Sligh(ted) by American Idol

This is one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make– right up there with choosing which struggling show to vote for in Eonline’s Save that Show poll– but it must be done. I can’t go on like this. I just can’t do it anymore! Gwen Stefani?! Tony Bennett?! Honestly, I barely survived Manilow and Estefan unscathed. What next? Hasselhoff Week?
I suppose I always believed you could change, that we could go back to the way things used to be. But the excitement? the originality? Totally gone. It’s all about the scandals and catering to the advertisers and the relentless onslaught of uber untalented, delusional contestants who inexplicably remain on the show, torturing us with their hideous caterwauling, week after week after week after week… You promised me that Kelly Pickler would be the last, that this year things would be different, but you lied! That’s right! I KNOW about Sanjaya! Heck, everybody knows! You flaunt him, with his cute, flippy hair and his neverending bevy of tween girls (eh, and probably quite a few boys) who cry and scream “Sanjaya 4-EVAH!” and vote vote VOTE ’til their little tweenaged fingers BLEED… And I just can’t take it anymore.
I’m sorry, American Idol, but it’s over. I just can’t see you anymore. Not like this. It’s just too painful. I’m erasing you from my TiFaux. I hope someday you can understand.
P.S. Blake and his pants are awesome. Jordin and her hair are awesome. Lakisha and Melinda are idiot savant awesome. That is all I have to say about that. Wait! And Ryan needs to never do that pony-hawk thing with his hair again never EVER. I’m serious. Shist ain’t right. Okay. Now I’m done.
Cat, you crack me up.
Yay. I have my wife back.
Hey, I’m a country music fan, and I have to listen to Kelly Pickler’s dreadful voice a couple times a day with her horrid new song about her stupid red high heels!!!!! Plus my sons are convinced she had a boob job, because her rack –”HUGE”… Anyhow, I hear ya girl!
I don’t get the idiot savant comment. Am I missing something???
Nope. Just being extraordinarily rude. They don’t LOOK or ACT like pop stars, but they are freakishly talented and rock the hizzouse!
OOOHHH. And I agree.
Hey Sistah,
I agree…I ‘ve only watched a few times because it was sooo boring. I don’t care who wins. Bummer, huh? Because it was fun discussing it and reading about it on your blog.
[...] I am weak. I admit it. But, hey! Don’t judge! So what if– perhaps– I feel like checking in with American Idol every once in a while?! Huh?! So what if– perhaps– I find myself lurking in the TWoP forums reading the recaps. Huh? What? Just because I broke up with American Idol, I can’t check up on the show? Whatever. [...]
