Well, well, well... a brand new year begins, but the same old obssession remains. American Idol is back and bigger than ever, and even though I make no money on the show, I couldn't be happier (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070117/ap_en_tv/tv_american_idol_ratingsS). And with so many millions glued to their TV screens, I figured there's no better time to dedicate my new blog to all things Idol. We're only just gearing up, but here's a forum in which I can rip on the bad, cry for the good, and get great new makeup tips from Randy Jackson. What more could you want in a show? Everyone's watching it - now, all of us can talk about it too.
So, I start with a few questions:
1 - Lindsay Lohan can check into rehab but Paula Abdul can't? What's wrong with this picture?
2 - "Yes to Hollywood" t-shirts should be hot on the fashion market, and yet, I see none. What's wrong with this picture?
3 - People in Seattle and Minneapolis apparently can't sing. Nothing wrong with that picture - why the hell is AI even looking for stars in these places? Don't the producers know that people crazy enough to hone their solo singing talents aren't going to hug trees in snow and rain to make it big? Besides, virtually every winner on the show has been from the South anyway. Why don't they stop the madness and stick to the red states. People down there may not be able to pick a president, but they sure as hell know how to win talent shows. I mean, look at what Kelly Pickler has done with less talent and grace than my stuffed CareBear. It's almost moving, in some sick, backwards way.
Lastly, I ask you this:
4 - Why was the premiere so unfunny? The editing team needs to get their game a bit tighter to deserve the 40 million viewers they've earned over time. Shape up people. We pay good DVR money to see funny stuff before the competition actually begins... I want to see at least one more dude run to the bathroom in slow motion like one did so well in '06. Just one. Just once.
Let the madness begin!!!

The premeire (at least MN one--I haven't watched Seattle yet) was definitely unfunny. It was actually more sad and o.O inspiring than funny. And the Bible Belt, baby! That's where you sing in Chu'ch and hone that gift from Gawd and showmanship.
I hope next week's shows are better, because I found myself growing really bored.
Viva AI!
YES! I'm so happy this show is back though a solid 70% of the last 2 nights made me wonder why that was. If I'm gonna be forced to watch bad singing, make it FUNNY! More laugh, less please-make-it-stop. A few people though were real treasures- one of whom was the loveliness that was Misha and her mom. I don't think anyone wishes their girlfriend was hot like her so that as her true song choice was just GREAT. Funny, for everyone who chose that song, the answer was mostly HELL NO! Oh, PCD, please un-do that voodoo you did way too well!
Jo, you crack me up!!!
