Yes, I did it again. I couldn't help myself. I watched American Idol again last night. I know, I know, but I felt that I needed to watch the guys since I had talked so poorly about the women last week. This time I actually watched the entire show. The one thing I hate about American Idol. Actually let me rephrase that. One of the many things I dislike about American Idol is the fact that it is so popular. This popularity takes a show which could easily be fit into one hour and makes it 90 minutes of my time gone. Forever. Never to return.
Again, much of this is generalization, so please, all of you AI forum readers, please spare me the e-mails. To me it seems like I have seen all the guys before. No, not on past seasons of the show but rather in a Girls Gone Wild video or some other Mardi Gras video with them all yelling, "show us your tits."
Seriously. All of the guys look exactly the same and sound the same. For the most part they are atrocious and I am thinking to myself, "how bad were the rest of the people they auditioned that these guys made it through."
Again, I didn't really catch any of their names except for Jacuzzi, but to make this more readable I went back right now and looked up their names so that those of you who do watch will know who I am talking about. I will also provide my nickname for keeping them straight in my head.
Michael Johns - GGW guy #1 - awful.
Jason Castro - White guy with dreads. Have I told you how much I hate white guys with dreads? Actually though I thought he was better than the judges gave him credit for and he can play a guitar. He just needs to lose the hair.
Jason, Luke, David - GGW #2-4 respectively. Thought they were all cheesy and hated them all.
David Cook - 25 year old with a comb over. Shave it off and then you will have a chance. Not on this show, but singing at least.
Danny Noriega - Honestly I thought Jessica Alba was up on stage. To be fair though, Danny is actually better looking than Jessica.
Robbie - Bucky reincarnated.
Chikezie - Loved him, and hope he makes it. He won't win the show, but I loved him. Plus he is from LA, so have to give him some love.
David Archuleta - He should just quit now, try and get out of whatever contract they have bound him to as a minor, and then when he is 18, sign with a record company for a bazillion dollars. He is that good. Everyone else should just go home. What they need are 20 of this guy and then everyone else will watch. I am done watching American Idol for this year, but every week after this kid performs I will head over to YouTube and listen to him because he is that good.
