American Idol was so bad tonight that I had to take a few minutes to write about it. Seriously, what's going on with this season? It's so BORING. None of the singers are consistent--if they were good last week, you can bet they're going to suck this week. I hate to say it, but I think after watching every season of this show I'm about to break up with it. No one stands out, makes me go, "wow." Let me break it down by contestant:
Anoop--Of them all, Anoop was the one I was rooting for, what with him being a Tar Heel and all. But he's made bad song choice after bad song choice. "You Were Always On My Mind" has been his best performance, everything else was ho-hum. Tonight he did "Caught Up" by Usher. Of all the Usher songs, THAT'S the one he chose? Whatever.
Kris--He is sweetly adorable, and his singing and guitar playing go great together. When he sings, I enjoy it, but five minutes later I've forgotten it. It's the type of music I would listen to idly on the radio, but never download.
Megan--Sweet baby Jesus, she sucks. Why did the judges make her a wildcard? She's never in tune, she dances weirdly, and she always looks as if she's going to start laughing mid-song.
Matt--The judges are trying to sell him as a sexy Justin Timberlake type, but I'm not buying it. He's not charismatic, and I don't find him attractive at all. Vocally, he's alright, but certainly nothing special.
Scott--Let's get real here: Scott is an average singer who has made it this far because he has got the nice-guy-who's-overcoming-a-disability factor. And good lord, what did they do to his hair tonight? He looked like Jerry Seinfeld circa 1995. That's just not right.
Lil--Good singer, but very boring. Bad song choices ("Independence Day") may be the death of her.
Allison--She acts like she's trying to be Pink's little sister. She's had her moments where she's shone, but not enough for me to consistently pick up the phone and vote for her.
Danny--He can take his fake sensitive, inspirational, humble, "aw, golly gee!" schtick and shove it where the sun don't shine.
I feel so much better now that I've gotten that off my chest. Really, I think it's better if I break up with the show now. I gave this show a chance, but not even the memories of the good old days (oh, Kelly Clarkson) can make me stick around.
