Gokey still got away with "Scream on" at Allison's expense. I won't forgive. I can't forget.

Oh happy day, nothin'! Gokey's probably going to make good on those fantasies about pistol whipping Paula and exposing himself to Adam's dad.

it is my birthday and i genuinely believe that america banded together to get me this wonderful gift of danny gokey being sent back to his cult (lenscrafters), so i wanted to thank you all.

I liked the Gokey. I really thought he was the only one who could stand a chance against the "Drag Queen," which is what we call Lambert at my house. That guy has an amazing set of pipes, but he's really more suited for Broadway than radio. I suspect we may end up with another irrelevant winner who is bested on the charts by the "losers" from his season.

@Readsforaliving: because if there is one thing that screams "relevance" it's a doughy white guy wearing women's glasses doing a bad michael mcdonald impression.

My prediction? Gokey will go gospel and then of course, be involved in a sex scandal with himself. Kris will join a Jason Mraz cover band. And Adam? He's the next Miss California. And you better believe he'll answer that same-sex marriage question the correctly.

I was quite amused at the hometown visits. Danny looked appropriately stunned and humbled. Meanwhile Kris seemed smug and not the least bit surprised (almost like he deserved all the acclaim.) And I felt asleep (really!) during the Adam Lambert part.

@MsMuffinMcGuffin: But the relentlessly bullied theater queen returned to his high school and they all cheered. Sorta like how I always imagined my life would turn out. Sniff.

Danny Gokey: AI's first necrophiliac, he'd been riding his dead wife for about 15 weeks.

I was going to correct you by saying the Paul Bunyan statue is in Bemidji and not Brainerd. But it turns out there's one in Brainerd, too! Minnesota just can't have enough Paul Bunyan statues. My favorite is the one in the log flume ride at the Mall of America.

Richard, you do realize the tall blond white guy they show every time Adam sings is his father? And his mother is the super young looking brunette? And did you completely miss the shot of his Dad beaming last night after he was called? Granted, its hard to tell who he is related to thanks to his horrific hair coloring and crazy stylings, but you seem to be under the impression that Adam's parents have distanced themselves from him and that can't be further from the truth. In fact, his Dad was the first one to allude to his sexuality with the "as a child...dressing up, yes, sports, not so much" bit.

@Richard Lawson: There was a sneaky, hard-to-see-unless-you're-looking-for-it shot of his dad riding in the car with him. I think they skipped showing the reunion hug because I'm guessing they probably see each other reasonably frequently - LA-to-SD is a couple of hours, depending on traffic.

Lambert's family has been conspiciously absent from the show? I know some of them IRL, and they are a fine, fun bunch and I've seen them on the TV every week. They also endorse the gayness 100%.

@Banjo-Sea Kitten: Okay, question - Is Adam a giant IRL? No, seriously. He dwarfs everyone he stands next to. Most actors I know are slight of stature so it kind of unnerves me.

@Banjo-Sea Kitten: @ae38: Other question: are they completely, totally rich? Somehow the shot of them sitting in front of the fireplace, combined with their healthy tans and the dad's general self-composure, just shouts "really, really rich" to me (but in a good way).

Paula Abdul made short work of Gokey with that idiotic "Dance Little Sister" pick, he was doomed She's probably more canny than we give her credit for.

I refuse to participate in the Idol mania.

However, I am intrigued about one thing. What is a purple nurple?
