AMERICAN IDOL: I DON'T GET IT

Okay I have never been a fan of this show and I wish someone would explain to me America's fascination with this show. I do admit that I love to watch the audition episodes - are people kidding with that shit or what?

This season I watched the audition episodes and just tuned in to see the final three...what's the big fucking deal? None of them scream IDOL to me. None of them scream powerhouse vocals - maybe the Jordin girl but she's so lifeless - she sings and does not much else but stand around. I can't begin to express how unbelievably BORING it is to see someone sing and do nothing. She sang a solid rendition of Leiber & Stoller's I, Who Have Nothing - but she didn't let me feel it (and it's one of the songs that rips my heart out) Blake Lewis (who is adorable) has a bit better appeal because he at least tries. He has a cute look, his adorable dance moves and that beat boxing thing he does - although his vocals aren't really much. Melinda went home tonight and I thought she had a great voice - but with not much personality. Best of luck to all of them - I am sure they are lovely people but I just don't get it.

Someone please tell me why American Idol is such a big fucking deal? I see better singers in shows all the time. Maybe I just have a little too much time in my hands because I honestly don't really care. Oh and Simon Cowell - you're an asshole.
