Oh man, American Idol has been getting worse and worse since Season 4. Which is kinda understandable, since S4 rocked. Seriously, the amount of cool people in that season... With the exception of the lovely mr Daughtry, AI has really stopped being interesting for me since then. ...Okay, so I've still been watching the auditions, but for instance last year I stopped watching after they went to Hollywood. That might happen this season too. If they keep that Australian dude who's pretty much the only person I remember from the ones that got through, I might keep watching. Otherwise... Meh.
...Yay for rambling on about American Idol. :) I shouldn't even be home right now, I should be in Turku in my Tragicall Histories on Stage class, but... Kinda missed the bus. Kinda on purpose.
I completely agree. I watched every episode of season 5, 'cause Chris Daughtry was competing. He alone made it worth my while and I'm so glad he has become so succesful (surprisingly even here in Finland), even though he got kicked out before top three (in one of the most surprising result show's ever).
I tried, I really did, to watch all of season 6, but I just couldn't. None of the contestants interested me in any way, the talent wasn't anything spectacular and 95% of the final 24 sang R&B. Oh brother... I stopped watching when there were 5 people left.
I'm sorta optimistic about the semifinalists of season 7, 'cause so many "odd looking" people have made it through (I've never heard the two long-haired guys sing, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed). I hope the tattoo-lady picks good songs. The aussie has a potentially good voice, but he reminds me a little of Ace Young and that's not very positive. I hope he can shake that image by selecting great rock songs that flatter his raspy pipes.
The aussie sounded a bit like Michael Hutchence to me, which was a majorly positive thing. :D I thought that might have been just 'cause Hutchence was Australian too, but nope, he does actually list darling Michael's band INXS as one of his influences on the AI website.
I used my free time well, by sneaking to said website to see who the semifinalists were (mainly to see whether the aussie had made it - and whether I could remember what he looks like). This is the only spoiler I'll allow for myself.
I actually did go to my grammar class. Had to, it's so hard without attending lectures. Grammar is bleurgh.
...Why have we gone over to the darkside all Anglophone, by the way? Is this a random one-off, or a permanent change in language politics?
Sometimes I just get this urge to write in english. Words like "seriously hot" and "shiny leather pants" just sound so much better written in english...
You can reply to me in any language u desire (but I must warn you I only speak finnish and english)! :-)
I suppose I should sneak a peek of the finalists' info as well. (Btw, I soooo wish that Panda would have made it through to Hollywood. WHAT A FURRY BALL OF CUTENESS! *mushy*)
