OH MY GOD

This happened on the American Idol finale, which I would not have known if the producers of Countdown weren't crazy fanpersons with a secret slasher streak hadn't brought it to our attention. It's some fellow getting a special moment in the spotlight with some singer that people apparently care about.

I'm kidding--I do, in fact, know who Ryan Seacrest and Clay Aiken are, and having that information does compound by many degrees of magnitude how GAY this clip is, and it was already GAYER THAN EIGHT GUYS BLOWING NINE GUYS.

Is this show like that frequently? Is that why you're all watching it? Because if it is, I'm sold.

They usually do a clunky job of playing up the "we're not gay!/we're totally gay!" punchline on the show, but because they do at least play with it, every once in a while they hit one out of the park, as is demonstrated with this awesome moment. It was beautiful, wasn't it? The perfect mix of funny and humiliating and earnest and GAY and genuine and manufactured and omg, just everything AI is and wants to be, all in one brief clip.

It was totally awesome. It was so gay I couldn't believe I was watching it on TELEVISION. Not just on television, but on, like, normal people television. I may have to watch this ridiculous show next year. Dammit, it's Smallville all over again. . .
