Why Do I Hate American Idol This Season?
#1 REASON:
(See Below) Sanjaya is a trainwreck and a joke, he is the reason why this show is losing it’s charm and believability. If he continues further I will lose interest faster. I do not think his schtick is funny or entertaining. He actually makes me throw up a little each time I hear him sing or whenever I see what kind of drag queen look he is trying to pull off each week (A Diana Ross perm? Really?). He is embarrassing and just plain B-A-D. Does Sanjaya even know that his success so far is based on how bad we really think he is? I love howard Stern, but his campaign to have his fans vote for Sanjaya pisses me off.
#2 REASON:
Contestants like Gina Glocksen are being pushed to the background because of the “Sanjaya” factor. I used to think this show was legitimate and fun, now it is losing credibility and just grates on my nerves. I agree with Simon, if Sanjaya wins I will not watch this show ever again. Gina Glocksen pulled off a terrific performance on last nights show. She was hands down the best singer of them all. Even better than my girls Lakisha and Melinda. So why is America probably going to put her in the bottom 3 tonight? Because they are ruining the best show on t.v. by voting for people like Sanjaya and Haleigh, that’s why. Gina deserves to be in the top 5, if not top 3 because of her great “Pretenders” performance last night, pure and simple!
#3 REASON:
The hottest guy is once again, not the best singer. Ace Young anyone? Chris Richardson started out so strong in this competition. But now each week he is slipping into worse and worse territory. His vocal ability is waining and the judges are noticing it big time. I hate to see cute Chris get voted off before Blake. Chris has a charm and real feel that Blake can’t fake. But alas, he can’t sing good enough to even beat Sanjaya, and that is a travesty!

Earth to Keith - reality shows suck. They’re boring as hell. Bring back interesting dramas and sitcoms. Only something like Howard Stern telling people to vote for Sanjaya makes Idol fun. What would be really cool is if Howard showed up to the finale dressed as Fartman and farted in Simon’s face - http://www.atomfilms.com/film/fartman_caught.jsp

Believability? Charm? Credibility? When in hell did American Idol ever have ANY of those? It’s nothing more than a crap reality show that cranks out contracts to low-talent or no-talent “musicians” simply because they won a contrived “reality” contest!
Forty years after the fact, people are still buying Beatles albums and enjoying their music. Will we be able to say the same about American Idol “winners” forty years from now? Probably not, as most American Idol “winners’” albums are fast-tracked the the $7 bargain bin not long after they’re released.
