American Idol. Great show…THE FIRST TIME.

Ahh, American Idol. Great show… THE FIRST TIME. Remember how awesome the first season was? And then how kinda awesome the second season was? And how not awesome it’s been ever since? I do. But apparently, millions of idol-wannabe’s and viewers still give this crap the time of day. I can understand why people try out; to be famous. Everyone wants to be famous- it’s a self esteem thing. A.I. is a great way to give it a shot, without a doubt… It’s also a great way to embarrass the shit out of yourself.
So is that why everyone’s so damn obsessed with it? I’ll tell you right now, after the first few in-Hollywood episodes, I’m done; the good part’s over and only the boring remains. I’m actually pretty curious as to how much American Idol ratings drop when it’s been narrowed down to people who are actually quasi-talented.
I suppose Simon Cowell could be a big part of the reason people stay tuned. He’s definitely a source of entertainment in himself, with all his insults and overall douche-baggery. He always manages to get people all riled-up. But you definitely can tell that even Simon is like “WTF you people are nuts.” And, Paula- oh my God, what a wackjob! I’ll admit there were times I watched just to see HER embarrass herself. (Friggen spacey weido all hopped up on painpills. Simmer down, crazypants.) But now she’s been replaced by some boring bitch who thinks she’s important; can’t be her. Can’t be Randy, as theres nothing special about him other than he’s the token black guy. Can’t be Ryan Seacrest, as he is just… gay. So I continue to have a hard time understanding the appeal…
So basically, to me the show sucks after people are done looking stupid, but for some it gets better; for those who have nothing better to do with their time then unhealthily obsess over celebrities. It happens every season- a bunch of people single out their favorite contestant and “idolize” them to the point of pathetic stalker-status. Take Adam Lambert for example, last year’s runner-up for top spot. The dude didn’t even win and he’s got obsessive-fans up the ass (…a long with a few other things, I’m sure). I mean, don’t get me wrong, Adam Lambert is a talented artist/musician, but like- really, people? You really need to make a MySpace dedicated to how much you sweat his balls? You really think he reads all your Tweets that say something like “Adam I love you so much! You’re so hot and such an inspiration BLAH blahBLAH BLAH BLAH”…? No, bitch- he doesn’t care that much and I guarantee you he doesn’t think you should either.
Sick psycho-crush or not, America will continue watching A.I. and I will continue to not give a shit. I don’t know when each episode airs, and I’m OK with that. I don’t know who this week’s celebrity judge is, and I’m OK with that, too. Because it’s dumb. If YOU are curious to know the show schedule, go to Fox.com, or Google it or something because honestly, I have already wasted enough of my day talking about this.

this is why i freaking love you, Ms. That Girl. If I ever get a glimpse of it on tv, I puke in my mouth a little. Whyyyyyyyyyy is it still on??? WHYYY!!??!? It’s an awful, obnoxious show that feeds off the stupidity of others. And I may be wrong, but I feel like anyone else who has won since Kelly Clarkson has hardly made it as big as her…. I hate Kelly Clarkson, by the way. barf.
