Have all you haters come around yet!?

"...And, finally, well past the top of the hour, which might have caused some people to miss it, Adam Lambert, born in 1982, chose Tears for Fears' "Mad World." Only, in keeping with his David Cook-like desire to perform unusual twists on songs, he performed it as sung by Gary Jules in the cult flick "Donnie Darko." Seated center stage, bathed in an otherworldly blue spotlight and singing only in his keening falsetto, Lambert stopped the clocks by performing the already dramatic song with perfectly executed stagecraft and hitting a spine-tingling high note at the end. As he has almost every week, Lambert found a way to take a song and make it an event. Due to time constraints (and seemingly also because of the sheer power of the performance), Simon was the only judge to speak, and he simply gave Lambert a standing ovation. 'Nuff said."
I heart him. When you decided you heart him to, just remember who hearted him from the VERY beginning. 'Nuff said.

I missed it last night....Simon gave him a standing O? SIMON?!?!?? Wow. I'm sad I missed it. Guess I'll be checking it out on line. And I've said from the beginning that he'll win. I can't say I heart him. I don't heart any of them! ;) But I do like him and think he performs great!

I almost texted you last night after he performed but I realized it was like midnight there.... Ya Hil, it was pretty freaking amazing. For sure the best Idol performance ever. I watched it over again and didn't delete it incase i wanted to watch it again.

I'm not saying he is going win, but he won a percentage of my american idol heart.
