American Idol - the Forgetable Season

I don't know their names this year. American Idol seems like Star Search now. Simon is only there because his contract says he has to be - for the next two years. Sure, these kids are talented, but it's background talent, with the exception of David Archuleta, there are no front runners, not at this stage of the game.

This week Robbie Carrico, Jason Yeager, Alaina Whitaker and Alexandrea Lushington got the boot. Alaina Whitaker took it hard and was embarrassed because she "balled on television". Ryan and Paula were very kind to her and reminded her this was just the beggining, not the end. Paula tells that to all of the contestants who receive the boot, but I wonder, the beginning of what? Auditions and agents and frustrations and more let downs?

Most annoying this year is Danny Noriega and I will be so happy when the little punk gets his walking papers. Somehow, annoying seems popular in this culture, so I'm sure we won't see the last of him once his Idol journey is finished. If you have not yet reached the gagging point with Little Miss Priss, maybe this will push you over the edge:

I agree. This kid is just so annoying. And for what? He's not even good looking. Actually he's very girly, even down to his ugly Jolie lips.
