the 2009 “american idol” finale:
a brandon’s buzz live blog event (day one)
posted at 6:38 pm by brandon in idolatry
6:37 pm (NOTE: all times central): No agricultural emergencies delaying my progress this year. We’re actually startin’ early!
6:39 pm: Last year’s “Idol” live blog was the first thing that really put Brandon’s Buzz on the map in terms of garnering some attention from the online world, so I’m very excited about tonight!
6:44 pm: Assuming that Adam was always a slam dunk to make the finale (and Paula predicted it twelve full weeks ago, so there you have it), I still think an Adam / Alison faceoff would have provided the most bang for our entertainment buck. But I still think we’re in for a riveting evening of music, madness, and mascara tonight.
6:46 pm: Let’s set up the cast of characters. In one corner, we have Adam Lambert.
6:47 pm: Because Adam screeches, shrieks, screams, wails, and just generally irritates the piss out of me, he will be known tonight as Banshee Boy.
6:48 pm: Adam is a glam rocker following the obvious David Bowie template — at least visually — but when he opens his mouth, he sounds like the love child that Robert Plant and Siouxsie Sioux might have created in an ill-fated night of passion. (You might think I mean that as a compliment, since I rather like and admire both of those people, but I really don’t.)
