I AM SO SLEEPY, I WAS SO WOUND UP OVER IDOL, AND I COULDN’T GET TO SLEEP. THEN THIS MORNING I WOKE UP AND IT WAS REALLY DARK IN THE HOUSE AND HOT AS HELL, THE POWER WENT OFF. I NEEDED TO WASH MY HAIR AND I PUT MY MAKEUP ON BY CANDLELIGHT. I LOOK LIKE A TRAINWRECK THIS MORNING. I GRABBED THE FIRST THING THAT DIDN’T NEED TO BE IRONED, LUCKILY THAT DOESN’T LOOK TOO BAD, THEN AS I AM LEAVING THE LIGHTS COME ON, TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE HAIR, I LOOK LIKE I WASHED MY HAIR IN CRISCO.

I can’t believe I watched for 2 hours just for it to be the wrong result! This is ridiculous! Let me tell you something Kris Allen, you may be cute but cute won’t get you to Vegas, taking over for Elton and Celine! Adam Lambert I will see you in Vegas and I WILL BUY YOUR RECORD!!!

Backstory: 1) I go to my mom’s every week for reality TV Tuesday, lately featuring ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘American Idol.’ 2) My mom’s mental list of times she got ripped off by friends/family members/arch rivals dates back to early childhood, with many highlights from her high school heyday.

What do you think of Shawn? Gilles should have won, of course. That seems to be an omen for Adam – underdog Kris will win. Meredith Viera totally said the whole “common knowledge” thing this morning. “Adam is so talented but I just love Kris, he’s so sweet, blah, blah, blah!” It’s that kind of thinking that lost me homecoming queen and Best All Around!
