American Idol Final 7: Adam Lambert Born to be Wild

Once again, in my always humble opinion, Adam Lambert was the best of the night, by a HUGE margin, on last night's American Idol.

This week it was songs from the movies. Adam Lambert picked Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild from Easy Rider.

He sang it in full rocker mode. It's like this guy is already a seasoned superstar and the other 6 are on an entirely different show. I get bored as the others sing, I'm totally entertained when this Adam guy does his thing.

One real oddball thing from last night. Because last week's American Idol ran long, this week the judges commented in pairs. Simon and Paula being one pair and Randy and Kara being the other. This seemed to defeat the purpose of having judges comment. At times Simon was left having to express himself with looks of disdain at particularly inane Kara comments.

If they needed to save time, rather than shutting up half the judges half the time, why not cut out some of the other stuff? Like the long intro to guest mentor, Quentin Tarantino. Or some of the other blather.
