I Hate Clay Aiken And I Hate His Ass Face.
Look, y'all-- a flamewar I have nothing to do with!!

Seems like the fans of now-ousted American Idol contestant Josh "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Gracin, the singing Marine, have decided to take their grief and sorrow about their loss of Josh's weekly off-key uninspiring uncharismatic warbling out onto fellow contestant Clay Aiken.

Apparently, Clay sucks because SURE he's, like, an amazing singer and everything, but I hate him anyway because he rolls his eyes and acts dramatic when he sings. And also, he really, really can't dance. Or dress. Only a complete fucktard would then fail to see that the superior performer is OBVIOUSLY Ruben, who can't dance, dresses in the dark, rolls his eyes a lot, and acts dramatic when he sings. You stupid bitches.

I'm sure that makes sense to someone, somewhere. Possibly Paula Abdul, after her daily fistful of 'ludes.

Why am I not surprised that a certain poster decided to weigh in and hurl her favorite insult?

Some people's children.

I have no idea what you're referring to, but it's very amusingly nitpicky.

Fangirl #1: Clay Sux0rz because he's like, stupid looking and can't dance. Only stupid teenies like him. Ruben roolz!

Fangirl #2: Uh. I'm 42 and I love Clay.

Fangirl #3: BTW, Ruben's pretty stupid looking too. And he can't dance either.

Fangirl #1: SHUT UP. Ruben doesn't have to. Because he roolz. Weren't you listening?

*g*

It baffles me too, frankly. But then, I dont' get the whole American Idol phenomenon. I think my jaw hit the floor when my beloved sister informed me that she has taken to watching American Idol.

Someone should make a "my fandom can't dance" icon for Clay.

Poor little geek. He really is better suited for Broadway with that booming voice of his. As for the other two remaining contestants...in Simon's words...so what?

Ehh, these days, Broadway is pop is Broadway. You find everything from rap to opera to jazz to swing to R&B to gospel to rock on the stage nowadays. So the average schmoe on Broadway is apt to be like 500 times better than everyone on the radio. :)

Come on, we all know Clay is holding back his true talents, because that boy is gay, gay, gay!

I've read somewhere that the man can't be gay because of the way he moves his hips. Definetely straight, according to whoever said that.

Of course I'm still trying to figure out how you can tell if someone is gay or not because of his hips. Last I've checked, they were needed, no matter what gender you were sleeping with.

You totally can't.

...

But have you SEEN some of the shirts he wears? There's no gay man alive that would be caught dead in an orange, yellow and teal striped oversized shirt on national television.
I'm just sayin'. :)

Mmmm. Simon/Clay.

Frighteningly, there's a lot of AI RPF. This season has been almost entirely Simon/Clay.

:X

Yes, it has. Which explains why there's so much RPS out there. ;)

Well, I've just wasted a whole lot of time over at http://www.livejournal.com/community/idolslash. It's mostly Ryan/Clay but there's some Simon/Ryan and Simon/Clay and even some Carmen/Kim Caldwell in there. *g*

I am so, so, so, so glad that Josh Gracin is off the television screen. My ears required several blood transfusions.

Didja notice how hard his wife cried when he lost?

I bet it's because he sings her to sleep.

Now that's an incentive for long-term insomnia.

No, she was crying 'cause he'll be moving back in with her now and she'll have to endure that scary Joker face on a daily basis again.

As for AI, it's born to wanky, isn't it? It's like giving us permission to be wanky.

It is. I mean, it essentially pits audience members against each other, by definition of how the competition works. Because if you manage to get more votes in for your guy than I do for mine, my dude's gonna lose. So people have personal stakes in who wins and who loses. Smart marketing hook if you ask me.

And, of course, the whole show has in large part been a cult of personality for Simon Cowell, who is, sexy as though he may be, the very definition of wank.

I can't work out whether I'm happy or sad that we managed to miss out most of this for the uk version. (Of course now AI is shown in the uk, so we can just join in.)

Ah well.
