American Idol - January 14, 2009

Its quite clear the four judge format is not working, but since these auditions were taped, we are stuck with it for a while. The two women seem reduced to silly schoolgirls while Simon and Randy sit awkwardly to the side. Something has been lost, or maybe the show has just run its course with viewers.

Last night....... I can't even remember anyone. Oh, wait, Lil Rounds! Now there's a talented lady who has the whole thing going on. Perhaps a little too much going on, with the husband, the three kids all at the age of 23. So far, she's a favorite.

Then there was Danny Gokey, the young widower. His wife Sophia had just passed away twelve weeks before the audition and he had a lot of emotion going on. He's a likable guy with a decent voice.

Hank Williams was no doubt turning in his grave last night, when Michael Nicewonder auditioned and claimed to be related to Mr. Williams.

Then we had Jason Castro's brother Michael. Sitting there with his effeminate hair do, he had the nerve to call his brother the girlie one. He was arrogant enough to claim he had just started singing a few days prior to the audition because he figured if his brother could do it, so could he. I can't wait to see the arrogant little prick humbled in Hollywood.

So there we have it - four hours of our lives this week. Four hours of lots of commercials with a little American Idol thrown in here and there.

Why do we watch?

It seems that Paula is more intolerant of Simon, perhaps now that she has female reinforcements?

Yes, it appears that way. Simon and Randy have been sidelined and I think I may have watched my last episode of American Idol last night.
