OK I’m almost ashamed to admit it but American Idol has been one of my favorite shows since it started. I am an adult man but when it comes to that show I’m a 14 year old girl. That said, this year sucks. What bothers me most is that all these kids this season have either had record deals or have had TV gigs. They’re all too self conscious.

Whatever happened to finding complete unknowns like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood working the family farm? This year they all know too much. They’ve experienced a little success and didn’t quite make it and now they are desperate for the limelight.

I’m not saying they’re not talented. They are. But let’s look at Carly, the Irish girl. She’s got a big, amazing voice. Then she stops singing and she’s playing the game too well. You want to slap her. Did you see her husband? Tattoos on his face! She acts like she’s the girl next door but I guarantee this chick has seen a few things that American Idol fans aren’t ready for. That is what would make her interesting if you ask me. It’s as if she doesn’t want to fuck up this last chance. I say be yourself Carly! But try not to mainline in the green room or knife David Archuletto back stage.

The rumor is that David Archuletto’s dad is a controlling, evil stage dad. David is amazing I must say but you can almost see him flinching when the judges talk to him. You know he got his ass whooped for that shitty song last week. “Mommy and me didn’t spend all our money to make you famous just to have you fuck it up!”

There is nothing raw or exciting this year. I fear it could be a sign that A.I. could be on the decline. They’re even pushing that Rubin Studdard (speaking of on the decline) song “Celebrate Me Home”. I’m already sick of it. Especially when Kenny Logins did it better decades ago.

The only really exciting singer is that kid with the huge head. I just can’t look at him. Seriously, that is a gigantic skull on that guy.

Come to think of it, the only one I’m really interested in learning more about is Carly’s husband. If you have tattoos on your face, where else do you have them? What do you do for a living? Insurance salesman? I think not. Let’s get more of his story on there and spice this train wreck up.
