I was over at my brother's house last night, and they have gotten sucked into the vortex that is American Idol. I don't usually watch it, but I was there, and it was on, so I watched.
Last night, 12 guys sang, 2 or 3 of which I thought were ok. The others picked some absolutely horrid songs. Richard Marx, I call your name! Stevie Wonder! Listen to what they are doing to your classics.
It was brutal to watch. There were i think 4 Stevie Wonder songs, karioked to death. If Stevie Wonder were dead, he'd be rolling in his grave. Actually, he's prolly rolling around on his living room floor trying to shut out the horror.
I would love to hear Nick Hornby's take on American Idol, especially through the characters in "High Fidelity." They could go on for chapters about this all.
I won't be allowed the temptation of watching tonight, as I'll be at work.

The dude that sang "Drift Away" gets my vote, as he was the only one that a) didn't bore me, or b) creep me out. Actually, two or three others were good too, although I'm not really into their style of singing. The last guy, and the guy that did "Moon River," for instance. He put his own spin on it, which is nice.
As for commenting, comment away! It makes the whole blogging thing that much more interesting.
