AHH, SHUT UP
I don't know what it is, but stuff seems to bother me more lately.
Crystal Bowersox for one. How can she sing, Baby, I'm Amazed, and not changed "the man" to "the woman"? Granted I'm so far out of the loop that I couldn't tell you much about Lady Gaga or this twelve-year old looking Justin Bierber or something. But I never recall any singer taking a song with the gender in it and not altering it when making it personal. Except for the know-it-all Crystal.
So I suppose you're thinking why is this guy watching The American Idol anyhow. Well, I have my reasons.
I got started watching it after two former students of mine had a daughter that advanced to the Final Eight in the kid version of the show one Summer. At least I think that's the genesis for me. Which leads me to my second reason.
I abhor commercials. Even the Super Bowl commercials. So I surf channels when one comes on. I used to be able to watch two, sometimes 3 shows at the same time. That act never much appealed to my wife who claims to be the multi-tasked one in the family. But no worries now, because the tv got in bed with the advertisers and now most all commercials are on at the same time, which put an end to my dual or tri-watch. So I'm relatively certain that I found the singers in AI before Jordan McCoy starred. And let me add that Idol is very easy to watch that way. When too much Seacrest happens, which is almost always when his mug appears, just click; so I'm not really watching a lot of the show. With all the sports channels I get, that's where I am most of the evening.
The third, and I won't say final, but I may nevertheless write no more reasons, is Simon. I find myself agreeing with him more than any other judge. If it's terrible, that's what he tells them. Most at least listen, but as soon as Crystal starts getting some heat, constructive or not, she starts objecting. That's another time when I just want to say, "shut up".
So I guess you see that I'll be pulling for Lee in next week's finale. I've thought he was the only one to be able to beat her anyhow, though after three weeks or so, I thought Michael Lynch had a shot. He faded as much as last year's winner who's name is Chris Allen I believe, but he nor anyone else has performed better this year than Lambert with Mad World last season.
