after week like Adam did), and to the disliking of Kris fans, Adam excelled in every song where Kris sung like millions of others can (a common mall busker), Kris has no wow factor for me! GO ADAM!!!
