Ok, am I the only person who feels like American Idol is really not living up to their end of the deal? What the hell kind of themes are they expecting us to watch? Mariah Carey? Neil Diamond? Dolly Parton? Andrew Lloyd Webber???? While I agree, all of those performers have definitely etched their way into the music history books, do people really want to listen to them now? The demographic for AI is probably
15-25, so you can't tell me that the above mentioned artists are current and popular with that demographic. And when did Mariah Carey stop singing? All she does now is ooh and ahh and touch herself on stage. Puh-leese.
Anyway...AI is complaining about their ratings being so low lately and they are even looking for ways to re-invent it for next season! Um, HELLOOOOOOOOO...LET THEM SING CONTEMPORARY SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they probably ARE in fact, the most talented group ever, but I'm not so sure we'll ever get to see that talent to the fullest extent because they keep picking crappy genres for them to choose crappy songs!
I'm frustrated with this season. If I had known it was going to suck this hard, I would have never invested all this time in it...
And can we just take a minute to discuss the fact that Paula Abdul must have been smoking crack this evening? She was commenting on David Cook's second song before he even performed it! KooKooBird!
Here's my breakdown of what I think about the remaining 5 "Idols":
David Archuleta - You are a robot. Grow some bolts and quit singing the songs your dad picks!
Brooke White - I wish she had a range. Brooke is great, but she tends to stay in the safe zone. Get out!
Syesha Mercado - You are NOT Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, or Celine Dion. Please stop thinking you are.
Jason Castro - I'm over the dred-locked John Travolta look-alike. Lay off the 420.
David Cook - David probably deserves to win this the most. At least he can take these BORING songs and breathe new life into them.
And there you have it folks. I just needed to get that off my chest. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs...
Happy New Year, and a Merry Christmas!
