Well, if you even half ass watch American Idol like I do half the time, you probably already know that besides the contestants each singing two songs from Neil Diamond last night, Paula Abdul probably had too many lines of coke because she began critiquing their second songs when they had not even sung them yet. Ryan Seacrest tried to pass it off as her being psychic and joked that she was seeing into the future. Paula stuttered and blinked and then said, “This is hard.” Poor Paula.
Although I don’t really care for any of them this year, I’m going to say that David Cook will win. AI has yet to tap into that rocker genre, and with the success of Chris Daughtry they are way passed due. Ooooh, but the fans decide, right? Ha! Ha! If they did, then we all know David Archuleta would win. That kid is as cute and humble as a button, but Simon and the others know he is NOT marketable. He’d end up being another Taylor Hicks, and when’s the last time you heard one of his songs on the radio?
But it wouldn’t surprise me if poor Brooke White goes home tonight. With all of her mess ups, she’s way past due. She did okay last night. I personally loved her second song, I Am…I Said, the best out of all of them. But there’s not a single one left whose album I would personally want to buy. American Idol has just lost its flare. It’s too much. It’s gone on too long. And therefore, it’s lost my attention span.
I’m always glad to see AI go though because that means So You Think You Can Dance is starting. May 22nd is the 2 hour premiere. Now that’s a reality show that is still hot!!
