I guess I just don't get it. I love independent music and have high regard for independent musicians but I can't stand American Idol. It's painful. Paula has to be drunk but is in denial about it. Simon is rude and socially unacceptable…albeit accurate most of the time and Randy, well, he just wants to fit in.
The songs they select are dated and lately all sound like a commercial for Michael Jackson…remember him? The contestants are as rough as they can be. Is this some weird attempt to show a before and after photo of how Idol can make barely talented common folk rock stars?
Host Brian is surprisingly, normal this year. He tends to comfort the verbally and emotionally whipped wannabe stars and asks nearly closed-ended and simple questions after each performance. This reality bites.
