It's Baaaaaaack!

Well my small consolation in the TV world of no writers is that American Idol is back...and my stomach hurts from laughing.

This particular picture was taken two years ago at the little party I hosted for the opening night. I was mid-coffee-drink when a less than stellar singer tried to go up the down escalator...in a dress, no less...and I nearly spit coffee on my guests. This time it was tea that just about went flying, but the general idea is the same.


Oh goodness. I just have no words for so many of them. I can't even remember their names...but there have been some scary ones. The guy who wrote the stalker song for Paula both amused me (as Kristin said, "Who knew that much rhymed with stalk her?") and scared me to death! I felt bad for the girl who even softened Simon's heart...and it was very nice of him to walk her out to her parents and break the bad news to them. I liked the girl at the very end - the nanny who hasn't watched an R-rated movie. I thought she had a good voice and she seemed to be just a good person.
Tonight's crowning moment was saved until the end - with that never ending brotherly love song. Good grief. I don't think the singers who got through today (most of them anyway) were as good as yesterday's. A couple of them got through on sheer luck. How did that happen?
Anyway, it brought a bit of laughter to my day...so welcome back, American Idol!

Oh, and I'm on the road! So many bad singers making fools of themselves, and I can't watch it! Bummer.

And I forgot one of the grossest ones when I posted! My sister reminded me when she emailed me. This one guy has years' worth of fingernail clippings saved in a baggie - and he BROUGHT them. Actually I think he called them fingernail "peelings." Whatever it was - it was disgusting and I have to quit writing about it before I gag.

By the way...he made it through. I hope his collection did not.

It has been entertaining. I will never think of Princess Leia in the same way though. That was disgusting too and creepy. And the red headed guy who sang in circles, he obviously forgot his meds that morning. Simon is being funnier then ever and seems to have softened a bit.

I haven't seen much of the show so far but what I have watched has been funny. Hooray for another season!!

Tina - I forgot about the circle guy. (I have to start taking notes!) He was so weird!!!!

Natalie - I figure a good laugh is a good workout, right? So far...I've worked out a lot!
