Yes, I’ll be here tonight at 8 Eastern for our annual liveblog of the American Idol finale (and back again at the same time tomorrow). To celebrate this momentous occasion, here are a few factoids about your finalists’ hairdos! • Adam Lambert’s slicked-down look on “The Tracks Of My Tears” took 25 minutes to create. “Many times, it’s just a matter of flat-ironing Adam’s hair [so] it’s not sticking up,” Idol stylist Raissa Patton told Newsday. His ‘do last week, for comparison’s sake, took about 20 minutes to complete. • In contrast, it takes about 13 minutes to do Kris Allen’s hair. “It’s not that Kris doesn’t care. He’s a casual guy, great looking and so genuine, and he’s not trying to pull any punches or convince any people, he’s any different than he is,” Patton said. Aw! • Adam is a natural strawberry blonde! I know, right? Crazy! ‘American Idol’ hairstylist: Adam Lambert’s hair ‘shocked’ me, Kris Allen’s is a breeze [Newsday]
