Idol vs. Skaters

Despite the Olympics being a bore thus far I wanted to make sure to catch "New York Fave" Emily Hughes and thankfully since the Olympic coverage has been so bad they decided to wait until American Idol was over before most of the skaters I was interested in had their turns.

Therefore I sat back, enjoyed and fast forwarded through a new season of too long, too verbose, too young, too fluffed American Idol.

Overall analysis:

1. WOW, most of these girls are young!
2. WOW, most of these girls are not that good--although I remember saying that last year too and they warmed up for me.
3. WOW, why are most of the girls wearing Capri pants
4. WOW, we are still using that flame background that reminds me of a burger king commercial
5. WOW, people still choose bad songs
6. WOW, who is that sleezy blond haired/moustache guy in the "dog-pound?"

I think I should be an Idol Consultant. First of all pick songs people know. Secondly on your first night out go more with up beat songs, people get bored with the slow songs. I agree with the judges half of the battle is just personality and being memorable. Slow songs=zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Whose Getting Booted:

• Stevie - You're positioning yourself too much as an opera singer, no one wants that. Oh and you're not good.
• Heather - You are just bad

Most annoying person was Brenna. I think she is trying to be Mikalah or something from last season. She'll stick around, but get the boot shortly. She wasn't even good.

For most of these girls the judges basically said how they had no confidence in them, they expected horrible but were pleasantly surprised that they weren't as bad as they would have thought..HILARIOUS.

No one really blew me away. Katherine, Kinnik, Mandisa, will make it to the top six. The thing about Paris is that she is sort of a caricature. I don't think she was that good, but she came with personality, but that could get old. She'll probably get in. Reserving my opinion on the last two spots.

Last question/point: Why are those intereviews so damn long...and boring!
