I watched American Idol on and off all season. I usually watch the auditions, but lose interest after they pick the predictable finalists. This season was slightly more entertaining, because Adam Lambert was unusual with his black eyeliner and screeches. He was too theatrical for me at times, but he was amusing. Tonight it came down to Lambert who treads the line between Siegfried and Roy and Freddy Mercury, and Kris Allen, a Brad Pitt look alike. Well, Brad Pitt won tonight, despite the judges' huge preference for Siegfried. A surprise upset. Prediction — the topic of tomorrow will be "Is Adam Lambert too gay for America."

AI is one of those shows I find more interesting to read about than actually watch, though my daughter and I have become quite entranced with Simon when he’s on Britain’s Got Talent. When he smiles at something he likes, I think our 9- and 43-year-old hearts just go pitter-pat.
But have you all checked out Glee? I’ve watched it 3 times now. I much prefer my tv to be of the non-reality type.

I haven’t watched AI, but thinking back to when I was younger (during the 80s), being visibly gay didn’t hurt. Of course, AI draws from a wider range of age groups than MTV.

I should specify, being visibly gay didn’t hurt for pop music fame.
