I just can't believe what america has for ears. Last night Jennifer Hudson was x-ed from American Idol. Over Fantasia?!?!?!?!?!? What are they listening to?! I still am iin shock, and dissapionted because she was one of the best in the group, while Barino is one of the most annoying talentless YUCKS that has the nerve to call herself a singer.
Those American Idol contestants have strange names... as I remember it, 'Fantasia' was some Disney film...
Anyway. I do try my hardest to avoid Pop Idol (the British equivilent) like the plague.
Well, the first few shows are OK, where they show all the godawful ones, but people now try far too hard just for their 15 minutes. I mean, what kind of self-respecting man would dress in a banana castume, singing "I've got you under my skin" in front of millions of viewers?
And the finalists are even worse!
Oh, and btw, America... you're more than welcome to Simon Cowell...
I only watch the auditions and the very last episode of AI so I know what everyone's talking about in school the next day.
I think AI is a pathetic way to get to the top. Cheating, almost. At least Britney Spears started out in the Mickey Mouse Club (NO I'm not supporting her). It just makes me cringe to see these people get their 15 minutes.
You take a band like Queen who started from scratch... then again, they've been around forever. These people? Here today... gone tomorrow.
