TV Links - American Idol in Chaos
I knew we were in trouble last night from the get go. Ryan said that they had a tight schedule, but what he didn’t say was that Paula was in a different space/time. Where the heck was she when she was commenting on David Cook’s second song when he had only sung one!
But let’s for the moment put aside the horrible direction of the show, and the fact that the judges have become completely redundant and useless. What was really BAD was the singing. Awful, hopeless, forgettable, dull, are just a few of the adjectives that come quickly to my mind. Neil Diamond has an incredibly rich volume of songs that are as memorable as any catalog that I can think of. And what did these singers do to the songs - totally mutilate them. Paula fell asleep and for good reasons. Simon was beside himself - probably because the ratings for American Idol are falling. This show needs some juice, and I think they need new judges to go out and find some really great singers, and not just re-threads of the last six seasons.
Well, enough of my rantings. The good news is that Dancing with the Stars is as fresh as it has always been, and Kristy and Jason are going to the finals, and it should be lots of fun. Shannon and Derek will have to find a bedroom somewhere to complete their own season finale.
Now for the vote. I’ll hold my nose and say that Jason is going home tonight. What do you think?
