Waxing Rhapsodic

about American Idol is Jacob from Television Without Pity:

Think about this: more than the Superbowl, more than any Presidential address, more than anything Neilsen can currently monitor: whenever this show comes on, we watch it together. Singly or in huge parties, this show is the biggest thing that happens, every episode, all week, all year. Queers and queer families, moms with daughters, families of all ridiculous building blocks, daddies with secret singer hearts and quiet tears down the cheek. We gather, here at TWoP or in our homes, live or on DVR or by ahem means, and we do this thing. This pointless, silly, wonderful thing: we do it together.


I love the recaps on this site, esp. with American Idol and, previously, with the Apprentice. So funny and sometimes really insightful.

And I still maintain my neutrality about the result. Kris = cute and marketable. Adam = flamboyant superboy with a limitless career ahead of him. A pretty good mix if you ask me.
