American Idol Season Premiere




I can't believe it's back already. It seems like just yesterday that we were having a party at work when Sanjaya got voted off and when I was boycotting the finale. Ahh, the memories. Well, American Idol is back. I have already resigned myself to the fact that someone goofy is going to win so now I can just sit back and enjoy this crap. The lengthy audition process has begun (the final 12 portion doesn't start until March 11). First up Illadephia. It was a good show. Randy didn't say too many "dawgs", Paula didn't get on my nerves and Simon's writers had some fresh jokes. Standouts from last night included:


- The Linebacker: I still don't know if that was a girl or a guy. I think the judges walked her out because they were scared of being tackled. Couldn't someone had smartened her up that she couldn't sing before she got dragged into this mess?


- The Crazy "Janis Joplin" Lady: This lady had borderline talent, got rejected, then went on a whiny tirade about what a jerk Simon was. The problem? Simon was nice to her! So she had to still go on with her pre-planned tirade anyway and made more of a fool of herself.


- The Girl with the Sick Child: She said that she didn't care about being a star, she just wanted to get enough money to take care of her child, who had some rare disease. Oh man, if she doesn't win....... wooooo, let me get it together.


- Log Cabin Girl: She lives in a log cabin! She loves horses! She's a cage fighter! She's marginally hot in Kellie Pickler sort of way! She's going to the final 12!


- The Guy Who Was Dressed As Princess Leia: Dude, is really that important to be on TV? Damn. At least make the stuff funny.


- The Guy Who Said "Delaware Tech, represent!"


- The Star Wars Girl at the End: Dear Lord, please help this woman. Again, how come someone didn't smarten this girl up that she couldn't sing before she came all the way to Philadelphia? At least now she will be a "star" in her little town for the next twenty years as "the girl who was on the same channel as Andy Griffith that time".


Tonight, more auditions!
