Anybody can do the things I do. The lack of talent has taken its toll

votefortheworst.comstrikes again.  They want you to vote for what they (and most other talent seeking individuals) think is the absolute worst singer on Idol.  I have to admit, I don’t disagree with with everything that their site says, even though I am a die hard American Idol fan.  They’re basically saying that some people, even though they have severe lack of talent, are pushed through to make for better reality television.  The spot that they take in the finals could have been taken instead by a way more talented person. 

The thing that I do  disagree with is their thinking that by keeping these people on the show and encouraging people to vote for them that they are making Idol more enjoyable and entertaining.  This may be the case for some people, but it irritates the ever living fuck out of me.  There are people on there that have been bumped off that are WAY more deserving to stay in the competition, and that really sucks. 

Does votefortheworst really work?  Yeah, I think that it does.  Why do you think Kevin Covious stayed in the competition so long last season?  Because he was talented?  Yeah – RIGHT. 

dialidol.com is a site that measures the busy signal to predict who will be voted off American Idol.  It was 87% accurate last year.  I remember checking the site the day of the elimination show last season to see who would be voted off that night, and most of the time they were right. 

Dialidol has Sanjaya Malakar in the top three.  Yes.  You read that correctly.  THE TOP THREE.  Seriously?  Sanjaya absolutely SUCKS.  He has zero talent, and even LESS THAN ZERO stage presence.  He should have gone home a lonnnnnnnnng time ago.

Ask me why he’s still there?  Go ahead, ask me.  Why?  Because of votefortheworst.com.  He is their project of the moment.    So to repeat the question, does votefortheworst.com really work?  You be the judge……

It’s all over but the crying,fade to black I’m sick of trying

I have a question (to no one in particular, but whatever…)

WHY does American Idol make the voted off contestants perform their song once again on the elimination show?  I think it’s totally cruel to basically say “Hey!  You totally sucked, America thought as much.  At this very moment, all of your hopes and dreams are being crushed into a million slivers but how about you choke down that lump, wipe away those tears, and give us ANOTHER performance of the song that propelled you into elimination without your voice cracking!!!”  Hey!  What a GREAT idea!!!!!!  

What an emotional bunch we have this season.  Poor Alaina could’nt even get through her song last night after being eliminated.  I felt for her, and wondered why American Idol does that?  I mean, if they are hell bent on making them perform again, could they perhaps wait until the contestant has regained a little bit of their dignity/composure???? 

I have also stopped wondering why a certain person (or people) are still in the competition (hello Antonella, hello Sanjaya).  I have come to understand that in the beginning, it is all just a popularity contest.  Antonella has the people that are peeking at her racy online photos voting to keep her in, and Sanjaya is probably being kept in by little high school girls that think he’s cute and have no idea what real talent is.  I’m saving my irritation for  when it really gets down to the end of it.  These people won’t win.  I’m sure of it.  Eventually, they will be gone.  Neither of them are the next American Idol.

Oh, and WTF happened to Kelly Pickler?  Is it me, or did she age, like 15 years????????
