Everytime I watch American Idol, I wonder about this. So in the beginning, they parade a whole gaggle of simply AWFUL people. I mean, just god awful singers. I always wonder… are these people serious? Flynn and I were talking about this once and he said, yes, those people are real. And I’ve no doubt that there are ridiculously bad singers out there. But can they not know it? I think they must on some level. Right? And wouldn’t someone tell them at some point? This is why I love Simon. I mean, honestly, isn’t Simon the reason you watch this show? Without him, it’s Starsearch. Read: BOORING. But with him, it’s like someone is finally saying all the things you always wanted to say. But you don’t get in trouble for it.
Sometimes I feel bad though. Especially when they come close to making them cry. That’s a little over the line. But still. Part of me is with them. And you know, it is a singing contest too. So they asked for it in a way. I’m rooting for the Indian brother and sister right now. And that cutie with curly hair. And the dude who beat boxed. Those are my current leaders. But I fear for the Indian brother and sis team. One of them is going to be sent home at some point and it’s going to be sad.
(To be fair, Simon totes went over the line when he likened that one dude to a ‘bush baby’. But he dude has some pretty weird crazy eyes, didn’t he? See, what I’m saying?! Simon speaks what we are thinking! And sometimes, we are awful.)
