the awesome/terrifying freedom

joshua gracin remains the only remaining 'mckibbin' on american idol. although trenyce is walking the line.

trenyce is a teddy ruxpin. pop a tape of your favorite hit into her back and she comes out with a strangely mechanical re-creation of a performance. it's like she's at a party, doing an imitation of herself for anecdotal purposes. except no one laughs at the end. so she says 'i guess you had to be there,' which is an excuse.

anytime someone says 'i guess you had to be there' a fun thing to say back is 'no, i guess you just need to learn how to tell a story.' that always makes friends.

so we're left with kimberley locke, ruben studdard, and clay aiken. which is great because no matter who wins, none of them fit the conventional pop star mold. clay especially because he's gay kids, he's gay!

the big question, and probably the questionthat brough you to this website is 'is clay aiken gay?' a better question is 'does clay aiken even know he's gay?' i think the answer to both is a solid yes. he may look conflicted, but i think his only conflict is figuring out which magazine will get his exclusive coming out interview. 'the advocate' is so jim verraros. he needs to think bigger. i guess it depends on if he wins. if he wins then it will be in 'time.' if he loses, it'll be in 'hx.'
