Help Me. I drank the Kool-Aide and I'm watching American Idol.
I've never watched it, I could care less but Bo is from North Alabama and that's all the local news has been talking about for the last week. I've given in and tonight I'm checking it out. Please return my brain later. :-)

1. It's just silly fun, enjoy yourself.
:)

I use to enjoy the silly fun, until I got a huge crush on one of the contestants and then he was sent home. :cry:

3. I've given in, too - that Kari chick, or whoever the talentless hack
is that just awfully sand that awful song to the guitar and whom we saw hanging out in her hometown and getting inducted into the town's (or state's) music hall of fame, is, I have to say, quite awful.

I caught Bo singing his a capella song, and I have to say, other than a bit cliche at times, he wasn't too bad! And I accidentally caught him a few weeks ago, and was impressed, and thought, "This is the guy who needs to win".

I can't wait now to hear the other clueless singer diva woman. I bet she sucks, too!

6. I'm very disappointed in the voting
I never heard the woman who was voted off, except to hear her sing in the final song, but man, she had it down and was singing NICE.

Carrie - what a piece of shit. Even in the ensemble piece, she couldn't maintain a tone or stay on a pitch or offer anything other than CRAP.

Bo is okay, but his occasional forays into cliche are bothersome. I hope someday he finds his own voice, instead of trying to be an amalgam of other voices.

8. he really does do well...
when they let him break out of the mold. that's the biggest problem with AI - they want cookie-cutter. Vonzell was beautiful and sang well, but she did miss a lot of notes in a lot of songs up to now. i think she'll be great with time though. lol at your critique of Carrie, did she bleat like a goat?

7. Da-yum I was actually rooting for Bo
I'd never seen him perform. He's really good. He sang in some bands here in Huntsville but I've never seen him. It's between he and that other chick. Go Bo. Sweet Home Alabama. :-)
