American Idle

Is it just me and my sister or is anybody else watching American Idol? This is the first time I've watched it from (almost) beginning to end. Its actually kind of interesting...in-between blogging at the same time, of course.
I never cared much before to watch AI because I thought these contestants were humiliated and ridiculed by Simon Cowell. But in actuality I think its Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson who are the buffoons. After watching, I find myself actually agreeing with Simon Cowell most of the time. These three are btw the judges, case you didn't know. At least in the beginning. The rest is up to the public, you and I to judge the winner.

So I watched last night's episode where they've eliminated another four contestants. Two girls, two boys. There was a bit of a weepy flavor to see them rejected because....well...they just weren't good enough. According to you and me, anyway. There was some mega sobbing going on when Kady Malloy(I think it was) Aliana Whitaker got the boot. Poor girl, completely lost it. And the rest of the girls were sobbing along with her. If you listened closely you might have even heard them harmonizing. It was quite a show. So much so, I asked myself.....uhhh, do they not realize that being eliminated is very possible...if not, probable? I suppose they think it couldn't happen to them. Of course not, thats the reason they're competing for the American Idol title, right?
So they kept panning over to gay blade (and I mean that in the most affectionate way) Danny Noriega, who completely and totally lost it. He was worse than his girlfriends. Poor boy lost control of himself. By this time I thought to myself....I really need to change the channel. At least until these Drama Queens have had their 15 minutes of auditioning for an acting role. Oh, I'm just kidding. Maybe. I know they just got caught up in the moment and forgot about the 500 million people who were watching.

I'll watch next week and probably the week after that. Until the last one is standing. I almost look forward to it. I'm going to blame this on my sister. She's the one got me watching this silly program. Yup...its her fault.
