Yes, I’m going to complain about American Idol. Scroll past this if you’d prefer to believe that a smart and level-headed fellow like myself shouldn’t be watching such pop tripe.
Melinda Doolittle blows Blake off the stage every time she opens her mouth to sing. Blake is a one-trick pony, and it’s not even that great a trick to begin with. Ugh.
OK, I’m done.
Seriously….Blake?!! Ugh. I’m also of the I-don’t-watch-shit-like-this camp, but Melinda is incredible.
Oh, I cannot tell a lie: I’ve been a faithful AI watcher since season two.
Ok, I’ve already talked myself down off this ledge. 😉 Melinda is amazing, and it’s probably better for her to NOT win. She’s gonna have a career anyway.
And people seem to luuuuuuurve Blake. *shrug*
I haven’t watched it at all this season, though I do see the TV Guide articles and whatnot. I know this will probably be seen as paranoid by some, but I had serious doubts that two black women were going to be in the final 2.
I don’t understand–it’s American Idol. How could Melinda Doolittle possibly make it? She CAN sing and she looks like somebody’s mother.
Brittney Spears, N’Sync, Paris Hilton, New Kids on the Block–these have all been “American Idols” at some point. Isn’t it painfully obvious that singing does not an idol make?
I don’t watch American Idol but when they have someone from Oklahoma on it it’s always the top story on the local news so I’ve seen clips of Melinda. She’s pretty good. I think Erin is right; she’ll have a career anyway.
