American Idol - getting down to it

I'm so fired up right now discussing American Idol. For the last however many seasons, you couldn't PAY me to watch this show, however, this year, I am completely and totally sucked in. It's justified, however, in that it is a genuine talent show, unlike many of these other loser reality shows. (thank you, pc - and yes - even he is sucked in)

My personal favorite is Alison. She's amazing. For 16, this girl is just a hard core rocker chick with an incredible voice and a sweet disposition, and I just adore her. However, we all know that Adam is going to win, so why put us through the next 6 weeks or so and just crown him the AI Prince '09?

Shawn said something funny last night, that Ryan Seacrest should be in the bottom 3. Of course, this generated hysterical laughter from yours truly. I said, "Don't let me forget to put that in the blog." So, here it is.

Neep and I are just discussing at how horribly they treat Lil'. As she pointed out "Lil' is the dopest name of all time." I have to agree. Lil' Fitzgerald...hmmm....

Anyway, why are the judges so mean to her?! She has an incredible voice, is a very sweet girl, she tries so hard. Her song choices and arrangements are not any worse than some of the others including Adam and Danny, IMO. Danny was a bit too Vegas for me, even though September is one of my all time favorite songs. My least favorite, Kris, managed to win me over, however, with his super-cool, acoustic rendition of "She Works Hard for the Money." I even voted for him, but HELLO?!?!? Is it just me? That is NOT a disco song!!! Just because it was sung by a famous Disco singer, does NOT make it disco! It debuted in 1983 for crying out loud!

I was also excited to hear Adam's rendition of "If I Can't Have You". GREAT song. Horrible rendition. I'm sorry, I didn't like it. There, I said it. Is it going to stop him from winning? No. I just thought the judges were way off on that one. Finally, I, personally, loved Matt's version of "Staying Alive". Tough song, I agree, but I thought he put a cool style into the performance. Guess, I might be the only one.

I told Shawn that I should be a judge, and he said "pm - you ARE judging." To which I replied, yes, but my talents are being wasted on this couch! The world should hear what I have to say!

Hence, the blog....tell your friends.
