She's Bringing Sexy Back. Way Back.

Alright, it's only been two weeks and I'm already starting to tire of American Idol. It's not that I think Simon and co. are too mean. On the contrary. It's just that I wish — really wish — the producers would show some restraint and not put on some of the truly awful, attention-seeking people. It's one thing when there are people who think they're good but actually suck, and they're cut down to size. That is funny. But some of these people who just have no chance and only want to be on tv simply wastes viewers' time (aside from the fact that watching the show in the first place feels like a waste of time). Like that first guy Wednesday night, Ian something or other, who had that thick Brooklyn accent and barely even sang. Or that girl Sarah, who admitted she couldn't sing and that she was tone deaf, and actually thought the judges would teach her how to sing during the competition, and then wouldn't leave when they turned her down. These people shouldn't be called back in the first place, and shouldn't be given any airtime. I'd rather see the good people, with scattered bad ones in there. Enough of these two-hour, awful people only audition episodes. This season isn't really shaping up to be any good so far.

Want to know how bad it's been? Check out this video below of a woman from Memphis who thinks she's sexy, very sexy, and who says her "confidentiality" is a key part of her style. Why do I continue to watch this show? I have no idea. And why am I writing about it? I think the better question is, why are you reading?
