TUNES – 73

Posted on | March 28, 2009 | 1 Comment

American Idol seems even more contrived & fixed this year than ever. The way the judges gush over Adam Lambert no matter what is a big clue (though Simon was forced to admit he was “horrendous” after his vomit inducing rendition of “Ring of Fire”) I mention him specifically because D figured out who Adam reminds me of – Chris Gaines! (physically, anyway)



So, for all you folks on Twitter gushing about how fresh & new he is, I want to point out that he is simply chanelling the crazy that came out during a country star’s midlife crisis…in the ’90s.
In honor of Chris Gaines’ return to the spotlight, I will feature his album on the RadioBlog.
Of course, being Garth, he managed to get a hit even in his detour – Lost in You (Actually, the whole album holds up pretty well musically, considering)

    I do have to admit that I do like Adam. I’ve always liked him. Though what he did to Ring of Fire grossed me out. He TOTALLY ruined that song. As far as Simon, I don’t think he would lie. If you give a crap performance he’ll say so and if you give a good one, he’ll say so. I’m guessing Adam, The Widower and that 16 year old girl will make the top three.
    I don’t think I’ve heard of Chris Gains but you are right, I see the similarity. Wow.
