I'M COMING OUT
|
...of the American Idol closet that is.
For years I've remained firm in not watching American Idol because it was too painful. I've ranted about it in many ways. Now, this isn't to say that I didn't care about it. I just couldn't watch because of the awful performances. The last time I watched was when Fantasia won. I saw her perform her 'victory song'. Prior to that... never. ANYWAY... I didn't feel I needed to watch. Because of friends like Mike & Jen and Zaida, when I worked with her I would hear about all I needed to know. I didn't have to watch. I was doing so by-proxy.
I watched American Idol this week. Admittedly, begrudgingly... but I did 'watch'. I remain firm that these people suck. Well, more specifically, the men suck. The women seem to be much better. Are the sucky men better than me? Oh, hell yeah. Do I want to hear/see someone embarrass themselves in front of millions of viewers by forgetting the lyrics and not being able to pick 'one' key to sing in? Well... I still feel their pain.
Maybe I'll have to hold out til they are down to the final two or three.
Other notes... Diana Ross looks cuh-RAZY!!! Seriously! That can't be her real hair and she should get sponsorship from Sharpie for doing her make-up. As Cute Teacher mentioned to me afterwards, her presence made Paula seem normal.
The whole closet/coming out banter that Simon and Ryan did was uncomfortable. For EVERYONE!
What the fuck is up with the music video at the beginning? Is this normal? I used to like Modest Mouse's song "Float On". Now that I have the Idolini's faux-stop animation version burned into my retinas... I may have to reconsider it occupying my playlist.
My picks? Lakisha or Melinda. I honestly think that Jennifer Hudson's big Oscar win and role in Dreamgirls will carry over to help these two go a long way.Labels: music, tv |
