No Faith in the American Public

What were you thinking people? Carly leaving American Idol? That's just wrong. I will now have to stop watching for the rest of the season. Because clearly the best singer is not going to win. Lets look at our options from this week again....

Syesha - She had fun with a Broadway song and sang it well. She's not my favourite, but she wasn't the second worst!

David A. - Thank you Andrew Lloyd Webber for finally telling him to open his eyes. I don't really like him, but at least he did something interesting with the song.

Brooke - Um, I want to like her because she is interesting, but I'm getting a bit sick of her wounded dear look and her need to explain everything. She was okay, but not great, and probably should've been in the bottom two.

David C. - He should win the whole thing. But I was a tad disappointed in him this week. I told the Music Man when I heard it was ALW week, "As long as nobody sings anything from Phantom we should be okay." Hmmm.

Carly - Um, hello people. This girl has a voice. She sang a great song that suited her perfectly and she did it well. My only possible theory is that the Heartland of America was offended by her song choice, being from JCSS and all. (As an aside - There was a girl in my high school who would say "Superstar" really quickly whenever someone said "JC" as a curse. Like that cancelled it out or something. Bren, do you know who I mean?)

Jason Castro - aka Jason Castrato. (well, okay, not really, but eeeeeew. He looks like a girl.) Ugh. Please stop voting for him! He chose a song that is super well known, and has a bit of a reputation for being typical "cheesy musical theatre". And he didn't even know it. And then, he sang it like crap. Come on, America. Get it right next time.

Thus ends my American Idol rant.

thank you.

Tsk tsk. We disagree on American Idol. Carly went home because she sang a song that COULD possibly be read as blasphemous AND she's unlikeable. The fact that she's really talented wasn't enough to win over people.
Jason? If I was 18, I would want him for my very own stoner boyfriend.

Man, what did she sing? Can you believe I have NEVER seen one episode of AI?!? I just can't stand seeing people sing, especially songs I might like. I'm a snob that way. I'm sorry we disappointed you but I would expect nothing less from the American television viewers!!

Don't blame me, I don't even watch the show!

I haven't heard much of the scandal this year.

I have a few suspects in mind but can't think of that ONE person....you'll have to tell me on the weekend...

I wish we got Fox so I could watch AI and lament the butchering of popular music with you. Alas...

Only four more sleeps!
