idolatry

Okay kids, you asked for it, so here it is!!!! My poorly typed and poorlier written blog on all things idol, only the best show ever conceived ever. Since I missed blogging after tuesday's show, this one will have to cover two nights and as such might be a bit lengthy. oh well. if you wanna know who is gonna win, you will just have to slog through my useless ramblings and reminisce for the days of yore when i would blog drunk after getting home from the bar and they would actually be somewhat amusing rather than pathetic attempts to feel like i am still vaguely in touch with the rest of the world outside of my diner. ho hum, motherfucker.
anyway, this year idol has finally embraced the feedback from fans and decided to showcase an equal amount of hideously bad self-deluded still living with their mothers social outcasts and people that can actually sing, for which i am eternally grateful. i am one of the few people that actually enjoy the competition part of the show more than the horrible audition weeks. in fact, hollywood week might be my favorite. i love to see them all sleep deprived and irritable, but still vaguely innocent to the fame machine that gets ahold of them once they enter the actual competition. bad hair, ugly clothes, questionable style, bad skin, and voices of angels. Ahh, nothing like it. but i digress. back to this week's auditions. Kansas City, yo. and somehere in arizona or something. who cares. of the 50 or so people put through by the judges, only a handful stand out in my mind.
my ppick for winner of the whole shebang would be danny gokey,aka dead wife guy, except he is too much like david cook and the prodcuers will push someone different, probably latino. but his voice was awesome, he's super cute, and his wife is dead, so sympathy votes will get him at least to the top 5.
stevie wright,aka maybe ugly girl, was also awesome. couldn't tell if she was pretty or not. she would trun her head one way and be beautiful, then look the other way and seem a little horsey. we'll see. she's only 16, so she's disposable.
anoop desai...he was the indian guy dressed like he just came from getting high in the park with the awesome voice. i hope he cleans up well. i like him A LOT.
rocker chick, aka emily wynne-hughes (too much name), aka big spacers in her ears girl was good. i loved that she sang Heart a capella, and pretty well. but, since i can't stand to look at her becasue he giant spacers gross me out, i am betting america is too conservative to hold on to her for very long. grody. top 12 maybe.
ashley anderson, aka leona lewis, jr. maybe the winner this year. gorgeous, good personality, great voice/control, smart song choice. bitch.
scott macintyre, aka blind guy. he's a lock. he's blind, for chrissakes.
deanna brown, aka janis joplin jr, also freakin great. the blond with the wiggy eyes that sang with that smoky-i've-been-chugging-soco-voice. i hope she is more than a one-note.
matt brietzke, aka teddy bear....sand Ain't No Sunshine (good choice). big lug with chops. maybe top 12, no way he'll win.

ok. there were a lot more that made it through, but these are my early faves. did anyone else notice the guy named cody sheldon who looks dead up like silver on 90210? look it up...you'll choke on your cheetos (your hot cheeto, sarah potter?)

and one last shout out: alex wagner. they totally set him up to be a self deluded freak, then he came in and sang like butter. i hope he takes it all. i don't think he will, but he could be this year's sanjaya or chicken little. so weird, but i love him anyway.

whew. that was a lot to pack into just one blog. can't wait til next week. happy time-killing, people.
holla.
