American Idol!

Sucks. obvs. But on the for realsies, I feel like "the Voice" has given me what I have been lacking with AI for a while. And look, I know this much seem so very gay, or irrelevant, to those among you that don't give a fuck about this stuff, but I finally figured out that, this is females and gay folks and anyone who doesn't give a hang about sports, sports. And for those of you that are into music for the way it makes you feel, this shit is for the people who like it for the performance. I mean, I like the way music makes me feel too, but I also like seeing someone just fucking KILL a note that you can tell she's striving for, and I love rooting for someone that can bring together a performance that just gets it on every level. And that is why I have always been, and will continue to be, a fan of Idol, the X-Factor, the Voice, whatevs. Fantasia on Summertime. Haley on House of the Rising Sun. Shit, Siobhan on House of the Rising Sun. Adam on Mad World. Kris on Heartless. David Cook on Always Be my Baby. Carrie on Alone

That being said, I thought this season sucked. I think not being judged in any way made too many of them think that they were beyond reproach or criticism, and they weren't. I almost wrote a blog post when Pia was eliminated, because she was who I thought should win, but you know what? She IS boring, and uncharismatic. So, meh. I liked James Durbin, and I thought he slayed it on "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", and had a real "Idol moment", but on the for reals, he was a less in tune Adam. Sorry, player haters, but he was.

However, I always like the AI final like some people always like the Superbowl. I just like to see people sing and dance, and do it reasonably well, and I do always like to see some of those crazy kids sing with actual pros. And, I'm not going to lie, I like that Tim McGraw song, and guess what, Tim McGraw look kinda good. I'll finish this up later, y'all, bedtime calls.
