american idol

I wont be watching American Idol tonight (the Adam vs. whoever finale); instead, I'll be watching Criminal Minds since pigs eating humans should be much more enjoyable than anything American Idol has to offer.

But I will be watching So You Think You Can Dance next week (I think, or the week after.) At least those contestants can do something remarkable.

Lost is set to return next week so tonight ABC is airing three hours of the last season's finale to confuse us more remind us of what happened.

And another two hours of American Idol.

M - Lost Repeats of last season's finale

Gee, I wonder what the number 1 show on tv will be tonight? Homeland Security USA? ha! NCIS? Probably #2 in that hour. American Idol? Duh.

I really have no aspirations to watch AI this year, even with the fourth judge. I usually watch some of the auditions (the best part of the series for me) but this year I may just go on an anti-Idol crusade. Or try to ignore it. Unless, near the end, there's someone worth rooting for.

Is it true? American Idol hasn't aired on the West Coast yet - it just finished its East Coast live broadcast - and technorati has posts regarding the winner...

David Cook? Seriously? My mother, who for the past few days has been saying that the other David, Archuleta, was going to win. And as far as I knew, he was the one to beat. (And beat Cook apparently did.)

(And I should point out that I barely saw any of this years shows - bits and pieces only - and I really didn't care who won. And you don't have to win AI to get a record deal - second place isn't that bad.)

Was reading on tvguide.com an article about how Fox should change American Idol next season since it seems it's slipping in the ratings a bit. (I guess being #1 isn't good enough.)

I'm not a fan of the show, but I have watched it on and off over the years. Now, I don't think anything would make me watch it more often than I do - tuning in from time to time - but here are my suggestions for improving the show:

That's right. American Idol returns to Fox tonight.

And after attempting to watch it over the last couple of years, I've determined that this is one of the most pointless shows on TV. (Anything with Donald Trump is also quite pointless.)

They really should just rename it "American Pop Stars." Idols they aren't. Most of them just blink out of sight. Some make an album or two (Kelly, Carrie) but mostly they just fizzle out after a while. In fact, it's probably better to not win the show (Daughtry).

UPDATE: Disregard the last sentence. From what I understand, Jordin Sparks won. It's times like this I'm glad I live on the West Coast. I don't actually have to watch anything that's "live" to find out who won.

Thank the gods for time zones And my faith in american reality tv is restored.

Not that I had a lot of faith in reality tv....

/UPDATE

If for some reason Blake wins American Idol, I'll forever give up on that show.

UPDATE: On April 18th, Sanjaya was voted off American Idol. Of course, now American Idol will become really boring for the rest of the season.

I've tried hard to avoid American Idol this year. (Better things to waste my time on, I suppose.)

I watched a lot of the audition episodes (mostly to see the freaky people that the producers want to make fun of) but I found the contestants to not be that great this year. (I'm still a little bit irked that Mandisa was voted off early last year.)

But it seems every time I turn on the news, Sanjaya is there.

Not that I really give a rat's ass (or care one iota for that matter) but it appears that Taylor Hicks won American Idol.

(It hasn't even aired on the West Coast yet, and since Lost is on opposite Idol, there's not a chance in hell Idol will get my viewership tonight.)

Please remember I gave up on Idol weeks ago. After Mandisa got 'voted off.' I'm a fair weather Idol viewer. I'll watch 'till my favs get kicked off. And Taylor and Katherine weren't faves. Taylor's too odd, and Katherine sounds like lots of other singers.

American Idol Results April 5 - America Sucks. Mandisa was one of the best singers they had. Now I have no reason to watch this show. (Actually, I missed last nights show because... well, okay, I didn't care enough last night either.)

Lost April 5 - Did anyone else want Hurley to jump? Like usual, we're left with more questions than answers. So who is in charge of the Others? The Hatch is a facade to keep people confused? Give them something to do while... what? Is the Guy In Charge Of The Others the guy in the training film?
