• I find it despicable the way Adam Lambert was treated on last night's show....April 29. To make him choose which group he should be in was extremely unfair, not to mention the shuffling of him to the "other side" was one of the most unprofessional actions I've seen. I truly believe that American Idol owes Adam, and his fans, a HUGE public apology. Fortunately for the show, Adam is more professional than any of the "professionals" and handled the whole thing with grace and dignity.....something the producers of the show should learn. Very disappointed in Boston.
