idle time

melinda doolittle got the boot on american idle last night.  crazy.  the only actual singer the show has ever had got greased.  neither of the two finalists can actually sing in tune.  i definitely won't be tuning in next week to watch that musical debauchery.  this is my favorite melinda performance:

tell me that isn't great singing.  if she puts out a torch song cd, i'll definitely buy it.  as for the idle, i really hope that show runs it's course soon.

what a slacker...

...me that is.  i had a rehearsal last night that got out at ten.  then i talked to the gf for awhile on the phone since she's out of town.  stopped to get some mexican take out for a late dinner.  got home and played some online poker.  as i was getting ready for the sleepy time, i realized i only voted for sangina 8 times.  i hope he pulls through.  we'll find out tonight.

after all how could you not want this to be the face of american pop music?

i sure am loving the porn 'stache.  that's worth at least another 10 - 15 votes.  i'm such a slacker.

vote for the worst...please!

it's been super long since i've posted anything on the interweb.  my sincere apologies to the 3.5 people who may or may not read my drivel.  i've had a myriad of things going on since i last posted, and plenty of them were, and are worthy to share and or rant about.  bottom line, i've been a lazy ass.  no promises, but i'll try to be more diligent.

let me begin by saying i have a confession.  it's rather shocking, and more than slightly embarrassing to me.  so in true twelve step fashion here it is:

my name is lee, and i watch american idol.

damn that was tough.  i'm honestly not sure how it happened.  i've always enjoyed the first few episodes of american idle every year.  why you ask?  because it's friggin' hilarous, that's why.  also, i take joy in other peoples shortcomings.  it makes me feel better about myself.  who doesn't enjoy watching others humiliate themselves publicy?  besides the whole spectacle is amusing. from watching skanks and transvestites singing on national tv, to watching a grown man say yo dawg over and over again while wearing a cowboy hat, to watching an overweight limey wearing shirts so tight you can see his nipples (gross).  let us also not forget, the world's greatest drug addicted cheerleader/ex-pop star.

something strange happened this year though.  i'm still watching it.  well after they reject all the losers in every city in the country.  at first i watched because it was a complete train wreck, who doesn't like one after all?  then i began to once again despise the show for what it was, a bunch of non musical idiots who are further eroding an art form that i hold especially dear.  when i finished a particularly spiteful diatribe against the spandex clad, nipple protruding brit who created the show, a friend told me how to fight back.  vote for the worst.  plain and simple.  keep the worst one on for as long as possible.  hell, maybe even help them win.  just imagine if the worst possible "contestant" wins the whole damn shooting match.  wouldn't that be fantastic, and hilarious at the same time?

some of the 3.5 readers at this point are undoubtedly saying, "but, what about the truly talented ones on the show".  i would say this, if they are truly talented they'll get their shots now, after all they just got some serious publicity singing on national television.

come to find out, there is a website dedicated to the whole process. it's linked at the bottom of this post.  as well as the website, the howard stern show has jumped all over it as well. they even tell you how to vote for the worst without actually watching the show. if you are stronger than people like myself this is an appealing option.

i'm not here to rip apart the poor kid who is the worst at this point.  i just wish that his family and friends would have been honest with him as a young child, and told him the truth.  the truth being, he has no musical talent whatsoever.  not even a little bit.  seriously, the kid's a joke, and a very bad one at that.

so if you like, please tune in and watch the continued dumbing down of america.  remember though, always vote for the worst.
