My Top 5 American Idol Picks
Some of you loyal readers may have noticed I stopped reporting on FOX’s “American Idol” last week. After watching the first few episodes it dawned on me that I couldn’t keep track of all the great singers amongst all the rejects. The bright spots were just too few and far between and I was getting annoyed by the staged bullying (the locked door was SO on purpose!). The first episodes dragged on too long and I got pretty bored by the cartoon-ish depictions of ugly people with the silly editing and crude sound effects.
This week we finally got to the Hollywood episodes where we get to see and hear the cream of the crop. After Tuesday’s “group” audition and Wednesday’s solo episode the judges cut the groups down to 12 girls and 12 guys. The final cuts that were issued on Wednesday were brutal. Some contestants took the bad news pretty harshly and man did it make for some seriously good television. The final girl who was cut looked as if she was going to blow chunks. She just about curled into the fetal position with disbelief and shock.
This year doesn’t have the same excitement as I feel last years competition did. I did see a few bright spots in the beginning auditions though. I have listed them below for your reference. I can say right now, with the most confidence, that I think Chris Richardson will win this year by a landslide. If I had to say who I think his closest competitor is it would be Melinda Doolittle. Now that I have said it on the record, let me know your favorites, I am very curious to hear your opinion.
