Alright, for those of you who watched last night's American Idol and are already demanding a recap—back off. (Seriously. The show is on like eight times a week, and those recaps take time, people!) That said, we wanted to assure you that we did, in fact, see the show, and yes, we certainly enjoyed the amazingly awkward banter between judge Simon Cowell and (horribly dressed) host Ryan Seacrest. Especially the part where Seacrest may or may not have been outed:
Seacrest: Simon, any advice on the high heels?
Cowell: You should know, Ryan!
Seacrest: (awkward pause) Stay out of my closet!
Cowell: Come out!
What'd we tell you? Pure television magic! Anyhow, seeing as we're far too lazy busy to write an actual in-depth summary of last night's episode at present,** we figured we'd tide you over with this poignant video clip, that comes to us courtesy of our gay younger brother, Queerty.
**That's an afternoon job!
The producers of this show need to get their shit together. This is not harmless banter. All this constant gay-baiting on this show has serious consequences. And I really don't give a crap if either one of them is actually gay.
Having these two men gay-bait each other insultingly, and with real malice, week after week on the highest-rated show in America is doing a huge disservice to gay America, and America as a whole. It needs to stop.
I agree with Adam. This subtle gay bashing on Idol has gone on far too long. My boyfriend and I cringe everytime Cowell makes one of these remarks which we are so growing very tired of.
I'm with Adam and Bobby… the message being put out there is not cool and propagates negative stereotypes. Think of all the teenagers that watch these two idiots bully eachother about being gay. There's enough of that in the schoolyards. GREAT message to send out there! And who really cares if Ryan is or not. They need to stick to what the show's about… MUSIC. Even if Cowell's taste and opinion is questionable in that area. I'm over AI.
who cares. the show is about voices. period
God their banter is the best part of the show for Gods sake especially given the crap line up we have to work with this year
Grow up!! We can't say ANYTHING NOW!! Everything has to be so politically correct? BS! This is why we are in such trouble in the US now.. we can't say anything without someone getting insulted.
Oh my gosh…Everything is so offensive all the time. Who cares? In the words of a 9 year old that I know.."build a bridge and get over it!"
Does anyone REALLY think that this 'banter' is accidental?
Once you might say its a slip.
But hey, it gets the housewives something to talk about during the karaoke show.
Adamblast has had too many jism blasts to the face. He is obviously a flamer or his fag ass wouldn't be so upset. Fuck you homo boy
Hey #9 you ugly little douchebag at least adamblast has probably had sex, no one wants your nasty shit!
I don't care if the whole damn panel is gay. Who cares??!!
If you're expecting tact from American Idol, then you must have lived under a rock for these past, I dunno, five years. And if you really want them to stop, send a nasty letter to the studios and threaten to personally stop watching unless they stop with the gay jokes. I'm sure it'll completely solve the problem.
Goodness Tired Of The Gays Bitchin And Bitchin!!! Everyone Gets So Offended Over Everything Then They Are Ready 2 Sue Somebody. Get Over It U Chose 2 B Gay,yes I Said Chose Cuz U Did. U Cannot Choose Color Of Your Skin But U Can Choose Whether Or Not U Get Poked In The Ass So Quit Cryin Get Over It!!!
okay enough enough! Gay, straight..who cares. It is entertaining television. Every week we who love American Idol can not wait to hear the comments between Simon and Ryan. Although I do believe that Ryan handles himself well with these stupids comments from Simon.
Also, I just want to say that my favorite contestant this season is LAKISHA~ GO LAKISHA!!!!.. The girl can sang anything, looks great, and absolutely deserves to be in the final two. I also really like Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, and Melinda. Sanjaya should quit the show and then bring back Sabrina who I think was one of the best female vocalists. What do you think?
I hope Ryan Seacrest Is Not GAY because He is so HOT that he could get any girl that he wants. And if he is dating that Ken dude and he is gay he should get a hot guy not some ugly man like Ken. But hopefully he is not GAY cause he is HOT!!!!!!!!
