Album Covers Show Who Idol Producers Wanted to Win

A reader named Joseph sent us the 2 album covers for Adam Lambert and Kris Allen's versions of "No Boundaries". One looks like it took some effort and the other looks slapped together. Joseph also mentioned that Adam's version of the song has a ton of production while Kris's doesn't. Idol probably assumed Adam had this thing in the bag and didn't take too much time to work on Kris's art. Too bad we messed that one up.

haha ... that's quite exhilarating and humorous to see.

i like allen's album cover much better ... the background clouds in lambert's is questionable.

It's funny how Kris' cover sort of looks better even though it looks super chopped and doesn't have a background. Oh wait, that's because he's not an ugly fat tranny with bad hair and runny mascara.

First off, before I'm accused of fan-tarding myself, let me repeat that I LOVE this site and EVERYTHING it stands for, and I LOVE mocking and ridiculing this self-important reality show!!!

But lets at least admit that we enjoyed being taken for a ride here. The Producers finally got one "right" - and ended up with a final 2 that they could profit from REGARDLESS of who "won" (and really they had this as far back as the final 4 if you think about it).

I-Dull is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN about "finding an international star" or "discovering unknown talent" or any of the other Clap-trap manure they brag about. Its about MAKING MONEY (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with that!!!!!)

Madame fans, wipe the tears from your cheeks, Other-Guy fans wipe the smirk from your faces - and think clearly for a minute. Last night they "win" no matter who they claim got the most "votes" -

If they make Madame the winner, they have a dynamic entertainer (not unlike what Taylor Hicks was) PLUS they get to brag about how "open minded" they are. BUT, the down side is everyone fully EXPECTED Madame to win.

SO - by saying Kris is the "winner" - they have something FAR, FAR better than the most entertaining and dynamic I-dull winner ever!

But what could be better than that, you ask incredulously?

Simple.

What's better than crowning a talented winner?

Creating CONTROVERSY!

Back when everyone assumed the final 2 would be Madame and Dead-Wife-Pimp, the Producers thought they'd have a great "Controversy" by selecting "evil" over "good" (have you already forgotten how fast they shit-canned ALL prior obviously gay contestants??? Hernandez, Noriega, etc)

But they soon had a problem! No one really CARED that Adam is gay, hence (almost) no one saw him as an "evil" choice, and week by week, "good" Danny was creeping out more and more people, hence few people thought he as actually "Good".

The solution? Emergency Re-Write of the script! (about 3-4 weeks ago) - instead of "Good" Danny vs. "Evil" Adam, they wrote a different plot - "Bold and Flamboyant" Adam vs. "Humble and Lovable" Underdog.

They sent all the signals out that Flamboyant Adam was the favored cast member with no chance to lose, then
!SURPRISE ENDING! - Humble and lovable Underdog "steals" the crown at the last moment.

Simple plot - and it took ALL of us in.

Hats off to those evil Idol Douche-bags! - they fooled us.

Again.

I think that Adam's is the only attractive picture of him that I've ever seen. BUT. I do like Kris's better regardless of how underworked it is.

KRIS AND VFTW FTW!

WHAT A SURPRISE… Right.... But I have to tell you that I came up with a theory for this during last night’s show in the insane event that Adam did in fact lose to Kris… check this out.

So I’m watching the finale of ‘American Adam’ last night and it dawned on me, that in every performance, video, song that the two did together, Kris sang back up and Adam always seemed louder, higher or more in the spotlight. Lame. But, that’s the way it’s been. I mean, Adam even had backup singers for the retarded No Boundaries song that Kara wrote when she was on Paula’s meds and sipping Randy’s juice while attempting to fill out Simon’s shirt. Kris did not. His version was weird and Adam’s seemed over produced and still horrible. BUT, this whole season something has been going on. Almost like a set up for a surprise shocker that no one would honestly believe could happen.

Now, I know that Adam had gotten with Randy a few years back (The Queen song We Are the Champions) and the entire season it’s like Adam could do no wrong. So this is where Velma from Scooby Doo was saying Jinkies and we were all totally chasing the bad guys and not listening to her finding of weekly clues. The judges were doing this to set up the ‘surprise factor’. Yes, I firmly believe this show is rigged to a point, but there is NO way in the world that Kris would have beaten Adam in a real ‘vocal competition’ as Randy likes to remind us.

Now, as you noticed, the show slobbered all over Danny and Adam from the start, BUT kept Kris in the mix the whole time, though better singers left before him… Jinkies. VFTW could have had a lot to do with this but I must still press on with additional theories…

I mean, Adam was even on the cover of Entertainment Weekly for bacon out loud! All they were doing was building him up so that in fact he did lose, which was obviously the plan to ensue the Susan Boyle fake surprise factor all along, that his fan base would be ridiculous enough to carry him on as if he won into whatever he sought after Idol. Now seriously, the dude had how many thousands on thousands of people attending his shows back home compared to Kris’s how many back home? Yeah. So it was obvious that Adam SHOULD have won this. Though hilarious that he didn’t. Jinkies!

SO now I will fill you in on my theory after way too much thought on this… I saw Adam suck horribly with KISS (also horrible) last night and thought, dude, Adam would actually suck as a band singer… odd, considering I thought he would be much like Plantish or Jaggerish fronting a band. BUT, then the finale to the show happened and it all finally clicked in my head when Queen popped up. Derr… Jinkies for Jink’s sake! HOW WAS I THIS BLIND?! (Sorry Scott) All the clues were there and I finally had an idea of what COULD be the truth here. Adam did a great job with Queen last night as Kris just sang quietly and mostly back up. But if you noticed, the guitarist for Queen was leaning into Adam the whole time, looking over at him and palling about with him. Even after the performance there was basically Adam and the guitarist for Queen cutting looks and smiles and it all seemed just weird to me until I realized this.

IF ADAM DOESN’T WIN, MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE HE HAS SIGNED ON WITH QUEEN TO FRONT THEM AND BRING THEM OUT OF THE GRAVEYARD WITH SIMON PRODUCING? I mean, Randy did produce Adam singing a Queen song (We are the Champions) a few years back, right? Yes he did. WOW. AND Queen has been dying to tour and pull in a ton of money, right? So Idol shoves this Adam kid down everyone’s throat, pumps America up about him and then keeps him on the side line to go do what Simon wants afterwards while having a HUGE pseudo surprise of Kris winning while Adam goes on to front Queen on a massive tour starting up as soon as the Idol tour wraps up. I seriously think I have it all figured out. Nice try Simon.. but either way you were too busy seeing dollar bills to give Kris the standing ovation he deserved for outing Adam last night in your all too hairy scheme…

And there you have it...
