American Idol... sigh

Well, this week was disappointing to say the least. I wasn't overly impressed with the song choices this week... and though Chris chose an unknown song, he still sung it perfectly. That guy can sing anything. I was a bit surprised that Bucky got voted off rather than Ace, but what the hell else is new? Nothing is going as it should this year on AI... Mandisa got voted off before Ace and Bucky for God's sake!

I don't have much to say about it... and probably won't about next week either. Rod Stewart sings the classics... UGH. The least they could do is let the AI contestants sing Rod's good songs. Lord knows the newer ones suck total ass! I mean... no Maggie Mae? No Young Turks? No Hot Legs? No Do You Think I'm Sexy? WTF????? I so could see Taylor singing Hot Legs, Chris singing either Young Turks or Tonight's The Night... and Ace, of course, singing Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. I personally don't find him all that hot, but a lot of the teenie boppers like his smoldering looks and his smile... and they'd squeal in delight if he could sing that song... But Nooooooo. None of Rod's greatest hits... just the new stuff he sings... classic songs.. boring songs... songs that will put me to sleep and make me want to wear ear plugs. Oye.

So, out of morbid curiosity, I had to go to Amazon and look at the songs they were referring to... here's the list of Rod Stewart's Songbook (s)... all three albums. Ick. Gag me. Blech.

The producers or whoever is in charge of choice of songs to choose from ought to be shot, eliminated or f**ked good and hard to where they can't see or walk straight for weeks on end! That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it! Next?

And Bucky is my favourite. I didn't think he had a chance of winning - but I think he's a pretty good singer and I like his personality. I was sorry to see him go. And I'm with those who just might skip next week. I don't like Rod Stewart and even less do I like the songs they will be singing - blech!

WHAT!? Only those songs?? I gave my mother the #3 CD and she gave it away ... and she loves RS. She said it was awful to listen to.

Well this sucks. I can't imagine AI not allowing them to choose from the good stuff. Unless RS is trying to get these songs more recognition so more people buy the CD's.
