Adam Lambert and the Purple Cow
I was not a happy camper last night after “American Idol” aired.
It’s not that I dislike Kris Allen; he seems like a very sweet guy. But Adam Lambert has been the reason I re-engaged with the show after several years, so when Kris was given the crown, my shoes somehow ended up near the TV.
Following that, I spent about 20 minutes convincing one of our dogs that “it’s ok, Mommy’s not mad.”
I know, I know. And yes, I’m better now.
I know I’m not the only one to feel like this – but clearly many other people feel the opposite, which is why Kris won.

Apparently I wasn’t the only one screaming at my television last night.
Why? I’d set my DVR to record “American Idol” (it allows me to skip the commercials), so when I figured enough time had passed in order for me to be able to skip all the ads, I settled in to watch it.
The show ran over. My DVR did not. And I missed watching the one contestant I’d been waiting to see: Adam Lambert.
So what did I do? I logged on to AmericanIdol.com (which is not a site I frequent) to see if the video had been uploaded yet. No. Then I turned to YouTube. Nope.
This morning, as soon as I brought my Washington Post in, I turned immediately to Lisa de Moraes’ TV column to find out what he sang (again, not my typical modus operandi). I can’t remember a time I’ve been so glad she watches so we don’t have to.
