Bogus Gold: American Idol Top Ten review
The American Idol bug bites very hard. I found a great summary of the Top Ten show by Doug Williams over at Bogus Gold. Doug writes:
First things first: Let no one say you weren’t warned. From me last week:
Next week is supposed to be “Songs of the 21st Century.” Which means new stuff. Which means lots o’ crap. Bring a shovel and a bucket and I’ll see you next Tuesday.
Those of you who showed up expecting sweet dulcet tones unprepared for the crap-fest about to toss itself into your living room cannot blame me. I had my shovel and bucket at the ready, and if you didn’t the blame lies with your own naiveté.
“Oh sure,” you say, “I know of two – maybe even three – songs from the 21st century that don’t suck.” Possibly true. In fact I think we heard one of them tonight. But there were ten contestants left to their own song selection devices. Read on…
I don’t even watch American Idol and I thought this was funny.
Don’t start, Dan…don’t start. I hated it when my kids watched it the first season. Now that I love it, they distance themselves. I’ve cursed the show for them by liking it. I can’t even blog much about it, for fear of strange looks (hard, but possible through blogs!).
You can’t be that worried about strange looks, if you’re willing to consort with the likes of me…
