I never thought I'd say this, but I am bored. BORRRRRR-ED of Idol -- at least tonight's episode. I don't know if it's the song choices or the contestants themselves but tonight, I actually turned it off. In fact, I turned off the television altogether. Michael Johns should definitely "go his own way." And Luke Menard -- he actually belongs to a singing group --an a capella group no less, so I was expecting much more from him. Maybe he should try it next week without the band. But it was Jason Castro and his darn guitar that broke this camel's back ...maybe it was the lack of originality or the fact that he thinks America and the judges are so blind and dumb that we'll see his guitar and forget that this is a singing competition or maybe I'm still reeling from the news that my musical hero (MC is my heroINE) Prince has to have hip replacement.
When Prince was the age of most of these contestants, he had released five albums (including the classic 1999) and had single handedly launched the careers of Morris Day and the Time, Vanity (and her Six) as well as Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin (who-- a bit of trivia here-- wrote the TV show Heroes theme music).
I may be bored, but I'm still hopeful and of course, I'll tune in tomorrow (in between ANTM commercials) to hear the girls prove me wrong.
