OMG so much of this!! everytime anyone says he's a douche it's "wait, you know about his "condition" right?! :

This little turd doesn't exhibit any of the other symptoms of Aspergers so I'm sorry he gets no consideration from me just because he can't keep his mouth shut.

He'll be gone sooner rather than later at this rate. Condition or not no one likes a shit talker who hasn't proven themselves. People cut Gene Simmons a break cuz he's from a legedary rock band but even he started getting shit when he wouldn't shut up about Adam.

It will be at 8:00 pm EST +7hr (time difference with Greece) = Thursday at 3:00 am (hope my arithmetics is correct)

Gelly, Idol finale is going to be at 5PM Adam's time on Wednesday.

'American Idol' Preview: Scotty McCreery Vs. Lauren Alaina
Which country kid will come out on top?
By Eric Ditzian (@ericditzian)

Yet "Idol," historically, has been filled with shocking finales. Observers, even veteran ones, make guaranteed predictions at their own peril. Last year, while neither Lee DeWyze nor Crystal Bowersox ever landed in the bottom on elimination nights, opinions coalesced around the idea that the dreadlocked soul sister deserved to best the rather milquetoast soft rocker. DeWyze came out the winner. In 2009, no one could dispute Adam Lambert was one of the most original and inspiring contestants ever to take the "Idol" stage, and still, he lost to Kris Allen. And who can forget the mind-boggling 2006 finale, when Chris Daughtry had already been booted and Taylor Hicks rode his soul train to victory over Katharine McPhee?
